Canon Pixma TR8550 review

 

A business-oriented inkjet that also prints fabulous photos

Cleverly compact design ; Helpful 4.3-inch touchscreen ; Vivid five-ink printing ; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity

Slow duplex printing ; Five costly cartridges to replace ; Small main paper tray ; No front USB port

The Canon Pixma TR8550 packs a lot of key features into its neatly folding desktop design, including duplex printing, Bluetooth and a huge touchscreen that makes it especially user friendly.

Canon Pixma TR8550 review

 

A review of the Canon Pixma TR8550, a versatile 4-in-1 printer suitable for your home office.

The relatively high cost of printing simple text documents is disappointing, but if you’re working from home and need to produce a lot of colour documents, such as presentations and brochures, then the Pixma TR8550 does offer genuinely competitive...

Good all rounder but WiFi only

 

Disappointed to find that there is no option to connect by cable to PC. Wireless printing from laptop, tablet and phone is great but would be nice to have cable option for PC.

Good Value

 

Excellent value product. Fairly easy to set up with computer. Only thing I wish it had was a draft print facility. It will print normal or best print but when printing out items in order to check them over, a draft print is all that is needed.

Excellent Printer With Great Funtionality

 

Having had a Canon Pixma MX855 for many years I was really happy with the quality and the functionality of the machine. So you can imagine when it just died on me trying to print my boarding pass I decided to buy the TR8550 as it was cheaper than...

Needs manual intervention to operate

 

Be aware before you buy this that if you want it to operate you need to (a) manually open the control panel; and (b) manually extend the arm that catches the paper after its been printed. This was a surprise for me as I thought I was trading up from a...

Canon PIXMA TR8550 Printer

 

Having had a Canon printer previously which gave very good service without faults for 8 years I selected this model to replace it. It is easy to set up and use and the quality of print is very good. Even copying documents is to a good standard.

Good quality printer

 

It is reasonably quiet and quick. My only negative is the slightly fiddly and small paper out tray. Overall a very neat, good printer. Very pleased with the purchase.
