Customer Ratings & Reviews

The most user-friendly printer I've ever purchased. I can print on two sides, in color, black and white, photos. I can manage the print settings easily. It has a paper tray underneath the printer and a rear feed paper tray. It's quiet. I don't have to stop what I'm doing to adjust anything while it's printing... I'm amazed that I don't have to intervene to assist the printer mid-print job as I had to do with ALL of my previous printers (I've had many mostly HP - high and low end -). Yay.

It is a great printer. Small. Quiet. Reliable. The catch is the same as for all other printers. It is cheaper to purchase the same new printer ($59) than both black and white and color ink cartridges for it ($65, XL size).

This is my review for the Canon - PIXMA TS6420a Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer. Set up and install were very easy for this printer. I had a little bit of an issue when set it up on the wireless network. After trying to get it up and running the third time worked for me. I'm not sure if it was my wifi or the printer software. I was happy to see that this printer also prints photos, so that's a nice bonus and will save me a trip to a store to print photos out. My grandmother will really appreciated that! The printer itself is pretty quiet, I haven't had any issues with print quality either, but it's also a brand new machine. I had concerns about the cost of the toner but I was able to find it online for a decent price just under $30. I wish that the toner that was included was larger. Hopefully the toner will last a while as I don't print too often at home. The scanner works very well and I haven't had any issues with it. Overall I'm pretty happy with this printer!!!!!!

Set up was very easy - scans, prints and copies nice and is small and quiet. Use USB as blue tooth unstable.

Do not purchase! cheaply made… after printing a few 30ish page documents, the drawer decided to give up on me and won’t close. Super slow, and a complete waste of time. Now past the return period and can’t get my money back… don’t be fooled by the positive reviews… I was.

When I received this printer I had intentions of using it at my office at work, however, my younger son is going off to college in the middle of August and as soon as he saw it he asked if he could have it to take to college. I was a little reluctant that it would be to large of a “footprint” and really “to much of a printer” for what he would need while a Freshman in college. However, we went to orientation several days after we received it and I think it will be just fine. Its a pleasant looking printer that is simple to use and setup. He literally had it connected to his iPad, iPhone, and laptop within minutes. Installing the supplied ink cartridges was a breeze. What I truly love about this printer is the quality of prints. My son had to print off some forms for work/school and they came out looking great. I had some bulletins that I downloaded and printed out for work and I was so impressed with the color quality, granted, they took a little longer to print than our industrial printer, to me the quality of print was better (I only printed 10, in a given week for our Church we print 200) but I was so happy that we have decided to purchase three of these to replace our older printers in the employee offices. If you are looking for a reasonable printer, that is easy to setup, install the ink and print in minutes from any of ypur devices. THIS IS IT

Out of the box, this printer is a bit on the big side. Not overly big, but just enough that it may be more difficult to place in your room or office. It is a wireless printer so all you have to do is connect to your home or work wifi and install the drivers on your computer or device and you are all set. You can print from your computer, tablet, phone, etc. Once you power on and connect to the wifi, definitely check for a firmware update. The screen on the printer is small, but easy to navigate and set up. This printer is definitely centered on presentation sheets or photos. For full color photos, it does a great job on printer clarity, but you also need to make sure you run the maintenance on the print head often to keep everything clear and aligned. Its print speed varies how color intensive your photo or document is, but overall is pretty quick. There are several alignment spots for different sizes of paper or photo sheets. I think it prints the best on photo glossy sheets. The scanner software is easy to set up and use as well. Once you install the drivers, you can just put in what you want to scan make copies or send to your device to save or print later. Scan quality is ok, but gets the job done and shows all of the details you need to acurately copy. Overall, Inkjet printers do a great job at printing the high quality photos or documents you need, but the cartridge cost is always high, so expect to be spending quite a bit on those color cartridges. I like the ease of use with this printer and its clarity and colors especially used on photo sheets. I would recommend.

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!!

I got this for my least tech-savvy child. I was there if there were problems but let them set up and use. They found it super simple to set up and use so they were delighted and so was I. I find it to be a good home printer where you aren't running off hundreds of copies a day. It works great for school reports, printing a shopping list and items of that nature. It doesn't print as fast as I would prefer but is fine for what we need. It has two paper feeds, one a dedicated paper tray which I very much appreciate and also a paper feed where you can print photos, envelopes or other than regular sized paper items. The black and white copies are crisp and look great. I'm of two minds with the color prints. They are okay for this class of printer, not great but not bad. The color quality seems a bit off to me but it wasn't as bad using dedicated photo paper as it was printing on regular paper. The dedicated paper tray sticks so can be a bit difficult to use. When I think of an all-in-one printer, I think copy/print/scan/fax. This printer does not fax if you are looking for those, skip it. I'm also a bit concerned by the amount of ink already used but will wait to make a determination once we use a cartridges we've bought, not just what was provided. Overall, I find this to be a good printer for what I think of as regular, home use - school papers, homework and printing out lists, receipts and letters.

It does what it needs to do... print. But it prints pictures with very very light colors. And there is no way to fix it.

