My Pixma MG 6220 finally died, so I decided on the TS 8820 because it was a brand new model. One little hiccup occurred the other day when it was stuck in processing mode. I turned it off and restarted it; after that, it was fine. I do like the fact that it has 6 inkjet colors and it prints very fast.

I received a Cannon Pixma TS8820 printer free to try! All I was asked to do was try it and leave an hobest review. I was immediately impressed with its exceptional print quality! It delivers sharp text and a wide range of vibrant colors! Setup is easy and straightforward, and the user-friendly touch screen makes navigation easy. It also boasts impressive speed, producing documents quickly without sacrificing quality. Additionally, features like wireless connectivity and mobile printing enhance convenience. Something that I noticed was how little noise it makes compared to previous printers Ive used. This is a huge plus for me! Overall, it’s a great choice for both home and office use. I'd recommend for sure.

Great for photos, hard to set up

I was sent this printer as a free sample to review. Overall, it's an effective mid-range printer. The printing is slightly blurred/not 100% crisp on all purpose paper, but fine for most things including reports. I also printed photos on glossy paper which turned out better. I like how sturdy this is, the option of loading the paper from the top or front (good options for storing it in tight spaces), and the tilt screen.
Some issues I had with this printer are that there are a few parts that easily come off (paper tray areas) when moving it around my counter, and although no pink or yellow printed on the first alignment test, the full color photos I later printed had all the colors.
It took me over an hour to figure out how to set this up/get something to print! The app wasn't working on my android, and I could only connect to print from my Google Drive, which was an annoying extra step to upload it there from my computer. My laptop found it via the wi-fi connection, but only saw it as a scanner; I couldn't print a PDF. After much Googling I finally got it working, and have had no troubles printing 6 documents on different days, and 8 color photos on glossy paper (this was the most helpful tutorial: https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/article/ART171728).
Overall, this printer seems overly complicated to set up, but has many options on the touchscreen for ease of printing (print directly from Dropbox, Evernote and Google Photos, among others). It printed photos really nicely.
This seems to use a newer ink style (Canon 231) so it's harder to find.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall Good Printer

I received this product in exchange for a review. Overall, printer was very good. It was a little tricky to set up. Colors are great, however it does blur the ink a little bit. It’s great for printing in general, but anything that is smaller print or very detailed, it struggles a bit especially when printing multiple pages in a row.

I am very happy with the Canon PIXMA TS8820 printer. I have used a Canon PIXMA MG7720 printer for the past several years. In my opinion, the TS8820 is a faster printer with similar print quality and a huge step up in software development. The TS8820 is so much easier for me to use.

Great Printer for Decent Price Point

I received the Canon Pixma TS8820 in exchange for an objective review.
First thing I noticed about the printer was that it was compact, and didn't take up too much space on my desk.
My personal favorite aspect of the printer was its ability to print out photos. Both B&W and color photos were printed on photo paper, and I must say the quality was very good. In fact, I framed a couple of the photos.
Its scanning ability seems above average as well. Scanned both color & B&W documents into the printer, and the output was very good.
One drawback to this printer seems to be the printing speed. It did seem to be a bit slower than the average inkjet printer.
Overall this was a good printer for its price point, and I would recommend this to the average consumer or student.

I like it!!

I received the Cannon product sample in exchange for your honest review so here it is! First, the setup of the printer is very easy, although I consider myself intermediate level technical. After installing the power cord and turning on the device the instruction for installing the ink is demonstrated on the touch screen. The instructions are displayed clearly on the screen, it's not so tiny where you will struggle to see the word which is great. It then gave instructions for placing the paper in and getting it adjusted to print properly, that takes a few minutes. Then comes the connection, I like have the option of printing wireless but had the hardest time connecting to my Wifi, that was the frustrating part. After several times trying to connect to my computer to the WiFi and printer I gave up. I was able to navigate through the setting on the printer get connected which I did and it still didn't work so I chose to just buy a cable to hardwire it. I went to the Cannon website but that wasn't very helpful to me. I do wish the print came with a connection to hardwire to a device but you will have to buy your own, and more detailed installation instructions . I love the look of the printer and the sleekness of it, I have it on my desk and it doesn't take up too much space. And it's fast, with a high quality printed image. Overall I would recommend purchasing the printer.

Easy to use from laptop.

I received a free sample of this printer to review.
My first thoughts when I had received the printer and unboxed it and set it up is that it looked flimsy and cheap. The scanner lid was weird as it flopped around and seemed loose. Also, there were too many ink cartridges to deal with. I initially installed the app on my tablet, which took about 10 minutes, and used it to print some mailing lables for some packages to be mailed out. I liked how the catch tray popped out automatically and the front face lifted up for printing. However, the tray did not go back in by itself and the front face did not go back down when I was finished printing. I had to press the off button to make the tray go in, but not the front plate that popped up when it was printing. I had to press the plate back into place and could feel the gears grinding when I did. I would have liked everything to go back to the way it was when I was done printing. Scanning from the app worked well, but when I pressed scan from the printer window, I don't know where it went.
I then downloaded the app to my MacBook Air and connected the printer to my laptop. Printing through the app is easy and fast. I think printing was easier from my laptop than from my tablet.
Lastly, I downloaded the app to my Android Galaxy A32 5G phone. This is where I had the most difficult time connecting to the printer. For some reason it wouldn't find the printer right away. It took multiple times to get it connected. I printed a photo and found that photo paper could be loaded from a special tray in the back of the paper. That was a nice feature. Printing from the phone was not easy. I had to save documents as PDF, then open up the app, find the PDF and print from there. All in all, the printer works well. Scanning and printing are quick. The app is easy to install on all platforms. Printing from the laptop is the easiest and most user-friendly.
