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

Print high volumes of course materials, resilient full-colour handouts and administrative documents while saving money on ink costs. Supervise children in one room while printing in another using wireless connectivity.

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

Brilliant business-quality prints

Enjoy water-, friction- and marker-resistant, business-friendly prints with excellent readability, delivered quickly and in large volumes

Print more media in-house

Print flyers, banners and posters in-house thanks to compatibility with a wide variety of materials including magnetic and photo media, plus a new rear flat tray that supports thicker media and card

Print without pause

Print high volumes of documents without irritating paper reloads, thanks to a 100-sheet rear feed and a 250-sheet front cassette, windowed to make checking paper levels quick and easy. A 35-sheet ADF simplifies multipage document management

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 recently purchase a Canon GX4050 and received fantastic service from Printerbase. They went over and above board to help with my order, checked that I was happy with what I'd ordered and rang to inform me when it would be delivered. What excellent service. I would definitely recommend Printerbase. Good service is so rare these days!

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.

They have mostly similar specs, with the Canon having a slightly higher DPI, which provides an improved print quality. Hope this helps Thank you The Printerbase Team Hope this helps Thank you
