Choosing between two Canon all-in-one inkjet printers often comes down to how much faxing, scanning, and multi-page work you actually do. The Canon PIXMA TS3722 and the Canon PIXMA TR4720 are both new color inkjets designed for home or small-office tasks. They share the same 16-bit color and grayscale depth, but they differ in connectivity and the breadth of office features. This comparison uses the listed prices and key attributes to help you decide.
Quick Verdict
The TR4720 is the stronger choice when your work goes beyond basic print-and-scan tasks. The TS3722 is the more straightforward option for everyday printing and scanning at a lower listed price.

Where Each Product Wins
- Canon PIXMA TS3722: Lower listed price, compact design, and support for photo paper, envelopes, banners, and borderless photos make it a solid choice for everyday home printing and scanning.
- Canon PIXMA TR4720: A wider set of office tools and connectivity options make it the better fit for a busy home office.
Canon PIXMA TS3722 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer for Home Office
The TS3722 is a compact, straightforward all-in-one for printing and scanning. Its hybrid ink system uses pigment black for sharp text and dye-based colors for vivid photos, and it can print on photo paper, envelopes, banners, and borderless sheets. Listed connectivity is wireless, so it fits easily into a typical home network. It handles everyday documents and photos without extra office add-ons. The limitation is its scope: if you need faxing, an auto document feeder, or automatic two-sided printing, the TR4720 lists those capabilities. For a no-fuss wireless printer-scanner, the TS3722 keeps the process simple.
Canon PIXMA TR4720 Wireless Color Inkjet Printer, All-In-One (21-MFP4) New
The TR4720 is the more office-ready all-in-one. It adds a USB 2.0 connection and a networkable design, so you can connect directly or across your office. Its auto document feeder allows multipage scanning, and automatic two-sided printing reduces paper handling. Setup is streamlined with the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app, and the front-loading 100-sheet tray makes refills convenient. The main drawback is the listed price of USD 46.10, which is USD 10.90 more than the TS3722. For that difference, you get a wider range of office tools, but if you rarely use them, the extra cost may not be worthwhile. The two-cartridge hybrid ink system keeps the printing approach familiar.
Final Choice by Use Case
- For simple home printing and scanning over Wi-Fi, the Canon PIXMA TS3722 is the more direct option.
- For a home office that wants a wider set of all-in-one capabilities, the Canon PIXMA TR4720 is the more capable pick.
If your work rarely goes beyond straightforward document printing, the TS3722 keeps things simple. If you want one machine that can handle a wider range of office tasks, the TR4720 is the better match.
