If you find our budget pick too expensive, check out the Canon PIXMA MG3620, the best cheap printer we've tested. However, its scanner doesn't capture fine details as well as the Brother's scanner. This high-capacity ink reservoir gives it a much higher page yield, making it even cheaper to maintain over time. Its feature set is similar to the Brother, but this printer has a refillable ink tank instead of ink cartridges. If you can afford to spend a little more, you may want to consider the Canon PIXMA G3260. On the bright side, you won't have to worry too much about long-term maintenance costs, as the ink cartridges yield a large number of prints and are relatively cheap. It also lacks automatic duplex printing, meaning you'll have to flip the pages manually when printing double-sided. Unfortunately, a tradeoff for its budget-friendly price is its slow printing speed.

Printing-wise, this model produces high-quality documents as well as detailed and reasonably color-accurate photos. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an automatic document feeder, so scanning multi-page documents can take a while. Scans are sharp and detailed, making it suitable for digitizing photos, and its lid hinges can extend to accommodate thicker items like books and magazines. You can connect to the printer via Wi-Fi or USB, and it supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, so you can easily print from your smartphone without needing a third-party app. It's an all-in-one color inkjet model designed for general home use.

The best budget printer we've tested is the Brother MFC-J1205W, also known as the Brother MFC-J1215W at Walmart.
