Has anyone have any experience with either of these two printers? I am considering purchasing either one of these and I'm wondering how they are? Please note I am considering just these two printers due to budget and ease of use. I realize that there are differences due to the mega tank feature of the G 620 and the paper size.
I would appreciate it if the comments stay within these two printers.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

I'm sure that you don't go around commenting when other members of the forum need to ask member experiences on camera comparisons of say a Nikon Z50 and a Nikon Z 6, or some of the many other questions that are asked here. So why are you making a comment here and wasting my time?

I have had a PIXMA G620 for several months. So far it has worked very well. Print quality of standard documents and photos are both excellent. The only drawbacks are that it is a bit "noisy" and slower than some of my previous Canon printers. Too early to gauge ink usage, but it appears to be good.

Thank you very much for your input.

I’ve had the 8720 for several years; printed ‘000s of 8.5 x 11. IMO, the quality is outstanding. My only complaint is the usual one - ungodly cost of ink. The G620 seemed to be the perfect replacement (for me, at least), but it doesn’t play with Mac. All of the great reviews must be from PC users.
Hope this helps.
Almost forgot - I don’t think the 8720 is available.

Fred, thank you for your response. The ink cost is something I was wondering about. Could I ask you about ease of use, please.

I can only testify about the ip8720 - and, everything is great except for the ink cost. One thing I caught on to early on - don’t put a new cartridge in when it first says it’s empty. Keep printing until they start to look like crap. There’s usually plenty of ink still in there.
I never got to use the G620; there are no drivers for the latest Mac software.

I have the 8720 and does a very nice job.

There are arguments for each camera. I’d probably go with a Gitzo because Manfrotto sounds like some kind of faux Italian faux ice cream.
