Overview

The Canon PIXMA MG3120 is an all-in-one inkjet printer that supports printing, scanning, and copying. It uses a two-cartridge system with separate black and color ink tanks optimized for standard document and photo printing. The device features a maximum print resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 dpi for vibrant photo outputs and clear documents. It supports borderless printing up to 4x6 inches and uses FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology for precise ink droplet control. The MG3120 connects via USB 2.0, lacking wireless connectivity features. Its flatbed scanner offers a resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi, sufficient for typical office scanning tasks.

This printer is designed for small office or home office environments where cost efficiency and decent print quality are required without advanced network capabilities.

Key Advantages

The Canon PIXMA MG3120 boasts high print resolution for detailed photo printing, enhanced by FINE print head technology. It offers compact and lightweight design suited for limited space environments. The all-in-one functionality allows users to print, scan, and copy with a single device, reducing office clutter. It supports borderless photo printing, ideal for creative projects and photo enthusiasts. Cartridge replacement is straightforward, with separate ink tanks that help save ink cost by replacing only the depleted color or black ink cartridge. Additionally, it is compatible with various types of documents and photo media.

Limitations

The MG3120 lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or network printing, limiting placement flexibility. It operates with a relatively slow print speed, especially for high-resolution photos and complex documents. The two-cartridge system is less advanced than hybrid or individual color cartridges, limiting precise color management. It does not support duplex (automatic double-sided) printing, which increases paper usage for double-sided documents. The scanner resolution is average and may not meet professional scanning requirements. Firmware updates and driver support have become limited as the model is older and considered discontinued.
