Best Canon Printers

The Canon TS8320 has to be among the sleekest, most nimble, and space-saving AIO devices today. Before that though, let's talk colors. Adding to the standard yellow, black, cyan, and magenta colors, the unit also brings photo-blue and pigment-black inks. The second will be darkening text and adding depth to black areas (photos, graphics, handouts, you name them). The first ink, eliminating graininess, increases the images' definition and the color range.

Of course, these extra colors would be pointless if the model's print quality was garbage but that's not what's happening here. In fact, the opposite is happening here. Not unlike its Canon peers and predecessors, the device prints well-shaped, legible texts, whereas the graphics will be coming out without noticeable streaking and banding. Both the colors and gradients are usually accurate and quite brilliant, all things considered.

Right out-of-the-box, the Canon TS9120 looks great. At 14.7" x 14.2" x 5.6", it's quite compact and sleek-looking. The main casing comes in black but the lid is available in gray, gold and red besides the original black. Yet, what makes it very modern is the impressive 5-inch color touchscreen. It sits right on the front panel that hinges upward 90 degrees and is very convenient to operate. In essence, the printer has no physical buttons and all the stand-alone operations can be done with the said touch screen.

Under the panel, there is an SD card slot enabling you to print from a memory card even without switching on your PC. By the way, with the TS9120, you also get Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and Ethernet connectivity options.

If you're after high image quality, fast scanning, and fast copying, the Pixma MG3620 may interest you. Sitting somewhere in the middle of Canon's range of all-in-one devices, this model is not without flaws, but despite that, it has quite a lot to offer in return.

First things first, the MG3620's no slouch when it comes to printing. It produces high-quality photo prints and razor-sharp texts at respectable speeds. In fact, it's one of the fastest models on the market that needs just 27 seconds to make one color copy. Scanning abilities are quite impressive as well. The unit can scan a 600dpi image in 39.4 seconds and a black-and-white document at 300dpi in just 8.9 seconds, which gives it an upper hand over many of its rivals.

Operating the printer is quite simple. To the left of the lid, there is a simple control panel with handy buttons. Using these buttons, you will be able to choose between a plain paper and 4" x 6" photo paper (there is only one paper tray for these). Furthermore, the panel's also featured with dedicated buttons for color and monochrome copies. Press the "copy" key repeatedly to get multiple copies.

Speaking of shortcomings, take note that the printer has neither a digital screen for running stand-alone operations nor an AD, meaning you'd need to scan all pages by hand, which can be inconvenient if you have a lot of paper to handle. On the upside, you'll be able to scan pretty much anything. The scanner lid can be raised a bit letting you accommodate larger books.

With the recent growth of smart technologies and voice control assistants, more and more people turn their homes into smart eco-systems where each gadget can talk to each other and respond to users' commands. If you're one of them, you should definitely take a closer look at the Canon TS6320. Recently released by the brand, it keeps up with the latest technologies and supports many novelty features.

First of all, we would like to stress that it's compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice services as well as standard IFTTT scripting, making it possible to send simple voice commands without a need for smart speakers (you can use Apple's Siri on your iPhone).

Besides that, the TS6320 printer comes with standard connectivity that includes USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0 to let you build a wireless connection with other devices. Designed for effortless smartphone printing, the device lets you print directly from your iPhone, Android phone or tablet using Google Cloud Print, AirPrint, Mopria, as well as Pixma Cloud Print and Canon Print App. Also, you can download Easy-PhotoPrint Editor for Windows, Mac, Android, or iOS systems.

Do note that the PIXMA TS6320 also supports PictBridge wireless feature that makes it possible to print right from compatible Canon cameras. This nice add-on may be particularly useful for professional photographers.

If you don't need all those fancy all-in-ones and look for a basic printer for light jobs, we have a stellar offering for you - the Canon TS202 Inkjet Photo Printer. Available for less than $75, it's actually not only one of the cheapest models in Canon's range but also one of the most affordable inkjets on the market. Of course, there are quite a few sacrifices for such a low price tag but, generally, it operates flawlessly and delivers high-quality prints.

First things first, the Canon Pixma TS202 is not wireless and requires a USB connection with your computer. Owing to a compact design ( 9.1" x 16.9" x 23.2" when set up for use), it requires little desk space near your PC. With that, it can handle 8.5" x 26.6" paper including letter size and media up to 4" x 6". It offers an easy-to-access back tray for media, accomodating up to 60 sheets of plain paper or 20 sheets of photo paper 4" x 6" at a time.

When it comes to printing speed, it's quite fast - up to 7.7 ppm in black-and-white and approximately 70 seconds per producing a photo. The print quality is good, very good, which is pleasantly surprising considering the price tag of this model. Most models in the range don't come as close to this. To achieve such performance, the manufacturer powered this printer with the FINE printhead technology which along with a hybrid ink system allows it to churn out photos in high detail. This same technology also allows for accurate ink placement at a small scale due to the use of several ink nozzles, which results in high fidelity photos and sharp texts.
