Epson Expression Premium XP-6100
Score: 89/100
HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101sdw
Score: 91/100Rankings
The HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101sdw delivers fast monochrome laser performance with automatic duplex, strong security features and extensive connectivity, aimed at small teams. Its large duty cycle and ENERGY STAR rating make it efficient, though paper handling is limited to a single tray.
The Epson XP-6100 delivers excellent photo quality and versatile connectivity in a compact design, but its lack of an ADF and higher consumable costs make it better suited for low-volume home use.
