LOTS OF PRINTS, PLAIN AND SIMPLE

If what you want from your inkjet printer is the ability to make lots of high-quality prints at a low cost, Canon has the printer for you. Introducing the Canon PIXMA G1200 MegaTank inkjet printer, an absolute mega performer. That’s because the PIXMA G1200 printer replacement inks do the work of up to 30 conventional ink cartridge sets1. That translates to 6,000 razor sharp black pages / 7,000 vivid colour pages2. Which means you won’t have to run out to buy ink for a long time because you won’t be running low anytime soon! Even better, the inks won’t dry out between uses because the ink delivery system is air-sealed. Plus, it features clear, front-facing, refillable ink tanks that make it easy to keep tabs on your ink supply. But print quantity isn’t the whole story, so is print quality, because the PIXMA G1200 printer uses hybrid ink formulations that create deep blacks and satisfyingly rich colours. The PIXMA G1200 printer even prints beautiful borderless photos3. For simply great output and lots of it, The Canon PIXMA G1200 MegaTank inkjet printer is quite simply the choice for you.

  • 1 30 ink cartridge sets is based on print yield of the replacement black and colour ink bottles as compared to the following standard-capacity cartridge sets: PG-245 Black Ink Cartridge and CL-246 Colour Ink Cartridge as of August 2016.

    2 Page yield of included ink bottles used for initial setup is lower than the replacement ink bottles, as a certain amount of ink is consumed to fill into the print head during the setup (charging the print head initially). Page yield is the estimated value based on Canon individual test method using the ISO/IEC 24712 chart and continuous printing simulation with the replacement ink bottles after initial setup. Page yield of colour inks is an average yield of cyan, magenta and yellow inks combined. Page yield varies significantly depending on content printed and other factors. Up to 6,000 (black) / 7,000 (colour) printed pages yields are approximate, based off document pages printed.

    3 Paper types NOT supported for borderless printing are as follows: Envelope, High Resolution Paper, T-Shirt Transfer, Photo Stickers.

    4 Document print speeds are the averages of ESAT in Office Category Test for the default simplex mode, ISO/IEC 24734. Photo print speed is based on the default setting using ISO/JIS-SCID N2 on Photo Paper Plus Glossy II and does not take into account data processing time on host computer. Print speed may vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, document complexity, print mode, page coverage, type of paper used etc. Copy speeds are the average of sFCOT and sESAT, ISO/IEC 29183. Copy speed may vary depending on document complexity, copy mode, page coverage, type of paper used etc. and does not take into account warming up time. See www.usa.canon.com/ipm for additional details.
