PIXMA MegaTank G3000 All in One WiFi Ink Tank Colour Printer with Scanner for Home, Upto 6000 Black and 7000 Colour Prints with 2 Additional Black Ink Bottles

Writing this review after Four Years of buying this printer.Pros: Very Very easy to install both hardware and softwarePrint Quality is good in its classEven after four years still using the same print cartages that came with the printerYou get two big bottles of black ink and three small bottles of colour ink with the printer.Did not face any paper jam issue in the last four yearCannon Image Garden software is extremely powerfulif you have placed let say for different pics at the same time for scanning, the software has a featureto club them into one , this was very useful for me to make collage.Cannon Mobile print application is very usefulPrint speed is best in its classEasy to perform printer auto clean with softwareLot of online resource available if in case you need any trouble shooting.Cons:The only Cons id if you are not using the printer for a very long time then the ink will dry inside thepipes and you will have to reset the printer and this will lead to ink wastage as the printer willrealign during the reset process and will circulate the ink flow again in all the pipes and print headsThis is a natural phenomenon with all inkjet printers so cannot be considered as a direct Cons in itsreal meaning.Rest I cannot think of any other bad experience with the printer it is working very good till now and I recommend this printer to all.

I’ve used this printer for over 5 years and here’s the honest take:This printer is not suitable for occasional home use. If it stays powered off and is used only once or twice a month, expect ink clogs, frequent flushes, wasted ink, absorber issues, and costly head replacements—very frustrating.On the positive side, being an ink tank printer, it’s economical compared to cartridge models, and with regular use (at least one print a day), it performs reliably. Keep it dust-free, away from heat and moisture, and it delivers sharp, clean prints with original inks. Photo prints also come out excellent on quality photo paper.Verdict: Great for regular users, but for infrequent printing, consider a printer with piezoelectric print heads.

I am writing this review on this printer after using it for over a year. In this year, I printed about 2000+ pages both color and black&white. So my review is based on observations on them.=== Print Quality ===This is definitely the brightest point with this printer. I used Epson ink tank printer earlier and were not satisfied with the results of it. But this Canon printer makes the cut. I am amazed to see the results of the printing both color and B&W. I printed many photos on photo papers and the results were better than the inkjet printers.=== Ink Longevity ===This is another biggest selling point of this printer. The printer came with 4 ink bottles - Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. After printing over 2000 pages so far (photos and documents) I still see 50% of the ink left.=== Ease of Use ===I can connect this to my wifi router and get started in 5 minutes. All I need is to read the instructions carefully. And voila, all my devices - Computer, Laptop, Mobile and iPad - can print without any hassles. They can detect the printer and starts printing just in minute.=== Paper Feeding ===In my more than one year experience with this printer, I never faced a single paper jam. If at all something happens, check paper feeder if any small objects stuck accidentally.=== Scanner ===Not used much but overall quality was ok. If you want crystal clear scans, this is not for you.=== Copier ===Its just a click of button. Keep your document inside the scanner and click on blabk or color button. Your document copy is ready.=== Issues ===So far I came across only one issue. The printer orange light starts blinking and the messages shows that the ink cleaner bed was overflown and needs a service. But I followed the instructions on Youtube videos, cleaned the ink cleaning bed and cartridges for 4 to 5 times and then the printer came back to normal. But this took over 4 hours to understand and solve the issue.=== Advice ===1. Do not perform system cleaning too many times. This will cause overflowing of tank on ink cleaner bed and malfunction your primter.2. Do not use cheap paper, use paper such as JK Sparkle etc.3. Do not print photo prints on normal paper, use photo paper or thick paper.4. Make sure to print few papers at least once a week with all colors. This will reduce color logging inside the tubes.Overall, I am very satisfied with this printer and the quality of prints it gives you.Update 11/11/19I faced one more issue after long time. The printer unable to feed the paper and I couldn't find any object inside the feed. After two days of struggling I came up with an idea of reverse feeding the paper from inside the printer, i.e. open the top box to see printer inside and switch off and onthe printer. While stopping, it reverses spinning wheel and load paper manually to it just in time. Voila, it started.

