Our Verdict

Canon MAXIFY GX7020

Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5180

The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5180 and the Canon MAXIFY GX7020 are both excellent supertank all-in-one printers. The choice comes down to your usage. If you print more in black, go with the Epson because it has a much better black page yield. Otherwise, the Canon is better for color prints. The Canon also prints faster and has a larger input tray, making it a better choice for high-volume printing. The Canon has automatic single-pass duplex scanning, which is much faster and more efficient than the manual duplex scanning on the Epson.
