The Canon PIXMA TS6420 has a mediocre design and build quality. It is made entirely of plastic, and there is a smooth finish that feels good to the touch. The scanner hinges extend high enough to accommodate a charger and the lid does not close on itself while it is fully extended. In addition, the power cord is removable, which is useful if damaged. The back inbox feels thin and unreliable, while the output tray feels thin and elastic. Access to paper jams is a tedious three-step process and is not easy to use and the printer must be turned on to replace ink cartridges.
The Canon PIXMA TS6420 is a very good printer for family use. The quality of the printed photos is excellent as they have good details and little color on the grayscale. While cartridges are quite affordable, they also have poor performance and often need to be replaced. There is a flat scanner and the lid can be completely extended to accommodate thicker objects such as small books, but there is no sheet scanner.
The Canon PIXMA TS6420 is a perfect all-in-one inkjet printer for family use. The quality of the photo is excellent due to the good details and very low coloring on the grayscale, and the accuracy of the color is quite perishable for casual use, although those who need accurate reproduction of the color should consider something else. It only has two cartridges, and although they are not expensive to buy, they have low yields and often need to be replaced. On the plus side, it supports a Bluetooth connection and is compatible with the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY application.
The Canon PIXMA TS6420 is a high-quality printer for students. It has a better cost for color printing than only black, but both cartridges have low yields and often need to be replaced. Printing speed is also slow, regardless of printing. There is no sheet scanner, so you scanned each page individually using the plane. On the plus side, it has excellent connectivity options, including Bluetooth support.
The Canon PIXMA TS6420 is a weak printer for small offices and home offices. Cartridges have poor page yield and often need to be replaced. On the plus side, they are not expensive to replace. There is no sheet scanner, so you need to scan each page individually using the plan. In addition, the design makes it tedious to access paper jams. On the plus side, it has great connectivity options and is quite compact in size.
It is compatible with the outstanding Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY application. You can scan, print and copy from the application and sort the ink directly from Canon.
