Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA MG3620

Canon PIXMA TS302a

The Canon PIXMA MG3620 is a better cheap inkjet printer than the Canon PIXMA TS302a. The MG3620 is an all-in-one unit with a flatbed scanner, and it prints better documents. The TS302a is a print-only unit, despite marketing wireless scanning capabilities. This means using your smartphone to scan documents through Canon's PRINT app. The scan quality is terrible, and as anyone with a smartphone can already produce scans, this feature doesn't add any value to the TS302a. The TS302a prints marginally better photos, so it's better than the MG3620 if you only print photos.
