Canon PIXMA TR4720 Black
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Canon PIXMA TR4720 is a compact all-in-one wireless inkjet offering printing, scanning, copying, and faxing with an automatic duplex and a 20-sheet ADF. It delivers vivid photo output but incurs high ink costs and slower color speeds.
The Kodak Step is a palm-sized, battery-powered Zink printer that creates 2×3 in adhesive photos directly from iOS or Android devices. It offers great value and portability, but its speed, print quality and reliance on a mobile app limit its use to casual scenarios.
