Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA G7020

Canon PIXMA TS9520a/TS9521Ca

Although the Canon PIXMA TS9520a/9521Ca and the Canon PIXMA G7020 are both all-in-one inkjet printers, there are a few differences, as the TS9520a is a wide-format model that can support paper sizes up to 11" x 17", while the G7020 can only print up to Legal size (8.5" x 14"). Also, the TS9520a uses more traditional ink cartridges, while the G7020 is a supertank. The G7020 is a little better when it comes to document printing quality. As for photo printing, it has a wider color range but isn't as color-accurate as the TS9520a.
