Overview

The Canon Pixma G3290 is an all-in-one inkjet multifunction office device designed for home and small office use. It integrates printing, scanning, copying, and fax functions into a compact and efficient chassis. The printer utilizes a refillable ink tank system to deliver high-volume printing with low operating costs. It supports wireless connectivity including Wi-Fi and mobile printing capabilities for enhanced convenience. The device offers a maximum print resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi for sharp color and monochrome prints. Scanning is facilitated by a contact image sensor (CIS) with an optical resolution of up to 600 x 1200 dpi.

It uses four individual color ink tanks (black, cyan, magenta, yellow) that can be refilled, which reduces waste and lowers printing costs. The printing speed is up to 8.8 ipm (black) and 5 ipm (color), supporting both borderless photo and standard document printing. The control panel includes an LCD for easy operation and status monitoring. This models' design emphasizes ease of maintenance and reliability for consistent daily office tasks.

Key Advantages

The Pixma G3290’s key advantage is its integrated refillable ink tank system allowing high-volume printing at very low cost per page. It supports multifunctionality — printing, scanning, copying, and faxing — which reduces the need for multiple devices. Wireless and mobile device connectivity enable flexible printing options. Its compact design suits small office and home environments. High print resolution guarantees quality photo and document prints. The easy-to-use interface and maintenance-friendly design minimize downtime and operating complexities.

Limitations

As an older model, the G3290 lacks modern touchscreen controls and has a small LCD display which may limit ease of use. The print speed is moderate and might be slow for larger print jobs. It does not support duplex (auto double-sided) printing requiring manual handling. The scanning resolution and speed are basic compared to modern scanners. Connectivity options are somewhat limited without newer technologies like Bluetooth or Ethernet. Ink tanks require careful handling to avoid spills, which can be a drawback for some users.
