Epson EcoTank ET-1810

You can get some 4 decent quality photo prints out of this one, but that’s all it has going for it. It’s for printing only – there’s no scanner, and therefore no photocopier either. It lacks a built-in display too, making the interface very awkward. Don’t expect an internal paper cassette; it’s rear tray only, and there’s no automatic Duplex for two-sided printing. It’s a speedy printer for quick prints, but it slows down dramatically when you switch to photo paper and ramp up the quality. But do so and the quality is there, with excellent skin tones and striking colours. Some of the lines aren’t as sharp as they might be, but overall, the quality is better than you’d expect from a four-tank inkjet printer.
