Like all of Canon's latest inkjet all-in-one printers geared toward home users, the top-of-the-line Canon Pixma TS9020 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One Printer ($199.99) is small enough that you shouldn't have trouble finding room for it on a desk. It conjointly incorporates a tight feature set for its little frame, as well as six ink tanks, and it produces glorious text for an inkjet. Its lack of an automatic document feeder (ADF), however, makes it poorly fitted to office use, and its solely average graphics and picture quality could flip you off if you are looking for a real do-it-all answer.
Design and Features
Our TS9020 check unit is two-tone, red on high and within the back, and black on the front and sides; it conjointly comes in a very white-and-black version. It measures a petite 5.6 by 14.7 by 12.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 14.7 pounds. The front panel, that you'll tilt upward for straight forward access, includes a 5-inch color touch screen that produces it straight forward to navigate the menus.
Paper handling consists of a 100-sheet main receptacle and a 100-sheet rear feeder. There's additionally a receptacle for direct printing onto optical discs Associate in Nursing an auto-duplexer for two-sided printing. For scanning, the TS9020 incorporates a letter-size flatbed on prime, although there is not any ADF. To the left of the output receptacle could be a slot for SD card.
Mobile Printing Features
The TS9020 is AirPrint compatible and Mopria certified for direct printing from iOS and compatible Android devices, and it can print from the Canon Print app as well. It also supports Google Cloud Print, which lets you send documents to your printer from any Web-connected computer, smartphone, or tablet.
It can connect to a network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, or directly to a computer via USB. It also supports near-field communications (NFC) direct printing from a compatible Android device. I tested the TS9020 over an Ethernet connection with drivers installed on a PC running Windows 10.
Print Speed
In printing the text-only (Word) portion of our business applications suite, the TS9020 averaged 10.3 pages per minute (ppm), with a first-page-out time of 11 seconds. In printing our full business suite, which includes PDF, PowerPoint, and Excel files in addition to the aforementioned Word document, the TS9020's speed dropped to 4.1ppm. That's slow, but not out of line with other photo-centric inkjets we've tested. The Epson Expression Premium XP-640 Small-in-One Printer, for instance, tested at just 3.2ppm for the full suite.

One area in which the TS9020 did prove a speedster is photo printing. It averaged just 20 seconds per 4-by-6 print, using photo printing and high quality settings; the Epson XP-640 averaged 25 seconds, and the Canon Pixma MG5720 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One averaged 54 seconds.
Output Quality
The TS9020 uses six ink tanks, which include both dye- and pigment-based black inks (which should help in photo and text printing, respectively) and gray in addition to the usual cyan, magenta, and yellow. Based on our testing, the TS9020's overall output quality was a touch above par for an inkjet, thanks to its high text quality; photo and graphics quality were average. Text should be good enough for any business use, even those requiring small fonts.

With graphics, some backgrounds showed delicate stripe (a regular pattern of faint striations). Though colours were typically well saturated, many backgrounds looked to a small degree light. The TS9020 did well with skinny coloured lines, and in differentiating between similar tones.
Photo quality was fine for snapshots, but not particularly impressive for a photo-centric inkjet. Prints tended to be on the light side, and there was frequently some loss of detail in bright areas. Although colors were acceptable, they lacked some of the vibrancy of those from the Canon MG5720. One print showed mild banding.
A Well-Connected Inkjet
As an all-in-one inkjet printer intended primarily for home use, the Canon Pixma TS9020 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One Printer offers fast photo printing and solid output quality led by excellent text. That said, the Canon MG5720, our Editors' Choice home-focused inkjet all-in-one printer, has better graphics and photo quality and sells for considerably less. The TS9020 does include both Ethernet and NFC, which the MG5720 lacks, so it does score some points for connectivity.
