Epson ET 2850 vs Canon Pixma G6020 

We finally got a Epson printer and about the color, Yes, it has a red tint on it any paper type. I fixed the problem by exploring the 2nd tab on printer properties by clicking the Color Custom. I tune down the Magenta, Contrast, and the Saturation. I tuned up the brightness. I also change from Epson Vivid to Adobe RGB. It took me 6 print test to get what im satisfied with the result.

this review was really helpful and interesting. Thank you, Moshilulu for sharing

This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for reviewing both!! I’ve been at a standstill on which to get aaaa this was very insightful!!

Thank you so much for this video! Was hesitating between these exact two printers for art prints and stickers. Gonna go for the Canon :)

Thank you!!! I had bought an epson but it happened to be refurbished and I returned it because it was faulty and I didn't like the print quality. I was considering getting cannon instead of a replacement and you just sold me on that option Thank you❤

Hey! Thank you for taking the time to record and review these two printers. It definitely helped me solidify my purchase decision.

Thanks for taking the time to review both of these printers. There were some of my top picks and has helped narrowing my choices.

Thank you! This is so helpful!

Awesome review! Wish you could’ve shown a side by side comparison of the same printouts between the two printers, but still great info. Thanks!

Thanks for the very honest video comparing these two printers. Great job explaining the setup and differences in print quality and color accuracy!

Amazing review 😻

Thank you for such a comprehensive review. Most welcome

Thank you for the video, very helpful

I'm in this exact same situation right now. I have a Epson 2800 and colors are off, and I also get little fine scratches on my vinyl sticker paper :( I'm seriously thinking about getting this Canon printer as well. Did you ever have an issue with the Epson feed rollers leaving marks on your sticker paper? Thank you for this amazing comparison.

THANK YOU--- I appreciate the HONEST opinion and review.... many will tell the good, but not hte negative... which is necessary to know the reality of using it. THANKS AGAIN..

I heard you can't use card stock with the Epson ET 2850, do you know if you can use yardstick in the canon pima G6020? By the way great video!

VERY HELPFUL!!! Thankyou

I will be printing stickers but also want to use card stock, what is the heaviest you have put in?

Thank you so much for this video! I was especially looking for someone who'd print their art with the Canon one! That makes my decision so much easier!

I'm wondering... Are the colors off because the monitor is not color accurate? therefore causing you to make your art with different colors to make it look good on the monitor but in actuality causing the discrepancy?

Great informative video. Thanks for sharing!…

How is it working today is it still working well?? do you still recommend the cannon printer??

A number of people have told me the Canon Printer is designed to fail after so many cycles. Several said it did not last any longer than the ink refill bottles that came with it. Apparently, instead of replacing cartridges, you now have to replace the entire printer. It's unfortunate because I currently use a Canon printer who's print head is failing (it won't align anymore). Sad, because I had very little problems with it otherwise and It's print quality was excellent. So knowing that the Canon printer has a short life I have decided to purchase an Epson ET-3850. It's similar to the one reviewed here except it has a paper tray underneath with a 250 sheet capacity. I hope I can resolve any color issues with it, otherwise it will get returned. Anyway, thanks for the great comparison review.

The only negative that I have been able to find for the Canon is the small screen should be back lit ( come on Canon - it would cost pennies to add an LED to the screen ) . The removable heads can be cleaned with a cleaning kit and replaced as the last option is not economically feasible on the Epson. The "waste felt" can be replaced and the counter reset and compatible ink can be bought very cheaply. The fact that the colors are better "out of the box" , less jamming and possibly faster printing "out of the box" make the Canon more "hassle free". After much research my next printer will be the Canon 6020.

I have the same issue for Epson ET-2850, photo is more red(or magenta) . And big problem is, "color correction" in printer properties doesn't work at all, so I can't adjust it. I have return it and wait for Canon pixma g6020 deal.

This was the most candid review of anything I've ever watched, which made the information extremely helpful. You should be a professional reviewer. THANK YOU.

I got the Epson ET-2850 and I'm satisfied with it. For home use, just what I need and produces sharp images. With the eco tank and no ink cartridges, the amount of copies seem endless. However, like you mentioned about the color, the color looks faded and dull compared to other printers.

I like when see two latest cartridge of canon G6020,,, black and colour,,, and now am still used old canon Printer MP258,also with cartridge

any update on the printers after extended use? i wonder the longevity of these things.

Thank you so much for this review. It's a big help for me choosing between Epson and Canon. I was considering both brand. I'm planning to start my business, and I'm more of an art person so I'm very meticulous when it comes to the accuracy of the colors. Great review.

Does the canon have an automatic page feeder for more consistent scanning?

Great video

Thank you 👍

Hello thank you for your review I have a question how do you like how it prints on regular paper?

Did you tried with the regular paper if it still print good? Thanks

Thank you. I was planning to buy Epson but now I will buy Canon. :)

gracias, nesecitaba una segunda opinion sobre la canon, aunque la musica me puso melancolico

Do not sign up for the instant ink on hp, unless you are in business etc. Because they have a chip in their cartridges and if you don't pay or send back the cartridges, they will lockup your printer.

