The Canon PIXMA TS5320 is a decent multi-purpose printer for home use. While it can print great-looking photos full of vibrant colors, its black and color page yields are rather low, which means that you have to replace the ink cartridges often if you print on a regular basis. Its printing speed is slow, even for black-only documents, and scanning long documents can be frustrating, as it lacks an automatic document feeder. On the bright side, it has great connectivity options and Canon's outstanding mobile app lets you perform most tasks using just your smartphone. If you want to add a splash of color to your surroundings, this printer is also available in a nice minty green or pink.
Our Verdict
The Canon PIXMA TS5320 is an okay family printer. Its photo printing quality is great, as they look vibrant and detailed, but it can be quite expensive if you print a lot, since there's only one color cartridge. The scanner's lid can be extended a bit if you need to scan thicker documents; however, there's no automatic document feeder.
- Great photo printing quality.
- Great connectivity options.
- Decent cost-per-print.
- Low black and color page yield.

- Low black and color page yield.
- No sheetfed scanner.

The Canon PIXMA TS5320 is a decent printer for students. Its cost-per-print for black only documents is mediocre due to the cartridge's low yield, so it gets expensive if you have to print a lot.

However, its wide connectivity options let you connect through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and Canon's mobile app lets you print your assignments directly from your smartphone.
