Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TS3720/TS3722

HP DeskJet 2855e/2852e

The HP DeskJet 2855e/2852e and the Canon PIXMA TS3720/TS3722 are similar budget all-in-one inkjet printers. While neither printer performs particularly well overall, the Canon is the clear choice if you print pictures at home. This is because it prints much more vibrant photos and has a wider color gamut that produces more saturated colors than the HP.
