Home & Small Office: Smart, affordable, connected
For the typical home user or small business, printing requirements revolve around ease of use, cost per page, connectivity and versatility. Canon has built several lines (e.g., PIXMA, MegaTank) aimed precisely here. For example, on the Canon Singapore blog, they explain how choosing the right ink-jet printer with a high capacity ink system can help keep costs down.
Key features Canon emphasises:
High-yield ink tanks or cartridges (e.g., MegaTank models) to bring down the running cost per page.
Wireless / mobile print support so you can print from smartphones, tablets or laptops without needing to fuss with cables or drivers.
All-in-one (print/scan/copy/fax) models for versatility in a small footprint.
Tip for users: If you print moderately (say dozens to a few hundred pages per month) and dislike frequent cartridges or downtime, consider a model with refillable ink tanks. It may cost a little more upfront but the long-term cost and hassle savings can be substantial.
