Product Details:
If you are looking for an affordable, reliable, and efficient inkjet printer with high-quality printing and low ink consumption, you can put the Canon PIXMA G4670 MegaTank printer at the top of your list. It’s a 4-in-1 and it comes with a 35-page automatic document feeder for efficient printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Key to its popularity, however, is that ink costs are low, with page yields impressively high at up to 6,000 pages in black and up to 7,700 pages in colour per refill, reducing the need for frequent ink replacement.
The G4670 is a mid-range Canon MegaTank, and like others in the range, it’s a good deal if you want to avoid too frequent payments for expensive ink cartridges once you’ve used up what comes in the box. Yes, you pay a bit more for the printer itself than you would for other inkjets, but if you are printing frequently enough you will save over the long term.
While more affordable than a similarly-featured laser printer, the G4670 lacks some of the features found in Canon’s top-end inkjets, most notably automatic double-sided printing, scanning, and copying, and Ethernet connectivity. For home use, the lack of Ethernet is unlikely to be an issue, as you can connect via Wi-Fi, USB, or Wi-Fi Direct. The printer also supports Apple AirPrint, Mopria, PIXMA Cloud Link, and Canon PRINT, making it easy to print directly from your smartphone or tablet. However, if you need to print double-sided documents frequently, you may want to consider a different model.
If you plan to print photos it is a cost-effective option for casual photo printing, offering good print quality and high page yields. However, the limited range of colour inks (where dedicated photo printers have six or more) can result in printed pictures that look dull or less detailed in darker areas.
When you need ink refills, you need Canon GI61 ink bottles — the pigment-based GI61BK Black bottle is manufacturer-rated to print up to 6,000 pages; the dye-based Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow ink is estimated to print up to 7,700 pages per bottle. The ink bottles are spill-resistant and easy to fit with unique nozzles for each ink which means you won’t mistakenly fill up the tank with the wrong coloured ink. While the cost per page for these genuine Canon inks is impressively low (and rivals that of a laser printer), less expensive compatible GI61 printer inks are also available.
Print speeds are reasonable for an inkjet (at up to 11 pages per minute for black and white, and up to six pages per minute for colour) and, with a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi, your documents and photos will look sharp and vibrant. The printer also supports borderless printing and scans are quick, with a maximum optical resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi.
Overall, the Canon PIXMA G4670 MegaTank printer is a solid choice if you want high-quality printing without breaking the bank when you need more ink. Some users have reported that the printer can be noisy during operation, but the printer is still highly recommended for its ease of use, versatility, and cost-effective high-yield inks.
