Epson or Brother

If your first filter is price, better go to the next stage. The prices of both brands are similar in all models, from simple printers to multifunctional professionals. Both also offer only a one-year warranty.

Epson printer cartridges are cheaper because the print head is in the printer itself. However, the repair of the injectors are very difficult, since it requires almost always to go to the official technical service. That is, although Brother cartridges are more expensive, in the long run it may be more advantageous to pay for Epson repair.

EPSON inkjet cartridges

There are very cheap Epson ink cartridges on the market and even a kit to refill yourself with ink. We must take into account when buying a printer the use it will have and the number of copies we will make weekly or monthly.

Also, Epson offers many inkjet printers. Instead of using cartridges with injectors, these versions have ink tanks that are much cheaper. In addition to a larger space for the ink, the durability is also increased, which is more economical. You just have to be careful with the ink level in the printer and understand the ink level on the printed sheets and not through any technology. Therefore, it is best to wait until the ink runs out to fill the tank or buy a new cartridge.

Overall, Epson's print quality is better than Brother's. In tests, for example, Epson and Brother, Epson their prints are brighter compared to the Brother model. But this, of course, may depend on the quality of each printer.

Trying to answer the question Epson or Brother ? It must be said that the two companies have options and applications for wireless printers for direct printing from their mobile device. But Epson also has some downsides on some models that incorporate Wi-Fi connectivity, which often causes the connection to drop for no apparent reason.

There are printers with Wi-Fi, RJ45 (LAN) and the most common USB connectivity. It is a very important fact to keep in mind if we are going to share the printer with various computers in our home or small office.

If you need help, the two companies have authorized service or repair centers in several countries in Spain and Latin America. In addition, there is a lot of useful information on both sites, such as the possibility of downloading machine drivers. A positive point of Brother is the possibility that your page identifies the product, without the user knowing all the necessary information.

In the last 5 years, the purchase of B / W laser printers has increased due to its long toner life and the large number of copies we can make per minute with them. Its price has plummeted.

In short, brands offer different advantages and disadvantages. Epson or Brother ? It all depends on the use you want to give it, but one thing is certain: both are large and have the best models on the market. Ideally, think about your user profile and identify what is most advantageous. Keeping track of promotions can also make a difference.
