Model overview based on user reviews  
The Canon PIXMA iX6840 is an A3 color inkjet printer known for its high resolution of 9600x2400 dpi and relatively fast printing speeds, with 14 ppm for mono and 10 ppm for color prints. While it offers good photo quality and quick printing for an inkjet, users have reported significant issues with color accuracy, particularly with reds, greens, and yellows not matching the screen display. This discrepancy has been highlighted as a major flaw, especially after installing a Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS). Despite these color challenges, the printer supports various connectivity options, including USB, LAN, and AirPrint, and can handle a wide range of paper weights from 64 to 300 g/m². However, the absence of a display and the need for immediate CISS installation are noted drawbacks. Overall, while it has potential, the Canon PIXMA iX6840 may require additional adjustments to meet color accuracy expectations.

a model with serious flaws

The ink volume is really low, a CISS was installed right away, and that's where the problems started... maybe not immediately, but my results, as they say, speak for themselves. The colors on the screen and on the printed page differ drastically, especially the reds, which are practically nonexistent... that's how it is... Overall, it prints quickly for an inkjet, and the photos come out well.
Colors are not accurately being transferred from the screen to the printer, I don't understand why. It just doesn't have the standard colors you select... red, green, and yellow are missing!
