Our Verdict
Brother MFC-J995DW
Epson EcoTank ET-2720
The Brother MFC-J995DW and the Epson EcoTank ET-2720 are all-in-one color inkjet printers, but the Epson uses a supertank ink system for superior color page yields and a better overall cost-per-print. However, the Brother performs better in every other aspect, with better black page yields, significantly faster printing speed. It produces much higher-quality photos and much more accurate-looking colors. It also feels much better built and has a better display, faxing capabilities, and an Ethernet port.
