Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA G3260/G3262

Epson EcoTank ET-4800/ET-4810

The Canon PIXMA G3260/G3262 and the Epson EcoTank ET-4800 are both inkjets with supertanks, but the Epson has more features that may be useful for your work. The Epson has an automatic document feeder, built-in fax, and an Ethernet port. On the other hand, the Canon is a better choice if you only need a flatbed scanner to scan. Additionally, it can print many more pages than the Epson, and its color cost-per-print for color documents is cheaper. Unfortunately, neither printer can print double-sided sheets automatically, so you need to flip over the sheets yourself when prompted.
