Hey guys! Sorry for the long video, I just wanted to chat and explain as much as I could about this subject! When I was starting out there were 0 videos about this, so I really hope it helps a bit! If you have any questions, let me know! I'll try my best to answer them 💛
I very much enjoyed the chat and explanation! Personally I don't thin the video it too long at all. It was very nice to hear your experiences, thank you for that! I'd gladly watch more of it :)
Perfect!! Def do a sublimation vid. I think that would be a great addition to artists to do their own totes and things too! Great vid!! I did notice that the hp eco tanks were more reasonable this year at Walmart online for smaller projects. Tysm for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
so much good information, thank you so much! Now I try to make decision how to start produce my own stickers so I make a research about printers and plotters. And your video is so helpful ❤
Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for such a thorough review and discussion on printing. I'm buying my first colour printer in a decade and didn't know where to begin - I had so many questions but nowhere to ask them. I found the IX6850 when looking for large size cardstock printers and stumbled on this video and it answered so much! And even questions I didn't think to ask :) Even you mentioning the third party inks was helpful. You are so lovely and I wish you the best!
What a sweet comment, thank you so much! Glad this helped, when I was searching for a printer I didn’t found much also. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Yayy 🎉Thank you so much for ur help guide me through it, you have helped me so much and quick with response. You have taught me to understand my printer better. Sending hugs you’ve saved loads of paper and ink knowing this. ❤
The color quality and inconsistencies were a huge reason I switched to getting my own printer as well. I have that same exact printer it’s great and does a great job at printing crisp and fine detail, but it sucks up ink bad! I’m going to look into that website you provided too, I’ve been looking for alternatives! Canon is great quality, but their inks are a damn scam. I also had a lot of wasted paper trying to figure out settings and I’ve noticed it’s way worse with matte paper! When I use gloss or even semi gloss printing straight as rgb works fine, but matte seems to dull everything, but it’s sturdier and I use it for bookmarks and cards.
I always felt like the canon inks ran out WAAAAAAY faster than these ones! So not only they are more expensive but maybe have less ink? 😂 Yeah, matte paper sucks way more ink than glossy, since the ink stays on top of the paper, doesn’t have texture. Maybe try a less textured paper or some photo matte paper? I noticed a bit difference on my prints :) Hope this helps 💛
Hi Beatriz, thanks for your wonderful video! Appreciate your experience, tips, lots of product info & links. Very useful, you're so generous. Your art is gorgeous too, good luck with your channel 🥰😍
such a great video ... I am new into this set selling world and you have explained it just like I wanted to understand it A huge thanks from Studio Artify :)
@@aPenasIllustrator thank you. It’s just that here in US the no is so expensive. I wasn’t sure if you hear about Epson printer that has a big tank for ink. It’s really nice and the ink is good too. The problem is if you don’t use it often it forgets you and had to set up again 🤦🏽♀️
@@JoodsMom I’m sure if the sticker paper width is 8.5. Just as a regular paper I’m sure it’ll accept it. The only thing with rolls is you make sure you print out multiple that way it’ll continue to print from the sticker roll paper. If you know what I mean. Now, one more is to make sure you have paper roll holder. I’m sure you can either DIY it or maybe ikea have it. Those roll paper for kids that holds.
I just bought an Epson Ecotank and was very excited about it but the ink bleeds and I have lost so many pages to ink splotches. Your canon is still available to buy in the UK so I might consider selling my ecotank and getting this. Also, A3 printing! 😮 amazing. I also didn’t know you could play with the colours prior to printing. Is this a Canon thing?
