Review about new Canon Pixma TS8320 printer

The Canon Pixma TS8320 ($129) is a compact, inkjet all-in-one that is best suited for photo-printing enthusiasts. It has an SD card slot on its front panel, can print on specially coated CD/DVD discs and offers two paper trays so you can keep plain as well as photo paper loaded. 

Most important for photographers, the TS8320 is outfitted with six individual ink cartridges, offering the possibility of a wider color gamut in photo prints by employing a photo blue ink cartridge in addition to two black inks and the traditional cyan, magenta and yellow.

The TS8320 comes in black, white and red, and offers some fun features aimed at smart home enthusiasts: support for Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and IFTTT (If This Then That).

Design

With its paper trays retracted and the touch-screen control panel folded down against the body, the TS8320 is very compact, measuring roughly 14.6 x 12.5 x 5.5 inches. However, the depth increases to 14 inches when you extend the paper cassette beneath the body to hold letter-size paper. The rear input tray significantly increases the depth; it angles backward when lifted for use, making the total depth about 25 inches. The rear paper tray also increases the height to roughly 11.5 inches.

To operate the TS8320, you use the large, 4.3-inch color touch screen, which makes a big first impression and worked well in our testing. There are not any physical buttons on the control panel other than the power button. The big touch screen offers large virtual buttons for the three main functions (copy, scan and print) and smaller icons along the bottom for making changes to settings. We found the menus well organized and intuitive to navigate. 

The SD card slot is on the front panel, at the bottom left next to the paper cassette. This allows you to print photos directly from a camera's memory card, without having to plug it into a PC. There is no USB Direct print port for printing files from a thumb drive.

"To operate the TS8320, you use the large, 4.3-inch color touch screen, which makes a big first impression and worked well in our testing."

Print speed

Text printing was roughly average in speed. The TS8320 printed our five-page test document in 34.4 seconds, or 8.7 pages per minute (ppm), versus the category average of 9 ppm for comparable models. The Editor's Choice Canon Pixma TS9120 printed the same document in just under 27 seconds (11.2 ppm).

Our six-page, mixed-text and graphics PDF printed more quickly that average, arriving in 1 minute and 52 seconds, or 3.5 ppm, versus the average of 2 minutes and 14 seconds, or 2.7 ppm.

Photo printing was impressively fast. Our letter-size, high-resolution glossy print emerged in 2 minutes and 2 seconds — less than half the average time of 4 minutes and 15 seconds. The Canon TS9120 was similarly fast, printing the photo 5 seconds faster than the TS8320. The Epson Expression XP-640 was slower, taking 2 minutes and 33 seconds. 

Copy and scan speed

The TS8320 made a color copy in 23 seconds, which was faster than the category average of 27.7 seconds. By comparison, the TS9120 made a color copy in 17.3 seconds; but the fastest model to date, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025, made a color copy in just 12.5 seconds.

The TS8320 made black-and-white copies at roughly average speed, making a copy in 14.6 seconds, compared with the category average of 15.8 seconds. (The fastest model on this test is the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025, at 8.7 seconds.)

Print quality

Text prints from the TS8320 looked good, but not great. Letterforms looked adequately dark, but up-close edges looked somewhat bumpy. 

Graphics looked more impressive, printing with well-saturated, natural-looking colors and accurate contrast. Details looked sharp and midtone transitions looked smooth. Some very mild banding was evident in flat areas, as were the borders of text boxes in our test PDF. Duplex prints looked just as good as single-sided prints.

Glossy photos had plenty of detail and accurate textures. I liked the prints I got on glossy and matte papers. Colors looked well saturated and very natural. There were differences, however, compared with glossy prints from the Epson XP-640, for example: Our test portrait's light complexion looked "cooler" and was not "warmed up" like the Epson's, with reds and yellows more saturated in the skin tone.

Ink cost and yield

The TS8320 uses six ink cartridges: a pigment black (primarily for text), a dye-based black (primarily for graphics) and four dye-based colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and photo blue). Three capacities of ink cartridges are offered: standard and two levels of high yield (XL and XXL).

Overall, according to our calculations, the TS8320's ink costs are higher than the average for comparable inkjet printers we've tested. For the following costs, we calculated using the cost of individual ink cartridges.

Using standard cartridges, the TS8320 offers costs per page of 9.5 cents and 23.6 cents for text and graphics, respectively, versus the averages of 7 cents for text and 19.6 cents for graphics. By comparison, the Epson XP-640 has lower-than-average costs per page of 5.8 cents and 18.8 cents, respectively.

Setup and software

Basic setup of the TS8320 was straightforward. You remove half a dozen pieces of orange shipping tape and some cellophane. Plug in the printer, turn it on and select your language on the touch screen, which then walks you through the ink cartridge installation, showing a graphic of each cartridge as you install it.

Although a CD-ROM comes in the box, the printed start guide's large print instructs you to go online (ij.start.canon>setup>go>start) to download the software. (The CD-ROM setup is covered at the bottom of the page, in small print.) 

