Maximise Productivity


For those in need of a cost-efficient printing solution that can drive productivity, this series can produce 6,0001 pages from a single black ink bottle and print 26 per cent more in economy mode2. For printing in colour, the MegaTank devices offer an impressive page yield of up to 7,700[1] pages from a set of colour ink bottles, a 700-page increase on previous models. The two high-speed models in the range, PIXMA G3460 and PIXMA G2460 can deliver deadline beating speeds of 10.8 ipm for black printing and 6.0 ipm for colour. Reliable and quick printing means users can focus their time and energy on other creative outputs, printing with confidence to deliver high-quality prints in impressive volumes. Producing sharp, crisp prints, this range can satisfy a versatile mix of requirements, from those working from home who may need to print long, text-heavy documents, to those embracing home crafts with their families.


Less Downtime


A user replaceable maintenance cartridge reduces printer downtime, ensuring a seamless workflow and excellent maintainability. With integrated front-facing ink tanks, it’s quick and easy to determine ink levels. Users can simply check the level of the maintenance cartridge on the LCD screen3 or through the Canon PRINT App (iOS/Android), available for the PIXMA G3460 and PIXMA G3420 models.


Enhanced Compatibility


With new and improved key type bottles, it has never been easier to refill ink tanks. Simply insert the bottle into the corresponding tank and it fills itself, automatically stopping when full. With all multi-function models, the 2-line LCD display4 ensures greater ease of use, while the auto power ON/OFF function saves both time and energy.


The Wi-Fi enabled PIXMA G3460 and PIXMA G3420 models allow users to connect effortlessly, thanks to compatibility with Apple AirPrint and Mopria for Android, as well as the Canon PRINT app, for printing from your smart device. In addition, for those looking for creative inspiration, Canon’s Creative Park allows users to unleash their inner artist by making 3D paper crafts, as well as personalised cards.


Diverse Media Support


For people running a small business from home or the office, the Canon PIXMA G-Series MegaTank printers are capable of printing banners up to 1.2m in length, enabling users to create bold point of sale materials that stand out. In addition, families who enjoy demonstrating their creativity can select from a range of media, such as Canon’s Magnetic Photo paper for personalising fridge magnets or Restickable Photo paper for decorating walls, mirrors, laptops or phone covers.
