Our Verdict
Brother MFC-J805DW INKvestment Tank
Canon PIXMA G7020
The Brother MFC-J805DW INKvestment Tank and the Canon PIXMA G7020 are both very good all-in-one color inkjet printers, but the Canon uses a supertank ink system for a superior cost-per-print and page yields. The Canon also prints photos more quickly and has an Ethernet port. On the other hand, the Brother does print documents a bit faster.