So... what about the printer now?

hi there! is canon pixma g6020 still your main printer for sticker sheet? may i know the update after almost a year usage? i'm planning to buy one for myself. thank you!

I'm not sure if it's just a bad single device. Yes, the epson is a handsome device. I just got mine yesterday morning the 2820. But I kept getting cart wheels/pizza wheels and scratches on my prints. After spending hours on settings and printing, wasting so much of my photo paper. I'm returning it and going to check the canon mega tank out soon, I hope. It's the reason I'm watching this now xD

It’s been 1 year ago hmp do you still have the printer

Thank you for this review. I was so close in purchasing an epson ecotank printer. Now I know not to. 😊

Canon 6020 or epaon et 2800 im confused?

why the hell do they make you use your phone for stuff its fine if u want to but im sick of having to use apps and phone and stuff i just want plug it in and click on my computer and read the intructions

My last 3 printers were Canon that printed, scanned, faxed, etc. I got tired of them quitting after 2-3 years & spending a lot of money. I bought an Epson et4850. It works great & and hopefully, will last longer that Canon. Fingers crossed.

Thanks. This is a great video. Nicely paced and very helpful! I'm leaning towards the Epson but I'm worried about the magenta tint. So I just did a bit of research and found this video where the host talked about "double colour management". Apparently, the printer driver will automatically adjust the colour when your software has already done so and so you need to figure out how to disable that feature in the driver. I'm wondering if that was one of the things you tried? He talks about it at 3:10 in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F82RE2yfqWY.html

I got the Canon g6020...after my mx922 had a code 1403 code..tried fixing that but no good.

I got the canon G6040, same as G6020, but for middle east model, I think.

After 8 months are you still using the Canon?

I have the Epson (Japanese version), but I'm sending it back because it has the paper jam problem (and I've had trouble with alignment). And it doesn't matter even if it's just regular paper. It just pulls several sheets at once or says there's a jam when it's barely started. Finally, it didn't even occur to me that a printer these days wouldn't have automatic double-sided printing, and mine doesn't, so that's a big no-no. I specifically need a printer for art, so it needs to be as good as possible for what I can afford right now.

Does anyone have problems printing with Canon G6020 on matte vinyl sticker paper? Mine turned out super faded for some reason. It's faded on plain paper, too.

1:47, trust me I've gotten the et-2850 and it's build quality is much better than the horrible products (hp) officejet pro 8035e that I had.

Canon is not flimsy. While closing the top cover just push a little on the white holding arm and the cover will close easily.

Have a good day idol.i am your new subscriber! God Bless !

Does the Canon print to the edges of the paper?

All the videos I watched points to Cannon

Why does your print comes out faster than mine?

so after 1 year of use are you still as happy with the canon as you were here in this video, or you discovered some new pros-cons ??

Epson is not a photo printer so don't expect good results on photo paper. You should print on matte photo paper for better results

I only see 4 colors in this video. Isn't it a 6-ink printer?

Canon has replaceable print heads because they use a thermal print head which is not as robust as a Epsons patented micro Piezo print head technology. So they’re replaceable for reason. They have a shorter lifespan and more prone to clogging compared to epson.

Stop the music!

My Canon G6020 stopped working after 2 years. Ink will not flow. None of the cleaning or flushing functions fixed it. It’s now useless to me.

I also have a the same Canon printer, the only issue I have, is if it set's longer then a week without doing some type of printing on it, The head dries up, Also if you want to replace the print heads, they are very expensive.. Thank you for sharing.. I was tempted to get the Epson, friends told me the colors are never right in the printing, mostly they have way to much red or all the colors look very faded.. This video made sure I do not buy one.. Also If you have any issues with any printer This guy shows you step by step how to solve almost any issue... www.youtube.com/@BestPrinters

HI, l like your reviews. I don't have/use a smart phone - I have a flip phone. So without a cell phone to use like you did could the Epson be set up with a desk top PC? Another thing I have come across on various reviews is the clogging issues from lack of frequent use. Another factor I didn't consider is print head replacements. How often and the costs. Seems like everything has a catch to it. I still use a ink cartridge printer/scanner and they have a print head in each cartridge that is replaced but that becomes a vampire to my budget. It looks like your Cannon printer does not have a duplex printing. The Cannon G4210 does. Also here is a link to ink sponges that these tank printers uses. Very informative, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6HUazpXWRYo.html

I grew up with a canon advertisement tagged "with canon you can" which I translated in my head as "with canon, you might". Leading to me not buying anything canon ever. Canon, HP, Brother - all horror stories, avoid these companies at all costs. Epson.. maybe, investigating. Did you, or did you not, use the same paper for epson and canon for the heads picture?

Ink printers are such a hassel. If you don't print daily you will soon get into all kinds of trouble. Laser is the only real choice.

Why the shit music? Hard to hear what you say. Skip the music next video.

Have had so much better luck running Canon Printers.
