#BEST COLOR PRINTERS FOR SMALL BUSINESS 2017 SERIES#

Setting up the TR8520 is simple and straightforward, though it does entail an extra step or two more than most other inkjet AIOs. As for the TR8520's maximum monthly duty cycle and recommended monthly print volume, as we saw with the TS-series Pixmas earlier this year, Canon doesn't publish these numbers for its consumer-grade (as opposed to business-oriented) printers anymore. That, and its support of HP's Instant Ink subscription program, makes it the least-expensive of these models to use, especially when printing photos.Д¬onfiguring the TR8520, as well as setting up and initiating walkup tasks, such as making copies or printing from cloud sites, is handled from a spacious and easy-to-use 4.3-inch color touch LCD that, aside from the power button, comprises the entire control panel.

HP's Envy 7855 comes with just the four process color inks. Epson's XP-640 uses five inks, too, and the Canon TS9020 and TS8020 each use six (the pigment-black ink and a photo-gray ink that not only expands the color gambit, but also increases the quality of grayscale photos). In addition to the standard four die-based process color inks-cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK)-you also get a pigment-black ink that darkens text and black areas in photos, as well as increases the color gambit (range). While the TR8520 doesn't look much like its predecessor, the Canon MX922, it does deploy the same five inks. Both the Canon TS9020 ($301.06 at Amazon) and TS8020 ( at Amazon) come with the same 100/100 two-tray configuration the HP 7855 has one 125-sheet paper drawer, as well as a 15-sheet photo paper tray, which is similar to the Epson XP-640's 100-sheet paper drawer and 20-sheet photo paper tray. You can also use the rear tray for feeding the printer up to 20 sheets of premium photo paper. In terms of paper handling, the TR8520 can hold up to 200 sheets, split between a paper cassette up front, beneath the control panel, and a 200-sheet upright tray at the back of the chassis. (As you can see, the field of family- and home-office-oriented inkjet AIOs is quite large between the four major inkjet printer manufacturers-Brother, Canon, Epson, and HP-there are so many that discussing them all here isn't feasible.) The HP 7855 is about 6 inches longer than the TR8520 and weighs about half a pound less, whereas Canon's own ADF-less Pixma TS9020 and Editors' Choice TS8020 are inches smaller in all directions, and both models weigh about 3 pounds less than the TR8520.ДЄlso similar in size and weight to the TR8520 is the Epson Expression Premium XP-640 Small-in-One ($199.20 at Amazon), and it has no ADF. In contrast, the TR8520 comes with a 20-sheet ADF, which is slightly smaller in capacity than the HP Envy Photo 7855's ($229.99 at HP) 35-sheet document feeder, though neither of them support auto-duplexing for scanning and copying multipage two-sided documents. But that's partly because many of them don't have automatic document feeders (ADFs) for sending multipage documents to the scanner. Measuring 7.5 by 17.3 by 13.8 inches (HWD) with its trays closed, and weighing 17.5 pounds, the TR8520 really is significantly smaller and more than 8 pounds lighter than its predecessor, making it a much more comfortable fit for the average desktop.Д®ven so, there's no shortage of petite printers in this category these days. More Than a Pretty FaceД¬anon says that the TR8520 ($99.99 at Best Buy) is 35 percent smaller than the MX922 ($289.00 at Amazon), which the company attributes to a new print engine, smaller circuit boards and power supply, an improved paper path, and reworked internal design-in other words, it was redesigned.

The TR8520 all-in-one printer is smaller than the Canon MX922, redesigned in and out, and supports Bluetooth, making it our new top pick for family and home-based office, low-volume printing and copying.

Specifically, the TR8520 replaces the Editors' Choice Pixma MX922.

Meanwhile, the Pixma TR8520 Wireless Home Office All-in-One Printer ($199.99), one of two models in the Canon's TR series (it has a slightly lower-end sibling, the soon-to-be-reviewed Pixma TR7520), edges out the past-its-prime MX-series (family and home-based office) Pixmas. Earlier this year, Canon replaced its outdated cube-shaped MG-series (consumer-grade photo) Pixma printers with new TS-series Pixma models.
