Standard paper capacity seems meager for the price
Touchscreen is sluggish to respond
Inefficient control-panel layout
High-priced inks
Expensive color inks
At A Glance
Impressive print quality is the highlight of this small workgroup unit. Speed and features are competent. Toner costs range from average to a little pricey.
This workgroup unit has a high price tag, but it's very fast and thoroughly equipped. The solid-ink technology produces laserlike results with less fuss and lower cost.
For low volumes of printing, the Pixma MG4220 fits nicely into a home office. However, black ink is expensive, absurdly so with the standard-capacity cartridges.
Excellent output makes up for this color inkjet multifunction's deficiencies, but its color ink is expensive.
