Canon MAXIFY GX5550 inkjet printer Colour 600 x 1200 DPI A4 Wi-Fi

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Canon’s MAXIFY GX5550 is one of those “make printing feel painless” office inkjets. If you’re in a small team that prints regularly and wants decent colour output on A4 without getting into the faff (or cost volatility) that comes with some higher-end inkjet setups, it’s a sensible buy. The Wi‑Fi and print-only approach make it a straightforward shared-printer candidate for a reception, admin office, or an SME department where people need reliable documents and occasional colour without treating the printer like a lab instrument.

That said, I’d be cautious if your volume is very low or you print in fits and starts. Inkjets generally don’t love long gaps, and the real cost of ownership will depend on how quickly you burn through ink and how you manage print settings. Also, at ~£461 ex-VAT, you’ll want to be sure you’re not replacing a cheaper mono laser that might be cheaper per page for plain text. If you mainly print lots of spreadsheets, invoices, and mostly-black docs, a laser is usually the more boring-but-economical choice.

**Who should buy:** small offices / teams needing colour A4 documents consistently and wanting easy wireless setup. **Who should skip:** businesses printing sporadically, or anyone chasing lowest cost per monochrome page.
