Good purchase with a couple of small annoyances
The good: Print quality is good. Setup was easy. Ink costs will be lower than my HP8600. Takes up less space. The annoying: Printer powers down on its own after a certain amount of time rather than going to sleep. This will probably save electricity, but also often results in print errors because the computer can't find the printer until it has been manually powered up again. This is more of a pain for family members who are printing from other computers in the house and have to go to the home office to turn the printer on. Also, the delay from the time I hit print on the computer and the time the doc starts printing seems longer than it did with the HP 8600 that was replaced. Overall I am happy with the purchase, but I am having to adjust my processes a bit and get used to the way the new unit works after many years with the prior printer.

Premium Printing Experience
I do plenty of printing at my work from home office & need high quality legal document prints which the Maxify GX6021 printer provides. It is very easy to set up, comes with a large amount of ink: 6,000 Black / 14,000 Color pages per full ink bottle & offers outstanding print quality for photos and documents with fast print time. This printer is an excellent choice for the work at home/small business folks. Negatives: No faxing capability (not a deal breaker for me since I rarely use this) The colored ink covers that you pull up to replace ink are on the flimsy side. Setup was a better experience than my prior printers you have a choice to follow paper instructions or touch-screen display. Both are easy to follow & software automatically updates drivers & connect to your WIFI network, I ran into no issues. The very capable & compact printer uses bottles of ink poured into tanks in the printer instead of cartridges, this approach gives you a cost per page of less than 2 cents for printing in either black or color. A far greater long-term savings than with cartridges. Overall build quality of device is good except for the previous mentioned ink covers over the refill tanks. Bottomline this is great compact printer for a small office that reliably turns out nice-looking prints.

Canon Turns Printing Into an Affordable Pleasure
The Canon MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 offers beautiful color and black & white printing at the lowest cost per page - as much as 80% lower than high-yield laser cartridges! Printing at a cost of less than 2 cents-per-page relieves stress from printing cost & frequently running out of high-priced ink worries. The MAXIFY GX6021 employs a 4-Color Pigment Ink System, producing crisp color & black & white printing. The "Mega Tanks" included with this machine print up to 6,000 Black & 14,000 Color pages! I was concerned about spilling ink as I poured these 4) cartridges into the printer. Not to worry! The nozzles are built in such a way where the ink container must make full contact with the printer to release the ink, making it virtually impossible to leak or spill even a drop of ink. More Canon Quality! There are 2) places to load paper in this printer: the bottom tray holds up to 250 sheets of paper & the rear compartment holds 100 sheets. This high capacity is appropriate, since it prints at high speed: up to 24 Impressions per minute black & 15.5 Impressions per minute color. The touch-sensitive color display is crisp & clear & gives you full control of options without a computer. The only issue I found with this printer is: by default, it shuts itself off after several hours of non-use. When shut off, it no longer receives WiFi print commands without going to the printer & pressing the Power On button. To eliminate this inconvenience, select Menu on the display, choose Device Settings: ECO: Turn Auto Power OFF. CONCLUSION: The Canon MAXIFY GX6021 offers fantastic quality printing at the lowest cost & is a premium quality-built machine. It earns my highest recommendation.

Great Printer
Love this printer! Very easy to set up. Have not printed photos yet.

Higher Quality Printing
Printer has tank ink feature with pigment ink for higher quality printing. Letters and graphics look great. Lots of features and easy to use. Canon support website has a WiFi assistant download that makes Mac AirPrint easier to set up and our Mac computers recognized the printer without issue. Quiet operation and reasonably fast. Canon builds a good product and hopefully this one will last along time.

Good unit, but not for the computer challenged
Scan & print functions are great. But, the machine takes too long to warm up (it's not always on; it has to be started manually and only stays on for a period of time if idle). And, the instructions are awful. It took me a while to find the scan control in my program directory (I moved it to the screen later). Despite those flaws, I'd buy it again

