With large tanks and affordable high-yield bottles, the MAXIFY GX4050 printer with refillable ink will help keep your business costs incredibly low. Ideal for home office printing with huge savings on the total cost of ownership¹ and cost per page². Excellent quality business prints are delivered quickly and in high volumes. Effortlessly print, copy, scan and fax with easy multi document management with a 35-sheet ADF.

¹ The total cost of ownership (TCO) is a calculation of what a printer would cost you based on the initial purchase cost of hardware plus the costs of ink over a fixed period.

² Cost per page (CPP) is the amount of money that it takes to print a single page. This is determined by dividing the cost of the ink by the page yield.

³ The economy mode reduces the ink consumption by lowering the density, 50% more pages than the standard mode can be printed.

⁴ A4 document print speed on plain paper is measured based on average of ESAT in Office Category Test of ISO/IEC 24734 standard.

⁵ Page Yield is the estimated value based on Canon individual test method using the ISO/IEC 24712 chart and continuous printing simulation with the replacement after initial setup.
