## Description

Wireless MegaTank All-in-One Printer

Review: Much easier to setup using the Windows app! - Since 1995 I've used many printers starting off with a Canon bubble jet. Since then I've used Brother, Canon, Lexmark and Epson. Admittedly for print quality Epson's sub lim dye is the best printing you're going to get. Their ink also lasts longer in regards to photo-life. As far as cost and availability of their ink at stores though is another question. Cost-wise they're all pretty much on par with each other for all brands these days. You can improve the print quality on Canon printers but you'll have to fool with the settings to get there which I don't mind doing. You'll also use a little more ink but that's the cost of quality. The Windows App made setting this printer very easy and kudo's to Microsoft and Canon for that. This is my first tank printer which I'm looking forward to using but you have to keep in mind that if you don't use the printer at least some what regularly, the ink to the printhead WILL dry out if you leave it idle for too long. Keep that in mind for EVERY printer unless you're using a laser jet. After adding the ink and updating the software I printed out my test page, simply scanned it and the printer itself set the print alignment to it's best settings. Super easy! Print outs aren't the fastest which is fine I'm not looking for speed to be honest. Print quality is very good on standard settings but I'll probably set it for best print quality later. Canon printers inherently have a sequence of sounds that hasn't changed in 28 years lol. Same for most other brands too. Not annoying but not silent either so don't expect that. It's no louder than the other brands. Canon has always done good black and white printing well before the other printer brands and their color quality has improved significantly as well. Having tanked ink versus having to buy cartridges is VERY cost effective! You essentially pay double for the printer but save long-term in the amount of printing (the REAL cost). We used to have a Cartridge World store that would sell refurbed ink tanks that worked 100% of the time but that location closed recently and sadly. If you have one near you I highly recommend them! I had recently bought an Epson XP4200 AOI printer but finding the cartridges took some time and forget locating them in your local store unless you get lucky, then came the cost. The XL cartridges range $30-$50 which is about what I paid for the printer new. Even off brand ones aren't that cheap. Having a tankless printer saves me time in finding ink and saves me a ton of money over having to buy overly expensive cartridges. Many of the 3rd party ones don't always work either so it's iffy in regards to cost savings. If at some point I have to do the printhead bath to clean them I don't mind, it's well worth it for not having to buy outrageously expensive cartridges. I'm done with them! I definitely recommend this printer even if you're only doing average home use. Just remember to use it every week even if just once. Update: I'm almost 2 years into using this now and I'm still using the original ink that came with it! How's that for REAL cost savings? Over that same time frame for ALL my other printers I would have bought at least 6-8 ink cartridges MINIMUM! At an avg. cost of $33 each that works out to $264 in just ink and then add in the cost of the avg. printer and your now at over $300 easily. In savings alone, I've almost doubled my money! The printer and ALL of it's functions still work 100% of the time and I've probably printed way more than double what I would normally have done. In black ink I'm still over 50% full too! This undoubtedly IS the way to go without question. Yes, it is an upfront investment of sorts but it pays for itself very quickly.
Review: I would strongly suggest buying this printer. My best printer in 35 years !! - I love it after 5 months of pretty continous use. I just leave the printer on all the time, so it can clean when it needs to. The printer is very easy to use, Prints very clean, especially on black and white printings (with no jams at all). The ink is lasting a long time so far. My old Epson ink jet printer would have gone through at least 2 cartridges by now.

### ⭐ So disappointed:(
*by C***A on June 30, 2025*

Terribly inefficient connection, unreliable color accuracy, and confusing support from Canon (or lack thereof) I thought I had found the perfect budget printer for starting my art business.. the glowing reviews online and the promise of longlasting inks compared to other companies. Suffice to say, after hours of frustration, bouts of rage and wasted paper, I am extremely disappointed. I think the ONLY net positive about this printer is the fact that the inks look like they will outlast any of the cartridges from other printers like Epson, while also being so much cheaper to refill. Which is WHY I am so angry and disappointed at this piece of junk. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go back to Epson, which I DID NOT WANT! And here's why: 1. Excruciatingly slow and inefficient wifi: This printer's ability to connect to wifi and stay connected is ABYSMAL, it constantly goes offline between prints, it struggles to reconnect and you will spend up to 30+ minutes waiting for a single sheet to print while having the dreaded "Unable to Locate Printer" screen loading forever and ever. As a small business owner with deadlines, the constant connectivity issue is impossible to sustain. To top it off, it doesn't come with any ethernet port, and you're forced to buy a special printer/usb cable just so you can reliably use this printer. I don't want to have to pay an additional cost for something that should have been included with this printer, just to fix a problem that shouldn't even exist! I never had this issue with my Epson, or any other device! It makes no sense! 3. But this was the dealbreaker: DULL, WASHED OUT COLORS AND INCONSISTENT RESULTS ACROSS ALL SETTINGS AND PAPERS!! I have tried every single iCC that canon offers (which by the way, are not available in photoshop for some weird reason, despite all the epson paper settings being there without me having to do anything. I've installed the driver on my mac and even had to ask chatgbt for help to no avail) and different papers. My blacks are printing gray on cardstock, then brown on another paper, no matter what I did, it never prints black correctly!! I printed another design with the same exact paper on Epson, and compared that with Canon. The Epson print looks vibrant and matches the colors on my monitor perfectly, while the Canon print is COMPLETELY WASHED OUT AND DULL by comparison. Same exact settings, same exact print, tried all the other settings, NO IMPROVEMENT! There was like 1 print that came out where the blacks were close to accurate, yet with the same exact paper and settings it has never happened again! I've wasted so much paper for nothing!! 4. Lack of a physical manual or a link to an actual guide, you are forced to download their app and go through several hoops to find a visual setup procedure. There are no videos or troubleshooting steps I could find from the website. The printer automatically comes with a useless feature that tells you there is no paper loaded when there is, and you're forced to figure out how to turn it off on your own. Navigating the settings on the printer's tiny screen is equally confusing. Now, I can suffer through this thing's abysmal wifi by paying extra for that cable, I can suffer through the lack of a physical manual and useless/confusing setup guides from Canon's app, but the color inaccuracies and lack of steps to fixing them are a huge no for me. The only reason I returned my Epson was because it smears any paper with gloss in it, and there is no fixing that. The massive HEADACHE and mental turnoil I've suffered from having to DIY my way out of every endless caveat with canon's pixma g3270 is simply not worth it. I'm returning this thing ASAP
