Canon PIXMA G-Series is a line of printers that are presented for economical printing solutions in large quantities. One of them is the Canon PIXMA G670 . This inkjet printer carries a 6-color ink system. So, you can print documents and photos. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Canon PIXMA G670? Check out his review as follows.
Canon PIXMA G670 . Design
Canon PIXMA G670 comes with quite large dimensions. Naturally, considering this printer belongs to the category of all-in-one. So, it can support print, scan and copy functions.
There are at least two interesting things about this printer. First, the design is modular. When the body is opened the user is possible to access components such as the print head and absorber (maintenance cartridge). The good news, Canon allows users to replace these components independently. So, no need to bother bringing the printer to the service center.
The second interesting thing is the ink system. Canon PIXMA G670 carries a refill ink system. The ink tank can be found on the front. The transparent panel on the ink tank allows users to immediately see the remaining ink content.
This printer carries a 6 ink system. Among them are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Gray and Red colors. To refill the ink tank is also very easy.
You only need to open the tank cover, then plug the ink bottle directly into the ink tank. Canon is also very careful in designing its ink bottles. With a unique nozzle design, liquid ink will not spill and fill ink can take place more quickly.
On the top panel of the left body can be found a small LCD screen and a series of buttons. Includes menu buttons, navigation, and settings. The three main buttons are larger including Stop and Start with Black options for black and white printing and Color for color printing.
The panel with the buttons is comfortable to press. But, in our opinion it is less informative. Only the menu button and its three main buttons are described. Ordinary users can be confused and we recommend reading the manual to better understand the function of each available button.
Canon PIXMA G670 . Features
As we mentioned earlier the Canon PIXMA G670 supports print, scan and copy features. For print mode, the Canon PIXMA G670 supports photo printing, printing color or black and white documents with various paper formats, to the ability to print duplex documents and automatic two-sided printing to save paper.
For connectivity, the Canon PIXMA G670 only supports USB and WiFi connections for wireless. There are no other connectivity options such as Bluetooth or an Ethernet port. With the support of a WiFi connection, users can print photos directly from their cellphones through the application. So, there is no need to connect the printer to the computer.
For connectivity via the USB port, the Canon PIXMA G670 carries a plug and play style. When we try to connect it to a laptop with Windows 11 this printer can be used immediately.
Connecting this printer to WiFi is also quite easy. You just need to download the Canon Printer app which is available for Android and iOS users. Then, follow the setup guide that appears in the app.
The Canon Printer app is very easy to use and quite informative. The interface is simple. Basic features like photo print, document, scan, copy are available. Information related to this printer such as remaining ink, user manual and troubleshooting is also available. Before printing photos from mobile phones via this application, users are still possible to make edits. However, the available tools are limited to crop and rotate only.
So what if you want to be creative with this printer? Canon provides other applications that can be downloaded. It’s a bit inconvenient because it’s not directly in one application.
To get creative with your photo prints, the Easy-PhotoPrint Editor app is available on iOS, Android, Windows and MacOS platforms. For poster printing needs, there is the PosterArtistLite application which provides 1,300 templates, photos and clip art for free. Especially for Android smartphone users, the Mopria application is also available which offers photo, document and email printing functions.

One two-page black-and-white document can be finished in 45 seconds. The print quality is excellent at the standard print quality setting.
Switching to color printing we tested it for printing photos from a phone. From our test, one photo print measuring 10 x 15 cm on glossy borderless photo paper can be finished in about 1 minute. Meanwhile, A4-sized borderless photo prints can be completed in about 2 minutes.
The results of the photo prints are very satisfying. Sharpness is excellent and very rich in color. Keep in mind that before starting printing, you must also pay attention to the type of paper and print size used to get the right printouts.
This printer is also quite economical. Especially, in terms of printing costs per sheet. Its ink capacity is capable of printing up to 3,800 sheets of 4 × 6 inch borderless photos.
For testing the document copy function, the Canon PIXMA G670 can perform this function quickly. Scanning and producing a printed document only takes about 40 seconds. The copy of the document is also very good with the writing given a thickening effect for clearer print quality.
