Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TR4720/TR4722

Epson Expression Home XP-4200

The Epson Expression Home XP-4200 is better than the Canon PIXMA TR4720/TR4722 for most uses. The Epson yields more prints and is cheaper to maintain. The Canon produces better color documents but prints more slowly than the Epson. Although the Canon has a wider color range and is more color-accurate for photo printing, it isn't as good as the Epson when it comes to small details.
