Product details

Outstanding performance, premium CPP and TCO. Cost per page (CPP) is the amount of money you spend to print one page. It is determined by dividing the ink cost by the number of pages printed. Total cost of ownership (TCO) is an estimate of the price of a printer based on the initial purchase price of the hardware and the cost of ink over a set period of time. Low cost of ownership, great performance With a full set of ink bottles you can print up to 14,000 pages, which is a huge saving in terms of total cost of ownership and cost per page with the efficient high-volume MegaTank printer. It's a smart investment for any home office.

The Maxify GX4050 prints just as cheaply and just as well as the test winner. It was even slightly faster in the speed measurements. The GX4050 is noticeably smaller than the GX7050. On the other hand, the equipment has been economised: the display is smaller. In addition, the small Maxify only has one paper cassette. Not so nice: When printing, the Canon is very loud at 17.1 sone.

The differences between the two office multifunctional devices are more in the details: If you have little space and mainly print text and business graphics, the very compact Epson EcoTank ET-5170 is the best choice. If you want a lot of flexibility in the paper feed and also print brochures and photos more often, the Canon Maxify GX4050 is the better choice...
