Key Advantages

The Canon PIXMA MG5520 excels with its high-quality six individual ink system that enhances photo printing color accuracy and longevity. Wireless connectivity including Wi-Fi and Apple AirPrint provides seamless printing from multiple devices without cables. Its compact design fits well in home environments, saving valuable workspace. The built-in 3.0-inch LCD touchscreen improves user experience by simplifying control and previewing images before printing. Auto duplex capability is an environmentally friendly feature that cuts down paper consumption. Compatibility with a wide range of media types makes it ideal for creative and professional documents alike.

Limitations

Despite its advanced features, the Canon PIXMA MG5520 has some limitations, such as relatively slow printing speeds compared to laser printers, especially for text documents. The ink cartridges can be costly and may require frequent replacement depending on usage volume. The printer lacks an automatic document feeder, which reduces efficiency for multi-page scanning or copying tasks. Wireless setup may be challenging for users unfamiliar with network configurations. Additionally, the device's operating cost is higher due to the inkjet technology and six individual ink cartridges. Firmware updates are infrequent, which may affect compatibility with newer operating systems over time.
