Product details

Print large volumes of high-quality business documents while significantly saving on cost per page and total operating costs – no problem with this user-friendly 4-in-1 MegaTank multifunction system from the MAXIFY GX series, featuring ADF, LAN, and Wi-Fi.

Exceptional productivity, class-leading cost per page, and total operating costs. Cost per page refers to the expenses incurred when printing a single page. This amount is determined by dividing the cost of ink by the page yield.

Total operating costs are a calculation of a printer's expenses based on the initial purchase price of the hardware plus the ink costs over a specified period.

Low operating costs, high productivity. With a full set of ink bottles for up to 14,000 prints, this powerful MegaTank printer offers tremendous savings on total operating costs and cost per page for high-volume printing. It’s a smart investment for any home office.

Compatible apps and software. With the free Canon PRINT app, you can print documents, photos, and more directly from your mobile device, and with PosterArtist, you can quickly and easily create impressive posters and flyers yourself. With PIXMA Cloud Link, you can send scans directly to a popular cloud service or print from it.

The Canon Easy-PhotoPrint Editor transforms your favorite photos directly from the device or cloud storage into stylish, personalized gifts like cards and calendars.

The easy-to-use Easy-Layout Editor allows for free design of layouts for various documents before printing. Ideal for printing images, posters, web pages, and more.

The Maxify GX4050 prints just as cheaply and just as well as the test winner. It was even slightly faster in the speed measurements. The GX4050 is noticeably smaller than the GX7050. On the other hand, the equipment has been economised: the display is smaller. In addition, the small Maxify only has one paper cassette. Not so nice: When printing, the Canon is very loud at 17.1 sone.

  • Negativetangled operation

The differences between the two office multifunctional devices are more in the details: If you have little space and mainly print text and business graphics, the very compact Epson EcoTank ET-5170 is the best choice. If you want a lot of flexibility in the paper feed and also print brochures and photos more often, the Canon Maxify GX4050 is the better choice...
