Somply put, my preference is the PIXMA6020 it’s much easier to install and set up. The MAXIFYdoes not come with an installation disk as have all of my other canon printers.

USB cable (optional) best computer to printer signal, than using Wi-Fi under 800-Mbps.
Load ink bottles under Mega-Tank cover (front right corner), begin with Yellow more easily see ink flow into tank, in case you wear prescription glasses. Tank has No white wall to see ink levels. Carefully hold bottle straight up & squeeze bottle as ink level changes, close cap. Follow with Magenta, then Cyan and Black.

Canon MAXIFY GX1020 ink-bottles over PIXMA ink-cartridges, less weight, more ink, easier set-up. Have Canon individual color and black ink printer/scanner models since 1996, this is my Fifth unit. When using after-market ink cartridges, ink leaked. Went thru Amazon for genuine Canon cartridges.
PIXMA use cartridges - standard 13 m-s-r-p per cartridge, extra-life 19. MAXIFY use bottles, Black 15 and C/M/Y 10 each. 3 year warranty when online register with Canon.

The ink wells are a standout feature. They last ages and make printing a worry-free experience. The print quality deserves a shoutout too - sharp, vibrant, and consistently professional.
Design-wise, it's a neat fit for my space, and the touchscreen interface is user-friendly. Whether it's for work documents or home projects, this printer handles it all with ease.
If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality printer that's hassle-free from start to finish, this Canon Megatank is a solid choice. It's made my printing tasks so much simpler and enjoyable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really surprised at how nice this printer and scanner is! The set up was easy and the print quality is great. Not too big either. Would definitely recommend to someone in need of a good sized printer. I’m a teacher so this will definitely continue to come in handy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I’ll start off by saying this thing really is mega. Still have yet to find a big enough space to put it. Overall it was quick to get up and running and set up. The print quality is that of most printers I’ve used, nothing special. But overall satisfied.
