Our Verdict

Epson Expression Home XP-4200

HP DeskJet 2955

The Epson Expression Home XP-4200 is a better printer overall than the HP DeskJet 2955. It produces sharper documents and more detailed photos, supports borderless photo printing, and can automatically print double-sided documents. Its individual color cartridges also let you replace each color separately, and its running costs are lower. However, both printers have low page yields, print slowly, and lack an automatic document feeder. The HP printer's cartridges have built-in printheads, so replacing a cartridge provides a straightforward way to address persistent clogs.
