The Canon PIXMA TR8620a embodies what many expect from a modern multifunction inkjet: robust print quality, versatile media handling, and plenty of connectivity for mixed-use environments. As an all-in-one solution, it supports print, scan, copy, and fax, with a 20-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) and automatic duplex printing. It includes all features that align with both home office and light business needs. Its 5-ink system (including dual blacks for photo and document fidelity) yields up to 4800 × 1200 dpi resolution and impressively rich color output that excels with photos and graphics alike.
Connectivity is comprehensive: Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz), Ethernet, USB, and support for mobile standards like AirPrint and the Canon PRINT app make it straightforward to print from phones, tablets, and desktops. The inclusion of a small color touchscreen enhances usability for everyday tasks. Build quality and physical footprint place it in the mid-weight category, substantial enough for frequent use without dominating desk space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the PIXMA TR8620a handle heavy printing volumes?
It’s rated for frequent home/office tasks with a monthly duty cycle of around 1,000 pages. But it isn’t designed for high-volume enterprise workloads.
Why is ink consumption high?
Standard cartridges are smaller and primarily geared for average workloads; XL/XXL cartridges have a significantly lower per-page cost.
Will this printer work with macOS 26 Tahoe?
Even if a specific driver isn’t available yet, AirPrint or built-in macOS printer support will allow basic printing without a dedicated driver. Modern macOS versions auto-discover network printers and use AirPrint profiles.
What if the printer runs out of color ink during a print?
All cartridges are individual. The printer typically won’t continue certain print jobs if essential colors are depleted; replacing the specific cartridge resolves this.
Can I use third-party ink cartridges?
Third-party cartridges often work, but results vary; Canon may not guarantee performance, and firmware updates can affect recognition. Some community users report mixed success.
