Our Verdict

Epson Expression Premium XP-7100

Canon PIXMA TR8620

The Epson Expression Premium XP-7100 and the Canon PIXMA TR8620 are all-in-one color inkjet printers, but the Canon is a better printer overall. The Canon produces photos with excellent quality, good detail, and vibrant colors. It has a slightly higher page yield and better cost-per-print. It also prints black text documents and photos faster, can fax, and can print directly from SD cards. On the other hand, the Epson prints color documents more quickly, and its automatic document feeder can duplex scan.
