Canon PIXMA TS6550i

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £87.23 ex‑VAT, the Canon PIXMA TS6550i is the kind of budget AIO that makes sense if your “office printing” is mostly light-duty and you don’t want to spend much up front. It’s a reasonable choice for small teams that occasionally print in colour—forms, spreadsheets with decent graphics, school/marketing handouts—where you value an easy all-in-one workflow more than razor-sharp, high-volume output. If you’re printing a lot of black text every day, though, this is the wrong direction: inkjet economics usually punish you over time, and the cost per page can sneak up faster than you expect.

I wouldn’t buy it if your office has a heavy monthly print count, or if uptime matters more than everything—inkjets are generally more sensitive to intermittent use (drying/clogging risk if you go quiet). It’s a better fit for businesses that print consistently enough, can handle standard ink replacements, and want a low-cost multifunction that’s “good enough” rather than a workhorse. If that sounds like you, it’s a decent value. If not, you’ll likely be happier shifting to a laser or a higher-end ink tank setup for long-term cost control.
