Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA PRO-200

Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550

The Canon PIXMA PRO-200 and the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 are excellent photo printers, although they're suited for different environments. The Canon is the better choice if you only print photos in a professional environment. It has much better color accuracy and a wider color gamut. However, the Epson is a much more versatile printer; it has a scanner and prints documents much faster. It's a great choice for office settings that need to print a variety of color media from documents to posters.
