Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wasn’t sure what to expect, as it has been quite some time since I had an inkjet, but so far this is better than I remembered or expected. To start off, the printer has a nice design. It’s a printer, so nothing crazy, but it will look good in your office or wherever it ends up. The build is average, about what you would expect. Solid. Lots of plastic. Set-up was fairly easy. Everyone’s path may be a little different depending on your needs but follow the instructions and you will get there. Once I got it up and running, I realized how much I missed having a color printer. Most of my printing is fine in black and white, but every so often I want something in color, and I have to say this thing does it very well. The colors are bright and even and just look good. Another thing I missed was the ability to print pictures. I have only had the chance to mess with a couple, but so far so good. Print times across the board were good. Not laser, but good. Other than the printing itself, there are a few other things I look for in a printer. Wireless is a must. This has it. It works well. You can send prints from a computer, laptop or phone. I won’t go back to wired. Ever. This may seem minor, but it has a big paper tray. I don’t print a ton, but enough, and given it’s tucked away I like being able to fill it up, forget it, and print. Just a nice convenience. In addition, you can use all sorts of sizes and form factors of paper. Lastly, it is an all-in-one. Another must. Most people probably don’t scan too much, but I am definitely not one of those people. I scan lots. I also do the occasional copy. You don’t realize you need this…until you do. Now for the part that may be the “main” selling point of this printer. The “MegaTank.” Honestly, for me, this is what will be the “make it or break it” for this printer. I went to laser some time ago, as I did not like dealing with ink, cartridges, the costs, all of it. The main draw here is, literally, large tanks of ink. Separate black as well as separate colors. Easy to fill and fill only what you need. Along with that idea, replacement ink and the advertised ink costs per print are very, very cheap. This is were the printer price comes into play. IF the ink plays out, and they do give you a LOT of prints with the printer, then the slightly higher cost of the printer is fine, as you will get great value in the long term with cheap ink. Ultimately, I have not had the printer long enough to know how this approach will play out, but it is a change in the industry, I am all for it, and I think it will work as advertised over time. Regardless, it prints, scans, and copies well, and is not tethered to wires. Depending on use case, I think this could be a great choice.

This is my first Canon inkjet printer and what I've seen so far is that it appears to be a pretty solid printer. This has two print heads a black and color print head. These get installed first and then the ink. This is where it loses a star for me. The ink comes in bottles and you pour them into the corresponding "reservoirs". You have to be extremely careful or you will get some ink spills. The problem I had was that when unscrewing the lid to the bottles of the ink, they would have this burst like effect and fill up the top portion of the container leaving a small amount of ink that could and did spill outside of where you need to fill the actual ink when tipping the bottle to fill the reservoir. Too early to tell how long the ink lasts but black is rated at something like 6000 pages. Ink replacement seems to be pretty economical also. I manually setup the printer for WiFi and its a bit clunky trying to type in your WiFi password on the front panel. This printer also has an ethernet port which is how I would recommend setting it up. This way it gives you a more consistant and reliable connection to your network. A nice touch for something that I haven't seen much of on an inkjet printer. Setup on the computer was a breeze, install software and follow the steps. Did this on mine but didn't have to my other computers. Windows 10 recognized the printer without any problem. Scanning is pretty basic compared to some printers I've used. There are two options that I've seen. "Scan to Local (USB) and scan to desktop computer. Software needs to be installed for scans to be recognized to be able to use the second option. All in all a pretty decent printer, time will tell how the ink actually lasts and where costs end up.

