Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great All-in-one printer for the money. Easy to install and set up. Began printing in minutes. Am able to print off my laptop or phone. Very simple to use. This is the 2nd one I have purchased this year. Awesome product!

Canon, being a respectable name in printers comes out with the Canon - PIXMA TS6420a Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer. What's new? What's not? The Canon - PIXMA TS6420a Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer draws your attention with its "hide it all, but it's all here" sleek design. It's hard to imagine that this small form factor brings to the plate everything it does (in the way that it does) ....... As a heavy print user, with a small business, I was optimistic in using the Canon - PIXMA TS6420a Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer for the occasional document, or photo prints to include in reports. Setting it up was wacky at first. It didn't want to recognize my Wi-Fi. And then when it did, "Poof!" it had forgotten the Wi-Fi network. It took several attempts for the Canon - PIXMA TS6420a Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer to accept and save the Wi-Fi network. Once it did, however, the setup process was extremely simple and there were no further hiccups in that process. I liked the fact that I could do everything with my phone to set up the printer. I guess you can say I'm somewhat of a "printer snob". So, during installation, when I saw the ink cartridges themselves, I rolled my eyes. Yes, it is nice having just 2 (instead of other brands that have a cartridge for each color in the rainbow) - but it is apparent at this point that this is not a "business machine". I say this because it is all too obvious that ink carts are not going to last for documents AND photos AND be economical in the long run. So just the occasional document it is. Print quality, for the price point was genuinely nice in color. Black and white documents were crisp. Neither suffered from the usual "I'm a new printer, and I just slurped up some ink" banding that usually occurs, even after aligning the print heads in either. The Canon - PIXMA TS6420a Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer seems to know its place. You do get an LCD screen on the printer, but compared to other Canon models, and even other brands in this price-point it is sort of "meh". Very unintuitive from the get-go. The instructions don't really help with this either. HOWEVER. This is what I consider a "point A-B" printer. Just like that ol' reliable Datsun would get you from point A to B if you threw some petrol in her, this printer would take care of you as long as you keep giving it ink to slurp. Scanning with the phone APP, along with Windows, Linux, Pixel books, etc. WAS a joy to do. And easy once I got the ball rolling. It was at this point that I concluded that the Canon - PIXMA TS6420a Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer is best suited for light, home use. And in that environment, it thrives. Anything more, than printing out some recipes or emails every now and then, you will run into buying more and more ink. Personally, if you are looking for a printer that can handle a higher cycle, I would suggest going a bit higher up in the Canon ladder. Yes, you may pay more at the start, but the time, money, and aggravation you would not experience is worth it. Once more, this is not a "BAD" printer, it just isn't worth the aggravation of running out of ink all the time if you are a heavier ink consumer.

Unable to connect via usb or other wired connections.

Great for home use! Prints, copies and scans. I noticed that printing or copying in COLOR on plain paper turns out LIGHTER than printing in just black and white. Even the black is noticeably lighter on the documents when printing using the color. Photos on photo paper turn out beautifully! (However, the photos are not quite as good as my previous printer, the Canon MG5720.) My biggest complaint is that you have to look online to see the user manual. I would have given the overall rating a 5, but I feel that alot of the explanations are poor for using the different operating features. The display screen on the front isn't very helpful in guiding users through the steps needed to print, copy or scan. I'm not into alot of technology stuff, so I find some of the instructions to be unclear. Once you figure out how to do the basics it a very nice printer for home use.

This Canon is an exceptional replacement for my old HP All-In-One. It is easy to set up. The quality of what I have printed so far has been great. What I also appreciate is the smaller footprint than my previous all-in-one.

I've used a ton of printers over the past few years, both in my job and personal life. My wife is a teacher, so inkjet printers tend to get worn out quickly in our house and it seems like there is always something new on our shelf. When I received the Canon PIXMA TS6420a for review, I was hoping it would compare favorably with similarly priced printers I've used in the past. What I found was a bit of a mixed bag. First, the good: after a pretty ordinary out of the box experience, I was impressed to see Canon includes a sample pack of their high quality glossy photo paper (4x6 size) and also that the quick start guide is really just a QR code for you to scan with your phone. This isn't new, of course - what was new is that the QR code took me directly to a page with a link to the Android app which made setting up and using the printer SUPER easy. Huge kudos to Canon for that. I was also extremely impressed with the quality of the photos I got with the included glossy paper. Regular color prints for a presentation and office document were just 'good' - not mindblowing but good enough that I'd be fine printing something to hand out at the office. Also, the manual feed slot that flips up from the back of the printer is a pretty good design and makes it really easy to print envelopes or photos without opening the main tray. There really isn't anything "bad" about the TS6420a, but there's just too much compromise for me. The color ink is a single CMY cartridge for all 3 colors, which means you're going to waste a lot of ink unless you always print the same amount of each color somehow. When Red runs out, it doesn't matter if you have yellow and blue left - too bad. For me the real dealbreaker is the size of the paper tray, though. The main tray only holds about 100 sheets and it just feels super tiny. Yes, the rear flip up tray can hold plain paper, taking you to 200 sheets, but it's all just too small. If you're looking for a printer primarily for photos that does a few other things, the TS6420a does reasonably good quality photos for a reasonably low asking price. I think the costs of buying the tri-color ink will add up over time, and the low paper capacity makes this frustrating to use for home office tasks.