I’m so sorry about that :( Maybe it’s a faulty one! But a 200-300€ ecotank won’t have a lot to play around. The better the printer, the more you can play around with the settings. I don’t think it’s a canon thing, it’s really if it’s a better printer or not :) Good luck!! 😍
@aPenasIllustrator Hi, thank you for this video, well explained, however there is something I don’t see discussed amongst crafters; does inkjet printers ink spread and get ruined if touched with a wet hand? How do sellers get away printing stationery, stickers etc without the fear of people complaining that they purchases got ruined if they happen to get wet? Or are inkjet inks waterproof? This is one reason I feel more inclined to a laser printer, but I find inkjet inks blend colours better.... so I’m in a bit of a dilemma here with which to go for 😩
I'm also interested in your answer @aPenasIllustrator, and if you have a brand or advice of inks that last longer when the prints are exposed to sunlight? Thank you for your video and all the advice that you share !!!
Ayyy talk about perfect timing. XD I was re-watching the "How to make a notebook" Thank you for the amazing video. I have another type of printer (I'll have to find it in my storage unit)
I hate the printing part hehe. It's mostly due to how the different types of paper work and finding the right setting for each one. I wish there weren't so many types of paper 😅. I definitely have lots of settings to play with on my eco tank but it is one of the more expensive ones from the photo range, I think the cheaper ones are more of a 'home office' range. But we have saved so much money on the ink as it lasts so long.
Yeah that’s the most boring part.. that’s why finding the right paper at the first try is even better 😂 Yeah exactly! They are more expensive because the ink is cheap. So you have to get the even more expensive ones to get the best quality. I totally agree on the ink part! I have my eco tank for sublimation for 2 years now and only bought ink once 😅
thank you SO MUCH for that long and helpful video about this printer. I think I'll get this one for art print and print stickers with my cricut, the fact that it can print on 300g/m² is also a big plus ! one thing though, maybe i missed it but where's the link for the pc settings you're talking at 10:45 please? that'd be super helpful for when i get it :D thanks again !!
Very useful video, thank you ❤ My question this printer automatic duplex print? Do print all papers 350 gsm? All paper up to A3 . All types of paper (glossy, matte...)
Hi, thank you so much for your review and all the great tips IX6850. I've had a look on the website that you linked to for replacement inks but it is in Portuguese and I'm not sure which inks to buy. Would you be able to link me to the exact inks you use so I don't buy something that is incompatible. I am located in Ireland so hopefully this company will ship to the EU. Regards hally
If you can print on 350mgs paper...that's amazing because the specification they provided says you can print up to 300mgs. Please, could you confirm that again?
Hi ! 💜 Thank you for your video, I was looking for a printer from now a month, and since the beginning I had a crush for this model, your use totally convinced me 🥰 I'm looking forward to receive it ! 💜 Nevertheless, I took a look at your paper list, but I think there is a little mistake with the link for the transfer paper for totebags, which is the same as the navigator paper for notepad 🤔 If you're adding the right link, please let me know 🥰💜
Thank you Beatriz! It's a very very helpful video. I had lot's of disappointments with printing companies and although they all have excellent customer service, I cannot achieve what I am looking for. I am almost sure I will invest in your recommendation but I wanted to ask - do you think that this printer would be equally good for digitalised watercolour paintings (I know you work with digital artwork but I am wondering what is your opinion). In any case, I appreciate you sharing this information with us! Muito obrigada!
not printer related ~ but just wanted to say that I love the shelves that the printer rests on! your studio is lovely! where are the shelves and the drawers from?
Bia, vc usa papel Offset para as capas dos cadernos? As impressões ficam ótimas. Não consigo essa vivacidade com papel comum, só com o fotográfico. O fotográfico desbota com o tempo. Aí temos que laminar. Não gosto da textura dos meus Sketchbook com capa laminada. Não consegui ainda resolver isso artesanalmente.
@aPenas Illustrator.. hi hun could you do a quick tutorial on how to do make your own custom profile like you have shown.. mine isn't saving and i have the same printer as you .. think i might be doing something wrong.🤷♀ i have search on how to do it but i come up with nothing only how to do a full on ICC profiling with colour charts etc..
