Key Advantages
The MG3520 offers wireless printing, allowing users to print remotely via smartphone or tablet without the need for cables or computer connectivity. Its individual ink tanks help reduce ink wastage by allowing replacement of specific colors as needed. The compact and lightweight design saves desk space and enhances portability. High print resolution ensures detailed photos and crisp documents. Compatibility with various operating systems, including Windows and Mac, enhances user convenience. The printer also supports easy mobile device printing via the Canon PRINT app.
Limitations
The PIXMA MG3520 is slower compared to some competing printers, particularly in color print mode, which may limit its use for high-volume printing tasks. It lacks an automatic document feeder, requiring manual paper handling for copying and scanning multiple pages. The printer does not support duplex (double-sided) printing natively. Ink costs can be relatively high over time due to the dye-based color inks. There is limited paper capacity, accommodating up to 60 sheets, which might require frequent refilling in busy environments. The scanning resolution is modest, which might not suffice for very high-quality scan requirements.
