Title: Great quality and cost efficient
Review: Bought this to replace an old Epson all-in-one that still worked well but shut done unexpectedly when it said the waste ink pads were full. You can buy the parts but then need a code from Epson to reset. I actually got a code (only works with Windows) but it still insisted I bring it in for authorized service. Obviously no more Epson products in my home!There are fewer ink tank printers out there than regular cartridge printers, but it is well worth the cost and effort to find an ink tank printer such as this. Instead of 12 - 30 ml of ink in a typical cartridge (of which some is always wasted), you get 132 ml of each color and 167 ml black ink included with the printer. You can also see the ink level and can refill whenever you want, so no more frantic late night trips to Staples when you have a report due the next day.Setup is easier than it sounds. My computers and printer are all connected via wifi and each computer connects on its own to the printer. You initially fill the 4 ink tanks (bottles make it fool-proof) then print a page that it uses to check alignment. The instructions then tell you to download a program from Canon, which I did for my first computer. However, I skipped that step for my other computers (all Macs), as well as my phone, and they were all able to find the printer and connect almost immediately without having to download any additional programs or drivers. The downloaded Canon program facilitates printing and scanning, but really does nothing different or better than what already comes on the Mac.As others have mentioned, you need to go into settings and disable auto-off, so that the printer is able to respond to print jobs wirelessly. This uses minimal energy â less than a typical nightlight.Quality is great. I would have no concerns about using this for making handouts that contain print and graphics for business meetings. I've only printed photos on plain paper so far but they are vibrant and look very good. This machine comes with all pigment (as opposed to dye) ink. Pigment ink tends to cost a bit more, but the ink already comes included with the printer. Pigment ink also is more durable and UV resistant, and much less resistant to water smearing. (The HP tank printer that I looked at only used pigment ink for black, but dye ink for colors.) I purposely tried to smear the output from this printer with water, and was very pleased with the result.Scanning quality is very good and works with my Mac natively. And as expected, copy quality is also very good. If you need to change any settings, the touchscreen on the printer is bright and easy to use. One additional benefit of this machine is the rear printer slot which you can use for thick card stock that would typically not work in the paper tray.Overall, an excellent printer. The initial cost is higher, but the much lower ink costs make this a bargain in the long run. Highly recommended.

Title: High Quality and Reliability
Review: I've been in technology for 25 years, and anyone who has been on the end-user support side will tell you that printers are the bane of our existence. I've had this printer for a few months, used it heavily, and so far it hasn't made me want to chuck it out the window.I love the ink tanks. Ink capacity is impressive. The ink bottles that come with the printer are pretty huge. In comparison to the small cartridges that my previous printer used, this ink should last a LONG time (apparently full tanks should take you up to 3000 pages).Every print job runs, the printer is pretty quick, and print quality is impressive. Even the draft/economy print setting (lowest quality), which is what I normally use, looks pretty darn good. Better than previous printers that I have used.The scanning and copying function is easy to use and works every time I've needed it.I would say that this one is a winner. I can't believe I've come across a printer that I actually like!

Title: Mostly good
Review: I like the large ink reservoirs and it is generally a good printer. I have been disappointed when printing photographs on photo paper. the colors are not right and I am not sure if they can be adjusted. I have made some home made birthday cards and it printed pictures on them decently enough using a plain paper setting. The paper feed was able to handle the thickness of a birthday card. I had a little difficulty finding settings buried under submenus regarding using different paper sizes but once I figure that out it worked fine. Overall, a decent printer but I would not recommend it if you want to print a lot of photos.

Title: Great All in one printer for my home office
Review: This product replaced an HP All in One whose print head had given up after 10 years. I loved the HP and intended to find an HP replacement but when I saw what HP was offering these days, I was terribly disappointed at how cheap and flimsy the offerings were. The other downside was the continued price increase of HP cartridges. So, I started looking elsewhere, read a lot of reviews and ultimately settled on this Cannon GX 2020. It was easy to set up, just follow the instructions online, and it was up and running in less than an hour. It prints at a reasonable speed for me, does double sided operations, scans well, and print quality is quite good. Best of all, it has a document feeder, a very large paper tray, an ink tank, so no more expensive cartridges, and comes with a complete set of ink bottles for each color. I priced refills before I bought this machine and found the savings over HP cartridges to be very significant. So, all in all I am very satisfied with this printer. It's fairly quiet too and I can print from my phone as well as my desktop PC. Longevity is yet to be seen, since I have only had it for a couple of months, but it's a solid quality machine compared to everything HP and others are selling with flimsy plastic covers / parts, so it looks like it should last a long time. It looks good also next to my desk. Hard to go wrong for the price. I'm very satisfied