Hi Beatriz, I am a graphic designer and have been using this same printer since 2020. There was never a problem in the beginning using alternative inks but recently, I'm starting to get a warning when I use them and the printer doesn't work. I was able to reset the printer for awhile so that I could still use the inks but I haven't been able to reset it after the last ink change. Have you noticed your printer doing the same?
Hiii! I never had this issue! Did you change the ink supplier? Or maybe it's your normal supplier and they changed something. Drop them an email asking and if so, maybe try other inks. Might be because of the ones you're using or the batch they come from :) Hope you can solve it!
@@MariaWalker-qo3vi Hi! Yes, I managed to reset it but I needed to leave it overnight before it would work🤷🏻♀very strange but just happy it's working again!
thanks so much for this.. do you have other recommendation other than IX6850, I found that it's not available in Canon Philippines.. Is there a newer model?
Bonjour, merci pour votre vidéo je cherchais un avis pour acheter la canon PIXMA IX6850, Tu m'as convaincu. Mais j'aimerais ton avis, est elle bien pour éditer des étiquettes prédécoupé type Avery, en petits caractères.
hi! i dont think the "transfer paper for totebags" link is working as it should :o its the same as the one above it , unless you use just normal printer paper for transfers??
Thank you for watching! After installing the driver you should be able to access your printer’s settings and change the hue of the printing 🤗 maybe that could help and do a few tests with different settings
Great video! I keep coming back to find hints and tips :) I purchased this printer based on your recommendation. I have wasted so much paper and ink is running down as I can't seem to get the colour profiles correct. I used Canon manages prints/matt photo paper, but the prints keep coming out too dark. I tried putting colour brightness on light, which has helped, but has impacted the dark details and lighten that too which I don't want. Is there a way I can lighten the image but keep the black details/contrast the same? Also do you print in CMYK?
Yeah that’s normal, I also did it a lot! A trick that I used in the beggining was printing smaller pictures in the same sheet and keep noting what settings I use. I know you can choose a setting from light do darker where you also can play around with saturation, colours and all of that :) I also play around in photoshop before printing and do a few tests! Sometimes it’s easier :) hope this helps! I always print the images in rgb directly from the iPad, I never convert them
Thank you for the detailed reply! Good tip on printing on smaller paper, I have been going through so many A4 sheets. I have noticed that paper quality makes a big difference!!
Hey there! I have a Canon Pixma MG2450 and I get the error code 1700 (Ink absorber is almost full code). I have changed the ink absorber but still, the code persists. Is there a procedure to erase error codes? Thank you.
I got a printer thinking I can start selling prints, but I have so many issues. For example my printer can print max A4 but I cant print it borderless. If I fiddle with the settings I can make it borderless but then it makes the print larger than the actual page and cuts part of it off. Also the ink runs out so fast. I printed only about 10 pages so far and I already spent like 30% of the ink. i should've just went with outsourcing idk
Outsourcing might be the best way for some! I love being in charge of the process so printing is for me for sure. It really depends on the printer, to be able to play with settings and control it a bit more you have to invest at least 150/200€ in my opinion :)
Hey question, literally, how do you print them? I bought that model and the prints are not coming out good. I read somewhere that it requires a software (not the canon app) to adjust better the quality and size of the art. How do you send the picture to the printer?
Hiii! You have to install the printer driver and then install the printer again. Otherwise you won’t be able to acess the settings I show here 🥰 hope this helps!
That will really depend on the inks you’re using more, so it’s really hard to tell and it’s different for everyone. I probably change my black maybe two or three times a year because I don’t use darker colours 🤷🏻♀️
There's no specific 'sublimation printer'. A sublimation printer is any printer that you put sublimation ink in it. I use a ecotank for that because it's easier to do that. Just keep in mind that every printer that you convert to sublimation will lose it's guaranty
I found that paper on amazon, Windspeed 36 Sheets Holographic Laminate Film Waterproof Vinyl Sticker, Transparent Holographic, otherwise I buy it through Aliexpress, so I'm wondering if that printer can print on it, i fond in the end video link for diferend paper
Thanks for wonderful video! Can you please confirm if heavy papers like 250gsm? I am having very hard time finding the right printer. I already tried 2 printers and failed :( Many thanks!
