One rung down in Canon’s lineup from the Pixma TS9120 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer—our Editors’ Choice consumer photocentric all-in-one printer—stands the Canon Pixma TS8120 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One, and it stands tall. It has all its prizewinning sibling’s printing chops, thanks to its six ink tanks, and prints excellent text and very good graphics. The TS9120 is more versatile, thanks to its inclusion of Ethernet connectivity, and retains its Editors’ Choice, but if you can make do with USB and Wi-Fi, you can save a little money with the TS8120 and get an excellent household printer.

BUILT FOR THE HOME

A three-function all-in-one printer, the TS8120 is able to print, scan, and copy but not fax. It has a handsome (if basic) design and comes in a choice of three colors: white, red, or black. The printer measures a compact 5.5 by 14.7 by 12.8 inches (HWD), and weighs 14.4 pounds. The front panel, which can be tilted upward for easy access, includes a 4.3-inch color touch LCD, a little smaller than the 5-inch display on the Canon TS9120. To the left of the output tray is a slot for memory cards in the SD family.

Paper capacity is 200 sheets, between a 100-sheet main tray and a 100-sheet rear feeder (which can also fit up to 20 sheets of letter-size photo paper. The TS8120 also includes a tray for direct printing onto optical discs. It has an auto-duplexer for two-sided printing. On top is a letter-sized flatbed scanner, which lacks an ADF.
