If you regularly print high volumes, want to reduce printing costs, or need a versatile printer for both work and creativity, a MegaTank printer is an excellent choice. Unlike traditional printers that use replaceable cartridges, MegaTank printers feature integrated refillable ink tanks that dramatically reduce your ongoing printing costs while delivering exceptional quality.
Whether you're looking for a high-volume, low-cost printing solution for your business, a reliable device to keep up with school projects, or an easy-to-use printer for everyday home needs, MegaTank delivers efficiency, ease of use, and long-lasting ink in a hassle-free package. Backed with a 2-year warranty, you can print with confidence, knowing your printer is built to perform.
MegaTank printers, such as the Canon PIXMA G3630 MegaTank use built-in, refillable ink tanks instead of traditional cartridges, significantly reducing long-term printing costs. A full set of ink bottles can print thousands of pages, offering a much higher yield than standard ink cartridges. This means fewer trips to buy ink and more time focusing on your work or creative projects.
Better yet, these cost savings don’t come at the expense of quality. MegaTank printers deliver vibrant colours with dye-based inks and crisp, professional-looking documents with dedicated pigment black ink. Even small text and fine details appear sharp and clear, making them ideal for a range of printing needs.
MegaTank printers feature integrated ink tanks that are visible from the front, so you can quickly check levels and refill as needed.
Refilling is a mess-free process thanks to uniquely designed ink bottles that prevent spills and ensure each bottle only fits the correct tank. Many models, like the MAXIFY GX4060 MegaTank also have an automatic stop function, preventing overfilling and making ink replenishment straightforward for both home and office users.
Did you know? Canon's key-shaped bottle design ensures you can never pour the wrong ink into a tank - each bottle only fits its corresponding colour tank, making refills foolproof even for tech novices.
Beyond high-quality documents, MegaTank printers support a variety of media types and sizes, from standard A4 sheets to specialty papers.
• Creative Projects: Print borderless photos, stickers, business cards, banners, and even iron-on transfers for custom clothing using the PIXMA G3680 MegaTank.
• Office & School Needs: Produce professional reports, presentations, and marketing materials with ease using the PIXMA G4680 MegaTank.
• Customisation: Use specialty papers like magnetic or restickable photo paper for personalised projects that go beyond ordinary prints.
With this versatility, a MegaTank printer is more than just a document printer - it’s a creative tool for businesses, students, and families.
Tip: For best photo results, try Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy II with your MegaTank printer for professional-quality images that resist fading for decades.
Canon's PIXMA G-Series and MAXIFY GX-series MegaTank printers are all equipped with built-in Wi-Fi which makes it easy to get connected and start printing from a computer or mobile device. Controlling all your printing and maintenance needs from your smartphone couldn't be easier with the help of the Canon PRINT app. MegaTank printers are compatible with Apple AirPrint and Mopria for Android, so users on the same network as their printer can simply connect and print via their smart device's in-built printing protocol.
Other convenient features include:
• Auto Power On/Off: Saves energy when not in use and powers on automatically when a print job is sent. This adds to their convenience, particularly if you need to print documents remotely to a Wi-Fi & Cloud-enabled model.
• Large Paper Capacity: Many models, such as the MAXIFY GX7160 MegaTank, offer high-capacity rear-feed paper trays to minimise refills. Entry-level MegaTank printers offer a rear-feed paper capacity of 100 sheets, so you can spend more time working and less time restocking the printer.
• User-Replaceable Maintenance Cartridge: Reduces downtime by allowing easy at-home maintenance.
• Quick Setup: Download the Canon PRINT app before setting up your printer for the smoothest connection experience. The app guides you through the setup process and helps you get printing in minutes.

1 Page yield of ink bottle used for initial setup is lower than a replacement as a certain amount of ink is used to fill the print head during setup. Page yield is the estimated value based on Canon's individual test method using the ISO/IEC 24712 colour chart and continuous printing simulation with the replacement ink bottles after initial setup. Black and colour page yields are not to be combined. Page yield varies significantly depending on contents printed and other factors.
