Best Canon printer overall
The Canon Pixma TS9120 is a compact, all-in-one printer that's well-suited to home (and light home office) duties. This mid-range inkjet printer offers not only great document printing but also delivers some of the fastest printing we've seen, along with quickest-in-category copying.
Estimated ink costs are average — but that's the only thing average about this little powerhouse. And at a printing cost of 7.8 cents per page for black-and-white and 19.8 cents per page for color, the printer's 6-color ink process offers superb photo printing alongside the usual document printing.

Top budget pick
If you want a more budget-friendly printer, the Canon Pixma MG3620 offers a better-than-average, all-in-one printer for less than $60. And even for a value-priced model, this device delivers high-quality prints.
The overall features are pretty basic, though we appreciate the inclusion of automatic duplexing at this price point. The compact design is small enough to fit on most desks and the light weight makes it easy to move from one room to another. The only feature we really missed was a built-in display, but button-based controls still do the trick.

With only two ink cartridges – one black and the other tri-color – the cost of prints is slightly above average, but for the user who only prints now and then, it offers excellent print quality without a huge investment. The Pixma MG3620 also offers faster-than-average performance for printing, scanning and photo printing, with better image quality than most other budget printers.
If you're on a tight budget or only print documents and photos once in a while, the Canon Pixma MG3620 is a bargain.

Great all-in-one for small offices
When you need more than a home printer can handle, the Canon Maxify MB5420 offers plenty of business-worthy features for less than $300, making it not only a great printer, but also a solid bargain.
This workhorse office printer delivers impressive performance, with fast printing at nearly laser-printer quality. Two-sided printing is equally impressive and fast, and a built-in document feeder makes two-sided scanning and copying easy. The Maxify MB5420 handles more than just text documents; it produces sharp, detailed graphics and photo printing with fine detail and subtle colors, all with aplomb.
With two 250-sheet paper trays, it's well-suited to handling large projects, and printing costs are more than reasonable, especially when using high-capacity cartridges. For a modestly-priced, small-office printer, the Canon Maxify MB5420 has a generous feature set and excellent performance across the board.
