When it comes to printers, there is one name that will always be on the tip of a person's tongue. That name is Canon. For years now, Canon has been turning out a wonderful selection of printers and all-in-ones that are competitive, if not superior, with everything else on the market. Today is the age of the wireless printer, but we don't want a printer that does just one thing. We are all about minute machines that multi-task and do so without the inconvenience of us having to be tethered to a single location. In answer to the market demands, Canon released the PIXMA MG8120 wireless all-in-one photo printer. It might be a mouth full, but it is likely that you will love saying it once you learn about everything that this piece of technology has to offer.
The petite and sleek frame of this printer is home to a whirlwind of activity. Inside, six Canon PIXMA MG8120 ink cartridges go to work to print out very high quality photos fast. However, the undeniable selling point of the machine is its ability to scan and print directly from 35mm slides or strips of film. What once wasn't digital can be in an instant, and thanks to the cyan, black, magenta, and yellow Canon PIXMA MG8120 ink combination, the prints from film are brilliant, crisp, and clean every time. Aside from this very notable capability, the machine has scored well in print times, wireless distance, and nearly every other test that has been thrown at it.
That being said, there is a downside to the machine that should be noted before a person makes the decision to buy. Though the scanner is very high-end, it is not matched with an auto-feed option. That means that the next time you have to scan several pages in one setting, you will have to load and unload each and every sheet manually. The same is true, of course, of the copying function.
For those who don't have to make frequent scans or don't mind having to manually feed each, this printer has little else to complain about. Canon ink cartridges might not be the least expensive on the market, but a consumer can purchase each Canon PIXMA MG8120 ink cartridge for about fifteen dollars individually, or he can opt for a four-pack for about fifty-two dollars. Comparatively speaking, this isn't a bad price to keep the machine up and running. The Canon PIXMA MG8120 printer certainly has a lot going for it.
