Professional reviewers commend the G3270 for its vivid pigment-based colors, fast document throughput, and easy wireless setup, while noting that the lack of automatic duplex and an ADF makes it less suited for high-volume office work.
Everyday users generally praise the low operating cost, straightforward wireless connectivity, and compact design, but repeatedly mention the inconvenience of manual duplex and the limited paper capacity when handling larger photo or document batches.
Pros: Automatic duplex printing enables effortless double-sided document output, saving paper and time.; 20-sheet automatic document feeder allows batch copying, scanning, and faxing without manual loading.; 1.8-inch color touchscreen provides intuitive navigation and cloud app integration for easy printing.; Dual-band wireless (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) supports reliable mobile and cloud printing from various devices.; Compact footprint (17.1" × 13.5" × 7.1") fits comfortably on small desks or home office spaces.; Color print speed of up to 19 ppm delivers fast output for mixed-color document workloads.; ENERGY STAR certification reduces power consumption by 20-30 % compared to federal standards. Cons: ADF supports only single-sided scanning, lacking duplex scanning capability for double-sided documents.; Maximum paper tray capacity of 150 sheets may require frequent refilling during larger print jobs.; No built-in Ethernet port limits wired network connectivity options for office environments.; Black print speed of 20 ppm may be slower than competing high-speed office printers.; Maximum print resolution of 1,200 × 4,800 dpi may not meet professional photo-printing quality expectations.
