Canon Pixma MG6320 Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n

by Dan Havlik
Review Date: June 2013<\/em><\/p>\n

With the Canon MG6320, Canon has created a Pixma all-in-one inkjet printer
\ndesigned to be sleeker and more versatile than previous models, while adding a
\nrobust set of tools for connecting wirelessly to computers and mobile devices.
\nIf you’re familiar with Canon’s previous all-in-ones, you actually might do a
\ndouble take when you see the MG6320, which comes in either glossy black or white, and
\nboasts a streamlined profile with beveled edges and rounded corners. Don’t be
\nfooled by the MG6320’s slimmed down style. Though it looks more
\nlike a dedicated, flatbed scanner from yesteryear than a multitasking
\nall-in-one printer, this device is designed to do much of the work of a small
\noffice while printing lab-quality photos, thanks to its six-ink print
\nsystem.<\/p>\n

Along with printing photos, the Pixma MG6320 can output documents with text
\nor graphics (or both), make copies, and scan documents and photos — either in
\ncolor or black-and-white. Sound multi-talented? It is, and thanks to the
\nMG6320’s wireless capabilities, many of this inkjet all-in-one’s skills can be
\naccessed on your computer or mobile device without having to attach a clumsy
\ncord. And best of all, for the budget conscious, the Canon Pixma MG6320 retails
\nfor a reasonable $199.<\/p>\n

Printing.<\/strong> For printing, the Canon Pixma MG6320 uses a
\n6-color, individual ink tank system, which includes Canon’s standard-capacity
\n251 BK (Black), 251 GY (Gray), 251 Y (Yellow), 251C (Cyan) and 251 M (Magenta)
\ndye inks along with a 251 PGBK (Pigment Black) ink for printing text. The
\nMG6320’s dedicated gray ink is for both black-and-white and color photo
\nprinting. Since the MG6320 uses an individual ink system, you only need to
\nreplace the specific ink tank that runs out rather than the whole set.<\/p>\n

The Canon Pixma MG6320 offers 9600 x 2400 color dpi resolution with one
\npicoliter drops, designed to produce finer gradations and
\nphoto prints with less visible grain. You can print borderless or bordered images. Canon’s
\nChromaLife100+ ink system, which combines the MG6320 printer’s Fine print head
\ntechnology with the Canon inks and Canon’s photo papers, has a claimed
\narchivability of over 300 years, when the prints are stored in an archival
\nphoto album.<\/p>\n

For printing documents and web pages, Canon says the MG6320 can print 15.0
\nimages per minute (IPM) for black and 10.0 images per minute (IPM) for color.
\nIPM speeds are a relatively new standard for printers created by the
\nInternational Organization for Standardization to measure print speeds for
\ndocuments. To measure IPM, the ISO provides three sets of standardized test
\ndocuments in Microsoft Word, Excel and PDF formats. The standardized test
\ndocuments contain a single photograph and corporate logos but are primarily
\ntext-based rather than graphical. The IPM standard is designed to be more
\naccurate than the pages per minute (PPM) measure for printing documents.<\/p>\n

A borderless, 4-x-6-inch photo takes about 20 seconds with the MG6320, according to Canon specs (read our hands-on test results below), and you can print photos up to 8.5 x 11 inches. To save on
\npaper costs (and time), the Pixma MG6320 has built-in auto duplex printing, which allows you to automatically print on both sides of the sheet of
\npaper.<\/span><\/span> You can also print labels onto printable
\nCDs, DVDs or Blu-ray discs with the MG6320.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Scanning. <\/strong>The Canon MG632 has a built-in flatbed scanner
\nusing a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) scanning element. The scanner has a maximum
\noptical scanning resolution of 2400 x 4800 dpi and an maximum interpolated
\nresolution of 19,200 x 19,200 dpi. Scanning features include Auto Scan Mode,
\nAttach to E-mail Scan, Network Scan, Push Scan, Scan to Memory Card and
\nWireless Scanning.<\/p>\n

The MG6320’s scanner has 48-bit input color depth and 24-bit output. The
\nmaximum document size you can scan with the MG6320 is 8.5 x 11.7 inches. <\/p>\n

