Canon PIXMA G1220 (G1520) MegaTank
PrinterProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Canon PIXMA G1220 (G1520) is the entry-level consumer-grade ink tank printer in the MegaTank-series. Compared to more feature-rich models, the G1220 is print-only and lacks WiFi connectivity and the LED display.
Canon markets the printer as G1220 in the US and G1520 in the EU.
The PIXMA G1220 delivers low-cost color printing, thanks to its continuous ink supply system (CISS).
For models with scan and copy functions, Canon also markets the USB-only G2260 (G2560) and G2520 as well as the WiFi-enabled G3260 (G3560) and G3620.
For a richer feature set print-only ink tank printer, Canon offers the PIXMA G5020 (G5050).

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac)Canon rates the G1220 at 9.1 pages per minute (ppm) for black and 5ppm for color. If you print a lot of long documents or large photos, these speeds soon get tedious. It's also important to point out that this Pixma doesn't support automatic two-sided printing.
Pros
- Low running costs
- Good print quality
- Two years' worth of ink
Cons
- No automatic two-sided printing
- Slow print quality

Reviewer score 34% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Canon PIXMA G1220 is mediocre for family use. It lacks a scanner, so it isn't ideal if you like digitizing photos or documents. It yields an outstanding number of pages, which results in a very low cost-per-print. While it provides good access to paper jams and ink tanks, its build quality is just okay.
Pros
- Exceptional page yield for both black-only and color documents
- Outstanding number of pages
- Incredibly low cost-per-print
- Well-built design
- Excellent photo quality
Cons
- No scanner
- Can't print wirelessly
- Doesn't have a scanner
