High-Volume, Low-Cost Printing with Canon’s Refillable MegaTank System
Empower your home office or small business with the Canon PIXMA G3430 MegaTank Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer. This powerful 3-in-1 device combines print, copy, and scan capabilities in one compact and efficient unit. Engineered for users who demand low running costs without compromising on quality, the G3430 leverages Canon’s innovative refillable ink tank system to deliver exceptional value — perfect for students, home workers, and small businesses throughout Kenya.
The G3430 is built around Canon’s high-yield MegaTank ink system, which uses refillable ink bottles instead of expensive cartridges. The included standard-yield ink bottles deliver up to 3,100 black pages and 4,400 colour pages per set, with Economy mode boosting these figures to 3,900 black and 4,600 colour pages. Optional high-yield bottles extend these figures to 6,000 black and 7,700 colour pages (7,600 and 8,100 in Economy mode respectively). This translates to average savings of up to 90% on total cost of ownership compared to conventional inkjet and laser printers. The user-replaceable maintenance cartridge and no-squeeze key-coded ink bottles make at-home maintenance simple and mess-free.
Fast, High-Quality Output for Everyday Tasks
Despite its economical operation, the G3430 delivers impressive performance. It prints at speeds of approximately 11 images per minute in black and 6 images per minute in colour, with a borderless 10x15cm photo produced in just 45 seconds. A maximum print resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi ensures sharp text and vibrant colour graphics for both documents and photos. The 100-sheet rear tray capacity reduces reloading frequency, allowing for uninterrupted printing of large jobs.
Versatile, Wireless Connectivity for Modern Workflows
The G3430 offers a suite of wired and wireless connectivity options for seamless integration into any workspace. Built-in Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11 b/g/n) allows for wireless printing from computers, smartphones, and tablets. The Canon PRINT app enables printing and scanning directly from mobile devices, while Apple AirPrint (iOS) and Mopria (Android) provide effortless mobile printing without additional software. The PIXMA Cloud Link feature even allows direct printing from popular cloud services.