Copying. <\/strong>As a copier, Canon claims an FCOT (First Copy
\nOutput Time) of approximately 14 seconds from the MG6320 for color copies. You
\ncan copy at a reduced size of down to 25% of the original document or photo
\nwith the MG6320, or enlarged to up to 400%. Other copying features include
\n4-on-1 \/ 2-on-1 Copy, Auto Exposure Copy, Auto Photo Fix II, Borderless Copy,
\nDisc Label Copy, Fade Restoration, Fit-to-Page, Frame Erase Copy, Multiple
\nCopy: 1-99 Pages, Photo Reprint, Preset Copy Ratios, Two-sided Copy and
\nZoom.<\/p>\n

Build.<\/strong> The Canon Pixma MG6320 has dimensions of 18.4 (W) by
\n14.6 (D) by 5.9 (H) inches and weighs in at 18.4 pounds with the six individual ink
\ntanks loaded. It comes in a glossy black or white finish and boasts a 3.5-inch
\nLCD touchscreen on the all-in-one’s top front section. Unlike some other Pixma
\nall-in-one printers, the MG6320’s LCD screen does not flip up — but it is
\nslanted, making it viewable from an angle.<\/p>\n

Software.<\/strong> The Canon MG6320 comes with a suite of software
\ndesigned to make printing, scanning and copying easier. Canon’s My Image
\nGarden software, which is included on the setup CD-ROM, helps organize and
\nprint photos while offering several editing and organizing tools including
\nfacial recognition, calendar organization, and automatic layout suggestions.
\nThere’s also a bevy of “fun filter effects,” similar to what you’d find offered
\nfrom most of Canon’s digital cameras. These include Fish Eye, Miniature, Toy
\nCamera, Soft Focus and Blur Background, all of which you can add to your images
\nbefore you print.<\/p>\n

Also offered with the Canon MG6320 is Full HD Movie Print, which lets you
\nturn footage from HD movie clips shot with compatible Canon EOS DSLRs or
\nPowerShot compacts into still photo prints. Other built-in software includes
\nEasy-WebPrint EX, which lets you gather and combine several web pages to create
\nand print in your own layout, and Auto Photo Fix II, which will automatically
\ncategorize your images into five types: Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery,
\nSnapshot with Scenery, and Snapshot with Night scenery. The software will then
\napply the best image and multiple-zone exposure correction for the type of
\nscene that was captured, with underexposed areas automatically brightened, as
\nwell as faces that are backlit or underexposed.<\/p>\n

Connectivity.<\/strong> There are multiple ways to connect the Canon
\nPixma MG6320 to computers and mobile devices, either with cords or wirelessly.
\nFor a traditional, wired connection, the MG6320 has a Hi-Speed USB, letting you
\nplug a USB cord into the all-in-one device and connect it with a computer for
\nhigh-speed transfers. The MG6320 also has built-in ethernet, letting you
\nconnect the device to a home or office network via a wired LAN interface so
\nseveral workstations can use and monitor the printer at once.<\/p>\n

The Canon Pixma MG6320 has a built-in card reader, letting you insert
\ncompatible memory cards, including popular SD, Compact Flash and Memory Stick
\nformats, and see the images on the LCD screen before printing them directly
\nfrom the card.<\/p>\n

While all that’s well and good, it’s the wireless features in the MG6320
\nthat will likely get the most use. For starters, this Canon
\nPixma’s built-in wireless capability lets you print and scan wirelessly
\nfrom any Wi-Fi enabled computer in a home or office. Mobile printing features,
\nmeanwhile, let you print wirelessly from compatible Apple iOS
\nand Android-based devices. For Apple users, the MG6320 has AirPrint built-in,
\nletting you seamlessly print photos, emails, web pages, and documents from your
\niOS-based device without having to install extra drivers. <\/p>\n

