Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TR8620a

Canon PIXMA TR7820/TS7720

The Canon PIXMA TR7820/TS7720 and the Canon PIXMA TR8620a are very similar overall. The 8620a has an Ethernet port and can print directly from an SD card. It also has a slightly lower cost-per-print due to its higher page yields. However, the TR7820 prints faster and supports manual duplex scanning.
