Side by Side

Is the price difference of $112 worth it?

It depends on what you need from a Printer. We'll break it down for you.
Comparison summary:
Advantages of Canon Pixma MX492:
  • We couldn't find any reasons to recommend Epson WF-3720.
Advantages of Epson WF-3720:
  • It is $112.34 cheaper
  • It prints faster in black-and-white
  • It prints faster in color
  • It can produce higher quality black prints
  • It can produce higher quality color prints
  • It can scan/copy a stack of up to 35 pages, while Canon Pixma MX492 can only go up to 20.
Alright, now let's go into details.
5 differences we consider important:
  • Epson WF-3720 prints faster in black-and-white (20 vs 8.8 PPM)
    In black-and-white, Epson WF-3720 prints at 20 pages per minute (PPM). Canon Pixma MX492 measures at 8.8 PPM.
    Epson WF-3720 would take about 05:00 to print 100 pages, Canon Pixma MX492 would take 11:22.
  • Epson WF-3720 prints faster in color (10 vs 4.4 PPM)
    In color, Epson WF-3720 prints at 10 pages per minute (PPM). Canon Pixma MX492 measures at 4.4 PPM.
    Epson WF-3720 would take about 10:00 to print 100 pages, Canon Pixma MX492 would take 22:44.
  • Epson WF-3720 can produce higher quality black prints (4800 x 2400 vs 600 x 600 DPI)
    The black print DPI of Epson WF-3720 is 4800 x 2400. Canon Pixma MX492 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.
  • Epson WF-3720 can produce higher quality color prints (4800 x 2400 vs 4800 x 1200 DPI)
    The color print DPI of Epson WF-3720 is 4800 x 2400. Canon Pixma MX492 has the DPI of 4800 x 1200.
    • Unless you are a professional photographer, 1200 x 600 DPI will be fine for printing photos.
  • Epson WF-3720 can scan/copy a stack of up to 35 pages, while Canon Pixma MX492 can only go up to 20.
    This feature is known as 'ADF Capacity' - it's the maximum number of sheets that you can fit into the ADF paper input tray.
9 similarities we think are important to mention:
  • 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 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.
  • Both printers can scan/copy custom-sized documents (built-in flatbed scanner).
    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.
  • Both printers can scan/copy stacks of documents (built-in ADF).
    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.
  • Both printers support two-sided scanning (duplex ADF scanner).
    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.
  • Neither printer accepts touchscreen commands
    Touch-screen displays allow you to interface with a printer much faster, especially scanning and copying.
  • Both printers are 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.

scanner Scan, Fax, and Photocopy

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.

wifi_tethering Connectivity

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.