Google Cloud Print, meanwhile, lets you print wirelessly to the Canon MG6320
\nfrom Gmail and Google Docs on a mobile device, or from a Google Chrome browser
\non Mac, Windows, Linux and Chrome devices. Google Cloud Print also lets you
\nwirelessly share the MG6320 with anyone you choose. With the Pixma Cloud
\nLink, you can print photos from photo albums you create in Canon Image Gateway
\nand Picasa. You can also create templates including seasonal stationary and
\ncalendars from wherever you are to a compatible Canon Pixma wireless
\nall-in-one, such as the MG6320, without a computer.<\/p>\n

Printing Photos and Working with the Canon Pixma MG6320<\/strong><\/h2>\n

by Dan Havlik<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve used Canon’s all-in-one Pixma printers in my home office for a number
\nof years now and they’ve been very handy for helping me complete a number of
\ntasks in my daily workflow. Along with adding wireless capabilities, which has
\nvastly decreased the number of cords I have cluttering up my office, Canon’s been able
\nto streamline the design of these multitasking devices with recent models. One
\nof the most streamlined models yet is the Canon Pixma MG6320, which — when
\nplaced side-by-side with its predecessor, the Pixma MG6220 — looks almost like a
\ndifferent product all together.<\/p>\n

I know this because the MG6220 has been a staple in my office for the last
\nyear, and while I never found it to be bulky, per se, the new MG6320 that I’ve
\nbeen testing has a thinner profile overall, while adding a few new
\nfeatures. <\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at this wireless inkjet photo all-in-one from
\n Canon, which is designed not only to help you take care of mundane office
\n duties such as copying and scanning, but also to produce good quality photo
\n prints thanks to the MG6320’s six-color ink tank system. <\/p>\n

Set up.<\/strong> Weighing in at just 18 pounds and with relatively compact dimensions, the Canon Pixma 6320 is not the type of
\nall-in-one printer that requires two people to set up. As is the case with most
\nphoto printers, however, getting it out of the box, fully unwrapped, and
\noperational does take a bit of time — but that’s mostly because of the careful
\npackaging involved.<\/p>\n

The first thing I noticed about the Canon Pixma MG320 as I tugged it out of
\nthe fitted, Styrofoam encasements that swaddle the printer in the box, is that
\nit felt relatively light but not chintzy. It weighs about two pounds lighter
\nthan the previous model and is much more angled and contoured overall. (More
\nabout the design later.)<\/p>\n

Canon’s done a fairly decent job over the years of presenting clear,
\nillustrated directions for setting up its printers via the “Getting Started”
\nguides that come in the Pixma box. These red-and-white, fold-out pamphlets are
\nusually the first thing I look for when unboxing a Canon printer. Make sure you
\nhave enough room for the set-up; the Getting Started guide folds out to a 20 x
\n30 rectangle itself and the printer and all its attachable parts can fill a
\nlarge carpet.<\/p>\n

After removing the various clear protective sheets and orange tapes that
\nseem to fill every nook and cranny of the MG6320 — make sure you get them all,
\nthere are a lot! — you’re ready to attach the power cord to the rear of the
\nprinter and fire it up. The next step is to select a language for the printer,
\nand while that might not seem worth mentioning (English, for me, duh!), it’s
\nthe first time you get to utilize the MG6320’s 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen and
\nyou’ll discover it’s a good one. While touchscreens on printers and cameras haven’t
\nreached the responsiveness of a iPhone yet — which, for me, is still the
\npinnacle — they’ve improved quite a bit and the MG6320’s screen is a good case
\nin point. I was able to easily scroll through the language options on the
\nscreen, select English, and move on.<\/p>\n

Six inks<\/strong>. Next up is installing the ink tanks. The first
\nthing that might strike you, if you’re moving up in class in all-in-ones to the
\nMG6320, is that it uses individual ink tanks for six different colors including five
\ndye-based inks for photos and a black pigment ink for text. The reason that’s
\nimportant is two-fold: 1) All those inks give you richer color; and 2) If one color runs out you don’t need to replace the whole
\nset.<\/p>\n

