Canon MAXIFY GX7020

Ink tankBottles

Fax and two-sided scanning are what separate this from the GX6020, and for anyone who digitises paper the scanning is the feature that justifies the price. Both machines carry a 50-sheet feeder, but only this one scans both faces of a double-sided stack without re-stacking, so the pages come out in order. Everything else carries over: 24 ISO pages a minute, all-pigment ink, 14,000-page colour bottles, 350 sheets of paper across two sources, Ethernet, a 2.7-inch touchscreen and a front USB socket for walk-up scanning to a stick. At nearly twenty-nine pounds and over twelve inches tall, it is also poorly suited to a bedroom desk.

Best for

A paper-heavy home office that scans double-sided documents often enough for a two-sided feeder to change the day.

In its favour

Scans both sides of a stack from the feeder, which the GX6020 cannot
14,000-page colour bottles mean far fewer refills than any other tank here
Fast enough to replace a small office laser
Front USB socket makes walk-up scanning possible without a computer
All-pigment output survives highlighters and damp

Against it

Large and heavy — nearly 29 lb and over 12 inches tall
No borderless photo printing; this is a document machine
600 × 1200 print resolution will disappoint anyone expecting photo output
