Canon PIXMA TR8620a
Score: 79/100Rankings
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 Kodak Dock is a portable 4×6-inch dye-sub printer with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C connectivity, delivering 300 dpi laminated prints. Its reliance on proprietary cartridges, lack of a built-in battery, and heavier build reduce true mobility. Suited for event photographers and travelers who need high-quality 4×6 prints and phone charging.

Professional reviewers commend the Kodak Dock for its sleek, lightweight form factor and the convenience of docking and charging a phone while printing. They emphasize the quality of the 4PASS dye-sub process, which yields vibrant, laminated 4x6 photos at 300 dpi. Criticisms focus on the reliance on proprietary cartridges, the single 4x6 print size, and the lack of an internal battery, which may limit true on-the-go use.
Everyday users praise the printer's portability, ease of setup, and the instant, high-quality prints it produces directly from smartphones. The included extra photo sheets and retro styling are frequently highlighted as positives, while concerns center on cartridge costs and the absence of a built-in battery.
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.
