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 Step is a pocket-sized Bluetooth/NFC printer that creates 2×3-inch sticky-back photos at 1200 dpi in under a minute. Its small format, limited battery life, and occasional color fidelity issues restrict it to casual, on-the-go photo sharing. Best for travelers and scrapbook enthusiasts who value portability over size.

Professional commentary is limited, but product-page editors highlight the Kodak Step's vivid "fantastic" print quality, rapid sub-minute printing, and the feature-rich KODAK STEP app as strong points, while noting the scarcity of independent, in-depth reviews.
Everyday users consistently praise the printer's effortless Bluetooth setup, quick print times, and durable sticky-backed photos, especially for high-contrast images, while occasional complaints focus on limited print size, color fidelity on low-contrast pictures, and the 25-print battery limit.
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.
“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.”
