Canon PIXMA TR4720 White
Score: 68/100Rankings
The Canon PIXMA TR4720 (white) is a compact all-in-one inkjet printer delivering high-resolution prints, automatic duplex, and a 20-sheet ADF. It offers strong photo quality and mobile printing but suffers from high ink costs and limited connectivity.
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.
