I typically spend my time reviewing tech products, but this time, I'm going to take one down, the Canon G3200 Megatank printer. There's not enough coverage on the 'net about how Canon's Megatank printers released between 2017 and 2019 are all designed to fail, and since most are still being sold, I thought it was important for me to air Canon's dirty laundry for them!

The good news: all Megatank printers released since 2020 have a user-replaceable ink maintenance cartridge. Here's the link to the cartridge: https://amzn.to/3wFyajr #ad
And here are the printers I recommend that use it:
(1) Canon G1220 Megatank Printer: https://amzn.to/3yxBqN0 #ad
(2) Canon G3260 Megatank AIO Wireless Printer: https://amzn.to/33HY3mJ #ad
Sells out often, also available at B&H: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1608285-REG/canon_4468c002_pixma_g3260_wireless_megatank.html/BI/20077/KBID/13837/kw/CAPIXMAG3260/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xCAPIXMAG3260
(3) Canon Pixma G620 AIO Wireless Photo Printer (6-color ink): https://amzn.to/33VcqnT #ad 

IMPORTANT TIP: even with these newer models, print a page every week, even if it's a test page. This allows you to flush the tubes, which cause the real problem in these Megatank printers (jammed nozzles are just the beginning!). Overall it will use less ink than unclogging a serious jam, and won't fill the ink absorber at all!
