The lead model in Canon's Pixma TS-series customer grade photograph all-in-one (AIO) inkjet printers, the Canon Pixma TS9120 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One ($199) replaces the Pixma TS9020 we evaluated recently. Like its sibling, the Pixma TS8020, a top pick, the TS9120 is a six-ink machine intended to print essentially photos, and that it really does very well. It prints and duplicates archives well, as well, however slowly, contrasted and its business-arranged partners, and it comes up short on programmed record feeder (ADF). In any case, its outstanding result quality, bigger showcase, and Ethernet support for just $20 more than the Canon TS8020 makes it well-deserving of our Editors' Choice as a customer grade photograph and infrequent report printer for home and family use.
Pick a Color
A piece of a new five-model introduction of Canon's TS-series Pixmas, the TS9120 ($149.99 at Walmart) is accessible in three tones: red, dim, and gold. (Canon sent us the dark model.) As the most costly model in the series, it therefore has the most highlights. Its essential distinction from the following model down is that it upholds wired networking (Ethernet), and it has a 5-inch shading contact screen control board, contrasted and the (destined to-be-audited) Canon Pixma TS8120's 4.3-inch screen.
While the lower models down the chain have less highlights than the TS9120, the essential contrast among it and the Canon Pixma TS6120 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One ($199.99 at Amazon) is that the lower-end model purposes five inks, instead of six. The two extra inks are shade dark (which is the Canon TS6120's fifth ink) and photograph blue (the TS9120's 6th ink). The first obscures text and makes dark regions in photographs and designs a more profound dark, and, according to Canon, the photograph blue ink increases definition (by helping to eliminate graininess) and increases the shading range.
The TS9120 measures 5.6 by 14.7 by 12.8 inches (HWD), and it weighs 14.7 pounds, making it a similar size and weight as the Canon TS9020, as well as the Canon TS8120. The four-ink HP Envy Photo 7855 All-in-One ($229.99 at HP) , with its 35-page ADF, is a couple inches greater in all bearings and gauges a little north of 3 pounds more than the TS9120, as does Canon's own Pixma TR8520 Home Office Wireless All-in-One (another top pick), which has a 20-sheet ADF. For any situation, all are small to the point of sitting easily on all yet the smallest work areas. See More: Canon G7020 Printer
Canon Pixma TS9120 Input
Concerning paper handling, the TS9120 accompanies two input plate, one front and center and one that reaches out and up from the rear of the case. The two drawers hold up to 100 sheets of plain paper or 20 sheets of premium photograph paper in the back plate. The HP 7855 holds up to 125 pieces of paper and 15 sheets of photograph paper at the same time.
The extensive and simple to-utilize 5-inch contact screen show, alongside the power button and power status light, involves the whole control board. Likewise, the TS9120 upholds printing to pre-surfaced CDs, DVDs, and Blu-beam circles by means of a small caddy that slides in underneath the result plate, as does its ancestor and its TR8520 ($99.99, best case scenario, Buy) and TS8120 siblings, however not the HP 7855.
Simple Setup, Wide-Ranging Connectivity
Canon TS-series Pixmas are intended for locally established office and family use, and hence ought to be idiot proof to install. Like all the other Pixma models I've set up, this one was a no brainer. After you plug it in and turn it on, all around planned energized exhibitions tell you the best way to stack the six ink cartridges and the paper plate, and how to associate the AIO to your wired or wireless organization. (It likewise upholds an association with a single PC by means of USB, however that technique abridges your portable and cloud availability choices).
Whenever the situation allows, for consistency, we test printers over Ethernet, however with the TS9120 you additionally get Wi-Fi and USB, as well as Bluetooth 4.0. Normally, I would recognize the expansion of Bluetooth, yet this has all the earmarks of being an option to (or inexpensive substitute for) the close field correspondence (NFC) and Wi-Fi Direct shared wireless conventions most different producers use, which are a lot quicker and more extensive ranging than Bluetooth. However at that point again, most cell phones these days have Wi-Fi, which usually functions as great or better than those other three association strategies.
