Our Verdict

Epson EcoTank ET-2720

Canon PIXMA G6020

The Epson EcoTank ET-2720 and the Canon PIXMA G6020 are both good all-in-one color inkjet printers with supertanks, but the Canon is slightly better. The Canon feels better built, has higher page yields, a lower cost-per-print for color pages, and prints photos more quickly and with better quality. Also, it can automatically print double-sided, and it has an Ethernet port. On the other hand, the Epson prints documents more quickly.
