Canon PIXMA G3411

Advantages: High quality photo printing (calibrated monitor, photo from a full-frame SLR camera, native paints and paper), scanning (resolution is higher than the human eye can see), photocopying, low cost of consumables compared to printers without CISS.

Disadvantages: The price of the printer, the dust collector (black, you can see every speck of dust and a huge hole in the middle for the paper exit), the slow operation of the MFP, you can stain the rubber caps of paint cans if you move the printer and fill air bubbles.

Comment: Cool thing, CISS is built-in, photo and text are super, scanner and copier are slow but clear, 2 cans of paint for 2000 + 2000 pages for text (although the manufacturer claims 6000 + 6000 at 5% coverage) with pigment ink that will not smudge contact with water. 3 color cans with water-based ink for 2000 10x15 photos (7000 from the manufacturer). Color rendition is excellent with native consumables. It is difficult to get dirty during the first fill, but if you move the printer, the rubber caps on top will be in the paint. If you print without borders, then the printer may be blocked due to an overflow of the diaper, then unlocking and replacement in the service. With Windows 10, I easily connected via Wi Fi (a disc in the kit or firewood from the site), there is no support for MacOS.Print over the air from a tablet or smartphone via an app (Android and iOS).

Advantages: price (I took it for the promotion), wifi, print quality

Disadvantages: stupid manual and no printout of a general brief explanation of the buttons

Comment: I bought a little cheaper than 13 thousand + there was still a share from canon and 2500 r should be returned. I read various reviews and opted for this model. I don’t regret it yet. At first, of course, it was difficult to figure out what's what. Finding the description of the buttons is not easy. For example, red is a cancellation. And the lowest is when the paper runs out and you have to continue later. I was also very strained by setting up work on wifi, although I am a former system administrator. Well, okay, the printer seems to be installed and works on wifi. And on the trail. day the router gives it a different IP address and the computer does not see it, you send the job to the printer, it freezes, it is not deleted, you need to overload the computer and the hassle begins. As a result, I got tired of this and assigned the printer a static ip 192.168.0.111 (see Printer status information \ Remote user interface \ Printer information - Log in - System / mode settings - Network settings - Other settings - TCP / IP settings - IPv4 - enter ip 192.168.0.111 and gateway 192.168.0.1). After that, he began to work normally and there were no more problems. For example, I began to wake up myself when you send a task (turn on the auto-off and auto-on settings, which are very convenient). There is an option for silent operation - like it prints quietly, but slowly, I have not tried it, I prefer faster. I printed colored flyers on it - I recommend setting the Draft quality in the settings, then it will be more economical. I printed A4 photos - I liked the quality. I thought the speed would be faster, but it turns out about a minute per sheet, pictures even longer. But speed is not so important in general, the main thing is the price. So far, it seems quite economical. Scanned via wifi with FastStone Image Viewer. I also recommend it as a photo viewer. The quality is good. You can also print documents and photos from your phone, but somehow there is no special need for this. There is no usb cable included, but if there is wifi, then it is not needed.

Advantages: Great printer. According to reviews, I was preparing for a hell of a setting, I looked overdone, I set it up so that even from the refrigerator you can send it to print))

Disadvantages: To automatically turn on when sending a job to it, there is not enough tray with the constant presence of paper. Still would not mind if they screwed the "scan" button to it

Comment: So far, I'm happy with everything, let's see how it shows itself in operation.

Advantages: The main advantage of the MFP is its resource of the filling material and the cost of printing one page (retail printing of a color A4 sheet is 50-60 rubles. Calculating the approximate cost of one printed page on this device will not be difficult). Plus the price, although in this price category there are MFPs from competitors, but without WiFi.

Disadvantages: The user manual is only on CD or online, but it is written in such a way that no user would understand at all, especially those who can register only on social networks. Can't Canon LOVE its customers and users so much ?!

Comment: I chose the MFP for a long time, and the scales tipped first towards Canon, then towards Epson. Still, I decided to buy a PIXMA G3411. To celebrate, after the purchase, I came home, unpacked, filled in ink, etc. Printing from a PC went well, but then it was necessary to start setting up a wireless connection to wifi and it began! I do not consider myself a teapot in using PCs, programs and office equipment, but in the process of setting up a bit of doubt entered my head. As a result of five hours of dancing with tambourines, calling good spirits, it turned out to be tuned! Now happy as a well-fed boa constrictor.Dear Canon employees, can't you make wireless setup more convenient and include a printed setup guide? Before that, I used HP (there is still printing), the setting of which took 5-10 minutes, not 5 hours!

Advantages: Print quality, the possibility of borderless printing, scanning speed and quality, appearance, ease of refueling

Disadvantages: After the office b / w laser, it seems that printing color images takes forever

Comment: The flat top surface has become a bed for the cat. For scanning, it's better to download the native Canon software instead of the built-in one in Windows 10 - problems with contrast will disappear

Advantages: Easy refueling, cheap non-original ink (750 rubles for 4 bottles.) There is WIFI and a convenient application on the phone, fast connection. The case is not glossy and therefore prints are not visible. Convenient ink monitoring through windows. Photo printing is quite decent, a drop of 2 pl. The black color is a pigment, which means that the text cannot be washed off with water. Service is cheaper than laser!

Disadvantages: All control and settings from the phone via the application via wifi, small b / w display, no automatic two-sided printing. No USB cable included. Doesn't work with MAC OS, keep in mind!

Comment: Printheads are available for sale in 2700 color and 2600 black, the printer is essentially eternal! Their resource is not yet clear, time will tell. Epson, for example, is not removable, so this is + to Canon. Now it is the best MFP on the market at a price of 10,000 rubles. with WIFI so you can safely take it.

Advantages: Print quality Scan quality Possibility to "hook up" to WiFi Cheap consumables Continuous ink supply system (CISS) Device control via the application on the phone Convenient control panel on OS Windows (comes with the driver)

Disadvantages: It takes a long time to "prepare" for printing

Comment: For their money, just a "gun" We put it in the organization, it works flawlessly. I advise admins who are thinking about maintaining the print park :)

Advantages: Scanning speed, cheap consumables, decent quality at maximum settings

Disadvantages: Printing speed, native software is not the most convenient, there is not enough duplex printing

Comment: Significantly slower than the old HP OJ Pro 8100, black is black only at maximum quality, on regular gray and even slower on draft than HP. Lightweight, relatively quiet. The software is tricky, you can print and scan from the smartphone application, but there are not many settings.The photos are unclear in my opinion, but I print on cheap photo paper (cactus), if you choose more expensive, the clarity and quality of black will probably improve. Since I use it often, I will supplement the review.

Advantages: CISS

Disadvantages: WiFi periodically falls off, Until I won.

Comment: It's easy to set up. No dancing with tambourines. Win10 took off, Android too. It seems to me that even my daughter could do it. Everything is automatic.
