Canon Europe has today announced it is expanding its existing MegaTank range with two new ADF equipped, refillable ink tank printers, the Canon PIXMA G7040 colour 4-in-1 and Canon PIXMA GM4040 monochrome 3-in-1. The new printers provide high yield, low cost printing, without compromising on quality - ideal for increasing the efficiency of small business and home office outputs.

The Canon PIXMA G7040 and Canon PIXMA GM4040 come equipped with a brand new 35-Sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) allowing for quicker multi-page document scanning and copying and a high capacity 2-way paper feed capable of holding up to 350 sheets of plain paper. This makes them 3.5x more productive than earlier generation MegaTank models which only have a single rear feed - the perfect choice for users needing to economically print large volumes at pace.

Both printers come with refillable ink tanks allowing users to print up to 18,000 pages^3,4 with 3 black ink bottles, or up to 7,700 pages with a set of colour inks (Canon PIXMA G7040 only). Not only does this reduce the cost to print per page but removing the need to continually purchase and replace ink cartridges also keeps workplace downtime to a minimum.

Both the Canon PIXMA G7040 and Canon PIXMA GM4040 make it even easier to print thanks to Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity; the Canon PIXMA G7040 is compatible with Windows or Mac operating systems and the Canon PIXMA GM4040 with Windows. Both printers are also compatible with the Canon PRINT app (iOS and Android).

The sleek design of both the Canon PIXMA G7040 and Canon PIXMA GM4040 takes up minimal desk space and the tillable front control panel provides easy viewing from any angle. Users can also be assured that they are running their printer economically, with auto 2-sided printing and auto-power off capabilities. Both printers are perfectly suited for a productive home office or small office, looking for a low cost, high volume printer - whilst maintaining the highest print quality.

The Canon PIXMA GM7040 and Canon PIXMA GM4040 will be available across South Africa from early in the New Year and retail for approximately R3 999 (GM4040) and R6 499 (G7040).
