Professional reviewers commend the TS6420a for its excellent photo and document quality, compact design, and easy wireless setup, but criticize its low ink yield, slow printing and scanning speeds, and the absence of an ADF.
Everyday users generally praise the printer's small footprint, straightforward wireless connectivity, and good photo output, while repeatedly mentioning slow print speeds, frequent ink replacements, and limited scanner capabilities as common pain points.
“a relatively straight path down into the printer (rather than being pulled 180 degrees from a bottom tray), this model is much less likely to jam when you're using thicker paper or cardstock.”
Reviewers consistently highlighted the EcoTank ET-2400's cost-effectiveness, noting the cartridge-free design and high-yield ink bottles as a major advantage for home-office and small-business users. The printer's genuine Epson build quality, reliable rear-feed paper handling, and versatile high-resolution flatbed scanner were also praised, positioning it as a solid all-in-one solution for budget-conscious buyers.
Users echo the professional sentiment, especially valuing the rear-feed paper path that reduces jams with thicker media and the generous ink supply that lasts for years. The combination of wireless connectivity and sufficient paper capacity is seen as convenient for everyday home-office tasks, while the borderless photo printing and high-resolution scanning receive positive remarks.
