According to our printer expert
Print, scan, copy, and fax with the Canon MAXIFY GX4050 4-in-1 inkjet printer for a home office or small office. You save on printing costs thanks to the ink tanks, which you refill with ink bottles. With a set ink bottles you can print 14,000 pages in color and 6000 pages in black and white. Do you regularly scan or copy a large file? With the MAXIFY GX4050, you can automatically do this one-sided. This saves you time. The printer has a 600x1200DPI print resolution. This means you mainly print texts, tables, and graphs. Wirelessly send your print jobs from your desk with WiFi Direct. With WiFi Direct, you directly connect your computer with the printer, without using a router.

Print quality
With the Canon MAXIFY GX4050 I have many extra print functions and I can print thousands of pages cheaply through the ink tank. Due to the print speed of 13 color pages per minute, the printer is not suitable for large offices.
Economical ink reservoirs This printer works with ink reservoirs or ink tanks that you fill with ink bottles. I was afraid I would spill the ink while refilling, but this went surprisingly well. The ink tanks are on the front of the printer, so they are easy to access. Thanks to the special nozzles, ink only comes out of the bottles when you put them on the ink tank. Canon promises that you can print 14,000 color pages and 6,000 black and white pages with a full set of ink bottles. So if I print 10 color pages every day, I have enough ink for about 4 years. This way I save a lot on my printing costs.
Easy installation and connection to WiFi The installation of the printer goes without any problems. I install the printer according to the instructions on the screen. In addition, I also download the Canon Print app, so that I can easily send print jobs from my smartphone and laptop. This printer has its own WiFi network. As a result, I don't have to connect the printer to my own WiFi network, which is often a hassle. I scan a QR code with my smartphone and am immediately connected to the printer.
Versatile printer with useful features The MAXIFY GX4050 is a 4-in-1 printer. This means that in addition to printing, scanning and copying, I also send a fax. This goes through the telephone line that I plug into the back of the printer. With the automatic document feeder, I can copy or scan up to 35 A4 sheets at a time. If you copy or scan a lot, this will save you a lot of time and manual work. I save a scan as a PDF and easily send it to my smartphone or computer. I also automatically print double-sided, which saves paper. That is good for the environment and your wallet.
Suitable printer for small office or small and medium-sized businesses The printer has a print speed of 13 color pages per minute. This is on the slow side for an office printer, so I don't recommend it for large offices where there is a lot of printing. Due to the low printing costs and many functions, I recommend the printer for small offices or small and medium-sized businesses. For an office printer, the GX4050 is not large, so it is not easily in the way.
