Best Epson Home Printers of 2026: 10 Compared

This is the printer we'd hand most households without a second thought. The HP Smart Tank 5000 pairs cartridge-free, refillable tanks with up to two years of ink in the box, then adds scanning and copying for the usual home jobs. HP's pitch that it keeps printing well after competitors have quit lines up with why it tops our ranking: low fuss, long runway between refills.

Where the 5000 keeps things simple, the HP Smart Tank Plus 651 leans into productivity. It carries the same cartridge-free tank approach and two years of included ink, then adds an auto document feeder plus mobile print, scan, copy, and fax. At roughly 10 pounds it's one of the lighter all-in-ones here, which helps if your desk is tight.

The Epson EcoTank ET-2800 in white is the brand's entry into cartridge-free home printing, and it's an easy one to live with. High-capacity tanks fill from EcoFit ink bottles instead of fiddly cartridges, with up to two years of ink in the box. Epson's Micro Piezo Heat-Free technology drives the sharp text and color, and the design folds in scan and copy for around-the-house tasks.

Functionally the twin of its white sibling, the black Epson EcoTank ET-2800 brings cartridge-free supertank printing in a finish that hides on a busy desk. Each ink bottle set is designed to last, with up to two years of ink in the box and replacement bottles that swap far less often than cartridges. It handles document and photo printing plus scan and copy, and Epson positions it as a reliability-first home machine.

The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is the one to reach for when letter size isn't enough. It prints up to 13 x 19 inches and turns out borderless, full-color photos up to 11 x 17, backed by Ethernet, USB, and built-in 802.11b/g/n wireless. Epson frames it as a high-performance machine for keeping a small business running, and at about 21 pounds it earns its desk space.

Pitched squarely at the home office, the Epson EcoTank ET-4800 stacks cartridge-free supertank printing with a scanner, copier, fax, ADF, and Ethernet. The high-capacity tanks cut down on ink swaps, and Epson's Micro Piezo Heat-Free technology delivers sharp text plus color photos on a range of paper types. A flatbed scanner and color display round out a machine built to handle real paperwork.

The Canon Pixma TR8620a covers the home-office bases as a wireless 4-in-1 for print, copy, scan, and fax, complete with an auto document feeder. Its trick is smart reordering through Alexa, which Canon says keeps you from running too high or too low on ink. With a rated 15 / 10 ipm print speed and a 200-sheet capacity split between a cassette and rear feed, it keeps up with bursts of work.

The Epson Expression Premium XP-7100 leans toward creative home printing, turning out sharp text and color photos as a compact all-in-one. It pairs a 30-page auto document feeder with automatic two-sided printing and a large 4.3-inch touchscreen for quick navigation. Wireless plus Ethernet and Wi-Fi Direct mean it slots into most setups, and it prints straight from a tablet or phone.

If photo output is the priority, the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 is the standout here. It's a wide-format, cartridge-free supertank built around lab-quality photos, graphics, and creative projects, with a high-resolution scanner, Ethernet, USB, and a color touchscreen. Epson cites roughly 4 cents per 4 x 6 photo and up to two years of ink in the box, and at about 24.5 pounds it's the heaviest machine in the group.

The Brother Work Smart 1360 is the value play, and it punches above its place in the ranking. This wireless color inkjet all-in-one bundles automatic two-sided printing, a 20-sheet single-sided ADF, and a 150-sheet paper tray, then connects to cloud apps like Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive through a 1.8-inch color display and the Brother Mobile Connect app. It even ships with a Refresh subscription trial.
