Epson All-in-One Home Printers: EcoTank, WorkForce and Expression

Best for
Busy home offices printing high volume

The Epson Workforce Pro WF-3820 Wireless Color all-in-one is built for speed. PrecisionCore Heat-Free Technology delivers 21 black and 11 color ISO pages per minute with fast first-page-out, and DURABrite Ultra instant-dry pigment inks produce sharp, professional prints. Epson designed it for high-volume use with reduced downtime.

Productivity features include auto 2-sided printing, a 250-sheet paper capacity and a 35-page automatic document feeder for scanning and copying stacks. It weighs 19.4 pounds and measures 16.7 by 17.1 by 9.8 inches. It uses Epson genuine cartridges, and the listing warns that non-genuine ink could cause damage not covered by the limited warranty.

This suits a home office or a family that prints stacks of documents. For heavy color printing, an EcoTank may cost less to run, and for photos the XP-7100 is better equipped.

• 21 black/11 color ISO ppm
• 35-page ADF
• 250-sheet capacity
• Auto 2-sided printing

Best for
Families wanting low-hassle everyday printing

The Epson EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless Color All-in-One is a cartridge-free supertank printer for everyday home use. Epson says each ink bottle set equals about 90 individual cartridges and that the box includes up to 2 years of ink, enough for up to 4,500 black and 7,500 color pages.

It prints at 10 ISO pages per minute using Micro Piezo Heat-Free Technology, supports envelopes, glossy photo paper and plain paper, and has a flatbed scanner. Connectivity includes wireless and voice-activated printing. It weighs 11.4 pounds. No automatic document feeder is listed.

This is a strong default for households printing homework, recipes and game checklists. If you want faster output and zero warmup, the ET-2903 is newer. For a wider look at the range, see our guide to Epson wireless all-in-one printers.

Best for
Photo prints, posters and disc labels

The Epson Expression Premium XP-7100 Wireless Color all-in-one is the creative pick. It is a 5-color printer that prints borderless photos up to 8 by 10 inches, handles specialty paper and even prints directly on DVDs, which is fun for labeling game captures or movie-night mixes.

A 4.3 inch touchscreen lets you view, edit and print photos straight from USB or an SD card. It adds a 30-page ADF, auto 2-sided print, copy and scan, multiple media feeds, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Wi-Fi Direct. It uses Epson genuine cartridges, weighs 21.5 pounds and copies at up to 15.8 pages per minute in black.

This suits photo lovers and anyone printing posters or art. For cheaper everyday volume, an EcoTank is the better economy choice.

• 5-color photo printing
• Borderless prints up to 8 x 10 in
• DVD printing
• 4.3 in touchscreen with card slot

Best for
Cartridge-free printing with a scanner

The Epson EcoTank ET-4800 Wireless Color All-in-One supertank printer uses high-capacity ink tanks and EcoFit bottles for easy filling. Micro Piezo Heat-Free Technology prints sharp text and color photos on virtually any paper type, and it includes a high-resolution flatbed scanner and a color display.

The listing has a problem: its product description describes a different device, the WorkForce ES-50 mobile document scanner, not this printer. The feature bullets and specs, which list 10 pages per minute copying, 11 pounds and 13.6 by 14.7 by 9.3 inches, are the parts that apply. The listing does not specify how much ink is included, page yields, or paper capacity, so check the product page details before buying.

This suits buyers who want an EcoTank in a compact footprint. If you want documented ink yields, the ET-2800 and ET-2903 listings are clearer.

Best for
Basic, light home printing

The Epson EcoTank ET-2803 Wireless Color All-in-One is the basic EcoTank for light home use. Each ink bottle set equals about 80 cartridges, and the box includes up to 2 years of ink, enough for up to 4,500 black and 7,500 color pages. EcoFit bottles make refilling easy.

It has a flatbed scanner, color display, wireless and voice-activated printing, AirPrint and the Epson Smart Panel app. It copies at 10 pages per minute and is the lightest here at 8.8 pounds. The listed dimensions of 22.8 by 14.8 by 10 inches appear to swap depth and width compared with the ET-2800.

This suits students and small households. Heavier users will appreciate the WF-3820’s speed or the ET-2903’s extra ink.

Best for
Newest EcoTank for crisp photos

The Epson EcoTank ET-2903 Wireless All-in-One Color printer is Epson’s 7th generation of cartridge-free printers. It includes enough ink for up to 3 years, or up to 3,600 black and 6,500 color pages, and each replacement set equals about 80 cartridges. Uniquely keyed EcoFit bottles prevent mix-ups.

It prints 11 black and 6 color ISO pages per minute with zero warmup, at up to 5760 by 1440 dpi for detailed photos and text, and supports borderless printing. A permanent Heat-Free printhead is designed to last the life of the printer. It has a 100-sheet tray, flatbed scanner, a 1.44 inch color screen, and supports AirPrint, Mopria Print Service and Mopria Scan. It weighs 9.3 pounds.

This is our pick for most homes that want low-hassle ink and good photos. For heavy document stacks, the WF-3820’s ADF and speed win.
