I just bought this printer and I found your videos thank you so much for the info it’s very helpful. Thanks a lot for the link for the cartridges too it’s a lot cheaper than the Canon website about half as much!!

[@BestPrinters]

You are so welcome!

[@ec6741]

Thanks for the review and printing with photo paper :-) I'm really surprised of the print quality with only 4 tanks. In your opinion which Epson EcoTank would be equivalent in terms of printing quality?

[@marypatriciadomhan3853]

Thanks for this tutorial! I do love this printer.

[@BestPrinters]

You are so welcome!

[@GeneralElectricCNC]

Love the tank design, but when you said that it doesn't print double-sided it hit me in the gut! Thank you very much for the review!

[@Snowdragon.]

I asked Brandon if you could print only even number pages first then place the stack back in and then print odd numbers.

[@BestPrinters]

Sorry

[@lucasgilbert1719]

@@Snowdragon. you can. easily

[@AImotivationandtech4u]

Very good printer

[@lifehackertips]

I have a 8 color printer and this canon g3200 looks just as good

[@BestPrinters]

Thanks for sharing!

[@userbosco]

Good review, thanks! I've owned a PIXMA for around 10 years now, but it's finally given up the ghost. One of the best things about my old Canon was the ink was super stable, and maintained it's original quality for years. I have photos in my office that are exposed to indirect sunlight that must be 8-10 years old and look fantastic still. So, my concern is will this ink hold up like the cartridge inks do?

[@BestPrinters]

Thanks for sharing, I believe this ink should hold up well.

[@Snowdragon.]

Hey Brandon, could you not have the Canon print even number pages and then have them in the back to print odd number pages, so that you have a double print sheet ???

[@BestPrinters]

Yes you can do that.

[@jaronimoh]

Does this do borderless for 8.5 x 11" prints?

[@apeel2008]

Can you do a advise us if you needed to download any drivers / software to make this compatible with MacOS? Is it supported right out of the box, or did you have to download some drivers?

[@BestPrinters]

Drivers should be available online.

[@creolepie]

Hi I was hoping you can help can you please share your printer settings for photo paper, my photos are printing Super bright and not much detail. I have the exact same printer you have really need help

[@SBlover1994]

How does the printer know whether to use the tanks or cartridges?

[@doreensfav.8735]

Hi I need help haha I been messing with this printer all day and reading the error and I still can't get it down I'm gonna lose my mind. Can you help me out hopefully 🤞

[@wobu5361]

cartridges are “remanufactured” ink is bulk ink”. it is not called re manufactured ink.

[@moi-meme442]

4:15 - yes, it is Brazil and the name of the statue is indeed Christ the redeemer. This picture seems to be from the botanic garden of Rio de Janeiro, AKA “wonderful city”. It is indeed one of the prettiest cities in the world and most people fall completely in love with the beauty of the place, the vibe of the people and their amazing culture.

[@BestPrinters]

Awesome, thank you for sharing that!

I am getting a blue haze over or under the image I am scanning, Cleaned the glass but it is still there. Colors are faded on regular paper but are better on photo paper

[@AussieMumVLOGS]

Omg thank you! Hi! I live in Australia and Im about to buy a canon G3620 or G3660 however, i went into 2 stores and neither of the sales associates could figure out whether the canon can print 🖨 on a 8.5 x 11 inch size. He said it goes up to A4 and he wasnt sure if the 8.5 x 11 would fit. So this letter paper 8.5 x 11 inch definitely fits in the printer??? Thank you!!!

[@BestPrinters]

Yes!

[@phenomenal_woman]

What about a Mac desk top, will the pre-sets for photo show up on it?

[@BestPrinters]

Yes just press command P

[@daveforgot127]

I am confused about pre-sets. How do I figure that out? I am running on a Dell Lap top and justed started using my new G3260 Canon printer and all the high quality photos print out faded. I ran the clean noozle check and the deep cleaning that took up 1/4 of all my bulk ink. I don't even know where it went which scares me too. Any suggestions.

[@BestPrinters]

Yes when you go to print a photo from your dell, right click the image and you should see some option for print settings. Or something along those lines. That is how you get to presets. As for the lost ink it would have gone to the maintenance box.

[@supermario1348]

I just purchased this printer and my photos look dull and some colors are not correct. Can you make a video on how to fix that

[@BestPrinters]

You have to make sure to use the right printer settings through your pc.

[@Misterio_11]

I saw this printer at target and I read the information on the box, it says that you can print borderless photos. Is that true?

[@f62darkstar]

yes

[@summayahk6576]

Hi, i need a printer for digitally art work. I can see you have reviewed these two printers epson expression xp-970 And CANON PIXMA G3520 MegaTank Which one do you think prints better quality art? Thanks

[@glitchboss420]

dont get the Canon G3260 it prints red and black together its crap thought i was using bad settings tried everything and still printed the black and red together.. so i went and traded it in for a new one thinking that the first one was defective but nope the other one does the same...

Can it print edge to edge? Looking print custom trading cards given its dimensional capability but I don’t want a white border around them

[@BestPrinters]

You can always change the settings to get a border around whatever you are printing.

[@amaxreviews8831]

Hey i have a question i have used this for printing decals on both glossy or matte paper but i notice the colors gets washed out you think using it on photo setting wohld help ?

[@BestPrinters]

Yes definitely

[@noorallawati5390]

I tried to test print on plain paper from my phone, glossy paper wasn’t available at the moment and I wanted to try my new canon g3240.. it was ghostly white and horrible! Will try again once I get the glossy paper =‘)

Adjust the presets.

Right

I bought this printer for my art prints and stationery. What is the maximum card stock weight that this printer can handle?

I am not sure, the spec sheet on google should tell you.

Can I fix the pale photo problem even though I’m printing from my iPhone?

The iPhone presets will not product good quality prints. Try from a pc.

[@Yshral]

I have the G3202 printing from a Mac m1 and the margins are off I’ve tried everything and it prints the bottom off of the right side off ?

Try printing with a different device. Its usually all in the settings.

perform a clean printhead under the maintenance menu

I’m having this problem too and I’ve done everything possible and the images are still really faded 😒🤯

[@DaveRetchless]

I have the same printer and it prints really faded pics. They are not even close to this video. I am returning it. I tired all of the calibration settings, etc. I have tried with photo paper matte and premium glossy. Maybe it sat on the shelf too long....idk.

[@Roadsurfer2k11]

@@p.peacock7403 did you ever fix this issue? I'm contemplated either this printer or g620. Someone on amazon reviews said they fixed quality by unchecked the icm box in printer settings. High print setting on 100+ whiteness paper or decent photo like the canon glossy 2

[@luucamNY]

It could be printing in a different color space for example like sRGB

[@Davi-did]

Does it print 4x6 photos?

[@BestPrinters]

Yes

[@jeffgomzalez5597]

I bought this printer kzbin.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 to replace an aging HP printer. It is just used for casual home printing so I don't need anything more. Installation went easily though the HP Smart Printing doesn't work well with our laptops - having to select the actual device. Will have to see how the HP Instant Ink program works out. Plus haven't been able to set up printing from smartphone yet - either direct or WiFi

[@yolpal3171]

It say online that it have doble side printer but it doesn’t show the option

[@f62darkstar]

I have this printer...it does not have an auto duplexer but you can print double sided if you select "double side print" in the options....after the first side prints it will instruct you to flip the paper over and load it back into the printer then clik print again. So even tho it does not have an auto duplexer....you can double side print...it's just done manually....hope this helps.
