Canon iP6320D Printer Review

The Canon PIXMA iP6320D is a photo-centric inkjet printer that can produce lab-quality prints at a fairly quick speed of around 60 seconds for a 4x6 photo. It has a number of options for PC-free printing, including a bright preview screen on the control panel, and it uses inexpensive Canon iP6320D printer ink supplies that can make it much more cost-effective than running to the photo lab.

As part of the iP6320 series, the iP6320D has the added feature of automatic duplexing, or two-sided printing. This is mostly useful for printing documents, but it allows users to save paper and have a bit more flexibility as well. The unit itself measures 10.3x17.3x6.8 inches, and it weighs only 7.5 pounds, even with the PIXMA iP6320D printer ink supplies installed, so it is practically portable.

The iP6320D may appeal most to those users who want to print photos without the hassle of using a computer to do it. It offers several options for getting photos into the machine, including a front-mounted USB port that also supports PictBridge cameras. It is also Bluetooth-compatible for supported devices, and memory card slots are included on the front of the machine as well. The flip-up display can help users find the photos they want to print, and they can even make a few simple edits.

The inkjet system uses two Canon iP6320D ink cartridges to create a resolution of up to 4800x1200 dpi for very sharp output. The black PIXMA iP6320D ink cartridge can be replaced with a "photo color" supply for wider color gamut. High-capacity Canon iP6320D ink supplies are available with more than twice the page yield as well.

The iP6320D certainly isn't a good fit for users who want to print mainly documents, but its photo capabilities are very impressive. It creates sharp images and does so at solid speeds, and its low price makes it an excellent value.
