Editorial note

The Canon Pixma G3520 MegaTank stands out for its economical printing system, allowing for significant ink cost reduction while ensuring optimal print quality with a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 DPI. Its modern and compact design facilitates integration into various work environments, and it offers features such as borderless printing, which is an asset for those seeking a professional finish. However, some drawbacks may hinder the user experience. The lack of automatic duplex copying and the limitation of scanning to a single side can make document processing longer and less convenient. Additionally, while the black printing speed is acceptable at 9.1 ipm, the color printing speed of 5 ipm is relatively slow compared to other models on the market. The weight of 6400 g may also pose challenges for those who need to frequently move the printer. Regarding evaluation scores, the user experience is generally positive with a score of 78, but color performance could be improved, scoring 72. The design receives a good score of 80, while the value for money is very favorable at 85, thanks to the MegaTank system. Although the usage is generally intuitive, missing automatic features, such as duplex copying, have led to a usability score of 70. The available features, while solid, do not cover all needs, resulting in a score of 75. In summary, the Canon Pixma G3520 MegaTank is a wise choice for users looking for an economical and efficient printer, but it could benefit from some improvements in practical features.
