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 Kodak Dock is a portable 4×6-inch dye-sub printer with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C connectivity, delivering 300 dpi laminated prints. Its reliance on proprietary cartridges, lack of a built-in battery, and heavier build reduce true mobility. Suited for event photographers and travelers who need high-quality 4×6 prints and phone charging.

Professional reviewers commend the Kodak Dock for its sleek, lightweight form factor and the convenience of docking and charging a phone while printing. They emphasize the quality of the 4PASS dye-sub process, which yields vibrant, laminated 4x6 photos at 300 dpi. Criticisms focus on the reliance on proprietary cartridges, the single 4x6 print size, and the lack of an internal battery, which may limit true on-the-go use.
Everyday users praise the printer's portability, ease of setup, and the instant, high-quality prints it produces directly from smartphones. The included extra photo sheets and retro styling are frequently highlighted as positives, while concerns center on cartridge costs and the absence of a built-in battery.
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.
“very lightweight”
“Easy setup and instant docking/printing from phone”
“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.”
