The print quality is always great, even if I don't use the printer for 2-3 weeks. However, the printer is always connected to the mains and the print head is cleaned periodically during printing.
The GI-590 BK cartridges are not compatible with the Canon Maxify GX7050. The Canon GI-56 ink bottles or cartridges are used for this model. The GI-590 ink bottles are compatible with older Canon Pixma G models, but not with the Maxify GX7050.
The printer supports envelopes in DL and COM10 format, but not directly C5. However, you can use customised formats with a width of 89 to 216 mm and a length of 127 to 1,200 mm. Since a C5 envelope measures 162 x 229 mm, it might be possible to set it up as a customised format as long as it stays within these limits.
The Canon MAXIFY GX7050 is capable of printing on C5 envelopes. The specifications list envelopes, including the C5 size, among the supported paper types.
I also recommend contacting Canon support. It is possible that your device is also affected by the recall. I also have problems with my device and will be sending it in for repair next week. You can find more information about the recall here:

You can print C5 envelopes via the rear sheet feeder. BUT: The problem of ink stains does indeed exist. On my GX7050, the smudge mark is always in a section of the envelope edge that is pushed out at the end of printing. All possible cleaning modes did not provide a solution, unfortunately! I also have a laser printer, which doesn't have this problem when printing envelopes.
According to https://www.druckerchannel.de/artikel.php?ID=4538&t=rueckruf_canon_maxify_gx7050_und_gx6050, only units with serial numbers "KNDY00001" to "KNDY01288" (EU) are affected. New units should no longer be affected by this error.
Hi Nicolas! The printer has four large openings on the front through which the cartridge levels for C, M, Y and BK are clearly visible at all times. It even has measuring lines for 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. You should be able to see how slowly or quickly the cartridge level is decreasing and order refills in time.
I'm asking you for help and have a question as to whether this is also the case for you:
My printer automatically starts chattering and rattling exactly 30 seconds after a print job (cleaning? locking the print head? ink flushing?), which then lasts 44 seconds. And this happens EVERY time a print job is paused for 30 seconds afterwards. So if I want to print several documents individually and I need more than 30 seconds to find the next document and start printing, then I have to wait 44 seconds. And if I print out a print job 100 times a day, the jumble also appears 100 times a day 30 seconds later, even if I have only printed 1 sheet. Not only is this a colossal pain in the arse and keeps blocking my workflow because it forces me to wait, it also seems completely unnecessary and probably wastes ink. Once in a while is okay, but not dozens of times a day after every print job, even if it's only 1 sheet.
Is this the same for you or is my Canon GX 7050 defective?
So far I have only received terse general answers from Canon Service and no concrete answer to the question of whether it is normal for the printer to jam every time. I suspect and hope that I have a faulty device and that this is not normal otherwise I will soon go mad from the constant noise... So please let me know if this is also the case for you. Thank you very much.
The Canon MAXIFY GX7050 is a printer with ink tank technology designed for office use. It offers a wide range of functions such as printing, copying, scanning and faxing via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Photo printing capability:
The printer supports printing on various paper types including Semi-Gloss, Glossy and Matte Photo Paper as well as Restickable Photo Paper and Magnetic Photo Paper. Photos can be placed in the rear tray, which can hold up to 100 sheets. The printer is capable of printing good quality photos, with colours appearing sharp and clear.
Photo tray or photo format:
There is no specific mention of a "photo tray" in the traditional sense, but the printer can print photos in a variety of formats, including postcard size. Printing photos in special photo formats is possible as long as the paper is placed in the rear tray.
To summarise, the Canon MAXIFY GX7050 offers the possibility to print photos in various formats, but without a special "photo tray" in the conventional sense.
If you do not print for a long time, the ink may dry out and you will have to run the cleaning programme (possibly even twice).
With regular weekly printing, the ink should not dry out. However, I myself have the most problems with the red colour
as this seems to be used the least. With the other colours and black, I have had no problems with regular printing (a few pages 1 to 2 times a week).
a few pages once or twice a week). Previously I had an Epson printer with an ink tank, which was much worse with the colours drying out.
I have just installed a GX7050. Everything works so far.
However, the printer smears the pages facing forwards when duplex printing.
The printout shows the text image and a shadow of the same text offset approx. 2cm downwards. This looks like a problem that occurs when refeeding.
The same thing happens with more pages - always only on the side facing forwards - but the soiling is slightly heavier.
I have set the printer to duplex printing by default.
These are the first pages I ever print.
What can I do to stop this problem?
I have problems with printing pure magenta and cyan.
Magenta prints reddish brown, cyan prints darker blue.
I print from the iMac PDF
The PDFs are printer compliant.
It has been cleaned, and a test pattern printed, and printed directly from Openoffice by Apache. Everything is OK there. I have reported it to Canon, but they seem to want me to waste my ink and cleaning cartridge.
Apparently they have no idea why this is happening. I must have created over 50 PDFs with different settings, but the colours are always printed incorrectly. I hope someone knows which profile or settings to use.
My PDFs are printed correctly at my workplace with a large laser Konica copier.