The software download includes the printer driver, scan utility (Win/Mac) and a Scan Utility Lite option for Macs. The online download, however, did not include the Easy-PhotoPrint Editor application. I had to find that myself on the TS8320's Drivers & Downloads page. The same was true of the online software installation I ran for a Mac running OS 10.12 (Sierra). Easy-PhotoPrint Editor is used to create and print collages, calendars, cards, stickers and CD/DVD disc labels.

How to tell if your printer or copier has a hard drive?

A question we get asked often is “Does my printer/copier have a hard drive?”. This is a great question to ask and even The question to ask especially when you are disposing of a device from your office.

Copier hard drives can hold all sorts of information on them, print jobs, fax jobs, company information, and user information. There is more stored on a hard drive that could hurt your company than you may realize.  It is best to have this drive removed from your device and destroyed by a company that will certify the destruction.

How do you know if your printer or copier has a hard drive in it to destroy? 

Look on the Datasheet

Finding the Datasheet

From what I found with my time in the managed print industry, the quickest and easiest way to find out if a printer or copier has a hard drive is through the datasheet. A Datasheet sometimes called a spec sheet or a brochure is a document released by the manufacturer of the device with information regarding that machines' recommended capabilities, volume and installed hardware.

You can find this by searching Google. I recommend the following query:

“[[ Manufacturer name ]] [[ printer or copier name and/or identifying number ]] datasheet”

This formula can look a little odd, but to put it in practical terms, it would look like:

“HP E87660 datasheet” or “Xerox AltaLink C8070 datasheet” 

Also read How to Install Canon Pixma pro 100 Setup without CD

Where to Look on the Datasheet

Once you have the datasheet/spec sheet/brochure opened, the information you’re looking for is kept towards the end of the document. The last page, or last few pages, will become a sort of grid with all the information about the device presented in bland technical terms. The left-hand side of this grid will have a column of section headers. Scroll through this until you find the header “Hard Drive” or Hard Disk". This section will let you know the details about that device's drive.

Here are some examples of this for the HP E87660 and the Xerox AltaLink C8070 I mentioned before (I have highlighted the Hard Drive section, the datasheets do not come with that):

HP E87660

Xerox AltaLink C8070

If there is no “Hard Drive” section, you can be fairly sure your device is hard drive free. I say fairly sure because I am unfamiliar with every manufacturer and the information they include in their datasheets. I have not run into one yet that hasn’t included this section if their device has a hard drive installed, but I cannot say for sure that this will always be the case.

The Difference Between Memory and Hard Drive

One thing to keep in mind when reviewing a datasheet is the difference between ‘memory’ and ‘hard drive’.  

Memory refers to a machine's random access memory or RAM. A very basic explanation of RAM is temporary memory. This does not store long term data, but instead only holds operating data for functions currently in use. Once the function is complete, the RAM is cleared of that memory.  It is perfectly fine to leave this in your printer or copier when you dispose of it.

A hard drive stores long term information including fax jobs, print jobs, user information and more. This is what you will want to remove when disposing of a printer or copier.

How to Install Canon Pixma pro 100 Setup without CD

Canon printers are shipped with a setup CD to help consumers connect the printer to a computer. Depending on the printer model, the Canon printer setup CD may include some extra software applications related to printing. For example, the Pixma MX922 comes with Easy-PhotoPrint and My Image Garden applications for creating and printing photo projects. Although the CD provides a convenient way to quickly access the software needed for printing, you may still be able to connect a computer to a Canon printer even if you don't have the CD.

Install Canon Printer Without CD

Whether you've lost the CD for a Canon printer or don't have a CD reader on your computer, you can visit the Canon Support website to access the user manual and setup software. After entering the printer model and information about your computer's operating system, you can download the software needed to install and run the printer, which is most cases includes a setup utility and driver. The driver is the software the interfaces the computer with the printer. You can also download all the applications that were originally included on the setup CD, although this step is optional.

One benefit of downloading printer software directly from the manufacturer's website is being assured that you have the most current version. Software provided on a setup CD can become outdated in a matter of months.

You can also update the printer's firmware from the Canon website. Firmware is pre-installed software that controls the printer. Having a current driver and updated firmware can help avoid problems with printing.

Installing Canon Printer on Windows

If your computer is running a version of Microsoft Windows, you'll need to be logged on as an administrator before you can install printer driver software from either the Canon setup CD or downloaded from the Canon website. After downloading the setup and driver software, you should be given an option to run it. If you don't run a download file immediately, you can do so later my locating it in the "Downloads" folder and double-clicking on it.

Once setup is complete and the printer driver is installed, you may still need to complete steps in Windows to add the printer to the computer. These steps vary depending on the version of Windows you're running. Type "add printer" in the search field of the Control Panel if you're not sure how to proceed.

Using Built-In Print Drivers

If you want to do some quick basic printing without taking the time to download and install a driver and other software, you may be able to take advantage of your computer's built-in printer drivers. More recent versions of Windows and Mac computers include drivers for some popular printer brands as part of the operating system. These drivers only work for printers that support a USB connection and do not support many special features the printer may provide.

To find out if you can use a built-in driver, connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable and turn the printer on (you may need to use an adapter for the USB connector on a Mac). In many cases, turning on the printer will trigger printer installation. When installation is complete, you should be able to add the printer. Although this method may allow you to print, Canon recommends that you download the correct software if you plan to do a lot of printing.
