Quick Take
If you're weighing commercial printers and copiers, the first fork in the road is document output versus label output, and then color, speed, and condition. These four picks span a new $169.99 Canon MegaTank inkjet all-in-one, a used $260 Canon monochrome laser all-in-one, a used $450 Brother color laser all-in-one, and an open-box $1,800 Epson color label printer. No single machine covers every scenario, so the useful path is matching the unit to the job: labels need a label printer, text-heavy offices can lean on a mono laser, and color document teams have two different all-in-one routes to weigh.

Product Notes
Canon MAXIFY GX1020 MegaTank Wireless Home & Office All-In-One Color Printer
This is the only new all-in-one in this set, and its listed price is the lowest. It's a color inkjet with MegaTank ink bottles, plus a 2.7-inch LCD touch screen, auto two-sided printing, a 250-sheet paper cassette, and a duty cycle rated up to 27,000 pages per month. It connects through wireless or Hi-Speed USB, and it prints at 15 ipm in black and 10 ipm in color. For an office that needs straightforward color documents without a second machine, this is the practical entry point. The limits are tied to its positioning: it's designed for home and office work, so demanding commercial label or specialty media jobs belong to a different machine in this lineup.
Canon imageCLASS D530 All-In-One Copier Scanner
The Canon imageCLASS D530 is the monochrome workhorse here, priced at $260. It prints at 26 ppm, handles copying and scanning, and includes duplex printing plus USB 2.0 connectivity. Its maximum print resolution is 600 x 600 DPI, which suits text-heavy documents, and it has a stated page count of 14,842, making it the lower-mileage used unit in this comparison. The main limitation is color: this is a black-and-white laser, so any marketing materials, charts, or photos that need color will require a separate printer. It's a strong option for an office that mostly prints forms, contracts, and internal documents and wants a secondhand machine with copier and scanner functions built in.
Brother MFC-L8900CDW All-In-One Commercial Printer
The Brother MFC-L8900CDW is a used color laser all-in-one at $450, with a black print speed of 33 ppm and 24-bit color depth. It bundles scanner, duplex, copier, and fax in one unit, and its connectivity includes USB 2.0, wireless, and Ethernet. Memory is 512 MB. The description lists a page count of 51,092, which is higher than the used Canon, so the machine's condition is the real judgment call here; the title says it's used and sold as-is. If your workflow needs color laser output plus fax and network flexibility, this Brother covers the widest range of office functions without jumping to label-printer territory.
Epson ColorWorks TM-C3500 Color Label Printer
The Epson ColorWorks TM-C3500 is the dedicated color label printer of the group, listed at $1,800 as a new open-box unit. It's an inkjet label machine with a 4-inch print width, wired connectivity, and a commercial focus. The title flags that the included 125m unit was tested, and the printed self-test notes cover a clean nozzle check across all CMYK channels. That makes it the pick for businesses that need color labels produced on a purpose-built machine. The trade-off is scope: because it's a dedicated color label printer, its expected role is narrower than the all-in-one document machines in this set, and it sits at the top of the price range.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- For a new all-in-one that prints color documents at the lowest listed price, choose the Canon MAXIFY GX1020. Its ink-bottle refills, touch screen, automatic duplexing, and 250-sheet cassette make it a complete small-office unit.
- For black-and-white print, copy, and scan with a lower used page count, the Canon imageCLASS D530 fits text-heavy offices. It lacks color, but it handles the core document tasks at a useful price point.
- For color laser printing with fax and flexible connection options, the Brother MFC-L8900CDW is the better match in the middle of the price range. It adds wireless, Ethernet, scanner, copier, and duplex to the laser engine.
- For anything label-focused, the Epson ColorWorks TM-C3500 is the only dedicated label printer here. If your business prints color labels, this open-box unit pairs that purpose with a higher price and a narrower document role.
