Score: 79/100
Epson EcoTank ET-2400 Black
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Canon PIXMA TR8620a is a feature-rich all-in-one inkjet offering fast, high-resolution printing, versatile paper handling, and multiple connectivity options, making it well-suited for home and small-office environments. Its limitations include a modest duty cycle and a relatively heavy chassis, which may deter high-volume or highly mobile users. Ideal for users who value photo quality and multifunction capabilities over sheer throughput.
The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 is a cartridge-free all-in-one printer offering very low ink costs and solid wireless connectivity. Its modest print speed and modest paper capacity keep it from high-volume tasks. Best for home offices and small businesses that prioritize operating cost over speed.

Professional reviewers consider the TR8620a a near-identical update to the TR8620, praising its reliable hybrid ink system, fast photo output, and comprehensive connectivity while noting its limited duty cycle and lack of high-volume laser speed.
Everyday users commend the easy-to-use 4.3″ touchscreen, Alexa integration, and ability to print on thick photo media, while occasional complaints focus on the heavy packaging and the higher per-page ink cost typical of inkjet printers.
“a relatively straight path down into the printer (rather than being pulled 180 degrees from a bottom tray), this model is much less likely to jam when you're using thicker paper or cardstock.”
Reviewers consistently highlighted the EcoTank ET-2400's cost-effectiveness, noting the cartridge-free design and high-yield ink bottles as a major advantage for home-office and small-business users. The printer's genuine Epson build quality, reliable rear-feed paper handling, and versatile high-resolution flatbed scanner were also praised, positioning it as a solid all-in-one solution for budget-conscious buyers.
Users echo the professional sentiment, especially valuing the rear-feed paper path that reduces jams with thicker media and the generous ink supply that lasts for years. The combination of wireless connectivity and sufficient paper capacity is seen as convenient for everyday home-office tasks, while the borderless photo printing and high-resolution scanning receive positive remarks.
