Effectively eliminating the need for stacks of ink cartridges, the PIXMA G3200 Wireless MegaTank All-in-One Inkjet Printer from Canon uses an integrated ink tank system that makes refilling much simpler and provides an astounding 6000 black or 7000 color prints on a single set of fresh ink bottles. The clear ink reservoirs as easy to see, having been placed at the front of the G3200 so that you can make sure you never run low. That, of course, isn't everything this wireless-capable all-in-one can do as it packs in impressive printing, scanning, and copying functions as well.
For printing, the G3200 uses a reliable inkjet system with a resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi that will deliver sharp text and vivid images. The system can also work quickly, with rated speeds of 8.8 ipm in black and 5 ipm in color. Users can also create borderless photos with ease and work with a variety of standard media sizes from 4 x 6" to 8.5 x 14". Using a 100-sheet rear tray, users will even be able to work with more specialized media from 2.2 x 3.5" up to 8.5 x 26.6" in size. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity in addition to USB 2.0 furthers the potential for the printer by supporting various mobile printing protocols, including Google Cloud Print and Canon's own PRINT app.
Scanning and copying is made possible due to the implementation of a flatbed unit. This supports media up to 8.5 x 11.7" and operates at an optical resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi for sharp, detailed images. Users can also enjoy interpolation up to 19,200 x 19,200 dpi for creating a file with the highest level of detail possible.
