Description
The PIXMA G620 is made for people who print photographs regularly: albums, creative projects, presentation images and keepsakes. Its six dye-based inks are a different proposition from the four pigment inks in Canon’s office-focused MAXIFY range.
A rear paper feed handles approved photo and creative media, while the flatbed can copy or digitize individual reflective originals. It also prints everyday documents, but its modest document speed makes it a better fit for photo work than a queue of time-sensitive office reports.
Features
- Six dye-based colors: include red and gray in the Canon GI-23 bottle family.
- Refillable tanks: make each color’s supply visible and individually replenishable.
- Borderless photo output: supports specified photo sizes and compatible media.
- Flatbed copying and scanning: handle one original at a time on the glass.
- Wireless and USB printing: support a home creative workspace without a wired Ethernet connection.

Build a consistent photo-printing routine
Use a small proof print when changing paper, image-editing settings or display brightness. Match the printer’s paper setting to the actual media and decide whether the application or the driver will manage color. Reusing a successful combination is more reliable than changing several settings at once.
| Photo albums | Use compatible photo paper and allow prints to dry before stacking or sleeving. |
|---|---|
| Scrapbooks and cards | Check the supported size, thickness and coating before loading specialty media. |
| Scanned prints | Clean the glass and place reflective photographs carefully; the scanner is not a film scanner. |
| Text-heavy workloads | Consider the 3.9 ipm document rate when estimating a long report’s completion time. |
Common questions
Does it use pigment black ink for documents?
No. The G620 uses six dye-based inks, including black. Its ink system is designed around photo printing rather than the pigment-ink approach of MAXIFY office models.
Does it have an automatic document feeder?
No. Scanning and copying use the flatbed, one original at a time. Multi-page PDFs therefore require manual placement of each page.
Can it connect to a 5 GHz-only Wi-Fi network?
Its wireless specification is 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n. Configure a compatible network or use USB; do not assume a 5 GHz-only network will work.
Is every 4 × 6 print the advertised ink cost?
No. Historical cost estimates depend on ink prices and test conditions. Your file coverage, quality setting, maintenance and paper cost change the actual cost of a finished print.
