MAXIFY small business or home office printing!
I've used AIO printers from a number of manufacturers over the years, but this is my first MegaTank printer. I've definitely had some issues in the past with "non-confirming" cartridges and manufacturers that want to control where your ink is purchased. Canon's new MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One does away with those types of issues. The printer utilizes tank technology and gets away from replacing cartridges. For me, this is a win-win as the printer boasts 6K-9K black & white pages and 14K-21K color pages and no need to worry about trying to recycle or landfill the old cartridges. Unboxing - The printer is really well made and Canon quality shines throughout. Included in the box is the printer, power cord, 4 x ink bottles and instruction material. The printer was well packaged and easy to unbox and get ready for setup. Setup - Canon has done a great job of providing an easy setup process whether the unit is being run via ethernet or WiFi. My printer is setup on a Mac and was easy to install by selecting "add new printer" in System Preferences. Within minutes it was connected and printing via WiFi. I also downloaded the Canon PRINT app on my iPhone 13 Pro and setup AirPrint as well. This is an important aspect for me as much of my work is done on Apple mobile devices and the ability to print from or scan to these devices is essential. Filling the printer with the supplied ink was also very easy. The bottles are key coded so you can't put the wrong color into the printer. It's as simple as picking the color ink, lining it up with the proper tank and connecting the bottle to fill. No spills, no mess! Print Quality - My usage is primarily for home office use for real estate so I need the ability to print on legal/letter paper and also print color flyers and marketing material. The Canon MAXIFY GX6021 checks these boxes and supports up to 350 sheets of paper. Black & White printing is super quick and the output far exceeds my needs/expectations. Although this isn't a picture printer, the output quality on photo paper was pretty impressive as well for an "office" AIO. Features - The GX6021 will print up to 1200 x 600 DPI, has a 2.7" LCD touch control panel, supports WiFi and mobile printing/scanning and supports USB flash drive printing/scanning. Pros: - Easy to setup and operate - High paper/output yield due to MegaTank use - Great build quality and 3 year / 80K page warranty - Support for AirPrint and other mobile devices and apps - Print speed and output quality is superb - 2.7" touch LCD for operation - low operating cost based on output capacities Cons - Initial cost of ownership on the higher side, but will even out over years of usage All-in-all the Canon MAXIFY GX6021 AIO printer is a great solution for a small office or home office environment. It's easy to set up and operate and will help to reduce printing costs over time with the use of MegaTank technology. If you're in the market for this type of printer I would certainly recommend this unit!

Solid and Functional All-In-One Printer
We were in need of a solid and reliable printer for our home. We were looking at a laser printer originally, but decided to take a chance on the GX6021 inkjet and so far we're really happy with it. It nails all the basics of printing and scanning and hasn't given us any problems. The print quality is excellent and with the ink that is included we shouldn’t need to replace that for a long time. Initially setting up the printer felt a little daunting, but ended up being pretty simple. The LCD display gives a step-by-step guide on where to remove all of the tapes and plastic tabs. There’s a set of black and color ink included in the box that I was initially concerned about making a mess of or putting it in the wrong tanks, but the bottles are all keyed to their respective tanks and the ink does not come out until it is fully seated on top of the ink reservoir. I chose not to connect the printer to the network via Wi-Fi but instead hard wired it to my router and either option is available on the GX6021. It can also be connected to a PC via USB, but no USB cable is included in the box. I know that Canon offers a variety of apps and software for this printer, but for my needs I am not utilizing any of them. I’ve been able to print and scan from multiple devices (phone, PC, and Mac) without any issues or having to install additional software. I'm mainly using 8.5 x 11 letter, but the bottom cassette also accepts 8.5 x 14 legal and is compatible with a variety of other sizes standard and custom. The print quality on standard 8.5 x 11 paper is excellent and the ink does not smudge. I love it as a design choice, but functionally being able to actually observe the ink levels on the front of the printer is fantastic. Navigating the menus on the LCD is intuitive and did not have a big learning curve. Overall I'm very happy with the GX6021 printer. I've only had it for about a month or so, but it's been extremely reliable during that time and I'd recommend it to anyone who has a little bit more than the basic printing needs and wants a high quality all-in-one device.

