The Canon PIXMA TS6420a is a low-cost all-in-one inkjet printer for home use. The Canon PIXMA TS6420 is replaced by it. This type used a two-cartridge system, one for black ink and one for tri-color ink, same as its predecessor. It works with the high-yield Canon PG-260XL and CL-261XL cartridges as well as the PG-260 and CL-260 cartridges. It features an 8.5×11 flatbed scanner, two input trays, a main cassette, a rear manual feeder, and a 1.5-inch OLED display. Wi-Fi and USB connectivity are available, along with support for Mopria Print Service and Apple AirPrint.
For domestic use
For family use, the Canon PIXMA TS6420a is a good printer. For doing simple tasks like scanning a few pictures, recipes, or signed documents, it contains a flatbed scanner. It prints documents in excellent quality, however it prints slowly, so printing multi-page documents could take some time. Printed images are quite detailed, but the colors—particularly the reds and blues—are not very true to life. You’ll need to buy new cartridges frequently because it doesn’t produce many pages before its ink cartridges run out.
For office use
For offices, the Canon PIXMA TS6420a is not a suitable printer. It prints excellent documents, but its cartridges don’t last long before they run out, so if you print a lot for work, you’ll need to replace them frequently. It takes a lot of time to manually place and scan each sheet on the flatbed because it lacks an automatic document feeder. It takes a few minutes to prepare 20-page documents because it prints slowly.
For students
For students, the Canon TS6420a is a good printer. It prints slowly, so your lengthy, multi-page projects may take several minutes to print out, even if it generates crisp black and color papers. Its page yields are also not particularly great, requiring frequent cartridge replacement. Positively, you can still scan your notes, sketches, or textbook pages if needed because it has a flatbed scanner in addition to an automatic document feeder. There are numerous options for wireless printing, including as Apple AirPrint, Mopria Print Service, and Wi-Fi.
Black and white printing
When printing black and white documents, the Canon TS6420a performs poorly. It barely prints about 100 pages before the ink runs out, thus purchasing new cartridges will cost you a lot of money. Long documents will take some time to produce because of its slow printing speed. It takes some time for it to wake up and print a page if it hasn’t been used for more than an hour if you only print one every few hours.
Photo printing
Because it produces crisp, detailed photos, the Canon PIXMA TS6420a is a good picture printer. While most colours seem fine, the most strange hues are blues, reds, and blacks. Otherwise, it prints on a variety of paper types, such as heat-transfer sheets, glossy picture paper, and magnetic photo paper, and can produce a 4×6 photo in less than a minute.
