Best Inkjet Printers in 2026: Cartridge and Ink-Tank All-in-Ones Ranked by Owners

The ET-2803 is the ET-2800’s near-identical twin, usually sold through different channels, and it carries a better owner score: 4.2 stars from 3,900 reviews. The hardware story is the same: refillable tanks with up to two years of ink in the box, yields of 4,500 black and 7,500 color pages per set, Epson’s heat-free head, a flatbed scanner and copier and dual-band Wi-Fi. EcoFit bottles are keyed so each color only fits its own tank, which saves the classic refill mistake. Like the ET-2800 it lacks duplex and a document feeder and is not quick. When both are in stock, buy whichever is cheaper that day; the better reviews here suggest later production and a smoother out-of-box experience, which is the only real difference owners describe.

Canon’s MegaTank G3270 is the ink-tank printer to buy when the Epsons feel expensive: it is usually cheaper, it includes up to two years of ink, and its black yield of about 6,000 pages per set is the highest on this page, with 7,700 in color. It prints, copies and scans over Wi-Fi, with a small 1.35-inch LCD for menus rather than a touchscreen. Like the Epson tanks it prints one side at a time, and owners rate it 4.1 stars from 5,200 reviews, with the Canon app setup the main complaint and print quality the main praise. For a family printing homework and the occasional photo, it is the lowest cost per page here at a lower entry price than the EcoTanks; the Epsons win on review volume and on the keyed bottles.

The PIXMA TS6520 is the cartridge printer for someone who prints a little, wants duplex and does not want to spend tank money. It prints on both sides automatically, scans and copies, connects over dual-band Wi-Fi and has a small OLED display for status, in a compact white box. Ink is Canon’s two-cartridge system, a pigment black and a tri-color, which is simple to replace but means an empty cyan takes the whole color cartridge with it; the cost per page is several times what the tank printers manage. Owners rate it 4.2 stars from 2,000 reviews and praise the print quality and setup. Buy it for a dorm or a rarely used home office, and buy XL cartridges when the starters run out.

The TR8620a is the inkjet for a spare-room office: it prints, copies, scans and faxes, feeds stacks of pages through an automatic document feeder, prints two-sided and holds 200 sheets across a cassette and a rear tray, so plain paper and photo paper can both stay loaded. Five individual cartridges mean you replace only the color that runs out, and Alexa can reorder ink when it runs low. Speed is 15 black or 10 color pages a minute. It is a cartridge printer, so heavy users will spend more on ink than with a tank, and its 4.0 stars from 6,400 owners include complaints about ink used in cleaning cycles. For scanning contracts and printing invoices a few times a week it is the most complete machine here.

The WorkForce Pro WF-3820 is the inkjet that behaves like a small office laser: 21 black pages a minute, a 250-sheet tray, automatic duplex, a 35-page document feeder, fax and Ethernet. Its DURABrite Ultra pigment inks dry instantly and survive highlighters and damp fingers, which is why it suits documents over photos, where the Canons produce richer color. Ink is by cartridge, so it is a fit for a home office printing dozens rather than hundreds of pages a week, and Epson’s listing is pointed about non-genuine ink and the warranty. Owners rate it 4.0 stars from 3,000 reviews, with speed and reliability the common praise and ink cost the common complaint. If you need a fast, businesslike inkjet rather than a family one, it is the pick.

The PIXMA TS3720 is the printer for someone who prints a few pages a month and refuses to spend more than necessary: it prints, copies and scans, connects over dual-band Wi-Fi and handles photo paper, envelopes and borderless prints, in a small white box that 3,500 owners rate 4.0 stars. It is slow at under eight pages a minute, prints one side at a time and uses the two-cartridge system that makes its cost per page the highest here. None of that matters for a boarding pass and a permission slip. It matters a great deal if you print every day, in which case the TS6520 adds duplex for a little more and the tank printers pay for themselves within a year. Buy it for light, occasional use and nothing else.
