Canon PIXMA G6020 All-in-One Supertank Wireless (Megatank) Printer, Copier and Scan with Mobile Printing, Black, Works with Alexa

I am a landman so I travel extensively in the field and need to produce documents swiftly and efficiently. I chose this printer to try and find the best fit for size, print speed, scanning (no sheet-feed but size vs how often anyway?) and print quality. I rarely use the duplex function but it is handy if a bit slow. A 32 page 8 1/2 x 11 document double sided onto 16 sheets will take over 5 minutes but it is ready to staple. I typically produce legal documents, aerial maps, engineering drawings and other exhibits which tend to devour cartridges and make my misc. costs noticeable. This printer paid for itself in 3 months. However, it is a but too bulky for my Craftsman or Dewalt travel pack out systems. I left it in the camper all summer near the project and had no issues since it did not need to be moved much. Come fall I got an Epson Mega-tank and it was just slightly smaller (at a loss of duplex). It fit the Dewalt packout so I transferred the Canon back to my home office so it didn't freeze.I sent the Epson to the field and the next day I need to print an exhibit right as I am ready to head out the door for the week and I am behind schedule. I turn to the Canon and find that the color is mostly clogged. It had been a month or two since I last used it so I did the cleaning and deep cleaning and could not unclog the print head. Frustrated, and with no time to mess with it anymore, I flipped it off and left it under the desk upside down and took off to the field for the week. Upon returning and being much calmer... I righted the offending peripheral and it seemed good to go for the abuse. All the various trays withstood impact with the vinyl floor and after sitting a full 180 degrees upside down for 4 days there was no leaking or lost ink. This thing is a solid machine and I'm glad it doesn't leak.As to the clogged print head, I began delving in the forum on Canon and I find they sell replacement print heads but they were currently sold out. Hmmm... Not to be deterred, armed with a degree in Electrical Engineering more than a few years ago I dove in. It was actually pretty easy to follow the cave man drawings under the printer top and pop up the hinged upper seal and slip out the respective print head as you would a cartridge from before. Then I cleaned it using cleaning agents with que tips or dipping in a small reservoir, dried it well with a paper towel then replaced it and did a clean then deep clean with sketchy results but after several cycles it began printing fine once again. As with all printers, steady use is needed to avoid this. I guess it is good to know for a cost you can replace the print head. Now I'm thinking it might be good to have a back up.

Have had several Canon Printer products over the years, also Brother, HP, IBM, Printers, in both business and personal applications.Toner was the preferred media for printing, and ink jets weren't up to par for fast or clean printing, and were expensive to run large volumes.This printer changed my mind. I obtained this for SOHO, and due to it's ability to just refill the tank instead of purchasing expensive cartridges of either toner or ink jet (the printers were always cheap because the brains of the printer was really in the cartridge!).Over the years we've printed thousands upon thousands of pages, quickly and efficiently using this printer. I keep my Macs/iPhone in color mode, and get what I want, even if it's a B/W page...the printer doesn't waste color dye to print.Consumption has been extremely low, and the big tank for black ink is great. Even color printing, the color tanks have only needed filling once in a while...(your mileage may vary).I've not had any issues using this as an air printer or network printer. Set up and function is on par with most vague menu's and html page setups of all printers...they're all lacking, but this one is pretty straightforward.It maintains a signal well on wifi, but also has a cat 5 jack. The scanner feature works well, and offers the same features as most in this price point, and the scan quality is good when adjusted for things like contrast, etc.The noise level is very quiet, the pages are printed fast and dry. It's lasted longer than any other printer I've used, as most get obsolete or show their age after 3 or 4 years. This one appears to have another 4-5 years left at soonest.My only complaints:-LCD panel is hard to read in low-light, it needs a backlight. It is adjustable to get out of the way if it's used as a desk top. It's lightweight and easy to position on any desk or stand.-Paper tray capacity is small, and the way it holds paper is rather loose and not a clean stack...although it's never seemed to matter, it grabs a sheet easily.An excellent asset for our needs, and it produces high quality crisp and dry printing, in two sided or single sided printing (400 page tax returns!)The photo quality is also excellent, printing on glossy or matte, and it can handle postcards and envelopes easily in its rear feed. It also produces high quality business cards on card stock.Filling is easy, the hardest part is getting the bottles open without splattering something pulling the foil seals off...but filling the tank is mess free. The printer lets you know when it needs attention, and the clear window tanks are easy to read at a glance as well.To date, I've had zero issues with misfeeds, paper jams (really? NO paper jams??? yeah, none) or any streaking or over inking of pages. The print head is laser printer quality in an ink jet.I waited to review this for a while, since it's hard to get behind any printers that are either expensive up front, or run up the costs down the road. We've used OEM dye/ink, and have also had good luck with aftermarket inks.Hope this was helpful to you...
