Epson EcoTank ET-2980 vs Epson EcoTank ET-4800

Buy the ET-2980 if you print often and want automatic two-sided printing, faster output and higher resolution. Buy the ET-4800 if you need a document feeder for copying and scanning multi-page stacks, a fax line, or wired Ethernet. The ET-2980 is the newer, quicker machine with auto duplex and a higher rated duty cycle; the ET-4800 trades speed and duplex for an ADF, fax and Ethernet. Both use refillable EcoTank bottles, so running costs stay low on either.

• Choose the ET-2980 if you want auto duplex printing, faster 15/8 ppm output and a higher monthly duty cycle for everyday home printing.
• Choose the ET-4800 if you regularly copy or scan multi-page documents and need a 30-sheet ADF, fax and Ethernet.
