Okay, so I finally ditched my old printer that basically ate ink cartridges like candy. Enter the Canon Megatank G3290 – and wow, what a game-changer!

First off, the setup was smoother than my morning coffee routine. My laptop recognized it instantly, and the 2.7" touchscreen made navigating settings way easier than squinting at tiny buttons.

The MEGA selling point? Those refillable ink tanks. I nearly cried happy tears realizing I won’t be spending $50 every month on cartridges. After printing 200+ pages (including some very vibrant recipe cards), the ink levels barely budged. My wallet is thrilled.

Print quality is solid – not gallery-worthy, but crisp enough for work reports and fun DIY projects. Pro tip: tweak the settings for matte paper if you want richer colors on regular sheets.

Now, it’s not perfect: The Wi-Fi can be moody (sometimes it forgets we’re best friends), and no auto-duplex means manual page-flipping for double-sided prints. Also, it’s kinda chunky – definitely measure your desk space first.

But honestly? For the money saved on ink alone, this printer’s a no-brainer for home offices or student use. 9/10 would recommend to anyone tired of printer companies’ cartridge scams!
