Canon PIXMA G7020 vs Epson EcoTank ET-2800

A step up from the Editors' Choice-winning Pixma G6020 MegaTank, Canon's Pixma G7020 Wireless MegaTank All-in-One ($329.99) is a cartridge-less (bulk-ink) multifunction inkjet designed for printing and copying a few hundred pages per month in a home or small office. Like most lower-end bulk-ink models (Including Canon's MegaTank, Epson's EcoTank, and HP's Smart Tank Plus brands), this one prints well, if a little slowly. And it churns out both black and color pages for under 1 cent each, making it a terrific value for those with moderate print and copy needs (say, between 300 and 500 pages a month)

However, when you print multiple copies or a document with multiple pages, the ink (especially black) skips and leave unprinted lines. I tried the alignment and head cleaning maintenance options, but it only made a tiny improvement. It's better than not being able to print at all, but definitely not ideal. I expected better quality when I ordered it

I did receive the replacement printer. It took slightly longer, but it did arrive, so here is the update review. I was able to set the replacement printer up as with the first one and connect to my laptop and phone just fine. This time I had no problems printing with it

I have given up trying to connect ANY Epson printer by Wi-Fi...just use a printer cable and then cross my fingers

I wish companies would be responsible and quit producing garbage that winds up in the land fill with minimal use. This will weigh HEAVILY in my mind before I EVER purchase another product by Canon. The thought of not replacing ink looks attractive, but I never would have had to. This product wasn't even made to last through a set of cartridges maybe two

I had a nice HP priinter,but the last time I replaced the ink cartridges with the larger (more ink) replacements it cost me around$150.00. So I said I would never pay that amount again. I decided to try the new Epson eco-tank,so we'll see if the ink lasts two years like they say in the ad

The Canon PIXMA G6020 is a very printer and it is replacing a cartridge-based HP printer for which I have not been able to buy ink cartridges for several months now. The amount of ink that is in the “Supertank” ink reservoirs is impressive and I have read that it contains about the same amount of ink as 84 ink cartridges! Even if it is a small fraction of that, the economics of buying a big bottle of ink for $12 vs paying twice that much or more for a much lower capacity ink cartridge is obvious. In fact, just two complete ink cartridge replacements on my previous HP printer would pay for this new Canon printer and all the ink that came with it (one of each color and three bottles of black)! I am so glad to get out of the paying big $ for ink cartridges, assuming you can even get them. Print quality seems fine, but it is a bit slower than the HP I am replacing

Bought this printer so I could start selling art and stickers. I was looking at the Canon Pixmas but decided on the Ecotank instead due to the different ink setups. If you’re on a budget, go for the Pixma, if you can splurge, definitely go for a higher end Ecotank. Was fairly disappointed at the print quality, this model was the cheapest that had the ability to print on cardstock, although I still haven’t figured which setting to use even though I’ve had the machine for almost a month(as of the initial writing of this review)

Scanning works with simple scan as installed in bullseye (I expected a major fight here). All of this wirelessly.. which is awesome

This printer offers Ethernet, Wi-Fi, wireless direct, and NFC connectivity, and is fully Android/iOS/Google Cloud Print/AirPrint/tablet/mobile and cloud compatible. It supports direct scanning to: Evernote, DropBox, Google Drive, and OneNote.