Solid printer with reasonable ink cost
I like this printer. The build quality is solid and attractive. It’s a little taller but also narrower than similar letter-size all-in-ones. The installation was easy and without any problems. It comes with a massive amount of ink which is one of its major features, and thus the name “Maxify”. Rather than cartridges, this printer comes with four bottles of ink. There’s about 4.5 oz of each color and over 5.5 oz of black. The printer holds a full bottle of each, and the bottles are keyed making it impossible to dump ink into the wrong tank. Filling the printer was clean and without any fuss or mess. Well thought out, Canon. The inks are pigment-based making them nearly waterproof, and of course, Canon quality. This also makes for great color prints. Typical of Canon printers, even though it’s not a “Photo Printer”, it still produces great color prints on photo paper. This system is at the other end of the spectrum from high-priced, branded cartridges with proprietary chips, and/or subscription ink programs. You might pay a bit more for the machine, but the reward is a very reasonable price for quality ink. If you want high quality with low throughput cost, this is a solid choice. A side benefit is that the Canon software is much less intrusive and trouble-free than those which require your printer to always be connected to the internet so they can constantly call home to report usage. As mentioned, this is a multi-function printer/copier/scanner with a multi-page document feeder. Copying, scanning, and printing all support duplexing. It will reduce or enlarge and print multiple pages to one. There’s a fold-out manual feed slot on the back which is a feature missing from many printers these days. If you want to print an envelope, photo, or any different size or type of paper, this makes life much easier. So far there’s nothing not to like about this printer. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality printer. The low throughput cost is going to shine if you have a high printing volume.

Cannon Maxify GX6021
This is a great printer. The instructions were easy to follow. Setup was easy and the use of this printer in the house is great. Anyone can connect to it and print from their phone or their computer, what a great idea to have ink tanks that are refillable.

Canon Maxify MegaTank GX6021 is a Winner!!!
Coming from an Epson EcoTank printer, the Canon Maxify MegaTank GX6021 printer is much, much better in my opinion. It is faster, quieter and it prints exceptionally well in color as well as in black and white. I am still reading all the features it has and I am beyond happy with it. The only thing this printer doesn't have is auto scanning but I already knew this before purchasing it so it doesn't really bother me. Also, I've read reviews that this printer auto turns off and that it doesn't wake up during a print job. While it is set up that way from the factory, you need to go to the Power Settings to make the appropriate adjustments. All and all, it's a beautiful printer that hopefully will give you many years of enjoyment. If the fact that it doesn't have auto scanning doesn't bother you, I would say go for it and purchase this printer. You'll be glad you did as I am!! I Highly recommend it!!!

Seems good
Performing more reliably than our previous, more expensive printer that gave us problems from the beginning. So, this seems pretty good so far. We're having problems with remote printing but that may be more to do with our network.

