Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA G6020

Epson EcoTank ET-2800/ET-2803

The Canon PIXMA G6020 and Epson EcoTank ET-2800/ET-2803 are all-in-one inkjet printers with refillable ink tanks. The Canon is slightly better overall as it's more feature-rich than the Epson. It offers a much larger input tray capacity of 350 pages and automatic duplex printing, which is great if you have a large print load and need to print many double-sided documents. By contrast, the Epson produces nicer-looking scans and more color-accurate and vivid photos. It's a good choice for at-home photo printing.
