Our Verdict

Epson EcoTank ET-4700

Epson EcoTank ET-4800

The Epson EcoTank ET-4800 is the updated version of the Epson EcoTank ET-4700. They look and perform nearly identical, but the ET-4800 has higher page yields and prints nicer-looking photos. Neither can print double-sided sheets automatically.