The MG6320 ships with Canon’s standard-capacity (9 mL) 251 BK (Black), 251
\nGY (Gray), 251 Y (Yellow), 251C (Cyan) and 251 M (Magenta) dye inks and the 251
\nPGBK (Pigment Black) ink, but I’d recommend getting the larger capacity (13 mL)
\nXL versions of those inks when they run out. The XL inks, which are available
\nin all colors, cost a hefty $16 to $18 per tank, but it’s worth it if you print a
\nlot. In comparison, the regular inks sell for about $12 a piece.<\/p>\n

There’s more protective wrapping and plastic protectors around the ink tanks
\nthat need to be removed before installing — again, make sure you get rid of
\nall of this junk before using the printer or it could potentially damage it —
\nbut once you’re done with that, you can start installing the inks. Fitting the
\nindividual inks into the correct slots in the print head is relatively easy
\nthanks to Canon’s well marked, color-coded system. Small orange lights on the
\nink tanks also light up when they’re correctly seated in the print head. (These
\nilluminated ink tanks have become something of a Canon Pixma trademark.)<\/p>\n

Once all the lights come on and the inks are properly installed, close the Pixma MG6320’s inner cover and
\noperation panel, and the printer will whir and churn for up to four minutes as
\nit charges the inks. After that’s completed, the all-in-one will walk you
\nthrough an automated print head alignment, in which a blue-black pattern is
\nprinted out to make sure the head wasn’t damaged during shipping. There are a
\nfew more minor steps before the printer asks you if you want to connect to
\na wireless LAN. I held off on that initially because I wanted to find out how the
\nPixma MG6320 functioned with a traditional, wired USB connection to my iMac.
\nThe final step is to load the included CD-ROM in your computer to install the Mac
\nor Windows version of the software. As mentioned in an earlier section, there’s
\na lot of software to install — not all of which you’re going to use — but I went ahead and
\ninstalled the whole package for testing purposes.<\/p>\n

In use.<\/strong> The Canon Pixma MG6320 was one of the easiest to
\nuse all-in-ones I’ve tried. That’s important to note because some
\nmulti-function printers can be frustratingly (and seemingly unnecessarily)
\ncomplicated to operate. Considering that many of these all-in-ones are aimed at
\nnovices and consumers, that’s troubling for users and the printer
\nindustry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MG6320’s slenderized design is not just aesthetically pleasing, it’s
\nconvenient. I use a number of printers in my office, including a large Epson
\nStylus Pro 3880 for making 17-inch prints, and a Lexmark black-and-white laser
\nprinter for large volume text jobs. Consequently, room for extra printers is
\nscarce. But with a height of just under 6 inches, the Pixma NG6320 slid into
\na shelf just below my Canon Pro-1 13-inch professional printer with room to
\nspare.<\/p>\n

My test unit was the glossy black model, but I must point out that this version of the Canon MG6320 isn’t entirely
\nblack. The top panel that covers the flatbed scanner has a partial bronze,
\nreflective tone to it, giving this all-in-one a classy look. While it’s well
\ndesigned and feels well built, there’s no getting around the fact that the
\nMG6320 is lightweight because it’s made primarily of plastic. The MG6320
\ncertainly doesn’t feel cheap, but some of its trays, covers and attachments
\nseem a little on the flimsy side.<\/p>\n

Another keen space-saving move with the Canon MG6320 is to use two front
\npaper cassettes rather than using an often hard-to-reach rear loading paper
\npath. With the MG6320, the bottom tray can be used for 8.5 x 11 paper for text
\nor photo printing, while the top can be dedicated for photo printing with photo
\npaper measuring up to 5 x 7 inches. (It wasn’t clear to me why the MG6320 doesn’t allow you to
\nprint photos at up to 8.5 x 11 inches on top, as well.) There’s also a slot in the top
\ncassette to feed printable DVDs or CDs. <\/p>\n

Below the two front paper cassettes is the output tray, which like the other
\ntrays on the MG6320, folds away discretely when not in use. When you are
\nprinting something out, you can quickly open the output tray by pressing in a
\nplastic button on the side of the printer. Perhaps because I’m lazy, I like
\nthat the output tray self-opens with the plastic paper catch flipping out
\nautomatically when the MG6320 starts to print out a document or photo. <\/p>\n

