Our Verdict

Epson Expression Premium XP-7100

Brother MFC-J995DW

The Brother MFC-J995DW is much better overall than the Epson Expression Premium XP-7100. The Brother is better built and offers a much higher page yield for both color and black pages, so the cost-per-print is much lower. It also prints photos in better quality, and the input tray holds more paper. However, the Epson offers more connectivity options, and the sheetfed scanner supports duplex scanning.
