Overview

The Canon PIXMA iX6820 is a wide-format inkjet printer built around one core capability: producing high-quality output on large media, up to 13x19 inches, without the cost of a commercial print run. At 9600x2400 dpi with a 5-tank ink system, it's engineered for color accuracy and tonal range — the kind of specs that matter when printing presentation graphics, photo proofs, or marketing collateral where detail and color fidelity are non-negotiable. The 64MB memory buffer and dual-network connectivity (Wi-Fi + Ethernet) position it as a shared office resource, not just a desktop printer.

In practice, this printer fits a specific niche: small businesses, designers, photographers, or educators who regularly need output larger than 11x17 and can't justify a wide-format production printer. The iX6820 is print-only — no scan, copy, or fax — so it's best deployed alongside a multifunction device rather than as a primary office unit. Ink management is genuinely better than most competitors at this size, thanks to the individual tank architecture. The trade-off is that it's an inkjet: idle time causes clogging, and print speed on large-format jobs is measured in minutes per page, not pages per minute.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 13x19 maximum print size handles presentation boards, charts, and marketing mailers that letter-size printers can't touch.
  • 9600x2400 dpi resolution produces sharp, gallery-quality photo output and clean fine-line graphics.
  • 5 individual ink tanks mean you replace only the color that runs out, reducing consumable cost per page.
  • Ethernet and Wi-Fi support makes it deployable in both wired office networks and wireless home setups.
  • 64MB of onboard memory handles moderately complex print jobs without requiring a constant host PC connection.

👎 Cons

  • No duplex (automatic double-sided) printing — a notable gap for a business-positioned printer.
  • Large-format and photo print speeds are considerably slower than the rated 15 ppm black figure.
  • Inkjet technology means ink can smear on glossy media if handled before fully curing, and long idle periods can cause nozzle clogging.
  • No ADF (automatic document feeder) or scan/copy functionality — print-only device.
  • Ink cartridge costs can accumulate quickly under heavy large-format print volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

The iX6820 prints up to 13 x 19 inches — also known as Super B or A3+ — making it one of the larger-format options in its class for an inkjet business printer.
It supports wireless printing over a standard Wi-Fi network as well as Ethernet for wired network environments. Initial setup can be completed wirelessly; no permanent USB tether is required.
It uses 5 individual ink tanks. Each color replaces independently, so you're not discarding a full cartridge when only one color runs out — an important cost consideration for business use.
Canon rates it at 15 ppm for black text. That figure applies to draft-mode standard documents; photo-quality or large-format prints take significantly longer, as is standard for high-resolution inkjet output.
In addition to Wi-Fi, the iX6820 includes Ethernet (wired network) connectivity. It does not include NFC or mobile-specific printing hardware beyond standard wireless network printing.
