Canon PIXMA MegaTank G1010 Single Function Ink Tank Colour Printer

See i purchased this canon G1010 for home use and it is the best for it. If you really want a single function printer on which you can rely, this is that. See printing differs as you change the mode of printing and canon also gives you free ink bottles to you so actually the printer only costs you between Rs.5500-6000 and the product support is excellent.It may not have the scan and print facility as the all in one printers has but you can use Adobe Scan for a much better AI powered scans. It also have the feature of manual duplex printing. One of the best features I liked in it that you can print via your smartphones also using USB mode in printhand, bolo print or print share like apps....Actually I really liked this printer as it really valued my money....

I think overall a very good product at this price range.The ink consumption is fairly good.The only two minute cons are prints very slow, and some colours are not printed upto the mark even with best quality and paper.But I think this what we get at this range.

PRINT QUALITY IS GOOD. I FEEL THE COLOUR PRINT IS LIGHTER IN CASE OF STANDARD MODE ESPECIALLY THE PINK AND VIOLET THAN WHAT IT IS DISPLAYED IN THE COMPUTER. THAT COULD BE DUE TO THE INK DIFFERNCE. I HAVE USED EPSON L 355, AND SO I COULD COMPARE THE QUALITY OF THE COLOURS. OTHER MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE IS THE REMOVABLE PRINT HEAD-CATRIDGE TYPE , WHICH IN FUTURE WE NEED NOT GO TO A SERVICE CENTRE TO REPLACE IT. WE COULD DO IT OURSELF. REPLACING THE PRINT HEAD OR CLEANING IT IS REALLY CUMBERSOME IN CASE OF EPSON. OVERALL IT IS A FANTSTIC PRODUCT AND VALUE FOR MONEY. EXCELLENT BUY.

Literally the best printer in this range, performance with no hitch. One thing is that, you have to print on frequent intervals, dont let the printer sit. If you let the printer sit, you have to use ink flush. In short, was never stuck with this printer. It works like a charm always.

The ink in either of the 3 pipes (C,M,Y) periodically stops reaching the print head and that color would stop appearing on color prints, making them discolored due to absence of one color. Then to correct this problem you either call the customer service or yourself run "Ink Flush", either option wastes hell lot of ink. Almost 10-20% of all ink is wasted in one "ink flush" run. Similarly, the customer care representative would also waste similar amount of ink but he would claim that he did his best by using injections and not running ink flush.In my 20 day usage, this problem has already occured twice, wasting almost 30% percent of the color inks. Its such a disappointment.Customer care is of no help as they come and waste your own ink.Regarding print quality and ink consumption on prints, it is fine.

Got it checked and installed by canon person for warranty, he came in 2 days. 1-Oct being holiday. Bangalore.Main purpose is to print kid worksheets and exercises. Since I have pc and laptop, didn’t went for wifi models and saved few thousand. Its simple plug and play, just Download latest driver from canon site and its good to go.On purchasing printer I bought extra inks for 423/- per bottle. ( it comes with ink)Print quality is good quality, b/w and color both. Took couple of them.Don’t need scanner, I use Microsoft office lens app for scanning documents/cards. iPhone camera is better 🙂I got better deal on amazon then Offline stores 9100 (printer + additional 1black, 3 colour ink) + saved time

All best

Printer material is good and prints are in satisfaction.Coming to photo print it is like a lab print.vallue for money.