This printer is for those who are sick of the ink cartridge slow bleed of nickels and dimes that eventually results in an inoperable printer since you aren't using OEM ink OR you don't have ink on hand. Even if you DON'T print often, ink cartridges are designed to dry out and force you to purchase another set just to gain functionality for some printer manufacturers. It is sickening to see that your basic functions like scanning would be stripped because you ran out of ink. This is a SOLID printer solution that takes a no frills approach. You get cloud functionality, WiFi printing, network printer functionality, and scanning/copying functions all in a well built product. The ink racket is real and this is finally a way to break out of the endless ink cycle. Ink bottles truly are the way to go in this day and age. Yes, you pay more for the printer up front but that is by design since you will now be free from the "chips" in their cartridges. The sheer amount of pages you can print on the initial ink supply is crazy. It could last me years since I rarely print in color. Here is a quick run down of my experience and favorite features and negative talking points. The best way to describe this printer experience is simple and no-frills. This printer reminds me of my 2007 printer the Canon MP530 minus the fax machine and ADF. This MegaTank printer to me is the same thing but with ink tanks rather than ink cartridges. It offers easy functions with a few presses of the button. Each ink chamber is individually sealed to eliminate drying out. Easy refilling with ink bottles is my favorite selling point for this printer. It is a true workhorse that is crippled in the scanning department by the lack of ADF. It follows a subtle small business office design language with a subtle matte black plastic construction. The function and overall ease of use is the second major selling point. All major printer functions can be done with no more than 2 button presses. The down side here is the lack of a backlit screen and it is so small you need to squint to see it just right in bright lighting conditions. The instructions take forever to scroll across this little screen and at times can be frustrating with only two screen position angles. This printer is very loud until you enable the quiet function which then slowed page printer performance. You can hear the print head scratching the paper which can be annoying to some. It has a rather large footprint on my desk but I expected that being a workhorse AIO printer. Setup took like 30 mins for basic installation going from unboxing and test print page. It comes with 2 spare PGBK20 ink bottles in addition to a full printer of color and black. As I said earlier, there is no ADF so only a flatbed scanner option. There will be TIME WASTED flipping pages for something this large it should have ADF on top. Paper tray window is a plus so you can see if you need paper without pulling the tray to fill it to its 350-sheet capacity.

This is my first time using a printer with a refillable ink tank versus replaceable cartridges. According to Canon, I should get 6000+ sheets with a single set of ink bottles. If that is true, and after seeing how low the cost is to get additional bottles, this is a great advantage over pre-filled cartridge printers that only get 500-800 sheets. Of course, the printer carries a high price just to offer the advantage of being able to print so many sheets in a single fill-up. I do find many of the features to be standard and comparable to sub-$100 printers. During wifi setup on my computer, I got an error saying it was not compatible with 5ghz routers and I found that to be odd. However, I am still able to print which is good. For phones, I had to download the Canon app to get the print setup and it worked pretty quick. I have seen others comment that the printer turns off after a period of inactivity, which can be annoying when you try to print something and realize it is not on. I had this issue but did a quick search through the manual and found a way to turn off this default feature within the settings menu on the printer. For the price of the printer, I am disappointed that the screen is just monochrome and isn’t even backlit. To add more disappointment, the screen is small and you sometimes have to wait for it to scroll a message across to know what is it trying to tell you. I have seen super cheap printers have bigger color touchscreens, so I am not sure why it was not included on the PIXMA. With regards to printing photos, I found them to come out quite well for me. I want to point out that I don’t know if this is standard with other Canon printers, but photo paper is put into a different tray separate from the regular paper tray. I think the idea is to have both types of paper available at all times without having to swap them out of the same tray. The photos I printed came out with a lot more detail when I compared the exact same photos side-by-side to my other photo printer. The Canon PIXMA will be my new default photo printer from here on out. Overall, this printer may be worth the cost when you factor in its high initial investment but low ink costs in the long-term. With a mix of positives and negatives and depending on your expected usage, this may be a great choice for some but a pass for others.

I’ve had nothing but issues with this. Not even a year and I’m buying a new one

Pretty good, simple printer. I like that it goes a long time on the supplied ink. My old printer used expensive ink inserts. I do forget to pop the front screen up. My old one did it on it's own.

So far I am SO happy with this All-In-One printer. From unpacking to first print took about 45 minutes. But it was easy. Comes with very well detailed instruction step by step on what and how to take the shipping tape off and fill each ink tank and install the printing heads. Then I setup the software on a windows PC and then on a MacBook. Both went flawless with no issues at all. They call this printer MegaTank for a good reason. They say it can print up to 6,000 black or 7,700 color sheets. i don't have that much stuff to print yet so I haven't put that to the test yet. But it came with 3 yes three full bottles of black ink so that's 18,000 black and white prints.That's just crazy to me. I shouldn't need black ink for a year or more. And when I do it's only $18 for black and $12 each for the three colors you need. That's not bad at all. I found the software easy to use. If your like me and just leave your printer on 24/7 for the convenience of printing any thing at any time you will want to turn off the auto power off option. By default the printer will full power off after 240 minutes of no use. Scanning was easy. But I don't wish it had a paper feeder for scanning multiple pages. And on the other hand it's nice to have plan paper in the bottom tray and photo paper in the back tray. And I was shocked at how good of quality this thing can print photos. I printed off some 5x7's from our wedding that were high res pictures and they looked better than the last group of photos we got from Walgreens. Again I did use high end photo paper and the pictures were high resolution. All in all this is a great All-In-One scanner/copier/printer. And is easy to use with all PC,Mac,Iphone and android.

