Canon models tended toward a more natural look, though both the TS6020 and MG3620 produced more saturation in deep red shades than other models. Epson and HP models skewed toward a warmer print, which you may or may not like. But there are subtle differences worth noting. Overall, all of the inkjet all-in-ones we've tested recently make attractive glossy photo prints. Epson vs Canon vs HP: Glossy photo prints Runners-up include the Epson XP-420 model, which did a better job of retaining midtone transitions than the Canon MG3620, which tended to produce overly dark shadows.īest All-In-One for Text Print Quality: The Canon TS6020 delivers high-quality text prints at a rapid 9.8 ppm by contrast, the HP Envy 5540 (which earns an honorable mention for its high-quality text printing) did so at 8.1 ppm. Both the HP Envy 5540 review and HP OfficeJet 4650 review saw very detailed and well-saturated graphics printing, with smooth transitions in photographs. Graphics in PDFs printed on plain paper are the specialty of the HP models. The Epson WF-2760 also printed very attractive text in our PDF, though our Epson Expression XP-640 review noted that text printed with much fuzzier edges, even on presentation matte paper. Although the HP models were consistently good, the Canon TS6020 printed the sleekest, sharpest letter forms.

If you plan to print PDF documents, know that text as well as graphics quality varies. In the Epson WorkForce WF-6590 review the printer made two-sided prints of text documents that were equally sharp as one-sided prints. Canon's TS6020, for example, printed text lighter when using its duplexer.
If you're considering a model with a duplexer for making two-sided prints, make sure that you'll get the same quality as you would with one-sided prints. Less impressive were a couple of Epson models, with one impressive exception: our Epson WF-2760 review noted sharply printed text while also clocking in the fastest text-document print time among inkjets, earning it Editor's Choice honors. HP models also delivered consistently high-quality text prints. In both our Canon Pixma TS6020 review and Canon Pixma MG3620 review, for example, the inkjet printers produced bookworthy text on high-quality paper. For some models, this is particularly true if you are willing to spend the extra money to use high-quality paper. While inkjet printers are not known for printing razor-sharp text on a par with a laser printer, many inkjets these days do a very admirable job that gets close to what a laser printer can produce.

Additionally, the Smart Tank Pro 651 has a tiny 2.2-inch touch screen for controlling printer functions, and the monochrome readout did not impress. Unfortunately, that level of quality wasn't matched with great speeds, and the HP's printing, scanning and copying capabilities were all hobbled by significantly slower-than-average output. Aside from the inexpensive ink, The HP also delivers high quality across the board, with sharp looking prints that have sharp letterforms and well-saturated colors, and natural-looking color when printing glossy photos. With thousands of pages worth of ink included with the printer, the Smart Tank Pro 651 delivers high-quality prints for only a fraction of a cent per page. The HP Smart Tank Plus 651 is HP's answer to the Epson EcoTank and other printers that reduce ink costs by using refillable ink tanks instead of expensive cartridges. Even using high-capacity ink cartridges, the cost of printing was nearly 20 cents per page. Ink costs are above average and the addition of a fifth ink cartridge didn't help it on the operating costs. Though we loved the fast performance and great document print quality, the Canon may not be the best choice for high-volume printing. While the print quality on basic documents and copies look good, the versatile Pixma TR8620 offers excellent glossy photo prints – thanks to a 5-ink cartridge system – making it a smart choice if you include printing snapshots for a scrap book among your printer uses. Our only real complaint is that ink costs are a little high.īut where the Canon really shines is image quality. With both an automatic document feeder and a built-in duplexer, you'll enjoy quick and convenient copying and printing, and even fax capability. The Canon Pixma TR8620 is an office-oriented all-in-one inkjet printer with a healthy mix of great features, good performance and excellent image quality.
