Our Verdict

HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e

Epson EcoTank ET-2850

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e is better than the Epson EcoTank ET-2850. The HP feels better built, has a larger touch-sensitive display, and is capable of printing sharper, more detailed documents substantially faster. The HP is also a faster scanner capable of automatically processing double-sided documents. On the other hand, the Epson is the better buy for value-conscious consumers, as its supertank design allows for a much greater page yield. Combined with the relatively inexpensive ink refills, the cost-per-print is significantly less than the HP.
