Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA G7020

Canon MAXIFY GX7020

The Canon MAXIFY GX7020 is the newer, office-redesigned version of the Canon PIXMA G7020. Both are all-in-one color inkjet printers with supertank ink systems with incredible page yields, but the MAXIFY is a much better printer overall. It has a significantly higher color page yield and a much faster printing speed. It also has a much better screen, its automatic document feeder can duplex scan, and it can print directly from USB flash drives. The PIXMA has a better overall cost-per-print and also produces photos with much better quality.