If you have huge text or photo jobs to print, the Pixma MG6320 is probably not for
\nyou. The main paper cassette — the lower of the two trays — can fit a maximum
\nof 125 sheets while the upper, photo cassette (for 4 x 6s and 5 x 7s) fits just 25
\nsheets. The MG6320’s built-in auto duplexer will help somewhat with your
\nprint volume needs, but not everyone likes documents printed on both sides.
\n(Plus it takes extra time.)<\/p>\n

When you do need to replace one of the inks — after just one day of making test prints the standard-sized ink tanks were half
\nfull — the MG6320’s “snap edge” design lets you easily open the print head
\nsection of the printer to swap tanks. Again, I was able to perform this task in
\na limited amount of space with no problem. The only issue I encountered was
\nthat it’s easy to accidently open the ink tank section of the printer when
\nyou’re trying to lift the cover to the flatbed scanner. This will cause the
\nprinter to whir and churn as it performs an ink cycle charge, which drove my cats
\ncrazy.<\/p>\n

Touch control.<\/strong> You access most of the Canon MG6320’s
\nfeatures via the 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen panel — which has swipe control —
\non the front of the device, and I really liked how easy and responsive the
\ndisplay was. While this LCD doesn’t flip up as with some previous Canon
\nall-in-ones, it’s placed front and center at a slight angle on the MG6320, so I
\nwas able to easily see and use it, even when the all-in-one was tucked into its
\nshelf.<\/p>\n

Canon tries not to complicate things too much with the icons and choices in
\nthe MG6320’s touch-based menu system. The opening screen shows three options:
\nCopy, Photo, Scan. Touch one and you’re off and running in that particular
\nmode. Functions and settings in the various modes are crisp, easy to read and
\nintuitive, and I never found myself getting too lost in unnecessary detail. If
\nyou find yourself headed down the wrong navigation path, an illuminated panel of touch
\noptions surrounds the LCD screen, including a “go back” arrow and a home
\nbutton, which will bring you back to the main menu.<\/p>\n

Canon calls this set-up its “Intelligent Touch System,” and while that’s
\nmarketing speak, it is very well thought out, indeed. I liked that buttons and
\nmodes would fade out in the background when not needed, so you aren’t overwhelmed with a set of unnecessary choices. Both touch and swipe control
\non the LCD were responsive, and there was little noticeable lag as I moved from
\nscreen-to-screen and function-to-function in the menus.<\/p>\n

Print and copy speeds.<\/strong> Because of its easy-to-set-up, snazzy
\nspace-saving design and its intuitive menu system with touch and swipe control on
\nthe 3.5-inch LCD screen, the Canon Pixma MG6320 is a fast all-in-one to figure out and
\noperate. However, it’s not the fastest all-in-one I’ve tried for printing out
\ntext or photos. I averaged about 2.5 to 3 pages per minute when printing color
\ndocuments with graphics and 10 to 12 pages per minute when printing
\nblack-and-white text. That isn’t terribly slow, but if you have a major print
\njob to do, you’re going to want to get yourself a cup of coffee while it
\nprocesses. The MG6320 can also spend considerable time at the start of a print
\njob and between print jobs as it cycles the inks. I timed this “warm-up” period
\nto anywhere between 1 and 5 minutes, which can be aggravating if you’re in
\na hurry.<\/p>\n

Print speeds for color photos were actually pretty decent,
\nrelatively speaking, when compared to other all-in-one photo printers. My
\ncolor, 4 x 6-inch prints at the MG6320’s highest quality setting came out in
\nless than a minute, while color 8.5 x 11-inch photos at highest quality averaged
\n1.5 to 2 minutes. Black-and-white photos, however, took significantly longer,
\naveraging 2 minutes per print for 4 x 6s and more than 5 minutes per print for
\n8.5 x 11s.<\/p>\n

As a copier, the Canon MG6320 isn’t going to break any records either, but it gets
\nthe job done. I averaged about 10 seconds for 1 letter-sized, black-and-white
\ncopy and 25 seconds for 1 letter-sized, color copy. So, overall, the MG6320
\nis certainly not fast or efficient enough to help you run a large office or
\nphoto studio, but it definitely helps out in a pinch for small office\/home
\noffice usage if you’re not in a huge hurry.<\/p>\n

