Our Verdict
Epson WorkForce WF-2830
Epson WorkForce WF-2930
The Epson WorkForce WF-2930 is very similar to the Epson WorkForce WF-2830. The 2930 is the newer model, but the differences between the two models are vanishingly few. The older 2830 prints marginally faster and has a similarly small display that conveys more information at a glance.
