Ideal For Convenient, Low Maintenance Printing, Canon U.S.A. Strengthens The PIXMA G-series MegaTank Printer Family
MELVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced three additions to the family of PIXMA G-series MegaTank Printers: the PIXMA G3260 MegaTank Wireless1 All-In-One Printer, PIXMA G2260 MegaTank All-In-One Printer, and PIXMA MegaTank G1220 Single-Function Printer. These printers are ideal for high-volume printing environments such as home offices or classrooms, or anywhere a user needs a printer with excellent connectivity and convenient, high-quality printing.
"Convenience, ease-of-use and reliability are essential for people who are working or distance-learning from home," said Tatsuro "Tony" Kano, executive vice president and general manager of Canon U.S.A.'s Imaging Technologies & Communications Group. "The family of PIXMA G-Series MegaTank printers can help ease the printing experience for employees and students who are away from their office or school and dependent on high-quality printing for their day-to-day tasks."
Each of these PIXMA G-series MegaTank printers features a front-facing, built-in refillable ink tank system, making it simple for users to monitor ink levels and refill when needed. The new ink bottles do not require the user to squeeze the bottles to fill the ink tanks, and fill-up stops when the tank becomes full. The black ink provides up to 6,000 black and white pages per bottle2, and the color ink bottles combined provide up to 7,700 color pages2.
The PIXMA G3260 and PIXMA G2260 printers deliver print speeds of up to 10.8 images per minute (ipm) in black and white (B/W) and 6.0 ipm in color3. The PIXMA G1220 printer offers print speeds of up to 9.1 ipm in B/W and 5.0 ipm in color3. Both the PIXMA G3260 and G2260 MegaTank All-In-One Printers provide users with the option to print, copy and scan, and feature a 2-line mono LCD screen.
The PIXMA G3260 printer is equipped with Wi-Fi®1 capabilities, and users can now dictate print commands through the Amazon Alexa™4 and Google Assistant™4 enabled smart speaker devices. By simply using a compatible smartphone and the Canon PRINT app5, users can easily access PIXMA Cloud Link5 to print photos and documents from popular online social platforms and services, such as Facebook®, Dropbox®, Evernote®, Google Drive™4 and Microsoft® OneDrive®.
All of these new PIXMA G-Series MegaTank printers support PosterArtist Lite V3.X software6. Users can easily and quickly create flyers and posters, choosing from approximately 100 templates. Users can also take their customization even further by selecting photographs and clip art from an extensive collection of available content.

*Specifications, availability and prices are subject to change without notice. Actual prices are set by individual dealers and may vary.
1 Wireless printing requires a working network with wireless 802.11 b/g/n capability, operating at 2.4GHz. Wireless performance may vary based on terrain and distance between the printer and wireless network clients.
2 Page yield of included ink bottles used for initial setup is lower than the replacement ink bottles, as a certain amount of ink is consumed to fill into the print head during setup (charging the print head initially). Page yield is the estimated value based on Canon individual test method using the ISO/IEC 24712 chart and continuous printing simulation with the replacement ink bottles after initial setup. Page yield of color inks is an average yield of cyan, magenta, and yellow inks combined. Page yield varies significantly depending on content printed, ink levels maintained in all four reservoirs, and other factors. Up to 6,000 (black)/7,700 (color) printed page yields are approximate using 'default printing mode' via Windows/Mac OS driver or printer copy setting, based off document pages printed.
3 IPM print speeds are based on the default speed printer driver mode using black and white and color text patterns. Print speed is measured as soon as the first page begins to feed into the printer and will vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, document complexity, print mode, types of paper used, and page coverage. See usa.canon.com/ipm for additional details.
4 Requires an active smart assistant account linked and accompanying app-enabled, the smart device and printer to be actively connected with permission to the Canon Inkjet Cloud Printing Center, and the required action(s), skill(s), or applet(s) available/enabled to the compatible printer. Voice commands can not be displayed as text on Amazon smart devices with screens.
5 Requires an Internet connection and the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app, available for free on the App Store and at Google Play. Compatible with Apple devices running iOS 7.0 or later and Android mobile devices running Android 4.0 or later. Your device must be connected to the same working network with wireless 802.11 b/g/n capability as your printer.
