Description

Canon PIXMA G640 Wireless MegaTank InkJet Photo Printer

The first multi-function printer in the PIXMA G range with six refillable dye-based ink tanks, the PIXMA G640 blends unrivalled photo-quality printing with the ability to produce high volumes at extremely low cost.

The Canon PIXMA G640 is perfect for printing large volumes of high-quality borderless photos up to A4 size¹ in a studio, at home or in the office. Total cost of ownership is reduced with this high-volume printer thanks to the six refillable dye-based ink tanks that last longer between refills.

When the time comes to change inks, the process is error-free and mess-free thanks to the non-squeeze bottles with mechanical ID. The maintenance cartridge is also simple to replace at home or in the studio, minimising downtime on busy days. You’ll save time as you can print from your phone or tablet using the Canon PRINT App, Mopria or AirPrint, or connect via Wi-Fi to your devices.
