Unless defective, your order must be completely unopened with the seal intact, customers must cover the cost of return shipping unless you're returning a defective product.
Can Canon Pixma print on cardstock?
Most Canon PIXMA printers can handle cardstock, but it depends on your specific printer model, the weight of the cardstock, and which paper tray you use.
Professional or crafts focused PIXMA models like the iX6850 or the PRO series have specialized manual feeds designed to handle weights up to 350 gsm.
What is the Canon Upgrade Program?
Under Canon's official upgrade program, if you send in a product and receive a repair estimate, Canon offers you a 10% promo code towards a replacement or upgraded product instead of paying for the repair.
Canon Saving Tips
Shop Refurbished
Check the Refurbished products link under the Deals tab! Canon's refurbished gear is restored by Canon's own technicians and even has a one-year warranty, which is the same length you'd get buying new, but at a big discount. Keep an eye out though, the best items go fast.
Upgrade Progam
Under Canon's upgrade program, sending in a product and receiving a qualifying repair estimate gets you a 10% promo code toward a replacement or upgrade instead. If your old camera was in bad shape anyway, its worth it for the upgrade.
Join Student CPS
Student CPS membership costs nothing and enrolled students aged 18 and over get 10% off one Canon product per membership per year, free maintenance service and discounted repairs. There are also exclusive offers for students too.
The Deals Page
Your first port of call to save on printers, cameras and ink should be the Canon Deal page. Here Canon lists and rotates their latest offers from MegaTanks to Laser Jets. Its also where the Refurbised Page link is hidden.
Seasonal Sales
The best time to shop at Canon for a new printer or camera would be during the seasonal sales such as Black Friday, Labor Day and Cyber Monday. In the past Canon has taken up to 30% off cameras, printers and accessories so if you don't need a new printer straight away, it may be best to wait for a big sale.

Signing up for the newsletter at Canon is one of the easiest ways to save and stay up to date. Canon sends exclusive promo codes, sales and promotions directly to your inbox saving you time and also money.

How we source coupon codes
Tom’s Hardware has a coupons team dedicated to finding the latest and best codes for each of our pages. Through partnerships with retailers, our affiliate networks, and searching the web, we find the most recent ways to save on online orders, including any exclusive codes our commercial team negotiates. We then upload the latest codes & promotions to our pages, refreshing them twice a week.
How we test coupon codes
Our dedicated coupons team tests each code before they’re uploaded to our pages to ensure they will be accepted at the checkout. Coupons can include the likes of free shipping, student discounts, multibuy offers and more, and you’ll find applicable codes for products & services across all categories. However, we don’t list any one-time use or user-specific codes - this is to make sure each code is available for everyone who visits our site to use
For the sake of clarity, we also include key information about each coupon, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, on the page. We update this information whenever we become aware of any changes, with each page updated twice a week. You can read the terms & conditions for an offer by looking for the corresponding text and clicking it to expand the terms section. This text can be found near the ‘Get Code’ button.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Despite our team regularly refreshing our pages and testing every code before upload, every now and then a coupon may not work as intended. Retailers can change expiry dates or terms & conditions before pages can be updated, offers can expire, or a coupon can no longer be accepted. If you have any issues using one of our codes, our team is on hand to help.
It’s always best to start by double-checking a code’s terms & conditions to make sure your order meets the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section. Here you’ll find all available information on your chosen offer. Discounts may be product-specific (i.e. 10% off PC cases), have an associated minimum order value (i.e. spend $30 or more), or require verification (i.e. register with a valid student or workplace email address).
If you comply with all listed requirements and your discount is still not being applied, send an email to our team at coupons.tomshardware@futurenet.com and we can help. Let us know which code you are trying to use and which page it’s listed on, and customer support will reply as soon as possible to assist.
How we make money
Tom’s Hardware earns money from coupon pages on a commission basis. For every coupon page on our site, we have negotiated a deal with that retailer. Whenever someone places an order with that brand and applies one of our codes to their cart, we earn a percentage of the final order total back in commission.
The good news? This means that we offer our codes without charging any fees. Redeeming a discount listed on Tom’s Hardware is always free - all you will need to pay is a discounted price for whatever items you want to buy.
