Canon PIXMA MegaTank G3000 All in One WiFi Inktank Colour Printer with 2 Additional Black Ink Bottles for Home and Office

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 11/11/19 I 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.

I purchased the Canon G3000 for my small business needs (Pragati Tuition Classes) and for high-volume printing for my MBA studies, and the printer itself is a fantastic, low-cost solution. Product Performance (5/5): The MegaTank system is exactly what I needed. The cost per page is incredibly low, the Wi-Fi setup was smooth from my laptop, and the print quality is sharp for both text documents and photos. The generous amount of ink included is huge value. I am very happy with the machine's performance and versatility (Print, Scan, Copy). Delivery & Packaging (1/5): This is a critical flaw. The printer box arrived dented, worn, and completely unprotected, with no external brown box, bubble wrap, or plastic seal to secure it during transit. For an ink tank printer which must be kept upright, this is unacceptable and poses a huge risk of internal damage or ink leakage. Thankfully, after unboxing and inspection (which I filmed), the internal foam protected the printer, and the device appears physically undamaged. Verdict: I highly recommend the Canon PIXMA G3000 for anyone needing high-volume, low-cost printing. However, Amazon/Seller MUST improve the logistics and packaging standards for such sensitive electronics. The product survived transport this time, but the seller is risking significant damage and returns due to unprotected shipping.

Writing this review after Four Years of buying this printer. Pros: Very Very easy to install both hardware and software Print Quality is good in its class Even after four years still using the same print cartages that came with the printer You 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 year Cannon Image Garden software is extremely powerful if you have placed let say for different pics at the same time for scanning, the software has a feature to club them into one , this was very useful for me to make collage. Cannon Mobile print application is very useful Print speed is best in its class Easy to perform printer auto clean with software Lot 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 the pipes and you will have to reset the printer and this will lead to ink wastage as the printer will realign during the reset process and will circulate the ink flow again in all the pipes and print heads This is a natural phenomenon with all inkjet printers so cannot be considered as a direct Cons in its real 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.
