Our Verdict
HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e
Canon PIXMA TS9520a/TS9521Ca
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e and Canon PIXMA TS9520a/TS9521a are both solid all-in-one, wide-format inkjet printers. The HP is more of an office printer intended for higher print loads. It excels at printing documents, and its ADF-equipped scanner can perform single-pass duplex scanning. Also, its page yield is much higher than the Canon's, so you'll have to perform less maintenance if you print a lot. By contrast, the Canon's standout feature is photo printing. It offers much better color accuracy and a wider color gamut than the HP, resulting in more detailed and accurate-looking photos.