The Canon - PIXMA TS6420a Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer does a good job handling all the basics I was looking for in a home printer. Following are the pros and cons I found while setting this printer up and using it: PROS: - You can print, make copies, and scan. - It has a normal paper tray and also a paper feed mechanism in the back if you want to feed other types of paper or envelopes through for printing or copying. - You can print single or double-sided. - You can print wirelessly from either a PC or from your smart phone. I have been printing from an iPhone and it works very well. There is a jack to connect a PC via cord if you don't want to print wirelessly, but you will need to purchase the cord as it does not come with one since it is a wireless printer. - Set up was easy. You scan a QR code and it pulls up a set up manual. It comes with both a starter black and color ink cartridge. - There is a Canon Print App you download as part of the setup also. It allows you to pull up manuals, check ink levels, order ink, check link and signal strength, update firmware, operate the print/scan/copy functions, get into settings and many other options. It is a nice app that lets you do a lot of functions. - There is also an LED screen and buttons to perform all functions directly from the unit itself. - On the unit you can push a QR button on any function you are trying to perform and it will generate a QR code to take you to the online instructions for that function. - I've tested all functions and they all work well. CONS: - The LED screen is quite small, only 1.25" x 1.25" square. They seem to make everything fit on the screen if you want to do a function on the device, but the print on the screen ends up being pretty small. - While the QR codes and online manuals worked fine for me, it would be nice to have a printed manual and set up guide to refer to also, especially for folks who may not be comfortable using QR codes and Apps and just want to operate everything from the unit. Overall this printer will meet all my home printer needs and the App will make it convenient to do everything wirelessly from my iPhone.

Not user friendly. Difficult to make copies and can not change the auto shut off .

Easy setup, sharp print quality. This printer fits comfortably in a smaller space.

I was really happy with the ease of setup on this printer. I've had mixed luck with printers in the past, so I was impressed with how easily this one went. I simply downloaded the Canon App on my android phone and looked for the printer. The app took over and prompted me through a few steps to have the printer join the network and I was set! Loading the two ink cartridges was also simple, the top just flips open and they go into their respective, clearly marked cradles. The front paper cartridge holds a good amount of paper and is easy to load. I have regular paper loaded there and there's a rear paper-feed for photo paper. There was a small sample of photo paper included. First off I tried a couple photo prints from my phone using the app. It was simple enough and printed fairly quickly. The prints themselves are detailed but definitely somewhat washed out. Colors don't seem to pop, most likely due to the fact that there is just one color and one black cartridge. I've had better results with other printers that take separate cartridges for CMYK. Text, on the other hand, is sharp and prints very quickly. Also, I have an older Canon point and shoot camera with WiFi. It was pretty slick that I could join the same network as my printer and print directly to it with ease. The camera even let me specify which kind of photo paper was loaded into the printer for best results. If you have a Canon camera with wireless capability, this would be an excellent companion! The front display, while tiny, is nice and sharp. I really like when manufacturers use OLED displays for their readability. At any point if you need help there's a button next to the display that will bring up a QR code for directions on your phone. Also, and this is probably silly, but I really like the white LED strip on the front that shows when the power is on and "scans" from side to side when the printer is in use. I'm a sucker for animated lighting! While I find this to be an adequate all-around printer for the office I would look elsewhere if you are more interested in printing your photos.

In the past few years I’ve picked had numerous new printers. From the normal inkjets to laser printers, from dirt cheap to high end multifunction all-in-one printers that run on ridiculously expensive toner. Canon is of course a name I knew about since 20+ years ago I bought my first Canon Rebel XT Digital SLR camera after we had our kiddos (twin boys). The camera was a monster & took amazing photos. I even bought my parents one like mine. So to say we were happy with it would be an understatement. I have been very happy this far with the Canon Pixma printer. From the unboxing and seeing the da familiar Canon colors, to the build quality of the printer itself, to the ease of setting it up and printing from it, to the quality of the printing, this Pixma is a nice addition to our home. Is it cheaper than store bought prints? No, no it won’t be. But I still like the quality of the printed photos & I can foresee it saving me in a pinch! All-in-all I am extremely happy with the Pixma, and look forward to our continual use of this cool little printer!

The printer is very easy to setup and start using out of the box. It came with starter ink cartridges for both black and color. I prefer the ink cartridges over the reservoirs that you fill individually with ink due to there being a smaller chance of making a mess. A small sample pack of 4x6 glossy photo paper was also included. It only took a few minutes to insert the ink cartridges and connect the printer to my network. I used the provided photo paper to print a photo from my phone and it came out great. It was easy to print using the Canon print app from my phone. Printing from my laptop was just as easy. The dual paper loading feature is great. I can leave regular paper loaded in the bottom and feed photo paper from the back when I do need to print photos. The scanner works as just as intended. I made a couple copies of a picture my child colored because he wanted it hung in his room and on the fridge. Overall I am very happy with this printer. It doesn't take up a lot of space on my desk and I can see it lasting for quite a while.

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.
