Canon PIXMA TR8620
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Canon PIXMA TR8620a is a compact wireless all-in-one inkjet for home office use, offering high-quality photo output, a five-ink system, and a 4.3-inch touchscreen. It includes dual paper trays and a 20-sheet ADF, but lacks automatic duplex scanning.
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.
