Key Advantages
The MG3520 offers seamless wireless printing enabling flexible placement without cable constraints. It delivers high-resolution printing with excellent color reproduction up to 4800 x 1200 dpi. Individual ink cartridges reduce running costs by allowing replacement of only the depleted colors. The 1.5-inch LCD simplifies settings adjustments directly on the printer. It supports mobile printing via Canon’s app and AirPrint, increasing convenience. The compact design fits neatly on desks, saving office space.
Limitations
Print speed is moderate compared to laser printers, which may be slower for large volume tasks. The inkjet technology tends to have higher per-page costs than some competitors. The flatbed scanner resolution is suitable for casual use but limited for high-detail scanning needs. There is no automatic document feeder, restricting multi-page scanning and copying productivity. The paper input tray capacity is relatively small, requiring frequent refills during heavy usage. Some wireless setup processes can be challenging for less experienced users.
