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.

Printer: It's meant for regular and perhaps heavy use. The amount of ink provided wouldn't be utilised even in many years with occasional use. It stopped working after about two and half years, perhaps because of low use (ink dried in the line and/or printer head). I would suggest to use the printer head cleaning software option once every few months if you are not using it regularly, to avoid having printer issues due to clogged lines due to dried ink. It doesn't print on both sides of the pages on its own. You have to print one page then feed it again manually if you want to print on both the sides, which is cumbersome. So, consider a printer with feature of duplex printing if you intend to print large no. of pages on regular basis, to avoid wasting paper by leaving one side unused. Photo printing: I tried it only for a few photos. Quality seems okay but not great. But I am no expert on this and I don't have much experience with photo printing at home. Scanner: it's good, no complaint about resolution/performance. However, S/w is not very user friendly. If the document is faded, it's difficult to choose the best mode from many scan modes available. Photocopier: works well - both colour and black & White modes. OnsiteGo Warranty (purchased along with printer) I had taken extended warranty for 2 years from OnsiteGo which repaired it free of any charges. Their service was very smooth and convenient as they picked it and delivered to my home after a day or two. So, it was a quick and convenient service. The only issue I came across with OnsiteGo is that their pick up guy didn't have any Identity card or authorisation letter from the company, so it was difficult to ascertain the authenticity of the service person whlle allowing him to take the printer away. It caused some inconvenience but I handed over the unit after some phone calls and email exchanges with the support team. I would recommend to go for OnsiteGo warranty particularly for items like printers, so that you get door step service in case of need. Overall, it was good experience with them.

Product is very good. Printing is fast and clear. Running smoothly so far. No lags, no jam. Very fast printing. Picture quality of print is very premium. Product is also looking very premium look wise.

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.

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

Good product

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...!
