Canon PIXMA MegaTank G1010 Single Function Ink Tank Colour Printer

See i purchased this canon G1010 for home use and it is the best for it. If you really want a single function printer on which you can rely, this is that. See printing differs as you change the mode of printing and canon also gives you free ink bottles to you so actually the printer only costs you between Rs.5500-6000 and the product support is excellent. It may not have the scan and print facility as the all in one printers has but you can use Adobe Scan for a much better AI powered scans. It also have the feature of manual duplex printing. One of the best features I liked in it that you can print via your smartphones also using USB mode in printhand, bolo print or print share like apps.... Actually I really liked this printer as it really valued my money....

Best product for home its more than 2 years and it is working fine till now just refill ink once in two years . next time i will order canon printer with scanner if you have budget then go for canon inktank printer all in one. I have used inkjet printer in the past and they are very costly for home like replacing cartidages is a headache which prints only 60 80 pages.

Print quality is excellent even comparable to lab quality I would say...Have taken about 30 4x6 photo prints on day 1 and all have come out great. Colours look vivid and details are sharp using glossy photo paper (fullcolors brand). Have attached a shot of few of the photos Ink filling was easy enough. Ran the alignment test right away after setup and made the adjustments before printing stuff. Got this instead of the Epson L130 because of the removable print heads which should be helpful in case of future trouble. So far so good lets see, If it is lasts 4-5 years trouble free it would be superb value for money.

Literally the best printer in this range, performance with no hitch. One thing is that, you have to print on frequent intervals, dont let the printer sit. If you let the printer sit, you have to use ink flush. In short, was never stuck with this printer. It works like a charm always.

The ink in either of the 3 pipes (C,M,Y) periodically stops reaching the print head and that color would stop appearing on color prints, making them discolored due to absence of one color. Then to correct this problem you either call the customer service or yourself run "Ink Flush", either option wastes hell lot of ink. Almost 10-20% of all ink is wasted in one "ink flush" run. Similarly, the customer care representative would also waste similar amount of ink but he would claim that he did his best by using injections and not running ink flush. In my 20 day usage, this problem has already occured twice, wasting almost 30% percent of the color inks. Its such a disappointment. Customer care is of no help as they come and waste your own ink. Regarding print quality and ink consumption on prints, it is fine.

One of the best printer available at your budget. Super easy to install, good quality prints and descent speed of prints. At this price it's tough to get a better option. Only problem is it makes lots of robotic noises while you operate it. Khatak khutuk multiple times. I suppose that's how it's supposed to be working. If u wish to use black and white prints than this can easily give you one print at about 20-30 Paisa .

All best

I think overall a very good product at this price range. The ink consumption is fairly good. The only two minute cons are prints very slow, and some colours are not printed upto the mark even with best quality and paper. But I think this what we get at this range.
