At the heart of the Canon PIXMA G4780DW Wireless Printer is its refillable ink-tank system. Unlike traditional cartridge-based printers, the G4780 uses GI-71 (or optional GI-71S) ink bottles — with Pigment Black (PGBK) for text documents and dye-based Cyan, Magenta, Yellow for colour/graphics/photos.
This design not only reduces the cost per page significantly, but also supports high page yields: up to ~7,600 pages in mono and ~8,100 pages in colour under economy mode.
For regular document printing, the printer delivers up to 11 images per minute (black & white) and 6 images per minute (colour) in simplex mode.
Automatic duplexing (two-sided printing) is supported, giving you about 8.3 / 5.2 images per minute in duplex mode (mono / colour).
First-page-out is quite quick — approximately 9 seconds for mono and 14 seconds for colour — and borderless photo printing (4″×6″) takes about 45 seconds.
Beyond printing, the Canon PIXMA G4780DW Wireless Printer doubles as a scanner and copier. It features a flatbed scanner with an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), allowing easier multi-page scan and copy jobs — a practical feature for documents, assignments, invoices or office paperwork.
The CIS scanner offers up to 600 × 1,200 dpi optical resolution.
For copying, Canon Pixma Wireless Desktop Printer supports up to 99 pages, copy enlargement / reduction (25%–400%), and special copy modes such as 2-on-1, 4-on-1, borderless copy, two-sided copy, collate, ID copy, and oversized copy — giving flexibility for varied tasks.
In terms of paper handling, the Canon PIXMA G4780DW Wireless Printer offers a 100-sheet rear tray for plain A4 paper and supports a wide range of media — from plain paper (64–105 g/m²), photo paper, glossy paper, matte paper, envelopes, and more — up to ~265 g/m² for specialty media.
Canon PIXMA Series Desktop Printer also supports borderless printing for many of these paper sizes.
Connectivity is another strong point.
The Canon PIXMA G4780DW Wireless Printer supports wireless printing over Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n, 2.4 GHz), along with mobile and cloud printing options — via the Canon PRINT app, Apple AirPrint, Mopria, or direct wireless. A USB 2.0 port is also available for wired connection.
This flexibility makes it convenient for printing directly from laptops, desktops, smartphones, or tablets.
Physically, the Canon PIXMA Wireless All-In-One Printer sports a compact design that saves space — a useful advantage for small rooms, home offices, or study corners.
Canon Pixma Megatank Wireless Printer incorporates a 6.86 cm (2.7″) colour touchscreen LCD for intuitive control and easy navigation of settings.
Power consumption is also modest — about 18 W during operation, and very low in standby or off mode.
Overall weight is ~7.5 kg, and with its dimensions and footprint, the Canon PIXMA G4780DW Wireless Printer remains manageable even in limited spaces.
Given its blend of features — low-cost ink system, support for duplex printing, wireless & mobile printing, multifunction (print/scan/copy), and ADF — the Canon PIXMA G4780DW Wireless Printer is well-suited for students, educators, home-based work, small businesses, and anyone needing an affordable, flexible printing solution.
For photo-rich documents, presentations, assignments, or daily office paperwork, it offers a balance of quality, versatility, and economy.
