Take, say, the Pixma G4210, which, for about the same price as today's G7020, holds less than half the amount of paper and comes with markedly fewer features.īut we'll get to that. And that, when you think about it, kind of defeats the purpose of purchasing a printer with very low per-page operating costs.īut just as Epson has done with its EcoTank brand, Canon's latest round of MegaTank models, while they still deliver the same low per-page costs, are much beefier and more robust than their predecessors. In other words, while these printers delivered terrific low running costs, they were also dismally slow, low on productivity and convenience features, and not really suited for printing and copying more than 100 or so pages each month. A Mega-Beefy MegaTankĪs Epson (and later HP) did with its first few bulk-ink models, Canon designed its first MegaTank machines with somewhat effete feature sets, too-modest paper input capacities, and paltry volume ratings.
They're just enough to nudge the G6020 out and the G7020 in as our latest favorite entry-level color AIO printer for home offices.
For the few extra bucks between the G6020's and G7020's purchase prices, the latter comes with an automatic document feeder (ADF) for sending multipage documents to the scanner without manual flipping, as well as a few other less notable features. And it churns out both black and color pages for under 1 cent each, making it a terrific value for those with moderate print and copy needs (say, between 300 and 500 pages a month).
Like most lower-end bulk-ink models (Including Canon's MegaTank, Epson's EcoTank, and HP's Smart Tank Plus brands), this one prints well, if a little slowly. A step up from the Editors' Choice-winning Pixma G6020 MegaTank, Canon's Pixma G7020 Wireless MegaTank All-in-One ($329.99) is a cartridge-less (bulk-ink) multifunction inkjet designed for printing and copying a few hundred pages per month in a home or small office.
