Canon Pixma TS9120 Обзор

Трудно было найти дефект в отпечатке, произведенном Pixma TS9210. Мы напечатали сотни страниц черно-белых текстовых документов. Буквы были четко очерчены, сильно заштрихованы и никогда не смазывались. Форматирование соответствовало исходному файлу и соответствовало странице-странице.

Цветная печать документов была также превосходна. Мы тестируем несколько цветных документов, в том числе школьную рассылку, счета-фактуры, таблицы с цветовой кодировкой, финансовые отчеты и многое другое. Когда мы проверяли результаты, мы не могли найти ни одного несовершенства в тексте или графике. Цвета были яркими, глубокими и насыщенными, а черные — сплошными и темными. Сплошные цвета были плавными, но мы заметили некоторые чернильные линии, когда картриджи начали разряжаться. 

We used this AirPrint printer to print dozens of 4×6 and three 8×10 photos. We printed a mixture of portraits, landscapes, skylines, shots of buildings, mountains, beaches, and people and found the color quality to be quite good. The prints were sharp and true to the original photos, and the colors were full, bright and rich without visible ink lines or smudges.

During our testing phase, we used this program to digitize various documents from old tax returns and vehicle registrations to hand-written journals and letters. Everything we scanned, so long as we positioned it correctly, came through quite well. All typed letters were defined and legible, and the handwriting was as sharp as on the original documents. 

We tested the machine by copying a printed version of one of our reviews, and then made copies of the copies for ten cycles. The first three copies were identical to each other, but the fourth and fifth generations got a little warped and by the time we got to the tenth generation, the document wouldn’t be readable to anyone who hadn’t seen the original.

One annoying thing about the scanner is that it lacks a document feeder. This is fine so long as you don’t have more than a few pages of documents to copy, but for longer docs, manually scanning and copying individual sheets is very time consuming.

The Pixma TS9120 is a snappy printer, considering its size and price. We timed how long it took it to print a 100-page screenplay. The single-sided copy took about nine and a half minutes to complete, ten and a half pages per minute for a text-only, single-sided, black and white print job. That was the fastest print time we recorded amongst all the printers we tested.

Color documents are also printed relatively quickly. We printed 10-page color document a few times with this machine and in each instance it took precisely one minute. When we printed our test photos, it generally took between 25 to 45 seconds for any particular photo. This also represented the fastest times we recorded during our testing.

This AirPrint Printer also offers auto-duplexing (printing on both sides of the paper). We printed the same screenplay with this option turned on and it ballooned the print time to 33 minutes.

This wireless printer is compatible with Apple’s AirPrint, meaning you can print from any device that runs iOS or macOS and is on the same Wi-Fi network as your printer. We printed documents and photos directly several Apple devices. There was no setting up a connection or downloading drivers—the devices simply detected the printer on the network and were able to print directly to it.

The two main software programs bundled with this printer are IJ Scan Utility Lite and Canon’s My Image Garden. IJ Scan has everything you need to digitize photos and documents easily, while My Image Garden lets you design photo collages, calendars, and more. It also offers organizational tools and many of the same scanning features found in IJ Scan Utility Lite. These programs work as intended, and they’re a great companion to other Canon branded programs such as the EOS Utility for their DSLR cameras.

The MSRP for the Canon Pixma TS9120 is $199; a fair price, considering what you get, but it’s also frequently available for less. At the time of this writing sites like Amazon and Walmart have the TS9120 available for around $100, at which price this printer is a steal.

We tested this Pixma mode alongside one of its sister products, the Pixma iX6820. The two are similarly priced, but much different in form and function. The iX6820 is a larger, heftier workhorse. It’s not an all-in-one model—it’s designed to print and nothing else. That focus pays off, however, as the iX6820 it yields consistently excellent, high quality results, though not as quickly as the TS9120. If you don’t mind sacrificing scanning, faxing, and copying in favor of that, the Pixma iX6820 is the way to go.
