I should have gotten this a long time ago. This has got to be the easiest printer to setup, and get going. The fact that the ink cost so much less than my previous printers ink, I’m upset I did not know about this one sooner. It’s not the biggest printer, but also not the smallest either. It can fit in most small offices, If you print a lot, grab this one. It’s literally a tank. Goes and goes, and you will not break the bank when it’s time to refill. Speaking of refilling, they make it way to easy for you to see when it’s time to do so. Anyone can use this one.

If you have a small business, getting a great printer that's easy to set up is definitely important. Enter the Canon PIXMA MegaTank G5020. Printing out page after page with this solid machine won't be an issue. Per the specs, this printer is definitely fast with the same quality of output of a laser printer (paper-dependent; if you want to print pictures, you'll need to use the right stock). Regarding toner, in this printer's case, you will be using bottles of ink. In spite of the fact that you do have to be careful to not get the liquid anywhere, Canon has devised a straightforward process whereby you have to turn the ink bottle upside down and have it fully inserted into the top of the specific inkwell before the ink is actually dispensed. I'm still seeing how long the ink will last in this configuration versus a cartridge config. As far as setup is concerned, I found it a bit odd that Canon included a CD for setup -- there aren't many PCs or MacBook Pros that include CD readers anymore. Instead, I stepped through the very simple LCD menu located on the printer's front panel to get the printer connected to WiFi, check for firmware updates, and print a test page/align the printer head. No sweat on that part. All in all, the Canon G5020 is a nice printer. It definitely "takes charge" in terms of amount of desk space it requires, but it does print with professional quality and speed.

This has replaced a 3 year old large Epson 3 in 1 and I couldn't be happier. Setup is a breeze, it's smaller footprint makes it easier to place and looks a lot nicer than your traditional printer. Quality of the prints on the default settings look great! The speed is also awesome but the best thing is just how little Ink it's uses. It's so good at not wasting ink. That alone makes this a worthwhile purchase. This is the best printer we have ever owned and I will never consider anything else going forward.

This would be an awesome printer, except Canon has made it's waste ink sponge a part that is a) not easily accessible b) not available for purchase c) something that requires taking it to a "repair center" (spoiler: there are no repair centers that do this work). The best fix is to get your tools out and buy a product that diverts the waste ink to a receptacle outside of the machine, so spend another $100 and 4 hours of your time, if you're handy, to DIY that. Forced obsolescence should be a crime.

I will never buy a canon printer ever again they are crap it loose wifi connection to easily it let u print once then it would loose wifi and can't printer again and u have turn on and off I had worse experience with canon

The moment the warranty expired it no longer works, just like that, I effectively use 13% of the ink before this piece of junk stopped working, never again canon, NEVER.
