Canon PIXMA TR4720
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Canon PIXMA TR4720 is a compact all-in-one inkjet that delivers high-resolution prints and includes useful features like an automatic document feeder and voice-assistant support. Its drawbacks are slower color photo output, lack of duplex scanning, and occasional hardware reliability concerns. Best suited for home offices that need versatile document functions without heavy photo-printing demands.
The Kodak Step is a pocket-sized Bluetooth/NFC printer that creates 2×3-inch sticky-back photos at 1200 dpi in under a minute. Its small format, limited battery life, and occasional color fidelity issues restrict it to casual, on-the-go photo sharing. Best for travelers and scrapbook enthusiasts who value portability over size.

Professional commentary is limited, but product-page editors highlight the Kodak Step's vivid "fantastic" print quality, rapid sub-minute printing, and the feature-rich KODAK STEP app as strong points, while noting the scarcity of independent, in-depth reviews.
Everyday users consistently praise the printer's effortless Bluetooth setup, quick print times, and durable sticky-backed photos, especially for high-contrast images, while occasional complaints focus on limited print size, color fidelity on low-contrast pictures, and the 25-print battery limit.
Professional reviewers commend the TR4720 for its compact footprint, fast document printing, versatile all-in-one functions and the inclusion of fax and hybrid ink, making it a solid choice for home or light-office environments. However, they note slower photo printing and the absence of duplex scanning as drawbacks compared to competing models.
Everyday users value the straightforward wireless setup, reliable mobile app printing, good document quality and the handy ADF, while recurring complaints focus on partially filled starter ink, slow photo output, occasional hardware glitches and the lack of duplex scanning or larger paper support.
