The Canon MG5570 is a cartridge-based printer available in two color choices: black or white. Its initial price is lower than that of a similar tank-based model, but it has a higher running costs.

Unlike some other PIXMA units, this one comes with only a front-loading paper tray with a maximum capacity of approximately 100 sheets of paper. Also, its color LCD panel is a bit smaller, which is two and a half inches instead of three inches. It does have the other same good features, however, such as auto duplex, wireless connectivity, ChromaLife 100+ Photo System, mobile printing, and a hybrid ink system.

Features and Highlights

Five Ink Cartridges

Users of the Canon MG5570 who don’t print often might want to stick to the standard-capacity cartridges, while those who need more can buy the extra-large (XL) ones. These XL cartridges are available for both pigment and dye inks that are used by the printer to output printed pages.

Its five inks include an additional black ink, so in addition to three color inks, there are two blacks ink in the printer. This addition means the printer can output higher quality prints, but it requires more money to run.

Every ink cartridge that is completely depleted can be replaced easily whether you choose a standard or an extra-large cartridge.

Remote Printing

The MG5570 takes advantage of the internet technology to print pages from afar. Its Google Cloud Print function allows users to send files stored in their Google accounts to the printer for printing.

For files that are stored in another cloud storage account or on a local device, they can be sent to the printer via an email.

Double-Sided Printing and Copying

There are several things you can do to shave down the printing cost, including printing or copying on both sides of every sheet of paper. The amount of money you can save from this printing method might not significant, but it has at least another advantage that makes it worth it.

Printing double-sided pages as often as possible will reduce the amount of paper you’d have to deal with. The less paper you have, the less time you need to spend on organizing paper.

Wireless Printing Without Router

The Canon MG5570 lacks the convenience of direct printing from digital camera or memory card, but it does support wireless printing. And what’s more, there is no need for a router to print pages wirelessly, thanks to the printer’s ability to establish connection between itself and other devices by enabling the access point mode.
