Canon Pixma TS8251 Printer Review

Expert review of the Canon Pixma TS8251 printer

Our Verdict:

The Canon Pixma TS8251 is a multifunction, colour printer which utilises inkjet technology to print, copy and scan. Producing professional standard documents and photographs, this is also an excellent model for a busy household, allowing all the family to print from their chosen devices. A fun feature is the ability to print on other media to create stickers and even nail stickers. While the six ink system produces outstanding results with black pigment ink enhancing text documents and the photo blue reducing the graininess of photographs, this does inevitably increase the ongoing running costs.

Design

With dimensions of 373 x 319 x 140 mm, the Canon Pixma TS8251 is a compact device with a white casing. It takes six ink cartridges in the colours pigment black, black, yellow, magenta, cyan and photographic blue. At the rear, the paper tray holds 20 sheets of photo paper or 100 sheets of plain paper, while the front cassette holds 100 sheets. There is also a multi-purpose tray for other media. The device is controlled and monitored from a 10.8 cm colour touchscreen on the front. Printing resolution is 4800x1200 dpi and the printing speeds are 10 ppm for colour documents and 15 ppm for monochrome printing. Connection is achieved via a USB interface or wirelessly.

Advantages

Canon PRINT apps, cloud connectivity and wireless connectivity, make it easy to print using the Canon Pixma TS8251 from the device of your choice. Using a compatible device, it is even possible to take advantage of voice activated printing. With six inks, you can produce lab quality photographs. It enhances creativity with a choice of printing media including magnets and stickers.

Disadvantages

The Canon Pixma TS8251 uses a six-ink system which is an expensive option, so consider how important the additional quality is to you before purchasing. Initial setup is time consuming and changing the cartridges will take more time than other four ink systems.