Chose canon over others due to its mega reputation and Classy size & shape.Its all-in-one ability supersedes all contemporary brands.Here are my few observations of the product :1.) Its an ink tank printer that comes with separate ink tanks to be filled with ink red , yellow , blue & black .Its always considered to be more economical for per page printing and should be chosen if you have bulk work on a routine basis.In these ink tank printers, it is also required to take prints on a minimum weekly basis or prolonged non-usage may lead to drying of heads .2.) The construction of the printer is very elegant and solid and the ink tanks are absorbed in the regular chassis of the printer unlike HP brand, however it is my personal preference.Solid doesn't mean you can afford to drop it , it means the plastic used for construction feels very premium and rigid.3.) Regarding functionality - It can scan and print documents very fast .Page size supported is from 4.0"x 6.0" photo paper to A4 ,Letter ,Legal , A5 , B5 .I purchased glossy kodak photo papers 280 GSM & paperone A4 100 GSM papers and the print quality was excellent.For pictures , it takes few minutes but its worth the wait .If you choose the right paper the photos are bound to be very good ,However at few places i found the shade of green slightly dark in print than in actual photo that was scanned.Resolution is good for both photos and documents.Printing makes slight noise but is tolerable , its not like neighbour or even other room person will be disturbed.4.) Got it with additional warranty for onsite repair for next 2 years.5.) I bought it first then realized i don't have that much work to use it on daily basis so i would ask my readers to buy only if you have routine works or make use of shops.

Writing this review after just 13 months of purchasing this printer. Over these 13 months I probably printed around 100 color pages for school projects. Prints were OK. But what the product details don't tell you are:🚩 If you don't use this printer almost daily or at least on weekly basis, this will generate periodic problem with its printer heads🚩 So, be prepared to face the dreaded B204 error (or some variation of it)🚩 B204 basically indicates a communication failure from printer head. But guess what - heads are almost 3 - 4K (yes, almost 40% of the printer cost).🚩 Over this period of 13 months (& print of ~100 pages), I came across this B204 issue 3 times. First time, I lodged a complaint over Canon app - where technician closed the ticket without any reason or communication.🚩 After some serious attempt a technician was finally put to work - who called and advised to put the printer on service mode and do a deep cleaning of print heads. Thankfully that trick worked and printer was back in action.🚩 The second time when this error happened I followed the same trick of rebooting post service mode and it worked again.🚩 Unfortunately now it is no longer working and since it's beyond 12 months, Canon technician asks for Rs. 649/- for visit. And I know they will eventually change the head and charge another 3-4K.So, what's the point in buying such a printer? Which can't even last a year. Really shame on Canon to even sell such a shabby product in the first place.Conclusion:🚩 If you have regular usage, this may be ok. But I will still recommend NOT to buy ink tank printers. Rather buy printers with cartridges (not ink tank).🚩 If you have infrequent usage, buy laser jets (well, yes - you will mostly be stuck with Monochrome for lower price band - but it's still worth it)I am going to dump this sob printer for good! Such a waste!!!Update March 2022:Had to pay 649/- for a service inspection and it was found that the PCB (the motherboard) went bad! 🤕 A replacement ordered and had my purse lightened by ~4K. Be cautious!!!

This printer has impressed me with its quality and reliability. Being a Japanese model, it boasts durable plastic, dependable build, and efficient performance. An added bonus is receiving two extra black ink bottles, which is a great value.The printing speed is commendable, and it easily outperforms the HP InkTank 589 in terms of speed. The print quality is solid, especially on glossy paper, and setting it up was incredibly easy – simply plug it in, wait a few minutes, and follow the on-screen instructions on the app or web.However, there are a couple of minor downsides: the printer makes a noticeable sound when transferring ink from the storage to the inkhead, and the black and white printouts are slightly lighter than those from the HP InkTank 589.Overall, it's a great printer with excellent functionality and ease of use. If you want some specific review, I'll be happy to share it.

My first use.Pros1. Easy to install2. Print Quality is good3. Scan is easy through the specified scanner app4. Copy Quality is good5. Compact and even easy to install for first-time printer usersCons:1. Wifi settings are a bit confusing for new users2. Initiating the print takes a few seconds3. Printer sound is a bit annoying, though that is expected4. The color print does not match the original; it is a bit pale.I will share more details as I use it for more prints.

Difficult to connect. Slow to print. Doesn’t show Wi-Fi search on iPhone, iPad and Samsung Fold Z. G3000 model not shown on Canon website when you scan the QR code. Better to avoid.
