Canon has expanded its MAXIFY range for those working at home, or in small businesses, with the MAXIFY GX3050 and MAXIFY GX4050. Built with collaboration, efficiency and productivity in mind, the expanded series is ideal for reaching a range of needs within different workspaces – whether its hybrid working from home or running a small business. Equipped with MegaTank refillable ink tank technology, both models have low total cost of ownership and cost per page. They are easy to maintain and use – saving time to focus on other business matters. Downtime is kept to a minimum with high volume printing of up to 14,000 pages from a set of colour ink bottles – or up to 21,000 pages when used in the economy print mode – while large paper capacity of up to 350 sheets (250-sheet cassette and 100-sheet rear feed) and a user replaceable maintenance cartridge reduce the need to send the printer away for servicing. The MAXIFY GX3050 and GX4050 also feature fast copying and scanning alongside professional quality prints with the four-colour pigment-based refillable ink tank system. Both models are housed in a compact desktop design, fitting easily into tighter home office spaces.

Additionally, the new MAXIFY GX models support Chromebook, with direct printing and scanning from Chrome OS. The printers also include support for a range of operating systems, including Mac, Windows, iOS and Android. Easy maintenance Both printers are easy to use and maintain thanks to improved hardware design, touchscreens (GX4050 only) and sleek interfaces. Refilling the printers is easier than before – with spring-loaded colour- coded ink caps, users can refill the tank with a gentle lift of the finger, all without spilling ink. What’s more, the user-replaceable maintenance cartridge is now positioned at the front for easy access and usability. Seamless connectivity within the workplace Offering smart connectivity, MAXIFY users can print, scan, copy and connect to the cloud all via the Canon PRINT app, benefitting from compatibility with existing software and technology platforms including AirPrint and Mopria®. When connected to Wi-Fi, the printers determine the strength of the signal and security – when there are multiple access points, they will automatically connect to the one with the best security and data condition, always ensuring smooth connections. With various countermeasures – including WPA3- SAE, WPA3-EAP(AES) and TLS 1.3 encryption – the printers mitigate the risk of unauthorised access and data leakage through increased security. Diverse media support for printing Posters, POS and other paperboard prints that would have traditionally been outsourced can now be produced via the printers, reducing overall costs of promotional materials for small businesses. To support in-house business printing, both devices are now compatible with diverse media applications, including paperboard printing via the new rear flat tray. PosterArtist Web can be used to create posters with no professional design skills required – templates, auto-design and free stock photos help create attractive end results. It is available via a web browser online, so editing can be done anytime, anywhere.
