New efficient and productive models offer a range of ideal print solutions for homes, offices and small businesses
Sydney, AUSTRALIA – 24 January 2023: Canon Australia today announces the expansion of its MAXIFY range for those working at home, or in small businesses, with the MAXIFY GX3060 and MAXIFY GX4060. Built with collaboration, efficiency and productivity in mind, the expanded series is ideal for reaching a wide range of needs within different workspaces – whether its hybrid, working from home or running a small business.
Today, alongside these new models, Canon expands its MegaTank range further with PIXMA G4670 and PIXMA G3670 Series – featuring three new fast, high-quality, refillable ink tank printers, ideal for families wanting to make savings on home printing.
MAXIFY GX3060 and MAXIFY GX4060
Space saving and cost-efficient
Equipped with MegaTank refillable ink tank technology, both models are highly efficient and productive. They are easy to maintain and easy to use – saving time to focus on other business matters. Downtime is reduced with high volume printing of up to 14,000 pages from a set of colour ink bottles¹ – or up to 21,000 pages when used in the economy print mode² – while large paper capacity of up to 350 sheets (250-sheet cassette and 100-sheet rear feed) and a user replaceable maintenance cartridge reduce the need to send the printer away for servicing.
With small business needs and home working at the heart of these new printers, both the MAXIFY GX3060 and MAXIFY GX4060 feature fast copying and scanning and include a 4-colour pigment-based refillable ink tank system. Both models are housed in a compact desktop design, which are a better fit for smaller home office spaces.
High productivity and collaboration
When hybrid working between the home and office – or in a shared small business environment – fast printing speeds of 18.0 ipm for black (mono) printing and 13.0 ipm for colour in both printer models reduce waiting time in between prints.
Featuring 4-colour pigment ink, both models are ideal for high-quality business prints on a variety of media types³. Canon has exclusively developed pigment inks to print with crisp and easily readable black text, with highly visible colour text and graphics – alongside colour reproduction contrast improvements over previous MAXIFY GX models. The all-pigment inks also resist bleeding and blurring, so documents can be highlighted and shared with confidence that they will remain professional-looking.
The high-capacity cassette, equipped with a window, can store 250 sheets of plain paper as well as a 100 sheet rear tray, which removes the need to constantly refill each printer. The printers also feature a flat rear paper tray, supporting a variety of media types and sizes, along with another rear flat tray for paperboard feeding – covering a wide range of business needs with a single printer.
Additionally, the new MAXIFY GX models support Chromebook, with direct printing and scanning from Chrome OS. The printers also include support for a wide range of operating systems, including Mac, Windows, iOS and Android.
Easy maintenance
Both the MAXIFY GX3060 and MAXIFY GX4060 are easy to use and maintain thanks to improved hardware design, touchscreens (MAXIFY GX4060 only) and sleek interfaces. Refilling the printers is easier than before – with spring-loaded colour-coded ink caps, users can refill each tank with a gentle lift of the finger. What’s more, the user-replaceable maintenance cartridge is now positioned at the front for easy access and usability.
Seamless connectivity within the workplace
Offering smart connectivity, MAXIFY users can print, scan, copy and connect to the cloud all via the Canon PRINT app, benefitting from compatibility with existing software and technology platforms including AirPrint® and Mopria®. When connected to Wi-Fi, the printers will read the strength of the signal and security, and where there are multiple access points, they will automatically connect to the one with the best security and data conditions. MAXIFY GX3060 and MAXIFY GX4060 also come with various features including WPA3-SAE, WPA3-EAP(AES) and TLS 1.3 encryption to help mitigate security risks.
Diverse media support for printing
Posters, POS and other paperboard prints that would have traditionally been outsourced can now be produced via the MAXIFY GX3060 and MAXIFY GX4060, which can help to reduce the overall cost of promotional materials for small businesses. To support in-house business printing, both devices are now compatible with diverse media applications, including paperboard printing via the brand new rear flat tray. PosterArtist Web can be used to create posters with no professional design skills required – templates, auto-design and free stock photos help create attractive end results. It is available via a web browser online, so editing can be done anytime, anywhere.
