Our Verdict
Epson EcoTank ET-2800/ET-2803
Canon MegaTank MAXIFY GX2020/GX1020
The Canon MegaTank MAXIFY GX2020/GX1020 is a better printer than the Epson EcoTank ET-2800/ET-2803. Although the Epson's ink tanks grant it a higher page yield than the GX2020, the Canon has a much faster print speed, pushing out up to 13 black and nine color pages per minute. Print quality for black and color documents is also better on the Canon; however, if you plan on printing many photos, then the Epson may be a better choice. Photos look much better than those from the Canon, which appear overly warm and have a line pattern throughout that obscures small details.
