Best Epson Printers for Home and Office Use

If you'd like to get all at once and don't want to sacrifice any features to get low long-term running costs, the Epson EcoTank ET-4760 may interest you. It's one of the most advanced all-in-one devices from Epson that can be ideal for small offices in need to print lots of pages each month without worrying about the costs of consumables.

Instead of using traditional, disposable ink cartridges, this multifunctional printer boasts the EcoTank technology and has four separate ink tanks that you will be able to refill by yourself once they get empty. The bottles last a long while, therefore, the device has an amazingly high print yield. Actually, a monochrome page will cost you somewhere about 0.3 cent and a color page will be slightly less than 1 cent. These cost-per-page ratings are surely among the lowest on the market.

Yet, the device doesn't sacrifice productivity perks for lower ink costs. It's a 4-in-1 machine that can not only print, scan, and copy, but also send faxes if needed. Despite that, it's a bit smaller than its competitors with the same set of functions - it measures just 10 x 16.4 x 19.8 inches. Even with its smaller size, the ET-4760 printer packs in a 250-sheet paper drawer and a 30-sheet automatic document feeder.

Office-ready, the maximum monthly duty cycle of this mini beast makes 5,000 pages, while the printing speed of documents is 15 ppm, which is about on par with bulkier models within its price bracket. The texts and graphs get consistently well-shaped, accurate, and highly legible with little-to-no banding or streaking. The printer is also capable of producing good-quality photos.

The WorkForce ET-3750 is another decent addition to the Epson's Eco-Tank lineup that focuses primarily on running costs. That's why the pack already includes enough ink to deliver as many as 14,000 pages in monochrome and 11,200 pages in color, which is equivalent to about two years of regular use with no refilling.

Like other EcoTank printers, this one uses refillable ink bottles rather than traditional ink cartridges. The ink is fairly easy to load since all the tank ports are color-coded and the tops of ink bottles are 'keyed' differently so that you won't put the wrong color in a given ink reservoir. The cap on each bottle easily slots into the tank in order to prevent spillage. Also, all the ink tanks have exterior level windows allowing you to tell at a glance how much ink has remained.

If you print something at least once a week, the ET-3750 will keep the color ink heads 'primed and fluid' by using just a little bit of ink. And despite low ink consumption, both documents and photo prints get excellent. A pigmented black ink produces a smooth, detailed text that rivals the quality of a typical laser printer. Color printing is also sharp, bold, and bright, though the ET-370 uses three colored inks only (cyan, magenta, and yellow). The device responds quickly to all printing commands and prints quickly. Yet, take note that it has no label printing and fax capability. It's just a basic all-in-one inkjet with scan and copy functions.

With an affordable price tag, reasonable per-print cost, and a rich variety of connectivity options, the Epson Expression Premium XP-7100 makes a very strong showing. The manufacturer calls this model a "Small-in-One printer” since it has a compact body (not really larger than a typical inkjet printer) but still handles document printing, photo printing, copying, and scanning perfectly well.

Owing to its glossy black body, the printer has an upscale look and can seamlessly blend with the rest of your high-end electronics on the desk. And while the XP-7100 may seem boxy at a glance, it's a nice transformer with the lid flipping and sliding to reveal a paper tray and an automatic document feeder. Also, it has a flip-out control panel with a large intuitive 4.3" touchscreen display allowing you to view, edit, and print photos right from USB or SD card slot if needed. Below the screen, you’ll find the two paper trays that are adjustable. One of them can accommodate specialty photo paper of different sizes.

As mentioned, this mini all-in-one comes with an ADF, as well as a flatbed scanner, meaning you have a choice depending on what you’re going to scan. The ADF also allows for single-pass auto-duplexing printing, which is a nice feature that simplifies work quite a lot.

The Epson ET-2760 is an affordable inkjet all-in-one printer from the EcoTank series. So, if you'd like to get accustomed to cartridge-free Epson printers, this entry-level model can be a good option to start with. It ensures excellent output and low printings costs, making it a solid buy for low-volume small offices. And if you wonder why we recommend it mainly for "low volume" jobs, there are a few reasons for that.

To begin with, it's a bit slower compared to its more robust siblings. With the print resolution of 5760 x 1440 dpi, the ET-2760 outputs only 10.5 ppm for monochrome and 5 ppm for color pages. That's about half as fast as the high-end ET-4760 model. That said, slow print speeds often contribute to a printer's ability to create sharp and vivid documents, and this model isn't an exception. The ET-2760 churns out great-looking documents with well-shaped characters, spacing, and pair kerning. Business graphs also come out well-detailed with smoothly flowing gradations from one color to another.

Moving on, we would like to point out that the ET-4760 lacks some key productivity features, and an automatic document feeder is among them. Since it has no ADF, you'll need to place each page of a document on the scanner bed, scan it, remove it, and then repeat the process for the next pages.

Speaking about the paper handling, the printer is fitted with a 100-sheet input tray on the back and a 30-sheet output tray at the front. The input tray can also fit 20 sheets of photo paper and 10 envelopes.

The Epson EcoTank ET-2760 is surely one of the best models for student use. It's moderately-priced, compact enough for confined dorm rooms, and boasts a supertank system that yields tons of black and color pages before it needs a refill. Plus, it's extremely easy to use.

The first thing that you'll notice upon delivery is how simple the printer is to set up. While many printers require you to plug it into your computer somehow, this one even has no port for that. All you really need to do is just plug it into a power outlet and then set it up with your Wi-Fi network. That's all. The hardest part would be entering the Wi-Fi password manually using arrow keys.

The bundled software like the Epson printer drivers and Epson Scan 2 will be uploaded in no time, and you'll be able to print almost immediately. With that, all the gadgets connected to your Wi-Fi network will be paired with the printer automatically due to the peer-to-peer wireless network protocol. Afterward, you'll be able to control printing tasks via Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Fire OS support, Mopria Print Service, and Epson's iPrint app. Also, the ET-2760 supports the Voice-activated Printing feature for Alexa and Google Assistant ecosystems, meaning you can print a variety of projects and documents, using just your voice.

Another thing that makes this all-in-one a real pleasure to use is its cartridge-free capacity. Like other EcoTank units, it comes with ink bottles (black, yellow, red, and blue) that are easy to fill and that cost about $40 per set (equals less than 1 cent per page).
