Our Verdict
Epson Expression Home XP-4200
HP DeskJet 2855e/2852e
The Epson Expression Home XP-4200 is much better than the HP DeskJet 2855e/2852e in almost every way. The Epson produces higher-quality documents, photos, and scans. It prints slightly faster than the HP, and its larger 100-sheet input tray means you won't have to refill the tray as often. Although neither has a particularly good page yield, the Epson is much better, producing significantly more prints than the HP, making it cheaper to maintain over time.
