Our Verdict
Epson EcoTank ET-2720
Canon PIXMA G3260/G3262
The Canon PIXMA G3260 and the Epson EcoTank ET-2720 are both inkjets with supertanks that are designed for families, but the Canon is better for most uses. The Canon yields more pages and offers a slightly lower cost-per-print for photos and color printing, and it has better photo quality. Also, the Canon prompts you to flip sheets over when duplex printing, whereas the Epson doesn't allow for duplex printing at all. On the other hand, the Epson starts printing sooner than the Canon after going unused for a while.