I was not sure about a printer that had a bottle of ink that had to be poured into the printer. But it turned out not to be a problem. The setup was easy and was printing in minutes via usb connection. The setup on my phone not as easy, but finally got it to work. The printing is a little touchy, have wasted multiple sheets to get one copy to print correctly. I am not sure if that is because I am trying to use the rear paper access or not. I would recommend trying it on plain paper before using photo paper. I do like the crispness of the colors and the depth of field.

Whats in the box: typical printer in a box stuff, but the thing that sticks out is a FULL set of ink (bottles in this case). Most printers include "setup" amount of ink, which requires buying more ink quite quickly. Not in this case. Setup: What I expected with a Canon printer. Easy peasy. The part I have to get used to is adding the ink to the tanks. No quick easy popping in and out of ink cartridges. Filling up the ink can be spill free if you are careful and take your time. Hurry at all and you are going to get ink everywhere. Other than that, it is easy to set up, and the software works well. Use: Its a printer that can scan, so that is what you use it for. But, with that said, it does this all very well. You can also use Alexa to print, but I do not own any Alexa devices so I couldn't test that out. Printer is quick to print, and doesn't play the "song of its people" for 10 minutes before it prints like some other printers do. Build quality: Feels a bit cheap in areas, so I'm hoping that it can last. Also, I'm not sure about the ink tanks. I feel like its almost a gimmick, I'm a bit worried about the ink drying out in the tanks, unless you print a fortune 500 company worth of documents a day, the ink will last roughly a year I'm guessing, so I'm not sure if it will stay "liquid". Cons: Not many. The screen is a bit small, but honestly how often do you look at the fancy color screens on printers anyway? Stand alone use is a bit difficult because of it though. I always am using a computer to print or scan though. There is no ADF for the scanner, so its the flatbed only. Overall: Get this printer, the pro's outweigh the cons, and the price is right.

I used many printers so far, my current printer also Canon. Lets come to this new printer. Printer comes with everything nothing missed. Installation is so easy and quick, you do not need any instructions to setup until and unless you are new to wireless printers, but it comes with instruction setup to follow which very easy to follow and setup. Wire-less connection to printer works great and prints well. I like the printer speed which is what my current printer is lagging. you will like printer speed, prints fast. Auto double sided printing, no worries here. You can feed enough papers. If you are buying it for household purpose you can just close and buy it, if you want it for your office use you have to check how you use and how many people use it. I would recommend it for small size offices like few staff, may be not good for heavy commercial use. Scanning is perfect no issues. you can print from your phone i use iPhone i am sure it works for other phones as well, it is quick and fast. Color quality is very good. It prints photo. So no quality issues. Just one general feedback this is not only for this canon product, applies to other printer versions too, led screen quality not great, not user friendly readable you have to see closely and pay attention to check. of course only high end products have clear visibility ones, it is ok. but i just want to mention it. One thing is sure Image quality is equal to high end office printers no doubt. I am sure you will love the product and you will not be disappointed.

Ez set up. Good quality. Print speed is a little slower than I would like. Good product for the money.

I will update this later as I use the printer more, but so far: setup was super easy, connecting it to my PC was smooth, and the print quality is pretty good. I've been testing it on my digital art that isn't in CMYK format on copy paper just for tests and the only thing i noticed is that, with the cricut print & cut prompt using the system pop up, that there are small, black, horizontal bands across the artwork. I changed some settings and the banding went away so it may take some fiddling but the overall quality is very good after that!

I bought this printer on Wednesday, and it was delivered to my door at 2:00 p.m. Friday. I unboxed the printer, followed the instructions on getting it set up. Printer heads for the black and colors was easy once I viewed the video. Ink was easy to empty into the tanks without any spillage. Set up was harder than usual. I tried to use Canons easy set up, but it was giving me fatal errors. Easiest way is to go to the main Canon website and look for drivers. Enter the model, click on the first driver to download, and then go to setup printer in Mac. Make sure you have depressed the internet icon on the printer and will appear as a network on your wifi list, then search for the printer. Once the Mac finds the printer, it connects fast. After that I was able to connect it to my MacMini, iPad Pro, and iPhone. The printer prints photos on copy paper especially well, and I cannot wait to try it out on photo paper. It is worth the money!

So far so good, I had 3 crap out in 2 years and it's for home use. I will see how lone it last. You won't to know if I would recommend this item to someone. I won't to see if this is any better then the last 3. One can only hope.

