Epson EcoTank ET-2400 Black
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 is a cartridge-free all-in-one printer offering very low ink costs and solid wireless connectivity. Its modest print speed and modest paper capacity keep it from high-volume tasks. Best for home offices and small businesses that prioritize operating cost over speed.
The HP ENVY 6055e provides wireless all-in-one inkjet functionality with automatic duplex and borderless photo printing, making it a versatile home printer. It lacks an automatic document feeder and requires both cartridges for any print job, which can be inconvenient. Perfect for families or home offices focused on photo printing and occasional document tasks.

Professional reviewers consider the HP ENVY 6055e a solid, user-friendly home printer that excels in wireless convenience, borderless photo quality, and compact design, but they note its lack of an automatic document feeder, fax, and secure print functions limits its appeal for small-business or high-volume users.
Everyday users generally praise the printer's easy wireless setup, compact footprint, and ability to produce borderless photos, while common complaints focus on the slow duplex process, the need for both cartridges even for monochrome jobs, and the absence of an automatic document feeder for batch tasks.
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.
“The automatic duplex printing, while convenient, is a multi-step process where the paper must be pulled back into the printer to print the reverse side, which some users may find slow.”
“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.”