@aPenasIllustrator thank you for your kind reply :) I could not find this printer in Australia and I saw a blog saying that ix6850 is Europe version of ix 6820. Do you, by any chance, know if this is true? We have ix 6820 here but not ix6850. So sorry to bother you! I am very desperate. Many thanks
@@ellapark3437 Not really sure! I know the 6850 is the A3 model so the 6820 might be the A4 or an older model before this newer one? :) But I don't really know! hope you can figure it out 💛
Hi! can you please tell me what color profile do you use? I can't get it to print closer to what i see on my screen colors are so dull unlike my hp envy :(
@@ClaudiaPelagattiwklize I don’t use any of those profiles, I have no idea what is that one! You can install different profiles and if you install the printer driver you should acess them. I just change the settings as I showed in the video :)
@@aPenasIllustrator 🙏🏽u deserve it 😅 u out so much joyful ness inside of my inner bubble 🙏🏽 gratitude dearest DIVINELY cosmic flowers ENERGY 🙏🏽 🤗 this is mean so much for me 😅
I'm considering buying an epson eco tank, but for the quality I need it costs ~€700 😆. I already have an Eco Tank and the color lasts sooooo long its crazy and cheap.
Yeeees it’s crazy isn’t it? I only got inks ONCE for my sublimation eco tank 😂 I think if the funds are available, 100% go to an ecotank! But it’s way more expensive for the same quality 🥲
Hi! I have an ecotank and my prints are grainy especially with yellow. I dont know what to do i had different settings alreay. What could be the problem? Also i dont get what you mean by spending a lot to get the best quality?
hi, I would like to print on waterproof holographic stickers, I am looking for a printer that is cheap and prints beautifully and I think I have found it, I am just not sure if the printer will be able to print on waterproof holographic printable vinyl sticker paper, I would be grateful for your answer
@@aPenasIllustrator thank you for reply ! Appreciate it been stuck just when I was about to start selling i realised marks on my prints. And i read that because canons are inkjet dye based they are not waterproof 😭 i saw the book mark tutorial and so I ordered matt laminating paper, just hope it works because ive been trying to get a final product for months now
This video was super helpful!! However I'm experiencing one issue i cant seem to figure out. I have this same printer, and i'm using the a3 plus sized paper, but it doesnt seem to want to print onto it and just feeds straight through. I can't see how to add a3+ as an option when printing. if anyone has any advice i would be incredibly grateful :)
@@aPenasIllustrator turns out I was just being dumb 😂 I couldn’t see it as an option in the settings and completely forgot that I can just add in custom dimensions… it’s been a long day lmao but tysm for responding ❤️
I use photoshop but when I go to printer settings, I can’t find the colour capability just have 4 showing media & quality, layout, paper handling, cover page, watermark. Am I missing something please help. Thank you
@@aPenasIllustrator It's a video about a printer...most people finding this video, like myself, won't know your channel, I found this by looking for reviews of the printer. Not very helpful when nothing printed from it is shown in the video taking about it.

I know you can choose a setting from light do darker where you also can play around with saturation, colours and all of that :)
I also play around in photoshop before printing and do a few tests! Sometimes it’s easier :) hope this helps!
I always print the images in rgb directly from the iPad, I never convert them
Thank you for the detailed reply! Good tip on printing on smaller paper, I have been going through so many A4 sheets. I have noticed that paper quality makes a big difference!!
@@tashal8879 oh definitely!! Specially if you use loads of darks, you can only get deep colours with photo paper 💛
Hello ☺️
Do you find difference when you print through smartphone and laptop ? For the colors
Hi! I've never printed from my phone, so I'm not sure! But I always print by photoshop because of that, so that the colors are always the same :)
Hey there! I have a Canon Pixma MG2450 and I get the error code 1700 (Ink absorber is almost full code). I have changed the ink absorber but still, the code persists. Is there a procedure to erase error codes? Thank you.
