Our Verdict

HP ENVY Inspire 7955e

Epson EcoTank ET-2400

The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 is better than the HP ENVY Inspire 7955e for most uses. The Epson yields significantly more prints, meaning it requires less maintenance and costs less to maintain over time. It also produces higher-quality scans as well as more colorful and detailed photos. However, the HP has more features, like a touch-sensitive display to make navigating the settings easier, an automatic document feeder to scan long documents quickly, and automatic double-sided printing.
