Epson Expression XP-6100 vs Canon Pixma MG5 (2014)

The Epson Expression XP-6100 is a relatively good Home Printer for people that are willing to spend around $110. The Canon Pixma MG5620, by contrast, is quite unremarkable and doesn't stand out in any meaningful way from other products at this price point.

In both cases, however, we recommend that you take look at some other options at the $110 and $630 budget ranges; in all likelihood you'll find some better alternatives.
