The Canon MAXIFY GX6020 is an excellent all-in-one color inkjet printer that uses a supertank ink system for exceptionally high page yields and an incredible low cost-per-print. Its body and components feel excellently well-built, paper jams are easy to access, and the display screen is great. It also has a flatbed scanner and automatic document feeder. Unfortunately, the ADF can't duplex scan, and it doesn't have faxing capabilities. However, the higher-end model, the Canon MAXIFY GX7020, supports duplex scanning and faxing.