Canon MAXIFY AIO Printer a Standout in its Field
Canon MAXIFY GX6021 wireless AIO (All In One) Inkjet Printer is full of pleasant surprises both homes and small offices. This is Canon’s newest entry in the MegaTank category that is also popular with other major inkjet printer makers. Its heritage and pedigree, and now its specs and performance aim to reclaim Canon’s glorious recent past in the highly competitive inkjet printer space. Canon engineers and product designers have been working overtime! From the product box and the manner in which the printer is packed in a sturdy, reusable bag with handles for easy lift-out to the smart product features at every turn, this multifunction printer is something to behold. Here are just some of the product highlights according to Canon - The MAXIFY GX6021 is the newest upgrade to the company’s MAXIFY line that prints, copies and scans, sporting a 50-page ADF and enough pigmented ink in the box for a full fill of black, cyan, magenta and yellow in each reservoir. Canon’s pigmented ink promises the best performance when compared to other makers’ non-pigmented inks. Each bottle is keyed to the matching color and unique shape of the opening to assure mistake-proof ink loading. Canon’s pigmented ink is resistant to highlighters and is said to produce sharp text and documents. Print up to 6,000 Black/14,000 Color pages with a single set of inks. Automatic duplex printing and scanning from the printer software using computer or mobile device. Reduction and enlargement. Connectivity can be Wi-Fi, direct USB or Ethernet on the local network. This versatility is not common on all competitors’ models at this category. The front-loading pull-out paper tray can hold up to 250 sheets of 8-1/2 x 11 paper as well as European sizes. A vertically-oriented rear tray is available to hold up to an additional 100 sheets of paper. The rear tray is also handy for photo paper and other thick papers. Individual pages can be scanned and copied from the platen. An adjustable, front-facing 2.7-inch color LCD touch screen displays all the settings and remaining ink. Mobile printing is achieved through the free CanonPRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app for iOS and Android phones. Apple AirPrint is supported. A printer driver is available for Linux computers. Print speeds are said to be up to 24 ipm (Inches Per Minute) Black and 15.5 ipm color. This is an Energy Star partner printer, consuming very little electricity in all modes. A USB port on the front of the printer may be used for direct printing from a USB stick. Optical resolution is up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. This is more than enough for general use. Printing text documents at 300 dpi produces very good results. Even photo printing at 600 dpi usually yields excellent results. Remember, this is not a dedicated photo printer. The printer works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. MAXIFY printers are designed with a replaceable Maintenance Cartridge as well as replaceable Print Heads. The former is of particular note and interest. All inkjet printers occasionally, automatically perform a maintenance procedure whereby some ink is expressed through the heads in order to keep them from becoming dry or clogged, which can lead to inaccurate printing. Perhaps you have heard the sound of this as it occurs on other inkjet printers. They all do it. That ink has to go somewhere! Other printer makers of which I am aware spritz the ink onto a pad, often called a “diaper” in an area below the print heads. The pad can become super saturated and can even leak, making a mess of the mechanism that is nearly impossible to clean. Canon engineers designed their maintenance cycle to move the print heads to one side and over the Maintenance Cartridge. All the ink is held in the replaceable cartridge so there will be no mess. Cartridge replacement is at a very low cost and is easily removed, and the user is alerted when replacement is needed. From the same company that brought us so many industry-leading film, digital & video cameras & lenses, camcorders, scanners, projectors, healthcare products, binoculars, professional and large format printers and more, Canon’s worldwide product design and manufacturing excellence is on display here. For consumers in need of the addition of fax capability, look to the MAXIFY GX7021. Both models share the same small desktop length and width footprint. **WHAT’S IN THE BOX** • Canon MAXIFY GX6021, power cord • Full set of Canon pigmented ink • Documentation **THE SETUP** Carefully pore over the paperwork for the best possible user experience! Start with the included Getting Started pamphlet. Use the QR codes that lead to more in-depth setup and how-to instruction. Install software from the Canon Website. Load the ink. Load some paper. Download and install the app. Set up Wi-Fi. Print a test page with automatic printhead adjustment. And now, it’s time to . . . **PUT IT TO THE TEST** I always begin evaluating print quality with plain inkjet paper and plain copy paper. They are not the same! In most instances, including here, print quality is better with the slightly heavier inkjet paper. The brand is not so important. Print a document, a plain old black & white document created in the word processor of choice. Print in draft mode and then in increasingly higher quality settings to see the differences. THIS IS NOT A SPEEDY PRINTER. As with ALL inkjet printers at this end of the business, print speed is a factor of the power of the host computer that makes the source material ready to print. Other factors include the selected print quality, the speed of the wireless network, if printing is wireless, and the complexity of that which is to be printed. In my experience, speed is relative and the print speed of THIS printer is “normal.” Do not buy an inkjet printer if fast printing at high quality is a requirement. Disappointment is assured! There are better ways to achieve fast, high-quality color document printing, but it is costly. I did not test with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Print a colorful page, perhaps from a briefing slide or familiar website that has some color on it. Be sure the computer monitor has been calibrated for accuracy. Check. If photo paper is available, print a familiar photo, or two or three. Printing 8x10 photos at high quality is very slow, but the results are worth the wait for occasional use. I would not recommend photo printing on a regular basis. It takes too long and uses a lot of ink. **PRO TIP** A better solution is to upload images, whether scanned or from a camera, to an account at a big box store or national brand pharmacy offering photo printing services. There, photos can be printed using the same process as if printing from film, in all the popular sizes, in a variety of photo finishes, for much less than the cost of printing on ANY inkjet printer. Most stores can ship photos to you if the location is inconvenient for pickup. I printed 4x6 and 8x10 photos at 600 dpi from high quality digital camera photos. Looks good! I printed from a USB stick. Document printing. Check. Note the sound while printing. Is it loud? No, it is not! Print using the mobile app from iOS. Check. Duplex and simplex scanning from the ADF and single document scanning from the platen. Check. Though many parts are plastic, the fit and finish are excellent and the printer has the feel of high quality. Not a lightweight at about 26 pounds, it feels solid and substantial. I like that it doesn’t walk about while printing as lightweight printers may tend to do. This Canon MAXIFY GX6021 passes my VALUE test with flying colors answering the question as to whether it is worth the cost. Supplies are not exorbitantly priced and generic, so-called “compatible” ink is available priced even more reasonably. **CONCLUSION** No complaints. Only praise. Highly recommended. Perfect? Hardly, but . . . for what it does and in consideration of the VALUE equation test, choosing this Canon AIO is sure to please. **WARRANTY** Manufacturer’s 3-YEAR or 80,000 PAGES LIMITED WARRANTY
