Equipped with a six-colour hybrid ink system, the PIXMA TS8070 comes with a new 4.3-inch colour touchscreen LCD panel combined with a fully touch-sensitive operation panel (Intelligent Touch System) and supports automatic two-sided printing, printing from memory cards and can also print directly on printable CD and DVD surfaces.