This is my first Tank based printer and i can tell you after spending thousands on ink I am never going back. First, at a cheap $20 per black ink for thousands of prints it is a no brainer for the capital cost of the actual printer. The setup of wireless was a little annoying but I got it working, the flow just isn't as easy as they try to make it. Once it is setup on your network though it is simple to add more computers to see the printer The print quality is superb and it is a pretty quiet printer with the speed it produces prints at. There are settings to adjust the density of the color, or darkness, I should say. Color is accurate and vibrant. When printing on photo paper the quality is pretty impressive as well. Overall this is a great printer for the work at home employee or the student in college or high school. Ink is cheap, and lasts much longer than your standard packs you usually order. I will never return to non-tank based printers after the experience I have had.

Finally! A printer without overpriced and confusing part number cartridges. This printer does everything an all-in-one should do without those costly annoying ink cartridges. I can't tell you how many times I have bought a new printer because it was cheaper than buying ink for the one I was using at the time. Overall I like this printer, but it does have some things I do not like. First is the scanner lid. It's flimsy and feels cheap. I don't care to have my $300 dollar printer feel cheap. Also, the LCD screen is basic bare bones. Yes you can navigate the menu's, but it's basic, one color, and no backlight. For the price they are asking for this, I would expect a bit more than that. This printer sort of redeems itself with the bulk ink bins. I have two kids and a wife in college, and they sure do go through a lot of black ink. Now it's easy to just pour some in and go. Even the replacement OEM bottle's are fairly cheap. At the time of writing this, black is $18 ea, and the individual colors are $12 ea.

Printer was easy to set up and prints faster than expected. Document printing is satisfactory; however, photo printing is very disappointing. I was using a Canon PIXMA MX922 and all aspects of the printer were great. The prints on the G6020 are faded in appearance, colors are not true, and the edges of items in the print are not well defined. I have tried all types of print paper, realigned the heads,and cleaned the heads twice but still have poor results on printing photos. The color on the realignment pages that are printed are not vivid and the black seems more gray. Would not recommend this printer for printing photos.

When unpacking be sure to remove the orange plastic piece behind the print head compartments. Follow the instructions for setup with a MAC. Rotate the control panel at least one click. Was a bit finicky connecting to wifi, Some videos on youtube showed using the link button on the control panel. The instructions did not show to use the link button but I did press it for about 3 seconds and the printer did link after a few minutes so be patient. IMPORTANT the control panel must be rotated up at least one click or there is an error message and no printing. Set up was fairly straight forward, just be patience. Double sided printing works but is slow. The copy button is the top button of the row of 3 buttons on the left. When adding the ink you may need to tilt the bottle a tiny bit to prevent air lock. There are some helpful youtube videos for this printer.

So far the ink is good last for more printing , assembly is straight forward

Pros: - No more expensive ink cartridges!! - Easy to setup and get ready - About 6,000 pages per black ink bottle - About 7,700 pages from the three colors - Mobile app support for printing Cons: - Scans only one page at a time --Setup-- Setting up the PIXMA G6020 is very easy and straightforward. After removing all the tape that holds parts together for shipment, you just need to install the color and B&W print heads, fill up the ink chambers, and then plug in the power cable. You can either setup your printer for wireless network printing (which is really convenient for printing from your phone) or use a USB printer cable if your G6020 is going to be sitting on your desk next to your PC. After loading paper into the printer, it will print out two test pages. This is just to ensure that everything is working correctly. You can even print out a test page with the network settings as well. --Performance-- The G6020 is much quieter than my previous printer, which is great. It prints out pages at a typical speed for consumer printers and everything comes out looking great. The paper tray even has a small, clear window so you can see how much paper is left at all times. My only complaint about the G6020 is when it comes to scanning documents: it can only manually scan one page at a time. Thankfully it scans quite quickly, and combined with the Canon printer software from their website, you can scan multiple pages (one at a time) and have all of them placed in the same PDF. --Maintenance-- Canon claims that with the G6020 you can get up to 6,000 pages from one bottle of blank ink, and up to 7,700 pages from the three colored bottles (I obviously haven't tested this claim yet). So depending on how much printing you do at home, you shouldn't need to buy bottles of ink too often. When you do need to refill the ink chambers, the bottles are offered from Canon's website and from Best Buy. It's MUCH more convenient and efficient than the old ink cartridges (please recycle the old bottles though). --Bottom Line-- I truly hated my previous printers due to constantly having problems with ink cartridge "issues" (seriously, how does a printer suddenly not recognize it's own brand of cartridge after 2 weeks of use?!?!), so my faith in consumer printers has been restored with the ability to just buy bottles of ink when needed! If you're looking for a new printer, I HIGHLY recommend looking at the Canon PIXMA G6020. You pay more upfront for the printer, but you'll save money in the longrun by buying bottles over expensive cartridges.
