The Canon Pixma MG3650S is an inkjet printer sold under the 100 € mark. It is intended for occasional use for teleworking or for taking family photos. Its low price does not prevent it from offering interesting features.
A budget printer is not necessarily synonymous with poor quality and Canon proves it with its Pixma MG3650S. Easy to set up, it offers borderless photo prints, with precise colorimetry and good quality in office automation. In addition, the cost of printing per page is low and there is even a two-sided mode, which is rather rare in this price range. We simply regret the rather slow print speeds, copies of limited quality and the absence of a touch control screen.
Strong points
- Accurate photo colors.
- Automatic duplex mode present.
- Relatively low cost per page.
Weak points
- Fairly slow print speeds.
- Poor quality copies.
- No touchscreen control.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Canon Pixma TR4650 fulfills its mission. It is quite versatile for a printer at a contained price. However, the note can quickly increase because of its high cost per page. If you don’t need to print photos, a laser printer can be a good alternative with generally lower cost per page and better print speeds.
