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.

Writing this review after just 13 months of purchasing this printer. Over these 13 months I probably printed around 100 color pages for school projects. Prints were OK. But what the product details don't tell you are: 🚩 If you don't use this printer almost daily or at least on weekly basis, this will generate periodic problem with its printer heads 🚩 So, be prepared to face the dreaded B204 error (or some variation of it) 🚩 B204 basically indicates a communication failure from printer head. But guess what - heads are almost 3 - 4K (yes, almost 40% of the printer cost). 🚩 Over this period of 13 months (& print of ~100 pages), I came across this B204 issue 3 times. First time, I lodged a complaint over Canon app - where technician closed the ticket without any reason or communication. 🚩 After some serious attempt a technician was finally put to work - who called and advised to put the printer on service mode and do a deep cleaning of print heads. Thankfully that trick worked and printer was back in action. 🚩 The second time when this error happened I followed the same trick of rebooting post service mode and it worked again. 🚩 Unfortunately now it is no longer working and since it's beyond 12 months, Canon technician asks for Rs. 649/- for visit. And I know they will eventually change the head and charge another 3-4K. So, what's the point in buying such a printer? Which can't even last a year. Really shame on Canon to even sell such a shabby product in the first place. Conclusion: 🚩 If you have regular usage, this may be ok. But I will still recommend NOT to buy ink tank printers. Rather buy printers with cartridges (not ink tank). 🚩 If you have infrequent usage, buy laser jets (well, yes - you will mostly be stuck with Monochrome for lower price band - but it's still worth it) I am going to dump this sob printer for good! Such a waste!!! Update March 2022: Had to pay 649/- for a service inspection and it was found that the PCB (the motherboard) went bad! 🤕 A replacement ordered and had my purse lightened by ~4K. Be cautious!!!

Good quality print and working. I write review after 6 months used.

I am very happy with this Canon PIXMA G3000 printer. It prints fast and the quality is very clear. The WiFi feature is easy to use and helpful. I can print from my phone and laptop without any wire. The ink lasts long and I got two extra black ink bottles, which is great. It is perfect for both home and office use. Setup was simple and everything works well. I strongly recommend this printer to everyone.

The setup is complex and not straight forward especially for Mac book users to configure from laptop.Similar experience to configure Android mobile , it took me over 1 hours to get it to print the test page from Mac Book and mobile via the wifi wireless network option. USB is fairly simple and straight forward ,i did this first to ensure Desktop is setup to test the printer and check its functions Also , there is a yellow holder inside ensure you remove that from the printer head holders so that it does not move during shipping .After removing that you can insert the printer heads into place . Also , after filling the inks ,the first start up took almost 10 minutes where it pulls the print ink to fill the tubes feeding into print head and only then your first test print will come so do not worry that it's taking time on first startup . Ensure you set aside 1 to 2 hours to set this printer up example weekends .

Few points of my experience can make your mind. Been using it since an year and its great in print quality and advanced features. But.... Pros - 1. Great color prints... 2. Low cost printing... 3. You can give print out directly from your mobile at just a touch/click via wifi. Just install Canon print app in your smartphone Cons - 1. During lockdown , i didn't used it as it was kept in my office which costed me 3400 Rupees for head change. Reason - you'll have to print atleast a page daily without any gap. I contacted service support and they informed me now. Earlier call centre employees told me about printing atleast once in 7 days. So if u have less usage , laser printers will be better. 2. Keeps sounding frequently without any reason many a times like as if you have given a print 3. Slower printing speed compared to laser printers... 4. Customer support is ok but i feel angry they didn't told me earlier when i asked them clearly. Service executive who came to install it was a kind of very rude person. Didn't expected it from Canon like multinational brand. Believe me Ink tank printers (this one) is far better than cheap inkjet printers but do keep it in mind about Cons above. Choose wisely between Inktank and laserjet printers according to your usage. If u need high quality, low printing cost and advanced wireless printer at very affordable price , order it right now. Its at great discount on amazon and usually is always at great prices during every great indian festival sale. Easy to install in windows 7 or higher. For XP you will need service pack 3.Mobile app is world class...!
