Our Verdict
Canon PIXMA TR8620
Canon PIXMA G3260/G3262
The Canon PIXMA TR8620 is a better printer for casual photos and families, while the Canon PIXMA G3260 is better if you print in black and white frequently. The TR8620 produces significantly better-looking photos and prints them much faster, it has an Ethernet port, and it can print directly from SD cards. Additionally, the TR8620 has an automatic document feeder and can fax. On the other hand, the G3260 uses a supertank system for far superior page yields at a much cheaper cost-per-print.
