EcoTank L3110

I have the Asian model of the G2730 called the G3770. It's basically the same exact printer but with an extra red color. I've been liking it a lot so far. Build quality feels strong and robust. Been using it to print photos, documents, and stickers, and while not as great as dedicated 6 color printers, it's good enough for a photo you wanna frame. Well, for me atleast. The canon app has been very nice to use. Wifi functionality is great and very easy to setup. My family prints a lot and my little sister is in senior high so she'll be printing lots especially when she goes to college. The ink waste pad and print head are used replaceable so I'm confident it'll last longer than my old Epson EcoTank L3110. That one had a lot life left to it but unfortunately the printhead had started clogging and no amount of cleanings I do seems to fix them. The other printer you picked looks to be a cartridge printer. Printer cartridges are quite pricey so I avoid them. You end up spending more than the cost of the printer eventually. If you're just wanting to print documents occasionally I'd look into a laser printer. Just try and remember to print a CMYK test sheet every week or 2 and it shouldn't clog.

Epson ecotank with 4 dye ink (you can see if the model has 4 dye ink by looking at the tanks if they all have the same size). Canon G5XX/G6XX Series. They use 6 INK, with extra Red and Gray. It's ink is more expensive but it's a almost pro level ink for photography that has great lightfastness. But with this printer you will not want to print a lot of documents/non photo because of it's ink price (check for the price if you think it's acceptable). But the ink price is not an extortion, it's just the quality itself.

Epson PM-400 prints multiple sizes up to 5x7. The print app is easy to use. Ink cartridge is an all in one and cost about $35 for 100 prints which is the average number of prints per cartridge. It prints on anything that will work in an ink jet. It's a great portable small printer and I have one for crops. At home I use an Epson Eco Tank. I've had it 4 years this Christmas and have only bought ink refills once. I print all my pictures at home. It is an all in one print/copy/scan. Photos are excellent quality and resolution. It doesn't print bigger than 8.5x11.

Canon Selphy is going to be the best bang for your buck, but limited in size of prints and media. Canon Pixma or Epson PM-400 will offer more options as a portable ink jet. A regular Canon Megatank or Epson Ecotank is going to be the most cost effective in the long run if you print at home. I have an Epson Ecotank, print at home and have only refilled ink in my printer once in four years. It prints beautifully and also scans and copies. I also have the Epson PM-400 that I use as a portable printer when I attend crops. The instant printers like instax or Zip are fun little printers. Good for one offs, but expensive and not quality high resolution prints.

Can't give any review of the Canon. I do have an Epson EcoTank. It prints great, never had connection issues. However, if it sits too long without use (30+days) the print heads can get dry and I had to go multiple rounds cleaning the heads. But, this printer was also in a room without AC and it gets hot here in the summer. I've only replaced ink once in four years and I print everything at home.

I've also noticed my canon g7020 prints better pictures then Epson ECOTANK I also noticed the canon G7020 sits better not printing for 1 week at a time vs the Epson I also noticed my canon has no expiration on the ink. But the Epson is like 2-3 years.

Ecotank is garbage for photo prints

I have an ecotank for printing documents. They are not well suited for making photographic prints

I love my epson ecotank printer. There’s lots of sticker makers that use it and you can find reviews on YouTube. Ink is cheaper too than buying cartridges. Comes in bottles.

I have an ecotank. Its slow and not the best quality print but you can print a lot on one bottle of ink and thats what i care about
