Our Verdict
Canon PIXMA TR8620
Canon PIXMA TR8620a
The Canon PIXMA TR8620a is the newer version of the Canon PIXMA TR8620, and they are nearly identical in performance and appearance; you'll be happy if you buy either one. The only differences are their cost-per-print and print speed. The TR8620a prints black-and-white documents faster, but its running cost is a little higher because the cartridges are more expensive.
