Canon PIXMA G7020 vs Epson EcoTank ET-3850

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)

Just got this Epson Echo Tank et 3850. Let's open the box so open it up. Now I'm done filling the ink tanks. I'm going to start the charging process

.if you just can't afford a laser printer and the insane prices they are charging for toner cartridges.

The ink costs on the Workforce Pro 3820 are significant. I would take that one off your list unless you want to pay $20-40 for each color ink cartridge.

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

It's also one of the best printers for iPad and iPhone printing we've tested, thanks to its great array of connectivity options. Alongside Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, it integrates with Apple's Siri or Amazon Alexa for voice-activated printing. In addition, it has a high-resolution flatbed with extendable lid hinges to accommodate thicker items like books, and its automatic document feeder allows you to digitize multi-page documents without having to manually scan each one.

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

Epson's higher-end EcoTank printers have replaceable waste cartridges ("maintenance boxes"), so you don't end up having to call for service or replace the whole machine due to internal ink pads filling up. Be sure to check the specifications to make sure this is the case, as less expensive models don't have this feature.

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

Essentially, I'm going to be printing off photo paper, regular paper, and showing you the print quality and print speed on this printer. Lastly, if yo...

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.

The simple way is to set your paper size to the Letter - 8-1/2 x 11 size at the top of that short list. Then you can work with any size actual paper that will fit within the margins. For my project I used 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 bifold card stock but told the printer it was 8-1/2 x 11. The printer ran it on through without a hitch

First, this unit is compact. It does everything the HP did, but in probably a bit over 1/2 the space. It weighs about half as much as the HP did, too. Nice, considering I have a small office space
