#2 in Printer · Rated 4.5
Low-cost MegaTank all-in-one with great ink efficiency
Canon's MegaTank PIXMA G3290 is an affordable all-in-one inkjet with four refillable ink tanks. It targets budget-minded households and students who print frequently but want low ongoing costs. The G3290 provides printing, copying, and scanning with a compact chassis, a 2.7-inch color touchscreen, and auto duplex printing. It supports AirPrint, Mopria, and USB connectivity for easy mobile and desktop printing. Ink transparency and high page yields drastically reduce cost-per-page versus cartridge-based printers, making it a standout option for homework, assignments, and light-office tasks.
