Our Verdict

HP Smart Tank 7602

Epson EcoTank ET-4850

The HP Smart Tank 7602 and Epson EcoTank ET-4850 are all-in-one super tank printers with similar overall performance. Both offer exceptional cost per print; the 4850 yields a lot more black pages, while the 7620 yields far greater color pages. While neither printer has great color accuracy, photos look significantly better on the Epson due to its superior color gamut. The 7602 allows you to print directly from USB flash drives, offering a convenience that the 4850 lacks.
