Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TR4720/TR4722

Epson WorkForce WF-2930

The Epson WorkForce WF-2930 is slightly better for most uses than the Canon PIXMA TR4720/TR4722. The Epson feels sturdier, incurs fewer maintenance requirements, has an actual screen for navigating its user interface, uses cartridges with a higher page yield, and delivers sharper scan quality in less time. On the other hand, the Canon prints slightly sharper, more detailed documents.
