Making a decision on your next printer will undoubtedly be tough as both manufacturers are continuously striving to innovate in design, technology and features. Your final choice of an inkjet printer should boil down to the exact features that you need. Some of the best devices from both companies will be compared in various angles to make the decision easier.

Design

Canon Camera

Canon is famous for their PIXMA series, with each model having a black and often curvy finish to blend in well with black desktops, laptops and other peripherals. Epson's printers take a more traditional approach while their photoprinters end up being quite compact.

Technologies and Features

Canon's latest models like the PIXMA iP2702 are ideal for printing clear photos without depending on a laser, so the cost of the printer is lower. It uses a special system known as ChromaLife100 + for printing photos that are long-lasting. It even comes with a software package called "Auto Photo Fix II", which enhances the quality of the photo. Borderless print options are available and speedy as well. It is also efficient in sharp text printing as it is backed with the Pigment Back Ink technology.

The price of The iP2702 is roughly £ 45and Epson has a few models that have the same price tag as well such as the Epson Stylus D120. This printer is aimed more towards the versatility of printing pagesfaster using a technology called the Dual Black System which virtually doubles the print speeds of traditional inkjet printers. The quality is up there as well thanks to the Epson DURABride Ultra Ink technology which is comparable to the quality of laser prints. Although the Epson Stylus D120 isn't designed as a colour inkjet printer like the iP2702, it manages to print some impressive glossy photos.

Variety

Epson offers a greater variety of printers with prices starting £ 50 and rising beyond £ 700 where high quality office and photo printers are being offered. Epson looks to be a good choice for people that want a great selection of printers that can do a lot of different things so that a photo printer and laser printer aren't needed in the same room.

Canon hasa significant advantage in photo printers since Canon offers a greater variety of digital cameras than Epson. Features like camera connectivity and overall photo quality are their strong points while Epson makes a slightly bigger impact for businesses.
