Our Verdict

Epson EcoTank ET-2720

Epson WorkForce ST-M1000

The Epson EcoTank ET-2720 is an all-in-one color supertank printer, while the Epson WorkForce ST-M1000 is a monochrome supertank printer. The ET-2720 is a better choice since it has a flatbed scanner, color, and decent photo printing quality. On the other hand, the ST-M1000 is better for office work if you only need to print in black and white. It yields more black pages, prints significantly faster, and supports automatic duplex printing. Also, it has an Ethernet port to plug into the router directly.
