The Pixma TS8750 sits near the top of the current lineup; a six-ink MFP offering high-qualityphoto printsand detailedscanning.

The TS8750 is a striking MFP, made from a mix of textured, shiny and translucent black plastics.

Squat, smart and very black, the TS8750 doesn’t look like the average MFP

Its squat stance makes it look as much like AV equipment as it does a printer.

The bulk of the MFP is inset slightly from a base that juts out at the front.

Here youll find a 100-sheet paper cassette and the card slot.

The huge 10.8cm touchscreen is a doddle to use

If its not immediately obvious where paper comes out, all becomes clear when you start printing.

The TS8750s motorized paper output tray emerges tilting the front panel upwards shortly followed by your first page.

Insert a loaded card and the initial single-shot preview isnt that helpful.

The TS8750 has two other foibles.

We hit the TS8750 with our usual mix of officedocumentsand photos.

At a detailed 1,200dpi it needed 78 seconds to complete a 10 x 15cm photo scan.

Copy speeds were middling, with a single page taking 17 seconds in black only or 23 in color.

Photocopies were very strong, with both mono and color copies preserving the details of the original.

Without doubt, the best results came on glossy photo paper, and from the TS8750s scanner.

We also ranked the best home security systems.