So it's been about 20yrs since I've owned an inkjet printer. I've been using lasers for a long time and main for just BW prints. I've run and worked on high end large format inkjets at work though, like the Canon SC60000, so I've not been completely away from inkjet tech. Set up was a breeze, but a bit of a pain having to type in you SSID with the little menu nav buttons. Still simple without any issues. I could have opted for setup with my phone, but I'm more of a manual kind of guy so I can control everything I can. Everything was set and I fed it the two sheets it requested for head alignment. I was actually surprised that it didn't need any input from me. It printed, scanned, and adjusted all on its own. I remember having to print out the patterns and pick out the best results until you got to where you needed to be. Even some of the large formats still require manual calibration. This was a nice surprise. My test print was of a photo on standard quality. I most likely won't need anything higher than standard for what I print. Hit print an seconds later it was finished. This was a full sized photo on US Letter sized sheet and it was done so fast I thought I was printing on a economy model laser instead of an inkjet. It surprised me how fast it is.The head just zips quickly across the carriage rod faster than the old slow pokes from the early days of home printing. Wow, I was impressed. Next was a scanning test. This didn't go so well but I'm not sure if it's because Window's built in scan app is poor or if the Canon isn't good at it. Since copy came out pleasant I'd have to point to either Windows or scanning via Wifi just isn't good. Scanning isn't a high priority since I can just make copies, but it's something I'll have to dig in later when I download Photoshop or Affinity Photo and test their scanning capabilities. Knowing what I know about the large format printers, I do turn on the printer every day to let it run maintenance. Cart/Printhead replacement is relatively cheap compared to old days and to what we have to pay if we don't do maintenance on the large formats (some heads are $6000 each with 10 in the carriage). So to save a little headache I just let it run its cycle and auto shut down after a few hours. Honestly, I'm surprised how far home inkjet tech has come and how inexpensive inkjet carts have gotten. Still not as economical as laser, but far more affordable than they were 20 years ago. I definitely going to put some use on the Pixma.

Easy to setup with the app from my iPad, iPhone and MacBook. I turned off the eco setting that puts it to sleep after a few hours because it required me to push a button to wake. Now I can print wirelessly whenever and it’s waiting for me in the office. Also I originally got an HP model but didn’t realize it fed paper from the top so didn’t fit on my printer shelf. This one fits great even with the printed pages. It’s a pretty compact thing as far a printers go.

This printer works flawlessly with iOS devices, offering quick, reliable, and high-quality prints for both personal and professional use.

Did not come with an instruction booklet. Have to use internet instructions. Cannot get it to print. I will have to pay the Geek Squad to come to my home to install.

For the price this printer is feature packed, user friendly, and high quality. This is certainly not the highest end printer in the market, but for the majority of house hold users it will be a pleasent bang for the buck. Pros: - Ease of setup. While I struggled with this step slightly, I fully attribute it to user error. The companion application on mobile devices is slick and user friendly to guide through set up. - Companion Mobile Application. While this feature is relatively common these days, the Canon app is easy to use, responsive, and has all the features one might need. I especially liked the fact that trial photo paper was included in order to test out that printing ability. I feel as though the average household user will be pleasently surprised with the ease of printing pictures directly from their devices storage. Cons: - Build quality. Let's be honest, at this price point consumers should not expect a workforce level build quality from their printer. However, in opening the flaps to change ink, adjust the paper tray, scan a document, etc. It felt pretty flimsy. Things fall apart and disconnect and half the time I'm not sure if it is actually broken or just cheap. The lack of a touch screen here doesn't help as the navigation controls are not exactly fool proof.

I really enjoy Canon printers, and this one is no exception. This printer does everything I need it to, including copying, printing, and scanning. I love that it is wireless, and therefore compatible with many devices, including PCs, laptops, and cell phones. Getting this printer connected to wifi was a little bit of a pain, but it was easier to just use the screen on the printer rather than following the app instructions. This printer has both front and rear paper feeding trays, which allows for tons of different types of printing. I also love that it has the ability to print double-sided documents. It also can be loaded with photo paper and print pictures! The ink is easy to replace by just unclipping the right side of the scanner and lifting it up, which also makes general maintenance easier. It is nice to have everything controlled by a few different apps, but it ends up being quite a few apps with several different login accounts needed to use all features. It also automatically defaults to double-sided printing and color printing with few details on how to switch away from these defaults. All in all, this is a great printer for the price. The app usage needed is a little cumbersome sometimes, but it seems to be more than likely worth the trouble.

I purchased this printer for home use to replace a 15yr old HP PhotoSmart printer. It is very easy to install. It probably took no more than 15 minutes. I can now print wirelessly from my MAC and iPhone. Scanning is easy. The printer produces great quality pictures and text is good quality and I especially like that it can prints two sided documents. I am very happy with my purchase.

Great replacement for our PIXMA 3600. Fast, quiet, smaller form factor. Same excellent print and scanning quality.

Perfect for the space that I have. Works great! I would recommend.

I bought this for my sister after being unable to setup her old printer. It was easy to setup and connect to the wifi and works great. I am generally no a big fan of color cartridges that do all three colors in one unit, but she doesn't do a lot of color printing - primarily in black and white. The cartridges are reasonably priced and the printer works well - all at a good price.

Great printer for the price point. Ink is readily available

did not last 6 months need to buy a new one was told by employee this was she used and was great

I am amazed at this printer! Quick and easy online purchase. Setup was no problem once this "novice" figured out the right the right wireless password! It has performed flawlessly and sometimes it seems the printer knows what I want before I do!! Both Canon and Best Buy provide excellent support. Overall this was an excellent purchase!!
