However, the iX6850 delivers sharp, vibrant prints with a five-ink system, making it perfect for photos, graphics and documents alike.

The Canon PIXMA TS9550a is a more practical replacement for the Canon PIXMA iP8750, especially for those who need more than just high-quality photo printing.
While the iP8750 performs well in A3 photo printing with its 6-ink system, the TS9550a offers a more all-in-one solution with A3 printing capability, a 5-ink system, and the added benefit of copying and scanning up to A4. This makes it ideal for home offices, creatives, and general users who require both high-quality prints and everyday document handling.
The Canon PIXMA TS9550a features automatic two-sided printing, a touchscreen interface, and broader connectivity options, including network and an SD card slot, providing greater convenience and flexibility. Although serious photographers may miss the iP8750’s extra grey ink for smoother gradients, the TS9550a still delivers excellent colour reproduction while being a more compact, all-in-one solution for both creative and business needs.

The Canon PIXMA PRO-200s is an excellent replacement for the Canon PIXMA iP8750 for users seeking higher-level photo printing with superior colour accuracy and professional output. While the iP8750 offers great print quality for enthusiasts, the PRO-200’s 8-ink dye-based system provides a wider colour gamut, enhanced gradients, and more precise tonal accuracy, making it ideal for professional photographers and artists.
It also supports a broader range of paper types, including fine art and heavyweight papers, and can handle borderless A3+ prints with ease. The PRO-200s has faster print speeds and network connectivity, further making it suitable for a studio environment, and offers more efficient workflows for those who require high-quality prints in a professional setting.
While the initial investment is higher, the PRO-200’s superior colour reproduction and versatility in paper handling make it a worthwhile upgrade over the iP8750 for users focused on delivering premium-quality photo prints.
