Canon PIXMA G3420 All-In-One MegaTank Printer

Overview

The Canon PIXMA G3420 All‑In‑One MegaTank Printer is a cost-effective, high-performance, refillable-ink system designed for home offices, small businesses, and students who print frequently in both black-and-white and color. It integrates print, scan, copy, and optional wireless mobile connectivity in one compact device. With an ultra-low cost per page and a robust ink capacity, the Canon PIXMA G3420 All‑In‑One MegaTank Printer delivers sharp, vivid prints and dependable performance without frequent cartridge replacements.

Engineered around Canon’s hybrid ink-tank system, the Canon PIXMA G3420 holds large ink reservoirs for black and color inks—one of the G-series printers with up to 3500 black-page yield and 7700 color yields from bundled bottles. Filling is mess-free with specially designed ink bottles, and the device displays intuitive ink-level indicators. For businesses printing frequent draft documents, full-color marketing collateral, or class assignments, this MegaTank solution provides dramatic savings in ink costs.

Print quality is strengthened by Canon’s 3-ink hybrid system. Using a dye black ink and two pigment color inks ensures crisp text, smooth tones, and enhanced fade resistance. This printer produces up to 4800 x 1200 dpi resolution, making it well-suited for flyers, photographs, and caller ID prints from compatible devices.

Speed performance delivers up to 13 ppm in black-and-white and 6.8 ppm in color (ISO). It offers quicker first-page-out times, allowing users to print a document virtually as soon as it’s submitted. Photo enthusiasts appreciate the optional borderless photo printing at 4×6, 5×7, letter, and legal sizes in under a minute—ideal for small prints or casual photo-sharing.

A built-in flatbed scanner with CIS scanning technology offers up to 600 x 1200 dpi optical resolution, enabling crisp scans of documents, photos, IDs, and legal-sized papers. The scanner supports basic utilities such as scanning-to-PC or cloud storage, with Canon’s IJ Scan Utility included. Copy mode supports quick black-and-white or color reproductions and includes adjustments like lightening, darkening, and paper size selection directly via control panel.

This model does not include an automatic document feeder, but the flatbed is suited for occasional multi-page scanning. For duplexing, manual duplex print mode guides users to reinsert pages to enable two-sided documents—reducing paper usage with some hand-turning effort.

Connectivity options are flexible. USB 2.0 connects to PCs, while optional Wi‑Fi connectivity (G3420 variant differs by region; check if built-in or optional adapter) enables mobile printing. With the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY mobile app, users can print and scan from smartphones or tablets via Wi‑Fi networks. It also supports AirPrint, Mopria, and Chromebook Print.

The design includes a 200-sheet front-loading plain paper cassette and optional rear tray for specialty paper like envelopes or photo media. Control is intuitive with a small LCD display and six-button panel, providing visibility for status messages, ink levels, and print selection.

Canon includes software to streamline productivity and photo workflows—such as My Image Garden for creative printing, Easy-PhotoPrint Editor for arranging photo layouts, and Quick Menu for essential utilities.

Energy management features include automatic power-off after 3 minutes of inactivity and fast recovery from standby mode. The G3420 consumes about 0.1W in standby and 12W during printing—earning ENERGY STAR certification and contributing to low running costs.

Built for durability and ease of maintenance, the Canon PIXMA G3420 All‑In‑One MegaTank Printer combines reliable mechanical components, high-yield ink capacity, and long-life printheads. Canon offers full support including firmware updates and troubleshooting resources.

Packed with high-volume capabilities, the Canon PIXMA G3420 All‑In‑One MegaTank Printer is ideal for professionals needing frequent color output, budget-conscious users replacing costly cartridges, or busy family homes. It supports bilingual office environments, school coursework, color product catalogs, and photo prints—all with minimal consumable disruption.
