Score: 79/100Rankings
The Epson EcoTank ET-4800 is a wireless all-in-one printer that uses high-capacity ink tanks for low-cost color printing and includes a 30-sheet ADF, fax, and Ethernet connectivity. Its manual duplex, modest speeds, and limited duty cycle keep it from high-throughput office use. Ideal for home offices and small businesses that value ink economy and versatile connectivity.
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.

Professional reviewers commend the ET-4800 for its cartridge-free ink system that dramatically cuts operating costs, its high resolution output, and its robust connectivity options including Ethernet. The large 30-sheet ADF and borderless photo capability are also seen as strong points for home-office and small-business users, though the manual duplex and modest print speeds are noted as trade-offs compared with higher-end models.
Consumers love the low cost per print, the 30-sheet ADF and the ability to print from phones and tablets. The main complaints are about the manual duplex, slower speeds and the limited duty cycle for heavy users.
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.
