Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA MG3620

Epson Expression Home XP-4200

The Canon PIXMA MG3620 is better than the Epson Expression Home XP-4200 for most uses. The Canon produces better-quality black-and-white documents; photo printing is a bit more of a toss-up, as the Canon doesn't resolve fine details as well as the Epson, but its color accuracy is significantly better. Regarding connectivity, the Canon doesn't support Wi-Fi direct, meaning it can't generate its own Wi-Fi signal, so if this is a feature you need, the Epson would be a better choice.
