Filamora Studios › Choosing a printer for printables
Canon PIXMA TS5350i
Cheap to buy for a few pages now and then; the ink costs more per page.
- Type: Cartridge, with scanner
- Biggest paper: A4
- Inks: 2 cartridges (black, colour)
- Ink for a typical printable: about 13p a page
Our take
A small, cheap cartridge printer that prints, scans and copies. Fine for a few printables a month; for more, an ink tank soon pays for itself.
What’s good
- Cheap to buy
- Small, with Wi-Fi and a scanner
- Two-sided printing
Worth knowing
- Cartridge ink costs many times more per page than an ink tank
- Cartridges can dry out if it sits unused
What you can make on it
It prints all 69 of our printables.
