Great attributes
The new Canon G series includes enough ink to last years for most users, delivering up 7700 colour pages or 7600 black pages on economy mode. This presents an easy choice for users who need to print more without hesitation and has the potential to transform traditional printing habits completely.
The printers are suitable for general use or photo printing, with the dedicated use of pigment black ink for crisp and sharp text in text documents and line drawings, and automatic switching to only dye-ink colour channels when there is a need to produce full-borderless glossy photos up to A4 sizes.
To avoid unintended filling of coloured inks into the wrong tank openings, the new Canon G series features new ink bottle designs, with outlet nozzles that fit only in the respective colour tank well openings. Ink filling is fast, drip-free, and hands-free, allowing users to complete the entire unboxing and setup process in just minutes while maintaining a mess-free workstation.
The user-replaceable maintenance cartridge design of the new Canon G series will also save users numerous trips to authorized service facilities. Replacement of the maintenance cartridge and the subsequent automatic reset of the internal ink counter removes prolongs the printer lifetime well beyond conventional printers and ensures users can continue to print as intended with minimal downtime.
Users can also print and scan1 from iOS and Android mobile devices (smartphone, tablets, and laptops) through the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app that offers fine-tuned control of all printer settings and parameters. For even easier direct printing from mobile devices, iOS uses can use AirPrint, while Android users can rely on the Canon Print Service plugin, available on the Play store.
The new Canon G series is also compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, which enables voice-activated printing. A wide range of documents that can be printed via voice command varies from colouring pages and origami, to message cards and shopping lists, empowering users to perform a wide variety of tasks at one time.