I got a printer thinking I can start selling prints, but I have so many issues. For example my printer can print max A4 but I cant print it borderless. If I fiddle with the settings I can make it borderless but then it makes the print larger than the actual page and cuts part of it off. Also the ink runs out so fast. I printed only about 10 pages so far and I already spent like 30% of the ink. i should've just went with outsourcing idk
Outsourcing might be the best way for some! I love being in charge of the process so printing is for me for sure. It really depends on the printer, to be able to play with settings and control it a bit more you have to invest at least 150/200€ in my opinion :)
Hey question, literally, how do you print them? I bought that model and the prints are not coming out good. I read somewhere that it requires a software (not the canon app) to adjust better the quality and size of the art. How do you send the picture to the printer?
Hiii! You have to install the printer driver and then install the printer again. Otherwise you won’t be able to acess the settings I show here 🥰 hope this helps!
Thank you so much for the video!!
Alooo! Sim, uma das impressoras que tenho é de lá, é de confiança :D Boa sorte com as impressoras eheh
If you could guess, on a fresh full set of cartridges how many full colour a4 prints would you guess you would get from them?
That will really depend on the inks you’re using more, so it’s really hard to tell and it’s different for everyone. I probably change my black maybe two or three times a year because I don’t use darker colours 🤷🏻♀️
How much A3 sheet full color photo can print with one sets of colors?
Hey, you mentioned sublimation the internet seems to suggest this particular printer doesn't work for sublimation, is that incorrect?
There's no specific 'sublimation printer'. A sublimation printer is any printer that you put sublimation ink in it. I use a ecotank for that because it's easier to do that. Just keep in mind that every printer that you convert to sublimation will lose it's guaranty
@@aPenasIllustrator Thank you for the clarification!
I found that paper on amazon, Windspeed 36 Sheets Holographic Laminate Film Waterproof Vinyl Sticker, Transparent Holographic, otherwise I buy it through Aliexpress, so I'm wondering if that printer can print on it, i fond in the end video link for diferend paper
That is to laminate, so you apply on top of the printed sticker paper you use :)
Hi! I have epson ecotank printer and my prints are grainy even with different settings. What shall i do?
The printer is not good I'm afraid.. Only expensive eco-tanks have the same quality and 180-200€ normal printers, as I mentioned in the video :)
😃👋
Thanks :D
Thanks for wonderful video!
Can you please confirm if heavy papers like 250gsm? I am having very hard time finding the right printer. I already tried 2 printers and failed :(
Many thanks!
Hii! I've printed with 350 paper with this paper with no problems :D hope it helps!
@aPenasIllustrator thank you for your kind reply :) I could not find this printer in Australia and I saw a blog saying that ix6850 is Europe version of ix 6820. Do you, by any chance, know if this is true? We have ix 6820 here but not ix6850. So sorry to bother you! I am very desperate.
Many thanks
@@ellapark3437 Not really sure! I know the 6850 is the A3 model so the 6820 might be the A4 or an older model before this newer one? :) But I don't really know! hope you can figure it out 💛
Hi! can you please tell me what color profile do you use? I can't get it to print closer to what i see on my screen colors are so dull unlike my hp envy :(
I show all my printing settings from 10:31minutes on the video! I hope it helps :)
@@aPenasIllustrator thank you where did you get the ACES cg linear profile from? :)
@@ClaudiaPelagattiwklize I don’t use any of those profiles, I have no idea what is that one! You can install different profiles and if you install the printer driver you should acess them. I just change the settings as I showed in the video :)
Love u video so much
Thank you so much 😍
@@aPenasIllustrator 🙏🏽u deserve it 😅 u out so much joyful ness inside of my inner bubble 🙏🏽 gratitude dearest DIVINELY cosmic flowers ENERGY 🙏🏽 🤗 this is mean so much for me 😅
I'm considering buying an epson eco tank, but for the quality I need it costs ~€700 😆. I already have an Eco Tank and the color lasts sooooo long its crazy and cheap.
