Our Verdict

Canon MegaTank MAXIFY GX2020

Epson EcoTank ET-4950

The Epson EcoTank ET-4950 edges out the Canon MegaTank MAXIFY GX2020 overall. Their document printing is similarly great, but the Epson pulls ahead in photos with a wider color gamut and much better fine detail. Its scanner also supports duplex scanning, which the Canon printer's doesn't.
