Canon Pixma G620

PROS

Excellent print quality,

especially photos. Very

low running costs. Strong

software bundle and

robust mobile device

support.

CONS

Last-century control

panel. No automatic

document feeder (ADF).

Slow printing.

BOTTOM LINE

The six-ink Canon Pixma

G620 prints extremely

well, especially for

photos, at some of the

lowest running costs in

the business. Its low

speed and missing

automatic document

feeder disqualify it for

office work, but it’s a

great value for families.

The ADF-less flatbed scanner restricts scanning and copying to one side of one page at a time.
