OVERVIEW
The Canon MAXIFY GX3020 Wireless MegaTank Multifunction Color Printer brings business-class speed, capacity, and durability to home offices and small workgroups—without the high running costs. Its refillable MegaTank ink system slashes cost per page and reduces downtime, while fast ISO print speeds, robust paper handling, and reliable connectivity help you move from task to task effortlessly.
Business-Class Speed and Quality
Designed for productivity, the MAXIFY GX3020 prints up to 18 ipm in black and 13 ipm in color (ISO) so reports, invoices, handouts, and marketing pieces are ready when you are. A max print resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi delivers crisp, laser-like text with vibrant, smudge-resistant color graphics—ideal for everyday office documents and presentations.
MegaTank Economy: Refillable, High-Yield Ink
Canon’s MegaTank design uses high-capacity, spill-resistant GI-26 ink bottles for dramatically lower total cost of ownership. One full set can produce thousands of pages (up to approximately 6,000 pages black and 14,000 pages color under standard test conditions), minimizing interruptions and keeping your per-page costs consistently low. Visible front ink windows make it easy to monitor levels at a glance.
Robust Paper Handling with Automatic Duplexing
Load once and keep printing. A 250-sheet front cassette handles everyday letter and legal sizes, while a versatile 100-sheet rear tray accepts specialty media like envelopes and photo paper. Built-in auto 2-sided printing (duplex) reduces paper use and streamlines creation of professional documents, booklets, and reports.
Smart, Simple Connectivity
Built-in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) makes it easy to print wirelessly from computers and mobile devices. Native Apple AirPrint and Mopria support enable driverless printing from iOS, iPadOS, Android, and ChromeOS. The Canon PRINT app adds guided setup, maintenance, and convenient cloud workflows. A Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port provides reliable direct connection, and Bluetooth Low Energy streamlines initial setup.
Copy and Scan Essentials
The flatbed scanner uses a high-quality CIS sensor with an optical resolution up to 1200 x 2400 dpi to capture documents and photos with clarity. Practical copy features like ID Card Copy, 2-on-1 and 4-on-1 layout, reduction/enlargement (25–400%), and borderless copy help you adapt to common office tasks quickly.
Compact Design, Clear Controls
A space-savvy footprint and a clear 1.35-inch monochrome LCD keep the GX3020 easy to place and simple to operate. The front-facing ink tanks and intuitive controls reduce learning curves and make daily operation straightforward for everyone on your team.
Media Versatility and Borderless Printing
From standard letter/legal documents to glossy photos, labels, and envelopes, the GX3020 adapts effortlessly. Borderless printing up to 8.5 x 11 inches lets you create edge-to-edge brochures, flyers, and photo prints without trimming.
Who It’s For
Freelancers, home offices, and small workgroups who want low running costs, high yield, and reliable output will appreciate the MAXIFY GX3020. It’s ideal when you need crisp text, durable color documents, and the convenience of wireless printing in a compact, low-maintenance device.
Compare: MAXIFY GX3020 vs. MAXIFY GX4020
The GX3020 focuses on essential 3-in-1 functions (print, copy, scan) for teams that don’t require an automatic document feeder or Ethernet. Step up to the GX4020 if you need an ADF and hard-wired Ethernet connectivity along with a larger color display. For most home offices, the GX3020 delivers the same fast ISO speeds and MegaTank savings in a smaller footprint.
