Our Verdict

Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7840

Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7310

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7840 is a better printer overall than the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7310. While both can print up to 13" x 19" sheets, the WF-7840 offers much better page yields and significantly cheaper cost-per-print. Also, if your workflow requires scanning, it has a flatbed scanner and duplex-scanning ADF, making it easy to digitize different types of media. On the other hand, the WF-7310 is a print-only model and a better choice if you print a lot of pictures, as it produces much better-detailed photos. It also prints documents faster than the WF-7840.
