Canon MegaTank G3270 Wireless Inkjet Printer

I was going to buy a laser printer but I wanted color printing and went back and forth on which printer to get since inkjets are notoriously bad at eating ink. I decided to take a chance on this one and it does the job. TLDR: it takes a long time to run out of ink, but actually getting it to print is a little bit of a nuisance.
Print quality: fair/good. It will pick up most details, I wouldn’t use this to print nice quality photos though.
Ink longevity: Excellent! I’ve had this for 4 months and printed maybe 200+ pages and the ink is still sitting very close to the “full” mark.
Speed of printing: fair/good. It’s not slow, but it’s not fast either.
Ease of setup/connectivity: Poor. Setup was fairly easy the first time, they have a QR code that walks you through the setup process. After that though, good luck. I’ve gotten it to print everything I’ve needed it to, but each job takes at least 10 minutes of fiddling with it. You have to turn it on, then your computer on, then do some magic by telling it to print and canceling the print jobs until it finally determines that the printer is online and connected. Thankfully I have time and don’t have to print every day. If you’re doing some serious printing throughout your day, maybe invest in something better.
Jams: only encountered one jam when I loaded the tray improperly(my fault), it was easy to fix though.
Size: large. While I wouldn’t call this thing HUGE, it’s definitely not compact. Get ready for it to take up a good chunk of your desk corner, and for it to be on the heavier side. I have the space so it doesn’t bother me, but if you’re looking for something with a tiny footprint in a small office, this isn’t it.
Overall price-for-quality: reasonable. It’s bulky, it’s got weird connection issues, and it doesn’t have a lot of fancy features, but it’s got solid print quality and the real win here is what you won’t have to pay for later in ink. I’ve seen tiny printers for less than $100 that cost $50 in ink refills every 100 pages. The ink it comes with will have you printing for a long while before you need to fill it back up, that was worth it for me.

It’s not the highest quality color print, and it won’t turn a paper around for you to auto-print double sided, but it does scan, it has both wireless (using WiFi/app) and wire connections (have to get your own cable to print via wire connections though), works on desktop and for mobile devices, easy enough to set up, but most of all it’s extremely affordable. The print quality is decent if you have the settings a certain way. (Even when using plain printer paper, set the Media Type to Matte Photo Paper for better color. This will also use up more ink though, so if you’re fine with a faded print for longer lasting ink, such as just for documents, the Media Type Plain Paper is the better choice. Print speed is also a bit slower if you go for the better color density option, which makes sense.) Print speed is fairly normal, not fast, but not slow as molasses either. The ink is easy to refill and ink bottles are a fraction the price of what you’d pay for cartridge refills. As a teacher who only has regular access to black and white printers at school, when I want an occasional page in color to post in the classroom and don’t want to spend too much on the print since it’s out of pocket, this does the trick nicely.

After arguing with myself for over a year, I finally broke down and bought a new printer because I was very frustrated with my HP printer. I did a ton or research and knew I wanted one that had refillable tanks. However, the price for types of printers are astronomical. I finally found this one and it had great reviews, ND it was a much more affordable price within my budget.
Unboxing and set up with very easy. The tanks on the printer and the ink bottles are color coded, so very easy to put the right ink in the right tank. There is also a fill line that is easy to see so you don’t overfill. Setup was easy with wifi and wireless printing, as the app walks you through it step by step. It prints great quality pages at a good speed (it’s a home printer, not for a business or anything). Overall, a wonderful printer for a great price that will most definitely save me money versus buying ink cartridges!
