Our Verdict

Epson EcoTank ET-2400

Epson Expression Photo XP-8800

The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 performs much better overall than the Epson Expression Photo XP-8800. The ET-2400 is a supertank inkjet printer that yields thousands of prints on a single tank, resulting in extremely low recurring costs. It beats the XP-8800 at its intended purpose of photo printing, as photos look more detailed and vibrant on the ET-2400. It also prints much nicer-looking black-and-white documents than the XP-8800, but color documents look rather faded. However, its scan quality is much better, and its document print speed is comparable overall. The major weakness of the ET-2400 is connectivity; it's limited to USB or Wi-Fi, while the XP-8800 also supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria print service and supports printing from SD cards and USB devices.
