Canon PIXMA TS6420
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Canon PIXMA TS6420a is a compact all-in-one inkjet printer offering solid text and photo quality, automatic duplex, and extensive mobile-printing options, but it is slower and lacks an ADF.
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.
