wow thanks for this video! downloading the app on iOS so that the printer can connect to the wifi network was the key1!!!!! my app interface was different, but when i click on the app "cant find printer", the app connected to the canon ij wifi and then I was able to add my house's wifi info to the printer. all because the printer doesn't have a screen. then, the app was able to detect the printer and i can print from the phone! now i just need it to work with my computer too. thank you!
I’m glad you found it helpful! Yes, the Wi-Fi is one of the biggest issues with these printers. I was struggling for a while trying to get it to work. I’m glad you got it up and running!
I did the same, then went into the "add Printer" function on the Mac and it showed up. Added it in and now it's good to go. For some reason, the house wifi would not recognize the printer, but the app on the iPhone did. Just odd, but at least it works now.
great video, thanks for clarifying stuff I'm probably gonna struggle with when it finally arrives (excited!!). Question: have you tried printing on card stock or heavier textured paper? Hoping it can handle heavier weight matte & textured papers for things like art cards, greeting cards, etc. loved your vid & subscribed! wish you lots of success in your art sales & youtube channel.
Hi, I’m glad you found it helpful! I haven’t tried card stock (only gloss and matte photo paper). I found the matte to be difficult to print on because it bled and didn’t show up well. Thank you for the well wishes!
@@frannypie. how exciting! Wishing you the best of luck in following your dreams! Let me know if there are any videos you’d like to see that would be helpful for you on your journey😄
@@evokeaholicartshop yesssss a day or week in your life please!! and if you're comfortable talking about your journey to starting the shop or how you pack your orders, anything really 😭
After connecting my printer through the same method as you, I am getting an orange light and no online troubleshooter seems to grasp the steps taken. I doubt anyone has the solution here?
No, I don’t clean it after every print. I would suggest doing the deep cleaning when you notice the colors aren’t coming out as they should even when you know the ink levels are high. It adjusts the nozzles and clears any blockages. Hope this helps!
That was the biggest issue I had with this printer! The WI-FI feature tends to be difficult to connect at first , but once the app recognizes there was a printer nearby it has been smooth sailing. I would recommend visiting the canon website and looking up your specific printer and try following those steps! Hope this helps!

Hi ☺️ thanks for the review ! And tip!!!! Have you used any other brand for paper? If yes, are you still happy with the print? ☺️ 😊
Hi, I’m glad it was helpful! I personally stuck to using the canon brand paper to ensure the highest quality.
I have the canon iP8720 and I've tried EVERYTHING to get it to connect to my iPhone and nothing.
Did you figure it out?
I’m dealing with the same thing
SAME
omg girl stop i was literally a click away from buying the pixma 6820 LMAO thank you so much for this!!
Of course, I’m glad it was helpful!!

Where did you get the organizer to keep all your paper stuff
Hi Dena! I got it from Michael’s craft store! I love all of their office organizers😊

How often do you have to do the cleaning? Is it after every print?

Does the Wi-Fi on this printer work? I have the pixma i6820 model and it doesn’t connect.
That was the biggest issue I had with this printer! The WI-FI feature tends to be difficult to connect at first , but once the app recognizes there was a printer nearby it has been smooth sailing. I would recommend visiting the canon website and looking up your specific printer and try following those steps! Hope this helps!
I can’t get it to connect to wi fi
I bought this printer thinking I could scan canvas but I don’t think I can…
dumb question: this can print just normal text documents too right? lol
Yes, it definitely can! Just switch out the paper and adjust the settings on the printing app accordingly (plain paper.
@@evokeaholicartshop thank you! Just ordered one :)
