Canon PIXMA G6020 All-in-One Supertank Wireless (Megatank) Printer, Copier and Scan with Mobile Printing, Black, Works with AlexaEPEAT

Have had several Canon Printer products over the years, also Brother, HP, IBM, Printers, in both business and personal applications.Toner was the preferred media for printing, and ink jets weren't up to par for fast or clean printing, and were expensive to run large volumes.This printer changed my mind. I obtained this for SOHO, and due to it's ability to just refill the tank instead of purchasing expensive cartridges of either toner or ink jet (the printers were always cheap because the brains of the printer was really in the cartridge!).Over the years we've printed thousands upon thousands of pages, quickly and efficiently using this printer. I keep my Macs/iPhone in color mode, and get what I want, even if it's a B/W page...the printer doesn't waste color dye to print.Consumption has been extremely low, and the big tank for black ink is great. Even color printing, the color tanks have only needed filling once in a while...(your mileage may vary).I've not had any issues using this as an air printer or network printer. Set up and function is on par with most vague menu's and html page setups of all printers...they're all lacking, but this one is pretty straightforward.It maintains a signal well on wifi, but also has a cat 5 jack. The scanner feature works well, and offers the same features as most in this price point, and the scan quality is good when adjusted for things like contrast, etc.The noise level is very quiet, the pages are printed fast and dry. It's lasted longer than any other printer I've used, as most get obsolete or show their age after 3 or 4 years. This one appears to have another 4-5 years left at soonest.My only complaints:-LCD panel is hard to read in low-light, it needs a backlight. It is adjustable to get out of the way if it's used as a desk top. It's lightweight and easy to position on any desk or stand.-Paper tray capacity is small, and the way it holds paper is rather loose and not a clean stack...although it's never seemed to matter, it grabs a sheet easily.An excellent asset for our needs, and it produces high quality crisp and dry printing, in two sided or single sided printing (400 page tax returns!)The photo quality is also excellent, printing on glossy or matte, and it can handle postcards and envelopes easily in its rear feed. It also produces high quality business cards on card stock.Filling is easy, the hardest part is getting the bottles open without splattering something pulling the foil seals off...but filling the tank is mess free. The printer lets you know when it needs attention, and the clear window tanks are easy to read at a glance as well.To date, I've had zero issues with misfeeds, paper jams (really? NO paper jams??? yeah, none) or any streaking or over inking of pages. The print head is laser printer quality in an ink jet.I waited to review this for a while, since it's hard to get behind any printers that are either expensive up front, or run up the costs down the road. We've used OEM dye/ink, and have also had good luck with aftermarket inks.Hope this was helpful to you...

I purchased this printer for a project I’m working on for my wife, where I plan to print around 600 photos for three photo albums of our son, spanning from birth to age 3. Here are my initial impressions after one day of use:**Neutral:** This is a full-sized printer. Initially, I had looked at a model designed specifically for 4x6 photos, but I opted for this all-in-one printer without realizing its larger size. This is entirely my own oversight.**Pro:** The setup process was incredibly straightforward. After removing a few pieces of tape and a single plastic cover, I installed the printer heads, filled the ink tanks, plugged in the device, powered it on, and connected it to my preferred device (PC or phone). The printer then ran a test print to prime the ink through the head, and the setup was complete. The entire process was quick and easy.**Neutral:** You will need paper for setup. Since my primary use is photo printing, I didn’t purchase A4 paper, but at least two sheets are required for setup. This isn’t a major issue, as most users will likely be buying the printer for multifunction use. In my case, I used two sheets of paper I had on hand from a previous work onboarding, so it wasn’t an inconvenience.**Pro:** The ink tanks are located at the front of the printer, which is a convenient feature. You can easily monitor the ink levels, which is extremely helpful.**Pro:** The accompanying app is very user-friendly. Once you initiate a print job, you can continue using your phone for other tasks without being tethered to the app.**Neutral:** I have printed 25 photos so far, and they have a distinctive "at-home print" quality. Personally, I prefer this, as the photos are vibrant and clear, exactly as they appear on my phone. However, it’s clear they were printed at home, which some users may not prefer. This does not detract from the printer’s performance, which produces excellent results.**Neutral:** It’s important to pay attention to the orientation of the photos you are printing, especially if you plan to print multiple photos at once (up to 20). Ensure each photo is cropped or rotated as desired before printing. By default, the photos will print in the orientation in which they were taken on your phone. I had two out of the 25 prints where the focus of the image was cropped out because I didn't verify the settings beforehand. Simply make sure the photos are correctly formatted before printing, adjusting the crop, rotation, or zoom as needed.Pro: The button hub and screen are mounted on a hinge, which provides great flexibility. This design allows for easy viewing and access when needed, but you can also leave it down if your operational needs require a more compact setup. This thoughtful feature enhances both usability and convenience.Overall, after just one day of use and 25 photos printed, I am very satisfied with this printer. It’s easy to use and provides great results. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple home printer. After completing the full 600 prints and using the printer for a longer period, I will update this review to discuss ink usage, maintenance, and any additional insights I may have. As of now, I am very pleased with its performance. This review has been brought to you in part by ChatGPT used to clean it up however the review is completely me. I wanted to add this for a level of honesty.
