The Canon Pixma TS3320 Wireless All-in-One Printer ($79.99) is an entry-level consumer-grade all-in-one (print, copy, scan) inkjet photo printer designed for family and home office use.
An update to the TS3120 reviewed here back in 2017, the TS3320 is somewhat similar in price and features to HP's DeskJet 3755, another budget-friendly AIO.
Like its predecessor, the TS3320 is a fundamental machine with slow print speeds, high running costs, and the smallest feature set among Canon's TS-series photo-centric Pixmas.
What the TS3320 has going for it is top-quality output, especially photos.
It's a good fit for families who care about printing a few nice snapshots each month, as well as printing or copying the occasional document.
Picking a Pixma
Currently, the Pixma TS series comprises just under 10 models, with the TS3320 as the most basic of the bunch and the wide-format Editors' Choice TS9521c as the feature-rich flagship.
The latter, of course, touts the fastest print speeds, an automatic document feeder (ADF) for sending multipage documents to the scanner, and an ink palette of five colors, rather than the standard primary four process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
Like the TS9521c, the midrange TS6320 and TS9520 add a Photo Black cartridge, for darkening text and enriching black areas in photos, as well as the CMYK quartet.
Two high-end Pixmas, the TS8320 and TS9120, come with a sixth ink—a Photo Blue that extends the printer's color gamut to boost photo areas such as skies and bodies of water.
At the bottom of the ladder, the TS3320 tested here and its TS5320 sibling use only two cartridges, one containing black ink and the other holding cyan, magenta, and yellow.
The primary drawback to this 4-in-2 cartridge system, also seen in several other low-end AIOs from both HP and Canon, is that when any of the three reservoirs empty, you must replace the entire tank, wasting ink and increasing running costs.
As mentioned, features vary widely across this family of printers, with only the wide-format TS9520 and TS9521c offering ADFs.
Only the TS9-series models support Ethernet wired networking, as well as higher paper input capacity, such as two 100-sheet trays versus the TS3320's single 60-sheet tray that pulls out and loads from the rear of the machine.
The TS3320's paper tray can also be configured to hold up to 20 sheets of 4 by 6-inch or 10 sheets of 5 by 7-inch photo paper, which is about the same as some of the other models mentioned here.
However, this Pixma does not support photo paper larger than 5 by 7 inches; you can't print borderless 8 by 10-inch images, much less larger sizes.
Other limitations of the TS3320 are a lack of support for automatic two-sided printing and a limit of just 20 copies per job.
Also, some higher-end Pixma TS models print from various sizes of SD cards, the memory device of choice for most digital cameras, whereas the TS3320 does not.
An advantage of a pared-down feature set like this is that you get a smaller, lighter machine.
At 5.8 by 17.2 by 12.5 inches (HWD) and weighing a slight 8.5 pounds, the TS3320 takes very little space and is easy to move around.
It's the same size as its predecessor and about the same as the heavier step-up (and soon to be reviewed) Pixma TS5320, and more compact than the DeskJet 3755, which comes with a sheet-feed scanner rather than a flatbed.
It's also a bit smaller and lighter than Epson's similarly positioned Expression Premium XP-5100 Small-in-One, though the latter holds about twice as much paper and offers a few other features, such as SD card support and four ink cartridges instead of two.
Unlike most higher-end consumer-grade photo AIOs, one of this Canon's price tradeoffs is that the control panel consists of a 1.5-inch LCD navigated and operated from an array of buttons and function keys instead of a touch screen.
As for monthly print volume ratings, Canon doesn't publish recommended volumes or maximum duty cycles for these lower-end machines.
Suffice it to say that several factors—print speed, paper input volume, ink cartridge page yields, lack of duplex support, and high running costs (more on those in a moment)—relegate the TS3320 to very-modest-volume duty.
If you churn out more than 50 to 100 documents or photos each month, you should look further up the TS product line.
Few Frills
Connectivity consists primarily of options designed to allow you and your family members to connect their PCs and handheld devices quickly and easily.
Standard interfaces consist of USB 2.0, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, or Wireless PictBridge for printing from specific Canon digital and video cameras.
Other mobile access options are Apple AirPrint for iPhones or iPads, Mopria for Android devices, Google Cloud Print, and Canon iPrint App for printing and scanning directly from and to the TS3320 via most apps on most Android and Apple mobile devices, including popular cloud sites, augmented by the company's Pixma Cloud Link service.
Mobile Device Connectivity (mobile.jpg): Between Canon's apps and third-party apps and services, you shouldn't have trouble printing from and scanning to your mobile phone.
Like most Pixmas (and most other consumer printers and AIOs) nowadays, the TS3320 also supports voice-activated printing and scanning through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
You can also use other voice services such as Microsoft's Cortana, Apple's Siri, and Samsung's Bixby with simple IFTTT (if this then that) scripts accessible online at sites such as ifttt.com.
The Canon's software bundle, while sparse, is highly useful, especially for beginners.
