What's Canon MegaTank?

When you think of inkjet printers, you'll probably expect a printer that uses cartridges. Generally spoken, that's right. But the Canon MegaTank technique works slightly differently. You'll find this technique in certain types of the PIXMA and MAXIFY series. You'll see if the printer is a MegaTank printer right away, because you'll see at least 4 ink tanks on the front of the printer.

You fill the ink tanks with ink from bottles instead of cartridges. MegaTank printers use pigment black ink and dye color ink. These colors give more contrast and sharpness to your prints. These printers have a separate ink tank for each color. The black tank is slightly larger than the tanks of cyan, magenta, and yellow. That's because you often use black tones with printing. You can easily refill the ink tanks with the accompanying ink bottles.

The MegaTank technology offers a lot of advantages. The 4 most important advantages that you can experience with a MegaTank printer are:

• Low printing costs: you can print thousands of documents before you have to refill the ink.
• Wireless printing options: most MegaTank printers have built-in WiFi and app support, so you can send print jobs from any mobile device.
• Photo printing: with some MegaTank models, you can print photos in high resolution. You can even do this borderless.
• User-friendly: the printers have a clear LCD screen on which you can adjust the settings.
• These printers support many media types.

There's a MegaTank printer for every usage situation.

• At home: you and your family can easily and wirelessly print photos and documents.
• Freelancer or small office: you and your colleagues can print reports for cheap via the Canon PRINT apps.
• Education: you and other teachers can print all the school assignments. You'll have to refill the ink only after thousands of pages.