Canon Pixma TS9120 Mobile
You can likewise print from SD cards and wireless PictBridge with the TS9120, which is upheld by a few Canon computerized cameras and advanced video cams. Notwithstanding Bluetooth and SD cards, versatile network additionally includes: Canon Print application for accessing cloud destinations and printing messages; Google Cloud Print; Mopria; Pixma Cloud Link; My Image Garden, an assortment of picture amendment (redeye, for instance) and enhancements channels; and Creative Park Premium, an assortment of record layouts.
No Speed Demon
The capacity to print (and duplicate) records on purchaser grade photograph printers like the TS9120 and most others is offered more as an idea in retrospect you can make it happen assuming that you want to, yet doing so much of the time turns into an activity in persistence. All things considered, Canon rates the TS9120 at 15 monochrome pages each minute (ppm). It printed our 12-page essentially organized Microsoft Word message report at the pace of 13.2ppm, which is 0.3ppm quicker than the Canon TS9020 and 0.5ppm quicker than the HP Envy 7855. (Pretty much every other purchaser grade photograph printer we've tried as of late conveyed comparative scores.)

At the point when I blended the outcomes from the above monochrome text archive test with those that I got while timing the TS9120 as it printed our shading Acrobat, Excel, and PowerPoint records containing photographs and illustrations, it scored 4.7ppm. Again, that is very near the hours of its rivals. The HP 7855, for instance, printed our whole set-up of test records at a normal of 4.6ppm.
Where these photograph driven models really do perform well is while printing, all things considered, photographs. The TS9120 printed our profoundly itemized and vivid 4-by-6-inch previews at a normal of 32 seconds each, contrasted and its ancestor's 33 seconds and the HP 7855's 40 seconds.
Yield That's Worth The Wait
The TS9120 might be slow, however pretty much everything it prints and duplicates looks very great, especially photographs. In any case, we should begin with text. Characters down to around 6 points or so looked stupendous, and, surprisingly, a portion of the enlivening textual styles we tried were very much formed and preferable looking over what we saw with most other inkjet machines. Our business designs and PowerPoint freebees looked extraordinary, as well, with exact, brilliant tones, and hairlines (1 point or less) came out smooth and all around delineated. Be that as it may, I saw perceptible banding in the strong dark foundation on one of our full-page Excel graphs. I obtained similar outcomes as of late while reviewing Canon's five-ink Pixma TR8520, the leader model in the organization's new TR-series work space printers. Truth be told, in spite of the absence of a photograph blue ink, the TR8520 printed our test photographs and different archives much the same way and at similar paces as the TS9120.
Canon Pixma TS9120 SD Card
While there are a few contenders that print similar photos, Canon's six-ink photograph printers produce flawlessly point by point, precisely shaded, and dynamic photographs. As may be obvious (even with the introduction of the new photograph blue ink), the overall picture quality itself hasn't really changed throughout the course of recent years, which is likely great, in light of the fact that the main way quality could go is down.
Wonderful For Photos
Like the Canon Pixma TS9020 and the long line of six-ink, purchaser grade photograph printers before it, the Canon Pixma TS9120 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One is a profoundly fit photograph printer and simply a marginal office AIO, due essentially to its absence of an ADF, languid archive printing, and to some degree high running expenses (all six-ink printers cost more than their four-ink partners to utilize). Assuming you really want practically identical photographs and an ADF, look at the Canon Pixma TR8520, and for the most reduced cost photographs, HP's Envy Photo 7855, with that organization's Instant Ink membership, is a decent decision.
If the most ideal photographs from a generally minimal expense, shopper grade printer is the thing you're later, notwithstanding, the TS9120 is the best approach. It's our most recent Editors' Choice for shopper grade photograph and light-obligation work space AIO printer.