In addition to the printer/scanner driver, you get Scan Utility (Windows and Mac), Scan Utility Lite (Mac), and Easy PhotoPrint Editor Software for, well, editing and printing your photos from most common platforms.
A Message in Print utility lets you embed messages, links, videos, and more in your printed photos that your friends and family can scan with their mobile device cameras to reveal or play.
Slow and Methodical
The TS3320 is not the slowest printer available, but it's close.
Canon rates this AIO at 7.7 pages per minute (ppm).
Only the HP 3755, at 5.5ppm, has a slower rating.
When printing our 12-page monochrome lightly formatted Microsoft Word text document, the Pixma managed 6.3ppm, which is 2ppm quicker than the DeskJet and 1.5ppm ahead of the older TS3120.
However, the TS3320 fell behind the Epson XP-5100 by about 7.5ppm.
Canon's own Pixma G6020 MegaTank All-in-One, one of the company's models that gets its ink from economical bottles rather than cartridges, proved 6.4ppm faster than the TS3320.
See How We Test Printers
When I combined the results from the Word file with those from printing our more complex PowerPoint, Excel, and Acrobat documents comprised of color, graphics, and photos, the TS3320's score dropped to 2.2ppm, or about 1 page every 30 seconds.
Here again, it outdid only the HP 3755 (1.4ppm), but no comparable AIO topped 5ppm (Canon's circa-2017 Pixma TS5020 and TS6120 managed about 4.7ppm).
But if they're not cut out for fast document printing, many of these devices excel at printing 4 by 6 (and 5 by 7) snapshots.
Granted, the TS3320's average print time of 1 minute 1 second for our 4 by 6-inch test photos isn't remarkable, but a time of under a minute at the driver's High or Best quality setting is typically pretty good.
Print Quality: Worth the Wait
As I said about the TS3120 two years ago, you can't expect a four-ink consumer printer to produce better-looking content than a six-ink one, especially when printing photos.
Still, the Pixma TS3320's output in our text reproduction tests was well-delineated, well-shaped, and highly legible down to less than what I could see without magnification (under 10 points), making it more than appropriate for most family or student printing and copying tasks.
While the TS3320 is somewhat slow and expensive to use for a business AIO, the sample charts and graphs I printed reproduced well, too—output well-suited to high school and college reports and other homework papers.
Like every other photo-centric Pixma I've seen, the TS3320 churned out good-looking snapshots, too.
My color glossies were vibrantly and accurately colored, with respectable detail.
Granted, when you place the unit's photo output next to the same images printed on one of Canon's five- or six-ink Pixmas or perhaps Epson's six-ink, wide-format Expression Photo HD XP-15000, marked differences in vibrancy and detail are often notable.
Colors reproduce more accurately and are better saturated.
But such machines, of course, cost two or more times as much, and their additional ink cartridges add to overall running costs.
The bottom line is that, while several consumer-grade photo printers churn out your family's keeper images with more panache than the inexpensive TS3320 can muster, this AIO's photographs will do your family's memories justice.
Expensive to Use
Most consumer-grade photo printers are expensive to use—though these days, with some flexibility in your budget, you can find ways to cut the ongoing every day running costs.
That's not, alas, true of the TS3320, which (like its predecessor and most of its siblings) uses relatively low-yield ink cartridges with high per-page costs.
When you buy the highest-yield ink tanks available, monochrome pages will cost you about a dime apiece, and color pages about 18.7 cents per print.
Photos and other color documents with high percentages of ink coverage can cost significantly more, and purchasing the higher-end TS models, such as the TS9120, doesn't provide much if any relief.
Most of the non-Canon machines mentioned here have similar running costs; Epson's XP-5100, for instance, prints black pages for about 6.4 cents each and color pages for 17.5 cents.
If you buy the HP DeskJet 3755's ink tanks outright, without signing up for HP's Instant Ink subscription program, monochrome pages will cost you about 8.7 cents each and color pages about 19 cents.
A $9.99 monthly subscription to Instant Ink, though, will reduce that expense to 3.5 cents per print—any print, from a black double-spaced text page with 5 to 10 percent ink coverage to an 8.5 by 11-inch borderless photo or graphics-intense flyer.
HP's Envy Photo AIOs, including the Envy Photo 6225, also come with Instant Ink offers and deliver sound photo reproduction.
Most Canon MegaTank and Epson EcoTank AIOs print good-looking photos at low per-page costs, too, if you're willing to pay a premium for the printer and a generous allotment of ink up front.
A Beginner's AIO
Families and home offices that need to print or copy the occasional homework assignment, church flyer, or photo are good fits for the bargain-priced Pixma TS3320.
The more you print and copy, the less likely this little AIO is right for you.
If your foreseeable monthly volume runs higher than 50 to 100 photos or document pages, or if you require two-sided printing and/or copying and scanning, you should consider a more robust unit, such as our Editors' Choice Canon Pixma TS9120.
Cons
High cost per page.
No automatic document feeder, SD card or USB thumb drive support, or borderless photo printing larger than 5 by 7 inches.
Slow document printing.
Wasteful four-color/two-cartridge system.
