Our Verdict

Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3820

Canon PIXMA TR8620

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3820 and the Canon PIXMA TR8620 are all-in-one color inkjet printers that are good for families and students, but the Canon is better for photo printing. The Canon produces much better-looking photos with good detail and vibrant colors, and it has a higher color page yield and a lower photo cost-per-print. On the other hand, the Epson is better for small or home offices, with a better black page yield and black-only document cost-per-print, and it prints much faster.