Print quality.<\/strong> I was pleasantly surprised with the quality
\nof the photo prints I produced with the Canon Pixma MG6320. Not that long ago,
\nhigh-quality professional photo printers were using six inks with 1-picoliter
\ndroplets, and it’s nice to see this level of print quality drift down to
\nconsumer-targeted all-in-one devices. My color photos from the MG6320 looked
\nparticularly rich, with strong but not oversaturated reds (a typical Canon
\nstrong suit) that really made my images pop. The 1pL droplets the MG6320 was
\nable to produce created the desired finer gradations in the ink in my photos,
\nmaking them look more like smooth, traditional silver halide prints then the
\ngrainy, splotchy photos you get from lower quality inkjets.<\/p>\n

Light, Caucasian skin tones look a bit on the pink side, but nothing compared
\n to the atrocities that some lower end printers and all-in-one devices with fewer inks can commit.
\n Skin tones produced by those machines can look plasticky and almost doll-like.
\n Darker skin tones printed with a dusky, slightly yellow cast to them which, while it
\ndidn’t look bad, did not accurately reproduce how they appeared on my computer screen.<\/p>\n

Image sharpness in my prints was also surprisingly good. A photo I shot of a
\nbasketball player making a jump shot was tack sharp in all the right areas —
\nthe ball and the player’s eyes and face — just as it had looked on the
\ncomputer screen. The MG6320 also did a very good job with my black-and-white
\nphotos, although as noted earlier, it took a long time to print them out. My
\nblack-and-white prints showed very good contrast, with plenty of detail in dark
\nareas, nice neutral grays, and white areas that didn’t look blown out. If I had
\none criticism it would be the slightly blue cast in some of the gray areas. For
\nan all-in-one, though, the MG6320 produced some of the best monochrome prints
\nI’ve seen.<\/p>\n

The Canon MG6320 also produced decent quality black-and-white and color
\ndocuments. Even under a magnifying loop, the individual letters in
\nblack-and-white text showed good edge sharpness and no sign of smudging, which
\ncan be evident in lower-quality inkjet printers. That edge sharpness wasn’t
\nquite as crisp in the color documents I printed. I saw some bleeding of color
\nalong the edge when I looked at the print under a loupe. For an in-house printed
\nreport or studio project, however, it should be perfectly adequate.<\/p>\n

Wireless features.<\/strong> Anything that can reduce the tangle of
\nwires I have in my home office is appreciated, and getting the Canon MG63220
\nconnected to my computer via its built-in wireless connectivity was one of the
\nfirst things I did when I set up the all-in-one printer. Finding my WiFi router via the
\nMG6320’s easy-to-use touchscreen interface and linking it wirelessly to my iMac
\ncomputer took all of five minutes, and I was impressed with how much Canon has
\nstreamlined this process. (Older wireless printer models, as well as many current digital
\ncameras with WiFi capability, are notoriously difficult to set up.)<\/p>\n

While the MG6320’s wireless printing and scanning capabilities were
\neasy-to-use and quite handy, Canon’s done an even better job of wirelessly
\nconnecting to smart phones and tablets thanks to its well-designed Canon
\nEasy-PhotoPrint (Canon iEPP) app. It was great to be able to wirelessly zap
\nInstagram shots — that I’ll admit have been sitting on my iPhone and iPad for quite awhile — to be printed on
\nthe MG6320 without any hassles (or having to install extra drivers.) The same
\nis true for emails, Web pages and documents, which can also be printed to the
\nMG6320 from iOS-based devices, thanks to Apple’s built-in AirPrint tool.<\/p>\n

You
\n can also print wirelessly to the MG6320 from photo albums on Canon’s Pixma
\n Cloud Link. And speaking of cloud-based printing, Google Cloud Print also lets
\n you print wirelessly to the MG6320, rounding out this all-in-one’s diverse set
\n of WiFi tools.<\/p>\n

    \n quickly operational<\/li>\n
  • Excellent 6-ink color system for color or black-and-white
    \n printing<\/li>\n

