Our Verdict

Epson EcoTank ET-2800/ET-2803

HP Smart Tank 7301 [6001, 7001]

The HP Smart Tank 7301 [6001, 7001] is better for most uses than the Epson EcoTank ET-2800/2803. While both printers are all-in-one supertank models, the HP is more feature-rich, with an ADF-equipped scanner and ethernet connectivity. It also prints faster at 12 black and six color pages per minute, and color documents are more saturated and detailed than the Epson. However, if you print a lot of photos, then the Epson is the better choice for you. Colors look vibrant thanks to the use of dye-based inks, and although there is some graining in the print quality, it is fine for casual or at-home photo printing.
