Canon MegaTank PIXMA G6020 All-In-One, Wireless Color Inkjet Printer for Home Office Use

I purchased this Canon PIXMA G6020 MegaTank printer knowing exactly what I was getting. I have owned the very same printer for over 3 years,. It has, and still does, perform perfectly. This printer isn't replacing the other one. I needed this new printer because it seemed like everyone in our home needs to print things when someone else needs to too. This new printer will solve that problem. It will also provide the great results we've become accustomed to. It produces great prints of photos, and documents, without costing a small fortune in ink. We've consistently printed over 5000 sheets before needing to purchase more ink, and the cost of that ink is extremely inexpensive compared to the ink cartridge printers we've owned in the past. It's also very simple to add new ink to the tanks. The bottles won't release the ink until they are placed on the refill ports on the printer, and it only takes a few seconds for the ink to transfer from the bottles to the tanks. I'll list some Pro's and Con's below. Pro's: 1- Extremely low cost prints. 2- Easy to setup and operate. 3- Included software CD includes helpful editing applications. 4- Wireless capability 5- Prints from a paper cartridge, and has a rear feed option for thicker cardstock. 6- Prints great photos. 7- Scans great photos. 8- Prints documents %26 photos quickly. 9- Printer heads are replaceable, and easy to remove/install. (Haven't needed to, but the instructions are simple). 10- Doesn't take up a lot of space. 11- Canon tech support is a phone call away, and free during the warranty period. 12- The built-in display folds out to make it more visible, and folds in to keep it out of the way when the printer isn't being used. Con's: 1- It wasn't free.

I greatly like this printer overall; the simple, functional design much is to my liking. I bought G6020 to replace my aged Canon ip6700D six-ink printer that was wearing out. I mostly print documents now (fewer photographs than with the ip6700D) and chose this Mega Tank printer for its ink and paper capacity. I found It easy to setup and have had no problem connecting my desktop, tablet, and smartphone to it via my home WiFi network. My only complaints: the small digital information panel is not lighted...and the front control panel, which needs to be opened out for the printer to function, too easily returns to the closed position when the various buttons and pressed; I need to hold open the front panel with one hand and operate the buttons with the other hand. This is a bit annoying but not a game-changer for me as most all of the printer functions can be operated using the printer's software.
