T’s ultimately the performance that matters most—a good feature set should ideally translate into pristine photo prints, crisp formation of text and flawless reproduction of colours and contrast, especially with a premium inkjet multifunction device such as this one.
Speed: The print speed isn’t exceptional, but just above average. On an average, it takes around 8 seconds to buffer the print job before it pulls in the first sheet and starts printing. The MG4270 printed 5 percent text document at 8 pages per minute(ppm) in both Fast and Normal mode. The only difference is the amount of ink used to print in the two modes; the latter is darker and crisper. With quiet mode activated, the speed drops to 5 ppm. The black and white text copying speed is about the same—it takes about 8 seconds to scan and buffer the page and then it prints at 9 ppm in fast mode. Colour copying is much slower. We copied a magazine page that had a mix of black text and colour photos. After scanning and buffering, it printed at 3 ppm in normal mode. So, if you copy a single page in colour, it will take around 40 seconds for the print to roll out from the time you press the Start button. Photo prints of 4×6 size is the slowest, because the focus is on print quality. In Standard mode, it takes around 50 seconds to print a borderless 4×6 colour photo, and the same job takes 1 minute and 43 seconds with the quality set to Best.
Quality: We started with text prints. The quality of text printing is very good if you use good quality paper(bond or alabaster paper). Even very fine text in 3 point size was legible.