Yeeees it’s crazy isn’t it? I only got inks ONCE for my sublimation eco tank 😂 I think if the funds are available, 100% go to an ecotank! But it’s way more expensive for the same quality 🥲
Hi! I have an ecotank and my prints are grainy especially with yellow. I dont know what to do i had different settings alreay. What could be the problem? Also i dont get what you mean by spending a lot to get the best quality?
hi, I would like to print on waterproof holographic stickers, I am looking for a printer that is cheap and prints beautifully and I think I have found it, I am just not sure if the printer will be able to print on waterproof holographic printable vinyl sticker paper, I would be grateful for your answer
You'll need to use a laser printer for that! :) Hope it helps!
@@LucidResinDreams Thanks, mayb i buy Canon PIXMA iX6850 foto pisač Tintni 9600 x 2400 DPI oder envy

Hi! Do you seal the print covers? I find that my print covers smudge when in contact with water, think its an inkjet thing ? Please help !
Water should be in contact with paper 🥲 you can laminate them (I have a bookmark tutorial where I show that) or use spray sealers!
@@aPenasIllustrator thank you for reply ! Appreciate it been stuck just when I was about to start selling i realised marks on my prints. And i read that because canons are inkjet dye based they are not waterproof 😭 i saw the book mark tutorial and so I ordered matt laminating paper, just hope it works because ive been trying to get a final product for months now
am I an artist? no
Do I make stickers? no
Do I even own a printer? no
Did I watch the whole video? hell yeah.
@@celaenasardothien703 hehehe love it 😂 thank you for your service 😎🫡
This video was super helpful!! However I'm experiencing one issue i cant seem to figure out. I have this same printer, and i'm using the a3 plus sized paper, but it doesnt seem to want to print onto it and just feeds straight through. I can't see how to add a3+ as an option when printing. if anyone has any advice i would be incredibly grateful :)
You can choose A3+ size in the settings, as you choose any other size :)
@@aPenasIllustrator turns out I was just being dumb 😂 I couldn’t see it as an option in the settings and completely forgot that I can just add in custom dimensions… it’s been a long day lmao but tysm for responding ❤️
@@user-pp9dq6cd5i you’re welcome 💛🥰
Hi! How many prints can I make in A3? A thousand thanks
It really depends on the colors I'm using! But I can print maybe more than 80 sheets :)
I use photoshop but when I go to printer settings, I can’t find the colour capability just have 4 showing media & quality, layout, paper handling, cover page, watermark. Am I missing something please help. Thank you
Hiii! Did you instales the printers driver before installing the printer?
Hi thank you for your quick reply, I downloaded the setup from online and connected to wifi, that’s all I did. Have I missed something?
@@elainemyers3630 search for your printer model and driver, you have to install that file, then desintall it from the computer and install it again :)
@@elainemyers3630 but the amount of setting you get acess to depend on the printer, cheaper ones won’t have as many options
I will give it a try, wish me luck lol thank you again.
I Just bought the printer, does anyone had any issues with connecting it to their Mac book wirelessly or on their phone
You have to install the driver first and then install the printer on the Mac 💛
Ela imprime até que gramatura??
Este modelo imprime em 350gsm sem problema, mais que isso nunca experimentei.

18 minutes and you didn't show 1 example of something printed from it.
I show it in most of my videos, wasn’t the focus on this one, was to mostly answer the most common questions I get about printing :)
@@aPenasIllustrator It's a video about a printer...most people finding this video, like myself, won't know your channel, I found this by looking for reviews of the printer. Not very helpful when nothing printed from it is shown in the video taking about it.
You can always check her videos to see the quality of the printer. It’s not that hard 😅
