Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TR8620

Liene Amber M100

The Canon PIXMA TR8620 is an all-in-one inkjet printer, while the Liene Amber M100 is a thermal printer that uses dye-sublimation to print photos. The Canon is a better choice if you need a traditional printer to print and scan documents but also want something that prints nice-looking photos. On the other hand, the Liene is better if you just want a compact printer to print photos. Both print detailed and clear images, but the Canon's colors look more accurate.
