Stylish Design and Great Interface: The Canon Pixma TS9160 is a stylish device that comes in two colors – red and gray. It has a large and easy to use touchscreen that doesn’t intimidate even beginners. It includes straightforward choices like ‘Copy’, ‘Print’, and ‘Scan’. It’s as simple as that! The touchscreen is also very responsive, a major advantage over other printer models that offers a less-than-impressive touch response. You can also access internet, cloud options as well as additional settings. Should you have any doubts, you can press the ‘?’ icon for other choices. The SD card slot is located at the bottom left and is useful for printing directly from a memory card, even without a computer.

Revolutionary Ink for Superb Prints: The Canon Pixma TS 9160 uses Canon PGI-680, Canon CLI-681, Canon PGI-680XL, and Canon CLI-681XL cartridges for its printing needs.

High Speed Printing: The printer is capable of printing out high resolution photos quickly and in half the time it takes other equivalent models. It is also quick at copying color documents, considered among the fastest in the Pixma series.
