Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Cost-Effective MegaTank System: The refillable ink tanks offer exceptional longevity and significantly lower operating costs compared to traditional cartridges, with users reporting they can print thousands of pages before needing a refill.
  • High-Quality Print Output: The printer produces sharp, professional-looking text and vibrant colors that many reviewers noted approach laser-quality, making it excellent for both business documents and high-resolution photos.
  • Intuitive Touchscreen Setup: Most users found the initial installation process fast and simple, thanks to a responsive color touchscreen that provides clear, step-by-step prompts for filling ink and aligning print heads.

Cons

  • Unreliable Wireless Connectivity: A recurring issue among reviewers is the printer's tendency to lose its Wi-Fi connection, particularly on the 2.4GHz band, leading to 'printer not found' errors and difficulty printing from mobile devices.
  • No Automatic Document Feeder (ADF): Several users were disappointed to find the machine lacks an ADF, meaning multi-page documents must be scanned or copied manually one sheet at a time, which is time-consuming for office tasks.
  • Software and App Limitations: Some customers found the Canon Print app and desktop software difficult to navigate, noting compatibility issues with older operating systems and a lack of advanced scanning destination settings.

    The prints on photo paper are amazingly good. The set-up was very easy and straight forward. I was able to print from my phone and from my PC wirelessly. The configuration was very simple. I am not sure what I think of the bottle’s vs the ink yet. After a few refills we will see. I am hoping there is a more even usage on the ink.

  2. Not easy at all

    Ok, so plugging it in, turning it on … simple. However if you want to use it, call your IT people. I’m not stupid by far but I’m also not techie. It took me several hours to set this up to use all
    Its features. Specifically, direct email from the devise itself. I called cannon support and they did not help at all.. waste of time.
    I ended up calling my company IT guys and after an hour on the phone, found out direct email will not work unless you have and use outlook. When it prints, it looks nice. But that is also an issue. It will not let me print an open document from email. I have to download it first, save it then print it.
    When I print from my iPhone, some docs will print, but other docs I try to print I get a message that printer is not responding.
    I’ve had this 2 days and paid $300 for it. I’m seriously thinking of returning it. I’m going to try again to make sure it’s not user error before packing it back up.

  3. Easy Set-up!

    We ordered this printer to connect to our laptops and phones when we are in our winter home. It’s probably a bit bigger than we need since we’re only there for part of the year, but the convenience of ink refills and having wireless printing whenever we need it is well worth the space it takes in our southern tiny home. The connection to all our devices is extremely easy to do as the printer mostly connects effortlessly. Price comparison to all the big box stores makes this printer a no brainer.

  4. Amazing printer with very simply upkeep

    This Canon printer came packaged very well so nothing was damaged during shipping. Installation is very simple and the instructions are easy to follow. The main reason I wanted this was because of the megatank and the ability to manually fill the ink. This is a well thought out method because it all but eliminates spilling ink when added to the tank. Once I had everything unboxed and the ink filled, installing this on Windows 11 was a simple as letting the app do all the work.

    The print quality is outstanding for the price which outs this printer in league with more expensive printers. The colors are vivid and the blacks are not overpowering.

    Setting this up on my iPhone 13 Pro Max was as simple as downloading the app. Everything works with no issues.

    Overall, I really like this printer. The print speed is better than I expected, color documents are clear with no blurred or runny looking text, printing small fonts is excellent because of the clarity of the print, and photo printing looks awesome.

    I am very impressed and speechless with this printer’s quality. This printer goes above and beyond anything I have ever used before. Crisp, clear black and white copies, vibrant color copies. Printing pictures from this machine looks like it was printed from professional equipment, all the while using very little ink. MUST HAVE PRINTER. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
    I have printed picture which is attached here.

  8. Better than my Epson

    I seem to have my best luck with my Canon printers as I went previously from a Canon primxa cartridge printer to a Epson tank, which I wasn’t in love with the quality of printing from it and went back to my old printer. This tank printer by Canon definitely has better quality images when it comes to printing. While Epson uses 6 bottles of ink, this is 4 bottles and much easier to setup.

    My printer before this one was another brand, and it cost a couple more hundred dollars. This one has a nicer print quality without all the issues. Setup was a breeze. It walks you through everything. I had no issues at all. It isn’t loud, and I don’t even have the quiet setting on. It works from my phone and pc without any problems. The pc had more print options as far as sizes, but my phone works well with a lot of variety, too. It prints quickly even at the highest quality setting. I’ve loved this printer a lot so far. I will update if anything arises.

    Setting up the printer was fairly straightforward. I had to mess with the wifi a bit, but it worked fine in the end. Test pages printed quickly with good coloring. Not sure how long the inkwells will last, but time will tell.
