The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 is an all-in-one supertank inkjet printer compatible with Epson's 522 ink. It has Wi-Fi and USB connectivity and is compatible with Epson's Smart Panel mobile companion app. It has an 8.5" x 11" flatbed scanner but lacks an automatic document feeder and fax functionality. It also lacks automatic duplex printing, meaning you must manually flip the pages when printing double-sided documents.
Our Verdict
The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 is great for home use. Thanks to its high page yields and cheap replacement ink, it doesn't cost much to maintain in the long run. Printed documents look sharp, and photos look detailed and colorful, albeit with some grain present in the pictures. The scanner produces high-quality scans but lacks an automatic feeder, making it less suitable for scanning long, multi-page documents. It also lacks duplex printing, meaning you must manually flip the pages when printing double-sided documents.

The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 is decent for small offices. It produces sharp-looking documents, and its ink tank yields thousands of prints. However, it prints slowly and doesn't support automatic double-sided printing. Additionally, the input tray can only hold 100 sheets of paper, requiring regular refills, and lacks an automatic document feeder for quickly scanning long, multi-page documents.

The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 is a sub-par choice if you're looking for a printer that requires minimal upkeep and responds promptly whenever you need to print a document. Like any other inkjet printer, it can clog if left unused, so it is recommended to print occasionally to prevent dried ink from blocking the printheads. The printheads are not replaceable, but the high flushing volume usually clears clogs and supports multiple deep cleaning cycles. Its ink tank yields a large number of prints, making it a very cost-effective option. However, it prints slowly at only nine pages per minute.

The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 only features a flatbed scanner, making scanning multi-page documents or double-sided sheets time-consuming.

The scanner's image processing boosts contrast and saturation, which may not be ideal for photos where you want to preserve the original color profile.
Very good scan quality.

The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 and the Epson EcoTank ET-2800/ET-2803 are very similar all-in-one inkjet supertank printers. They're nearly identical in features; the only difference is that the ET-2800 has a better display panel, making it easier to navigate the settings menu. It also supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service. The ET-2400's scanner picks up finer details and produces higher-quality scans; however, it also boosts the contrast and saturation more, which you may or may not like, depending on whether accuracy is important to you.
The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 and Epson EcoTank ET-2980 perform similarly overall. The newer ET-2980 prints sharper documents and is slightly quicker. It also includes a display screen, making interaction with the printer less cumbersome. When it comes to photo printing, they're also very comparable. The older ET-2400 can resolve slightly more detail, while the ET-2980's colors are a bit more vibrant.
The Epson EcoTank ET-2850 is better than the Epson EcoTank ET-2400 for most uses. The 2850 feels a little better built, has a display screen, supports automatic double-sided printing, and offers a broader range of wireless connectivity options, including Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service. However, the ET-2400 is a little easier to maintain, is capable of printing faster, and prints sharper images with better color accuracy and a wider color gamut.
The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 and Canon PIXMA G3270 each have their advantages. The Canon feels better built, has a display screen that makes the printer easier to use, has a height-adjustable scanner lid to accommodate thicker documents, and offers support for Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service. The Canon also has a substantially higher page yield. Meanwhile, the Epson offers better overall scan quality and is a better option if you frequently print photos, with a noticeably wider color gamut and better color accuracy.
