Canon PIXMA TR8620a
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Canon PIXMA TR8620a is a feature-rich all-in-one inkjet offering fast, high-resolution printing, versatile paper handling, and multiple connectivity options, making it well-suited for home and small-office environments. Its limitations include a modest duty cycle and a relatively heavy chassis, which may deter high-volume or highly mobile users. Ideal for users who value photo quality and multifunction capabilities over sheer throughput.
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 consider the TR8620a a near-identical update to the TR8620, praising its reliable hybrid ink system, fast photo output, and comprehensive connectivity while noting its limited duty cycle and lack of high-volume laser speed.
Everyday users commend the easy-to-use 4.3″ touchscreen, Alexa integration, and ability to print on thick photo media, while occasional complaints focus on the heavy packaging and the higher per-page ink cost typical of inkjet printers.
