Sorry no. The one I have only print B&W and only A4, but the HP printer would do both.
It's a minefield selecting the right printer so you will have to do some research before selecting one.

Thanks, Heather. You're right about the minefield bit. I was sinking in HP until I found the little Canon ones!

Yes. Good luck.

I did purchase a replacement set shortly after purchasing the printer and had no problem getting it. I make it a practice of buying OEM ink, so I won’t trash the print head with cheap ink. I suppose in these Covid days anything can and probably will become hard to get at some point. That’s why I always try to have a pack in reserve and will buy directly from Canon, if I can’t find ink at a mail order store. When you find something suitable in stock, purchase it and a 1-2 replacement sets of ink and you lessen your chance of getting caught without. Good luck!

Thanks, Mario. I looked at that printer, and thought perhaps it would do. But the sales clerk told me that the ink is REALLY hard to get. You probably haven't had to purchase new ink yet. But I'd appreciate hearing more from you when you have to replenish.
I have a Ts8220 and a Ts8320. They both use the same cartridge and precision color has refill kits for them. That is the readon I purchased the 8320. It is for my weekend hidaway and was trying to save. They both print very nice 8x10 and 5x7. Also pdf files for my journal. Best buy was where I got mine. Curbside pickup.

Thanks, Dr. Bob. I'm still looking. At least that printer is occasionally available! I'm also looking at the mega tank models.

You can buy extra large cartridges for it. There are 6 cartridges. A set from Precision Color is 57.00. Then the refill kit with 4 oz. Of ink is 69.00 if memory serves me. It includes everything needed to fill the cartridges. Best of luck.

Good information to have. Thanks!
