Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA MG3620

Canon PIXMA G3260/G3262

The Canon PIXMA MG3620 and the Canon PIXMA G3260/G3262 are all-in-one color inkjet printers, but the G3260 is a better printer overall. The G3260 uses a supertank ink system for far superior page yields and has a much lower cost-per-print. Also, it can print via Wi-Fi Direct, making it easier to connect wirelessly to some devices. On the other hand, the MG3620 prints black text documents and photos faster, and it can automatically print double-sided.
