PIXMA G Series printers can also print borderless photographs up to A4 size.
High Yield & Low Cost Printing- The high mileage printer
PIXMA G series features new integrated refillable ink tanks with print yield as high as 6000 pages mono prints and 7000 pages color prints. The printers have individual ink tanks for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. The replacement ink bottles are priced at only Rs. 499/- per unit.
