Our Verdict

Epson Expression Premium XP-7100

Canon MAXIFY GX7020

The Canon MAXIFY GX7020 and the Epson Expression Premium XP-7100 are all-in-one color inkjet printers. The Canon uses a supertank system for far superior page yields and cost-per-print and is a much better printer overall. The Canon also prints much faster, it can fax if you need it, and its ADF supports automatic single-pass duplex scanning, which is faster when scanning double-sided sheets compared to the Epson's dual-pass duplex scanning. On the other hand, the Epson produces better-looking photos and can also print directly from SD cards.
