Good7/10Mid-range

Canon is a solid all-rounder and a top choice for home photo printing, with MegaTank models cutting running costs sharply. Its cheapest cartridge inkjets are cheap to buy but expensive to run.

Good at

  • PIXMA inkjets are strong at photo printing
  • MegaTank (PIXMA G) models have very low running costs
  • Compact laser models (imageCLASS / i-SENSYS) are reliable

Weak at

  • Cartridge PIXMAs have expensive ink per page
  • Wi-Fi setup and apps get frequent owner complaints
  • Budget models are slow and noisy
