Product Overview

Canon PIXMA G5020 (G5050) is a wireless printer in the MegaTank-series of inkjet printers. Like the more feature-rich models, the G5020 boasts a continuous ink supply system (CISS) delivers a yield of 6000 black pages and 7700 color pages for each refill, driving down the operating cost significantly.
Essentially, the G5020 (G5050) is the printer-only version of the G6020 (G6050), which itself is the ADF-less version of the G7020 (G7050). It is designed for home office and small business.
For select markets, Canon also markets the GM4050 and GM2050 monochrome printers.
