Canon PIXMA G3416 Mega Tank Printer, 3-in-1 Print Scan Copy, Wi-Fi & Cloud, Black

The Canon PIXMA G3416 MegaTank is a 3-in-1 refillable ink tank printer engineered for home users, small offices, and high-volume printing environments who need a cost-effective, low-running-cost colour inkjet for documents and photos — with Wi-Fi, PIXMA Cloud Link, mobile printing, and borderless photo output built in. With integrated refillable MegaTank ink reservoirs delivering up to 6,000 black pages and 7,000 colour pages per set of GI-490 bottles — alongside 4800×1200 dpi print resolution, CIS flatbed scanning, and Canon's FINE hybrid ink system — the PIXMA G3416 eliminates the recurring cartridge cost of conventional inkjet printers while maintaining Canon's print quality.

MEGATANK REFILLABLE INK SYSTEM — UP TO 6,000 BLACK PAGES PER BOTTLE

The defining advantage of the PIXMA G3416 over cartridge-based inkjet printers is its integrated MegaTank ink reservoir system — four large-capacity translucent ink tanks (PGBK, C, M, Y) built directly into the printer body, refilled from GI-490 ink bottles at a fraction of the per-page cost of replaceable cartridges. Each set of GI-490 ink bottles delivers:

- Black (GI-490 PGBK): up to 6,000 A4 pages of plain paper documents

- Colour set (GI-490 C+M+Y): up to 7,000 A4 pages of colour documents

- Photo printing: up to 2,000 borderless 10×15cm colour photos per colour set

The translucent tank windows allow ink levels to be checked visually at any time without opening menus or checking printer status — instantly visible when standing in front of the printer. The MegaTank system is designed for mess-free refilling with the GI-490 bottle's precision nozzle tip, preventing spills during the refill process.

HYBRID INK SYSTEM — SHARP TEXT + VIVID PHOTOS

The PIXMA G3416 uses Canon's Hybrid ink system combining two distinct ink technologies in a single printer:

- Pigment black ink (PGBK): delivers sharper, denser black text with higher resistance to water and smudging — producing professional-quality document printing with crisp character edges

- Dye colour ink (C/M/Y): delivers richer, more vibrant colour graduation, smoother tonal transitions, and more accurate photo colour rendering than pigment colour inks

The Hybrid combination is the reason the G3416 produces both sharp black text documents and vivid colour photos from the same printer — without the text-quality compromise of dye-only systems or the colour-quality limitation of pigment-only systems.

4800×1200 DPI RESOLUTION — FINE PRINT HEADS

The two FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print heads — one for black, one for colour — produce print output at up to 4800×1200 dpi resolution with 2pl minimum ink droplet size. At maximum resolution, the PIXMA G3416 renders photographic gradients, fine line art, and detailed text with the precision that FINE technology provides — controlled droplet placement with sub-pixel accuracy for consistently high-quality output across document and photo media types.

PRINT SPEEDS — 8.8 IPM MONO / 5.0 IPM COLOUR

- Mono documents: up to 8.8 ipm (images per minute) on A4 plain paper

- Colour documents: up to 5.0 ipm on A4 plain paper

- Borderless 10×15cm photo: approximately 60 seconds per print

WI-FI PRINTING — CANON PRINT APP, CLOUD LINK, MOPRIA

The PIXMA G3416 connects wirelessly via IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi for network printing from Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices:

- Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app: print and scan directly from iPhone, iPad, and Android without a computer — the primary mobile printing interface for the G3416

- PIXMA Cloud Link: print from and scan to cloud services including Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, Facebook, and other cloud platforms directly from the printer's own cloud connection — no computer required

- Mopria (Android): native Android printing without app installation on supported Android devices

- Access Point Mode: direct Wi-Fi connection from a smartphone or tablet without requiring a router — useful in environments without a network infrastructure

- Hi-Speed USB-B: wired USB connection for computers where wireless is not preferred

BORDERLESS PHOTO PRINTING — UP TO A4

Edge-to-edge borderless photo printing is supported across multiple sizes:

- A4 (210×297mm): full A4 borderless prints for certificates, posters, and large photos

- 20×25cm, 13×18cm, 13×13cm: standard international photo print sizes

- 10×15cm: classic 4×6" photo format — 2,000 prints per GI-490 colour set

Compatible photo papers include Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II (PP-201), Photo Paper Pro Luster (LU-101), Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss (SG-201), and Matte Photo Paper (MP-101) for professional photo output quality.

CIS FLATBED SCANNER — 600×1200 DPI

The Contact Image Sensor (CIS) flatbed scanner scans documents and photos up to A4 (216×297mm) at 600×1200 dpi optical resolution — capturing fine text detail, photo gradients, and line art at scan quality suitable for archiving, document management, and photo reproduction. Colour scanning at 48-bit input / 24-bit output provides accurate, detailed colour capture. Scan to PC, scan to cloud, and scan to mobile via the Canon PRINT app.

MY IMAGE GARDEN SOFTWARE

Canon's My Image Garden software organises photos by face recognition and shooting date, provides creative templates for cards, calendars, and collages, and integrates Full HD Movie Print — enabling still image extraction from video files for printing.

AUTO POWER ON — PRINT WITHOUT MANUAL ACTIVATION

Auto Power On enables the PIXMA G3416 to automatically activate when a print job is sent from a connected computer or mobile device — eliminating the need to manually power on the printer before printing.
