Epson EcoTank ET-4800 White
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Epson EcoTank ET-4800 is a wireless all-in-one printer that uses high-capacity ink tanks for low-cost color printing and includes a 30-sheet ADF, fax, and Ethernet connectivity. Its manual duplex, modest speeds, and limited duty cycle keep it from high-throughput office use. Ideal for home offices and small businesses that value ink economy and versatile connectivity.
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.
Professional reviewers commend the ET-4800 for its cartridge-free ink system that dramatically cuts operating costs, its high resolution output, and its robust connectivity options including Ethernet. The large 30-sheet ADF and borderless photo capability are also seen as strong points for home-office and small-business users, though the manual duplex and modest print speeds are noted as trade-offs compared with higher-end models.
Consumers love the low cost per print, the 30-sheet ADF and the ability to print from phones and tablets. The main complaints are about the manual duplex, slower speeds and the limited duty cycle for heavy users.
“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.”
