G oing literally one up on the PIXMA TS6350a, a five-ink printer also on test, this up-market model features an additional dye-based photo blue ink. The idea is to extend the colour space as well as enabling smoother graduations in the likes of blue skies within photo prints.
Again, the more recent TS8350a is based on the original TS8350 but is compatible with Canon Europe’s optional Auto-Ink Delivery service, which is free to sign up to and you can leave at any time.
Other enhancements over its lower-budget sibling include a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen instead of a small OLED screen, a higherresolution 2400x4800dpi scanner, an SD/HC/XC memory card slot for standalone photo printing, and a tray for printing directly on to white-faced CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs.
