High Volume Dedicated Photo Quality and Megatank Efficiency
The Canon PIXMA G640 is a specialized 6 color refillable Megatank printer meticulously engineered for photographers, creative studios, and small businesses requiring top-tier color graphics. This multi function system replaces traditional ink cartridges with massive integrated fluid reservoirs. The front facing layout allows operators to monitor ink levels visually while driving photo printing operational costs down to an absolute minimum.
Unlike standard four-color office printers, this hardware utilizes a unique 6 color dye-based ink formulation. By introducing dedicated red and grey inks alongside standard cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, the print engine dramatically expands the color gamut. This technology delivers enhanced color contrast, deep monochrome stability, and precise skin-tone accuracy for professional photographic production.
Outfitted with modern wireless technology, the device bridges the gap between hardware and creative cloud workflows. Operators can execute secure print jobs from smartphones, laptops, and digital cameras across a local network without desktop cable clutter. The specialized ink bottles use physical mechanical keys for each individual color, completely eliminating the risk of ink cross-contamination during replenishment.

Professional Productivity and Design Benefits
Expanded 6 Color Dye Ink Set
The inclusion of red and grey inks minimizes graininess and boosts color accuracy. The grey ink stabilizes black-and-white print tones, while the red ink ensures deep, vivid color saturation.
Keyed Gravity Ink Replenishment
The mechanical slots on the GI 43 bottles prevent filling errors. Ink flows automatically when docked onto the matching color gateway and stops instantly when the reservoir reaches full capacity.
Expanded Mobile Ecosystem
Integrated smart connectivity facilitates instantaneous printing through the official Canon PRINT app, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria for Android. Users can effortlessly print photos directly from primary cloud networks via their mobile interfaces.
User Replaceable Maintenance Cartridge and Printheads
The device is engineered with a user-replaceable maintenance box and printheads. Operators can purchase and swap these parts independently in seconds, avoiding factory service wait times and extending the ultimate lifespan of the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the G640 suitable for everyday office documents
While it prints text documents perfectly, it is optimized for photo production. Because it uses all dye-based inks, black text on plain copy paper will not be as crisp as models that use dedicated black pigment ink.
Can this printer handle heavy photo paper weights
Yes, the heavy duty rear paper feeding tray easily accommodates magnetic photo sheets, glossy photo paper, semi-gloss media, iron-on fabric transfers, and professional matte presentation paper up to 275 grams per square meter.
Does this model support automatic double sided document printing
No, the G640 utilizes manual duplex assistance. The printer software guides the operator via on-screen prompts showing how to flip and reload the sheets to complete double-sided layouts.
