Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TR7020/TR7020a

Canon PIXMA TS6420a

The Canon PIXMA TR7020/TR7020a and the Canon PIXMA TS6420a are very similar inkjet printers, but the TR7020 is better suited for a home office thanks to its automatic document feeder. It lets you scan a stack of pages much quicker than using the flatbed scanner on the TS6420a. On the other hand, the TS6420a is a better choice if you print photos often. Its photos look much nicer than the TR7020's, and it prints them much faster.
