Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TS3520

Canon PIXMA TR4720/TR4722

The Canon PIXMA TR4720/TR4722 is an overall better-performing printer than the Canon PIXMA TS3520. The TR4720 is better for monochrome printing, as it has a slightly higher black page yield and a lower cost-per-print for black-only printing. Also, it has an automatic document feeder, has a built-in fax, and can automatically print double-sided.
