Summary: Which Printer Should You Choose?

Choose EcoTank L11050 if you need:

  • A3 printing rather than the other printer's maximum A4 format.
  • A 100-sheet output capacity, compared with 50 sheets.
  • An included colour ink yield of 5,600 pages, plus a replaceable maintenance box and pickup roller.
  • A lighter 6.4 kg printer with direct USB printing support.

Choose InkTank DCP-T730DW if you need:

  • Printing, scanning and copying in one device, with a 20-sheet ADF.
  • Automatic duplex and a 15.5 ppm ISO colour speed, compared with 8 ppm.
  • A 150-sheet input capacity and an included black ink yield of 15,000 pages.
  • Support for Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS, plus AirPrint and Mopria.

Decision: The DCP-T730DW is the best overall choice due to its broader functions, speed and document-handling features, while the L11050 is the better fit when A3 printing is essential.

What Is the Difference Between EcoTank L11050 and InkTank DCP-T730DW?

Epson EcoTank L11050 Printer and Brother DCP-T730DW Ink Tank Printer both use four-colour CMYK inkjet systems and support USB, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, IPv4 and IPv6. Both work with Windows and macOS and can handle media weighing up to 300 g through at least one paper path.

The main difference is that the L11050 is a print-only A3 model, while the DCP-T730DW is an A4 multifunction printer with printing, scanning, copying, a 20-sheet ADF and automatic duplex. The Brother model reaches 15.5 ppm in ISO colour printing versus 8 ppm, holds 150 input sheets instead of 100 and includes black ink rated for 15,000 pages rather than 6,400. The Epson model counters with a 100-sheet output capacity versus 50, a slightly higher included colour yield of 5,600 versus 5,000 pages, direct USB printing and replaceable maintenance components.

The L11050 benefits users whose priority is printing larger A3 documents without scan or copy functions. The DCP-T730DW suits users who need a more complete A4 document workflow with multi-page scanning, copying and faster colour output.