    \n gradations, making them look like traditional, silver halide
    \n photos<\/li>\n
  • Individual ink tanks let you replace each one when it runs out
    \n rather than the full set, cutting down on ink cost<\/li>\n
  • Built-in duplex printing, which can help you save on paper costs<\/li>\n
  • DVD\/Blu-ray discs printing<\/li>\n
  • Easy to use overall, with clear menu system of choosing
    \n between Copying, Scanning and Printing<\/li>\n
  • Nice, bright 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen with swipe control that’s
    \n responsive to the touch and easy to use<\/li>\n
  • Superior print quality for an all-in-one device, with very good
    \n color and black-and-white photo prints<\/li>\n
  • Color photo prints demonstrate excellent sharpness and great color that was

  • Ethernet connectivity lets you network the printer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Plastic build seems somewhat flimsy<\/li>\n

    \n paper and 25 sheets of 4 x 6-inch or 5 x 7-inch photo paper in two
    \n front cassettes<\/li>\n
  • Spends a lot of time churning and whirring as it cycles inks
    \n before print jobs<\/li>\n
  • Easy to accidentally open print head area when trying to access
    \n flatbed panel, causing device to cycle through warm-up process
    \n again<\/li>\n
  • Relatively slow print speeds overall; very slow for
    \n black-and-white photo prints<\/li>\n
  • Slightly blue cast in the gray areas of our black-and-white photo
    \n prints<\/li>\n
  • No USB port to print off thumb drives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    If you haven’t used an all-in-one, inkjet photo printer lately, you’ll be
    \n pleasantly surprised by the sleek and efficient Canon Pixma MG6320, which
    \n produces superior photo prints for a device in its class. The MG6320’s stylish,
    \n slimmed down design won’t take up much space in your office and studio but, at
    \n the same time, it’s packed with features for handling many
    \nof your basic office and printing needs. <\/p>\n

    Getting the Pixma MG6320 up and running is a snap, thanks to its lightweight build and compact design that makes it easy to move
    \n to the desired spot in your office. Canon’s simple and clear illustrated
    \ndirections all but eliminate the typical installation frustrations. Printing novices will like that the MG6320 is very easy to use
    \n overall, with a straightforward menu system that lets you quickly choose between copying,
    \n scanning and printing. Meanwhile, the Canon MG6320’s 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen with swipe
    \ncontrol was surprisingly responsive to the touch and easy to use. Not only is the built-in
    \nduplexer handy, but also it will help you save on paper costs.<\/p>\n

    The
    \n MG6320’s excellent 6-ink color system employs individual ink tanks, so if one
    \n color runs out you won’t need to replace the whole set. The 6-ink system also drives the quality of the printer’s color and black-and-white
    \n photo prints; our test prints were on par to some older
    \n professional printers we’ve tried and much better than most typical
    \n all-in-ones. We also liked
    \n that the MG6320 offers built-in ethernet if you want to network this all-in-one
    \n in your office and a robust set of wireless features, which will let you do a
    \n number of tasks wirelessly, including printing and scanning, while helping to
    \ncut down on cord clutter.<\/p>\n

    On the downside, the MG6320’s plastic build feels a
    \n bit flimsy and we worried about the durability of some of the accessories,
    \n particularly the paper trays. It’s also not the ideal device for large prints
    \n jobs, fitting only 125 sheets of of paper for documents, and only 25 sheets of
    \n photo paper for 4 x 6 and 5 x 7-inch prints. Prints speeds overall were
    \n slow, and the MG6320 slogged through our letter-sized black-and-white photo
    \nprints, taking more than 5 minutes to produce each one. <\/p>\n

    However, these are relatively minor
    \n quibbles since the Canon MG6320 really isn’t designed for heavy duty office or
    \n photo studio work, but is more of an agile and easy-to-use multitasker for
    \n copying, scanning or printing documents — either while connected by a cord or completely wirelessly. It also just happens to be a very capable photo printer on top of its all-in-one duties. For a variety of small but important business or creative tasks, the Canon Pixma MG6320 is an ideal Dave’s Printer
    \n Pick.<\/p>\n
