Manufacturer's Description

Manufacturer Description

Brilliant productivity, best-in-class CPP and TCO 

Cost per page (CPP) is the amount of money that it takes to print a single page. This is determined by dividing the cost of the ink by the page yield. The total cost of ownership (TCO) is a calculation of what a printer would cost you based on the initial purchase cost of hardware plus the costs of ink over a fixed period.
Low running costs, brilliant productivity 

With a full set of ink bottles producing up to 14,000 prints, this high-performance, high-volume MegaTank printer delivers huge savings on the total cost of ownership and cost per page. That’s a smart investment for any home office.
Home office 

With a compact footprint, simple connectivity and easy to access user-replaceable maintenance cartridge, the MAXIFY GX range is the ideal high-volume, high-efficiency printer for demanding home and hybrid workers.
Retail 

Reduce costs by printing more media in-house. Create high-quality, durable point of sale materials, signage, promotional banners and tags using the rear flat tray, which supports thick paperboard.
Estate Agents 

Quickly print colour flyers and brochures in large volumes while retaining superb quality. All-pigment ink means prints are bright, highly readable, smudge-resistant and blur-free.
Educational Institutions

Ultra-low running costs 

Save over the printer’s lifetime thanks to cost effective refillable ink tanks that vastly reduce the total cost of ownership and cost per page. Boost page yield with Economy mode and print up to 1.5x more pages with the same amount of ink

Print more media in-house

Print without pause

Small but mighty 

Save vital space at home or in the office thanks to the printer’s compact footprint, whilst reducing the amount of plastic packaging means more of it can be easily recycled
Easy to use and maintain 

Reduce downtime with the user-replaceable maintenance cartridge, easily accessible from the front of the printer. Colour-coded, spring-loaded ink caps mean refills are simple and mess-free

  • I have always used HP printers and found them to be very good apart from my present HP smart tank 7300 Which Nearly shakes itself off the table and the print button sometimes fails to work. plus the quality of the product is very poor. Is the Canon Maxify printer Comparable to my HP 7300 smart tank. I have found the print quality of canon printers is as good as HP. Thanks for your help.
