Our Verdict

Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3820

HP OfficeJet 8015e

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3820 is much better than the HP OfficeJet 8015e. The Epson feels sturdier build-wise, and it has more features, like Ethernet connectivity and fax functionality. It prints and scans faster than the HP, and its cost-per-print is lower because its ink cartridges yield more prints. It isn't quite as color-accurate as the HP when printing photos; however, it can produce finer details and a wider range of colors.
