Customer Ratings & Reviews

My old Canon finally gave up. So went looking for a new one. Love this printer. Great for my son homework and my crafting. Best printer for pictures and very easy to use. I love that I can send pictures or paperwork right from my phone to the printer. Easy to setup too.

Nice little all in one. Install and connection to wifi was easy. Big screen for easy operation. Compact. Scanner offers higher resolution than many other printers. The addition of the photo blue ink makes for very nice, colorful photos. The two negatives are expensive ink, which is the norm for any brand, and this printer is ink hungry. Canon's one flaw with their printers is that they use a lot of ink, especially in maintenance functions, comapred to other brands.

I love this printer for the fact that it's compact for small spaces, it's easy to use and prints pictures for easily. The only thing that was an issue was the scanning, I couldn't figure out how to use it

This printer is very reasonably priced. Set up was a snap. I have it set for greyscale fast draft, so far I have printed close to 100 pages with the set up cartridge and still going! Prints very fast.

Printer was available for a good price at Best Buy. Set up was easy, and printing both wireless and wired worked very well. Extra blue ink cartridge is interesting, but photos look very good.

When it's printing, it does a very nice job. More than once, though, in the short time since I've owned it, it has gotten stuck on an error code, which can only be really read via scanning a code. An example is once when i tried printing something a smaller size than my usual 8-1/2 x 11 using the back-of-printer paper feeder. It didn't work out, but instead of allowing me to just go back and cancel the print job, I finally had to put 8-1/2 x 11 paper in the back feeder to allow it to print. Then it tended to want to continue feeding from the back feeder. it hangs on to problems without allowing you to cancel the print job and starting afresh.

At standard retail price I likely would skip this but it was at a third of retail out the door. I heavily studied reviews for a quality photo printer that could print work documents also. I wanted decent ink prices but I have used 3rd party ink with great results in past. I didn’t care by what means I could get the ink prices down. Photo quality, borderless printing, and ability for multiple paper sizes were required. I struggled with max size but I’ve had a tabloid size photo printer before and never printed over an 8x10. I only cared about printing - not scanning etc. Paper tray feeding for 4x6 was a plus. Ink tanks are what I researched first but I couldn’t make sense of it since refilling a cartridge isn’t scary to me. The convenience would be great but the nearest comparable canon ink tank would be about ten times the price. For that price difference I can buy about 6 ink refill kits. Also, the quality of photos take a hit although there are likely some soon to hit market that will be at same level. The price sounds crazy high though. Epson prices are a bit lower but the last $300 Epson lasted about 18 months before the heads started clogging. Time will tell, but canons have a better reputation for hardware longevity. Oddly enough, this printer has lower print resolution against comparable Inkjets but higher ratings for photo output quality. It’s cost per page is average to higher than average at pricepoint but with the sale it’ll be much better upfront. Canons ink cartridges have chips that present errors of refilled but the error is easily removed so refilling with 3rd party is easy without a chip resetter. It does lose the ability to track cartridge ink levels once the error is bypassed. I’m completely fine with that since this scores near highest picture print quality for the tier printer it is. Brother reviews show a step behind the pack. In comparisons, canon photos are not as water resistant as Epson ink on Epson paper. I am not testing that, but reviews online have shown that on other models. Personally I don’t get why that matters - I’ll print a new photo if one gets wet. For low volume printing this makes sense in every aspect. If it dies in a year, I’ll be extremely happy it was so cheap - a big concern with ink tanks since I’ve not had great longevity thus far. If 3rd party ink is an option and letter size max is okay, I could find no better options for anywhere close to the price.

Very Easy install. Works very well as printer, copier, scanner. Faster than comparable models of Epson. The only thing slower than my old Canon is the delay between 2 sided prints - indicating different ink that takes longer to dry. 280 series Ink is expensive but seems to last longer. Would like to buy XXL cartridges, but not out yet. Also the added 6th ink, Print Blue, is still difficult to find. Not sure if needed as 5 color seemed to do photos very well Wish Canon would standardize ink cartridges. This is my 4th Canon and all use different ink cartridges. I try to buy ink in bulk and am now stuck with lots of $$$ worth of 250 series carts.

Good size. Lots of features. Automatic double side printing. Good quality print. Controls a little confusing. When turned off for a long time, does not hook up to a device the first time, need to redo, don’t know why. Ink less expensive than some.

Easy to set up. Easy to use. Decent print quality. Nice size for a small space.

Outstanding printer! Canon makes great printers that are easy to operate, produce exceptional photos, are very quiet and always reliable.

I had avoided Canon printers for several years (make that a couple decades), due to driver and feeding issues I'd encountered. But, when I looked for a new photo printer, my research told me Canon was the way to go. My Pixma TS8220 has performed flawlessly, the installation process was almost a pleasure, and MAYBE our local drugstore can match the quality of the photos in prints, but my money would be on the TS8220.

This printer is easy to set up which is a plus. Documents print fast in black and white. I don’t love the look of this printer. It looks outdated and inexpensive. I haven’t had the chance to print colorful pictures yet but i read the reviews and this one was rated high on color quality. Overall I’m satisfied with this purchase.

Awesome for photos, has more colors of ink and prints on cd's and that fact its smart to know what your trying to print and setup was easy and the ink is much cheeper then hp which i switch to canon because of this and the fact i was tired of the photos not looking the same color as i scanned but with this canon it are the same and quality to go with it, i am still on the ink the factory provided with it and have all ready printed so much i will stick with canon

I really like this printer very easy set up prints well. Never loses WI-FI like the other one i had

I got this printer after Christmas, at the low discounted price of $79. It sold normally for $179. It’s easy to use and understand. All my devices can connect to it easily without any problems. The software programs that came with it allows the users to easily prepare projects for everyday use. I was pleasantly surprised at all it can do.

Quality top notch! Picture perfect! Wireless! Easy to hook up to computer, mobile, laptop. No problems so far.

I’ve only had it for about a month, bur so far so good. It prints fast and clean. Ink is easy to install and I like the separate color cartridges. The only con so far is that the front cover on the paper tray has to be taken off and put back on to access the paper. It would be better if it folded down instead.

Got a great price for Christmas and the print quality is good. The front opens up in a interesting way to feed the paper out and I am a bit worried about the durability here. Loading the paper is not as easy as I would like. Colored ink that came with it is going fast.

I had originally had bought a HP printer that I had to unplug and re-plug every time I had to print anything if it printed at all. The Cannon PIXMA is so much better it prints amazing looking photos. Its easy to send photos from your phone to print them as well as documents that you may have in a email all from the ease of your cellphone with the downloaded Cannon app.
