can produce higher quality black prints
- Canon Pixma TS9020
can produce higher quality black prints (9600 x 2400 vs 600 x 600 DPI)The black print DPI of Canon Pixma TS9020 is 9600 x 2400. Canon MG7720 has the DPI of 600 x 600. What is DPI? In short: number of dots a printer "draws" per inch. Higher DPI means higher quality print. It's not the easiest thing to understand, so if print quality is very important to you, we suggest reading an article on DPI.- 600 x 600 is more than enough DPI to print any kind of documents.
- Higher DPI takes more ink to print, draining your cartridge/toner faster.
- Whenever you see 'DPI', it's actually referring to the 'maximum DPI'. Your printer will often choose to lower the DPI where necessary to conserve ink.
- Both printers
can print over Wi-Fi Printing over Wi-Fi is a very common feature, available even in most budget models. - Both printers
can print from mobile In most cases, if a printer supports wireless printing, it also supports Wi-Fi printing. - Both printers
support two-sided printing Automatic duplex printing (also known as two-sided printing) refers to a printer's ability to print on both sides of the paper, without having to manually flip it. - Both printers
have a built-in scanner & copier Scan and copy technology have a large hardware overlap. If a printer supports scanning, it will likely support copying. -
Neither printer can scan/copy custom-sized documents Flatbed scanners allow scanning documents one by one. Unlike ADF scanners, you can only scan one page at a time. However, flatbed scanners allow you to scan custom-sized documents, like passports, drivers licenses, etc. Flatbed scanners also tend to produce higher quality images. -
Neither printer can scan/copy stacks of documents ADF, or Automatic Document Feeder allows a printer to scan or copy a stack of pages. This feature is so important that even the cheapest printers try to include it. Technically speaking, ADF is not a feature of the printer - it is a feature of the scanner or copier. -
Neither printer supports two-sided scanning A two-sided (duplex) ADF scanner allows scanning a stack of documents on both sides. -
Both printers have an LCD status display LCD status displays are very useful. Your printer can tell you if ink is low or paper is jammed. -
Both printers accept touch-screen commands Touch-screen displays allow you to interface with a printer much faster, especially scanning and copying. - Both printers print at about the same speed in black & white (15 PPM) Both printers print at 15 pages per minute (PPM) in black-and-white. To print 100 pages in BW it would take about 06:40
- Both printers print at about the same speed in color (10 PPM) Both printers print at 10 pages per minute (PPM) in color. To print 100 pages in BW it would take about 10:00
- Both printers produce the same quality color prints (9600 x 2400 DPI) Both printers have a maximum color DPI of 9600 x 2400.
- Unless you are a professional photographer, 1200 x 600 DPI will be fine for printing photos.

Neither printer is energy star qualified .Energy Star is a set of standards that aims to reduce energy consumption of various devices. An Energy Star Qualified printer consumes less electricity to operate and is more environmentally friendly.
The four main functions of printers are: printing, scanning, photocopying, and faxing. Either your device will be print only, print/scan/copy, or an all-in-one printer that does printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Note that scanning and copying almost always come together, since the hardware for these features overlaps significantly. Generally speaking, all-in-one printers are larger, so those with space constraints may find this to be an inconvenience. Additionally, printers with a fax feature are typically more expensive. It would be wise to only consider this feature if you plan to fax often. If not, you’ll be satisfied with a print/scan/copy device.
Network printers can be wired or wireless. A printer with a wired network connection uses an Ethernet cord that connects directly to your router. A wireless printer connects to your home or office Wi-Fi network. Any computer also connected to your network can use your printer, whether it’s wired or wireless. You will have to install software, or printer drivers, on the computer before you can print. Also, there is a setup process for the printer to get it on the network. If your printer is not wireless, you’ll need to connect it directly to your computer via USB cable, which is not ideal if you have multiple users that need the printer simultaneously.
Outside of Wi-Fi, there are a number of ways a device can connect to a printer. If the printer is not wireless, you’ll have to connect to your printer via USB cable. Some people prefer using the wired connection because it allows for faster data transfers and quicker printing. Depending on the speed of your Wi-Fi and how strong the signal is, it can take time for the document to send from computer to printer over the network. Using a wired connection eliminates this issue. Other connections you may have are: Ethernet for wired connection to your network; Airprint or Google Cloud Print for quick direct printing over the cloud/internet; USB hard drive or memory card to print directly from storage devices; or PictBridge to print directly from cameras.
Printers with an LCD screen/display give you the option to control some settings directly on the printer, such as a one-touch print, scan, copy, or fax. You may also be able to adjust print quality, preview the print job, and/or view connection settings. Some screens are programmed to offer setup instructions for easy installation. For those who are not particularly tech savvy, this could be helpful.
