PIXMA G620 Wireless MegaTank Photo All-in-One Printer [Print, Copy, Scan], Black,Works with Alexa

This All-in-One printer/copier/scanner is simply amazing. I use this printer to print photos, at the highest quality possible, both in color and black and white. The quality is stunning--as good as my Pixma Pro 9000 mark II, which has an 8-color system as opposed the G620's 6-ink system (Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, Red, Black, and Grey). But don't let the fewer ink colors fool you; this printer does absolutely fantastic when printing photos. And it does so economically! The ink tanks are just huge and the ink is very affordable. I've printed well over 150 8-1/2 x 11" prints and barely begun to use the ink. There's no way I could have done that on a cartridge printer without a lot of cartridges and a lot of expense. Installing the ink is easy, since the bottles (and I'm still on my original set) are keyed to each specific tank. There's no way to put the wrong ink into the wrong tank by accident. Each tank refills in seconds. Set up was easy--basically rip the tape off, load ink, load software and do a calibration. The software was quickly downloaded from Canon. A quick test print determined that I had to adjust the default density of the prints, because it was too dense/dark. Moving it one setting lighter in the Canon software made it ideal, and that's using Canon approved paper with the Canon driver and Canon paper choice. I would highly recommend Canon's pro-luster paper with this printer, BTW. It's a great default paper. Experimenting with other papers, I found that Hahnemuele Glossy Photo Rag Baryta makes absolutely stunning images with very deep blacks and great color depth. The setting I would recommend is to 1) Set the printer options in your driver to semi-gloss,and use Hahnemuele's ICC profile for the Canon i6400 printer. In the Advanced printer settings, select Paper Abrasion Prevention. I use Qimage Pro for printing, as it makes it easy to use paper profiles. This All-in-One isn't perfect. It's fairly slow in printing, so don't expect instant print results. But the results are worth the wait. There's no automated paper feed for the copier or scanning features of this All-in-One. Sheets have to be laid down by hand over the glass for scanning or copying But these complaints are very minor IMHO, unless you're scanning a lot of documents. Print size is limited to 8-1/2" wide, so unfortunately, you can't print 13"x19" prints. The printer is very economical because the ink lasts a long time. In fact, the costs are competitive with color laser prints, but with much higher quality results. This printer is very highly recommended; you won't be disappointed with it. I've ordered the gear to set up my own paper profiles, because I really like how this all-in-one printer/scanner/copier prints color images.

I bought the Canon PIXMA G620 for my small business to print marketing materials, thank you cards, and similar projects. Overall, I’m really happy with it, but there are a few things worth knowing before buying. One of the biggest limitations is the paper thickness it can handle. Canon lists the maximum supported weight as 275 GSM on their website. You might be able to get away with printing something slightly thicker like 300 GSM, but you’ll probably end up with roller marks or paper jams if you try to do that regularly. I ran a single 300 GSM index card through mine, and it printed fine mechanically, but that’s as far as I pushed it. I can’t say how well it would hold up long term with paper that thick. The paper I use consistently is Hamilco’s 100 lb (270 GSM) double-sided glossy cover stock, and it prints beautifully with this machine. It’s thick, has a premium feel, and gives my marketing materials a professional look. The colors come out vibrant and sharp, and the gloss finish adds just the right amount of shine without being too reflective. I tried other papers, including photo paper, but most were either too glossy, too thin, or showed fingerprints easily. The Hamilco paper is affordable, easy to find right on Amazon, and I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for a thicker, classy paper for marketing use. I saw other people mention in their reviews that the screen is hard to see, and while I’ll admit it’s small and you have to be looking straight on at it to read it, it’s really not the end of the world. Once you get familiar with the menu, it’s easy to navigate. Setting it up was simple. It took me about ten minutes from start to finish, and most of that time was spent installing the drivers and software. I also recommend downloading Canon’s PosterArtist software. It makes it easy to adjust print settings, change paper sizes, perform maintenance, and even design materials directly. I’m using the free trial right now, but the paid version isn’t expensive and seems worth it if you print a lot. Overall, this printer does a great job for the money. The colors are vibrant, the setup is quick, and it’s perfect for thank you cards, flyers, and general marketing materials. As long as you stay under that 275 GSM limit, you’ll get consistent, high-quality prints. I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend it to other small business owners who want great results without spending a fortune.

I’ve owned this printer since October 2023 and it’s now February 2026. I’ve enjoyed it’s ease of use, connectivity, print quality for photos and documents, and scanner capability. This is not my daily use printer. I use it for printing photos for our home and for use with my watercolor painting. I’ve noticed that I have to print a test page to keep the print heads from drying out between uses which is not a bother. I wish it had a backlit screen. I have to turn on a lamp or the room light to read the screen. This printer can print double sided….but not automatically like the Canon G3290 (this is my daily use printer) is able to. To print double sided, you have to flip the paper and place it back into rhe feed tray.
