If you need moderate volume with colour, scanning and faxing capabilities our Inkjet MegaTank GX series printers are the right fit. They handle documents and graphics well and are cost-effective for moderate printing volumes. MegaTank refillable ink tanks last longer, helping you save money.
These printers are also great for office and small office environments with all machines automatically printing double-sided, with fast speeds and crisp black text.
Do you need your printer to support both home and work needs? We have ranges that are great for versatile needs, making it an easy switch between scanning a multi-page document to printing a birthday card.
