Canon Pixma TS 9150 (TS9120 in USA)
£215/$150 A smart standalone printer
Building on the five-ink line-up of the TS6150, the TS 9150 (or TS9155 in red) takes the total to six, with an additional ‘photo blue’
cartridge. The aim is to reduce the occasionally grainy appearance of bright blue in photo prints.
It leapfrogs the intermediate TS8150 in the new Pixma range (TS8120 in the USA), both of which have the same six-ink line-up, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, memory card slot and facility for printing on white-faced CDs and DVDs. However, while the TS8150 has a 4.25-inch colour touchscreen, this one has a five-inch touchscreen and adds Ethernet.
Performance
Much faster than the Canon TS6150 in standard quality photo mode, the TS9150 is practically as quick as the Epson XP-8500, and faster in best quality mode. Portraits have the same beautiful warm skin tones as the TS6150.
