Our Verdict

Brother MFC-J895DW

Canon PIXMA TR8620

The Brother MFC-J895DW and the Canon PIXMA TR8620 are both all-in-one color inkjet printers, but the Canon prints significantly better photos, with good detail and vibrant colors. The Canon also has better page yields and a lower cost-per-print for photos and color documents, and it can print directly from SD cards. On the other hand, the Brother prints faster overall, particularly for color documents.
