Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA G7020

Epson EcoTank ET-3950

The Epson EcoTank ET-3950 and the Canon PIXMA G7020 both deliver excellent page yields and strong overall performance. The Epson model stands out for its wider color gamut when printing photos, producing richer tones and better depth. It also offers more detailed black-and-white documents and includes dual-pass duplex scanning for faster, higher-quality scans.
