Product notes
Canon PIXMA MX922 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer - NEVER USED
This Canon all-in-one is the one to watch if you care about image detail. It includes a 9600 x 2400 DPI maximum print resolution, a 2400 x 4800 DPI scan resolution, and 48-bit color depth, so color prints and scanned documents have a lot of data behind them. The 48-bit color depth and the 2400 x 4800 DPI scanner resolution both point to an imaging-focused machine. Wireless connectivity is included, and the condition is open box, so it is not a new unit even though the title says never used. You also get a 1-year manufacturer warranty, which helps if you are comfortable getting an open-box model. If your work leans toward photos or graphics, this is the stronger choice. The main thing to weigh is the open-box condition rather than a brand-new box.
HP Smart Tank 7603 All-in-One Inkjet Printer, Color Mobile Print, Copy, Scan
The HP Smart Tank 7603 is the new-condition option in this pairing. Its input type covers print, copy, scan, fax, ADF, and wireless, so it can handle a wider set of office tasks from one machine. Because it is new, the condition is straightforward, and the automatic document feeder is useful for multi-page documents. The title also highlights Color Mobile Print, so printing from a phone or tablet is a stated capability. One limitation is that the fax transmission speed is N/A, which may matter if faxing is a regular part of your workflow. If you want a new, ready-to-place all-in-one with faxing and a document feeder, this HP is the more complete package.
Final choice by use case
If your workflow is built around detailed color prints and scans, the Canon PIXMA MX922 gives you the imaging specs to feel confident. If you need a broad all-in-one for a busy office routine, the HP Smart Tank 7603 has the wider feature set. Let the feature priorities in this comparison make the call for you.
