Key Advantages

The Canon PIXMA MG3520 BK offers wireless connectivity, allowing convenient printing without physical cables. Its compact and lightweight design makes it suitable for home or small office spaces where desk area is limited. The five-ink system enhances print quality by providing richer colors and sharper text. It supports mobile device printing through apps and services such as Apple AirPrint, improving workflow flexibility. Ease of use is enhanced by a simple control panel and installation process. Automatic duplex printing helps reduce paper consumption and supports eco-friendly practices.

Limitations

Print speeds are relatively slow compared to laser printers, which may impact productivity in high-volume scenarios. The input paper tray capacity is limited to approximately 100 sheets, necessitating frequent refills for large print jobs. It lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF), making multi-page scanning and copying less efficient. The printer uses ink cartridges that can lead to higher ongoing costs relative to some laser printer toner cartridges. Print durability, especially for photo prints, may not match professional-grade photo printers. Additionally, the absence of advanced networking features such as Ethernet or direct cloud storage access may limit integration in certain office environments.
