B uilding on the success of Canon Europe’s TS6350 series printer, the TS6350a is compatible with the company’s Auto-Ink Delivery service. If you sign up, the ink levels in your cartridges are automatically monitored via the internet, and you receive new cartridges via post when needed.
Typical of Canon five-ink printers, it has an oversized pigment-based black cartridge for crisp, rich black text, while photo printing is based on cyan, magenta, yellow and black dye-based inks.
There are some useful features shoehorned into the space-saving design. The built-in scanner enables photocopying, driven by onboard controls that include physical buttons around a small 1.44-inch OLED display. However, there’s no memory card slot, nor a facility to print direct on to whitefaced CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs. Neat touches include an LED status bar, which lights up to show that printing is in progress. It also has a QR code button for hooking into the internet via a smartphone or tablet. Replacement cartridges are available in standard, XL and XXL options, the last of which gives the best economy, although a full set costs around £100/$125.
