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 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.
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.