Mega Tank Ink is a Game Changer for InkJets
KEY FEATURES 50 Sheet Auto Document Feeder 250 Sheet Paper Tray Canon claims up to 6,000 Pages B&W / 14,000 Pages Color on Ink 3 Year / 80,000 Sheet Warranty 45,000 Sheets per Month Print Capacity INITIAL SET-UP The Canon GX6021 was relatively simple to set up and start to use. Someone with an existing Canon printer will find the set-up process familiar, but those coming from another brand of printer will find the set-up process archaic. Luckily, Canon includes a QR code on the box and in the instruction manual to help new users through the process. Not that getting the GX6021 going is a chore, but compared to the HP Smart App or the Epson app, the Canon app feels like it was lifted directly from the Windows 95 days and teleported to 2022. Canon, it is time for a major overhaul of your software. Not only that, between Windows, Mac, and Mobile, there is a total of 9 apps for the printer. Come on Canon. You can do better. After removing the packing material and shipping tape, I plugged the Canon in and began to get it set up directly from the built-in touchscreen. After, being thoroughly disappointed by the Canon apps, I had little hopes for the UI of the printer. I hate having to refer to directions for setting up new tech and I did not have to with the Canon, only because I have experience with their products. A new user may find it frustrating. Luckily, the device’s 2.7” touch screen did a thorough enough job to get me through the whole process. It was cumbersome, but it worked. Canon has an excellent ink fill / refill system. Not only do they provide you with the color and color code for each ink on the reservoir, but the ink bottles are also keyed to where they will only fit in their appropriate slot. Very slick and a great idea to keep from inadvertently mixing the ink in the wells. USE This printer is first and foremost a business-class printer. A buyer needs to understand that it is made for durability and sustainability in mind. I would not consider this a multi-purpose photo / business printer. While it does print well, it’s overall print resolution is just average for this day and age and would not be a suitable candidate as a photo printer. With that caveat being said, the GX6021 is a worthy companion to a home or home office environment. Canon rates the capacity of the GX6021 up to a whopping 45,000 printed pages per month. That is a huge amount. This printer is a welcome and much appreciated improvement to my existing Canon MB5320. The MB has served as my workhorse for many years. It has been robust and reliable, never failing to do what was needed (unless I forgot and ran out of ink). The GX6021 is an improvement in the older MB in almost every way. The user interface is much more refined and responsive. I consider a touchscreen display nearly mandatory these days. It is great to be able to load documents into the scanner and have them scanned to your PC without having to make trip after trip between computer and printer. While my older MB worked well, it would take it, what seemed like forever to start printing, especially if switching between computers. It would take 1 – 2 minutes of thinking and processing to finally start printing. The GX, takes only 10 seconds or so. A huge improvement and time saver. Printing is clean and crisp with little to no bleeding. This printer will throw down some ink on standard and high print quality. If you use anything but economy for printing, I highly recommend buying a better / heavier quality of paper than the cheapest stuff you can get at Office Max or Wal-Mart as the ink really gets saturated into the cheap paper. Economy printing is no issue. Any of the cheap stuff will do. But that is also a benefit. Economy printing is plenty dark and detailed enough for my liking and saves ink in the process. Economy printing on the GX no longer feels like and looks like your machine is running out of supplies. The scanner is one of the best I’ve used, even better than my Epson. Pages are sucked through the ADF and scanned without drama. All my scans have been straight, clean, and true. Something that I can’t say about my Epson 580 scanner, where every sheet seems to be a little crooked. The scanner has an optical resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi for extremely crisp scans. However, even scans as low as 200dpi still turn out clean and legible, with almost no hint that you scanned at a low resolution. Excellent work Canon. I’m not sure if it’s your software doing the compensation or the scanner itself, but it works and works well. NEGATIVES 1. I can’t get the GX to play nicely with Microsoft Edge. Everything I’ve tried to print from within the browser fails. I’m not sure if it is a Canon issue or a Microsoft issue, but it is an issue and it is frustrating. Thankfully, I have had no similar hiccups with either Chrome or Firefox. But, to this day, Edge is a no-go. 2. Compared to my older MB5320, this GX does feel less robust. Not significantly less, but it does feel more cheaply made. To be fair, the MB5320 felt like a tank and had a heft to go along with it. But to be fair to Canon, compared to my HP OfficeJet Pro 8035, the GX6021 feels like a tank. The HP is the cheapest feeling and flimsiest printer I’ve ever tried to use in my office. Good riddance. 3. While the GX6021 does produce good looking prints and razer sharp text, it is relatively low resolution at only 1200 x 600dpi. That is one of the lowest resolution inkjet printers I’ve seen in a long time. Low enough, that you can’t even scan an image and print it at the same resolution as the scan. That seems like a mistake. To be a true multi-function printer, I think the Canon needs a higher resolution print head. CONCLUSIONS Epson turned the inkjet world upside down when they introduced their EcoTank printers a few years ago. It really was revolutionary. I remember watching a video where someone compared the price of printer ink per ounce to price the of gold per ounce and printer ink was WAY more expensive. Having a Canon MegaTank printer is a game changer for the consumer or small business owner. The days of needing an expensive laser printer to support a business are over. The Canon GX6021 provides the ease of use and reliability of an inkjet with the capacity of a laser. Ink is now affordable and lasts much longer than a hundred or so pages you get with cartridges. Canon gives you enough ink that they claim up to 6,000 pages B&W and up to 14,000 pages in color. That is revolutionary in the inkjet world. Canon even included the ability to replace the print heads separate from the ink and printer should they get worn out with continued use. Canon has a full line of apps that a person can use to never be out of touch with their printer. The ability to print remotely, from the cloud, etc is great. This is by no means a Canon thing, others have been doing it for years, it is a must have feature for business owners. While it works, it is much more cumbersome with the Canon than with Canon’s competitors. While the initial investment cost of a MegaTank printer is more than that of a regular inkjet printer, the payback is quick. The savings in ink alone, is a game changer for anyone running a small business or prints in any volume. There is no more worry of running out of ink during a print job. There is no need to buy remanufactured ink cartridges because the genuine ones are SOOOOOO expensive. There are no more messy toner cartridges of a laser printer to deal with. The Canon GX6021 MegaTank printer is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

So close to 5 stars- Better than the competition.
We purchased an Epson Ink Tank printer but found the screen was too small and the push button controls confusing. We gave it to our son. Doing some research the Cannon seemed to be strong where the Epson was weak. And it is. The scream and controls are clear and easy to understand. The paper feeder is also far more reliable. Only downside is it takes time to “wake up” and print. Fix that and my review goes to 5 Stars plus! I should also share that before the Epson we had a HP inkjet. I have sworn by their products for years but the last one was totally unreliable.
