The buying difference is the full document path, not wide-format printing alone. Epson EcoTank L14150 prints up to A3+ from the rear feed, but scan, copy and fax stay at Legal: 21.6×35.6 cm on the glass and the ADF, and auto-duplex is officially A4 plain paper only. Brother MFC-T4500DW is an A3 office MFP: it prints, scans and copies near A3 (glass and ADF up to 29.5×42.98 cm) with automatic duplex up to A3 on plain or recycled paper.
Choose the L14150 if you print A3/A3+ drawings or spreadsheets occasionally, keep day-to-day filing at A4, and want a lighter 9.7 kg body on the desk. A3+ print does not prove A3 scan, copy or duplex.
Choose the MFC-T4500DW if the office moves A3 originals both ways, or needs higher throughput: ISO 22/20 ipm versus 17/9, a 50-sheet ADF versus 35, and 350-sheet input on two trays versus 250. The 220–240 V SKU sold for this market weighs 20.5 kg in Brother’s manual, not the 19.14 kg figure used on some other regional pages.
Included ink yields are close (6200/5200 vs 6500/5000) and both panels are about 6.8 cm; a 0.1 cm rounding gap is not a capability. Brother is the closer A3 office machine; Epson is the closer compact wide-print option with Legal scanning.
Print/Scan/Copy/Fax, Ethernet plus Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, four-colour tank ink, ~6.8 cm touchscreen. Included ink yields are close and do not settle the buy.
If the office needs A3 for print, scan, copy and duplex, Brother MFC-T4500DW is the closer machine. Epson EcoTank L14150 fits a desk that prints A3/A3+ occasionally, keeps scan and copy at Legal/A4, and wants a lighter body.
Based on current prices, EcoTank L14150 Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 490 USD versus 580 USD for MFC-T4500DW Ink Tank Printer. The price difference is 90 USD, about 15.5% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
No. L14150 scan area is 21.6×35.6 cm on the glass and the ADF (Legal), and maximum copy size is Legal. A3+ print from the rear feed does not prove A3 scan or copy. MFC-T4500DW scans and copies up to about A3 (29.5×42.98 cm).
On the L14150, auto-duplex is officially A4 plain paper only. On the MFC-T4500DW, auto-duplex goes up to A3 on plain or recycled paper in Brother’s spec. Neither model is listed with duplex scanning in this table.
On the same ISO test, MFC-T4500DW is faster at 22/20 ipm versus 17/9, with a 50-sheet ADF versus 35 and 350-sheet input versus 250. Light A4 work can still suit Epson; higher office volume points to Brother.
Brother’s 220–240 V manual (Australia and other countries, the SKU for this market) lists 20.5 kg; the Taiwan 100–120 V unit is 20.4 kg. The 19.14 kg figure on some marketing pages belongs to mixed regional listings and should not be used here.
Not in a decisive way. Both panels are about 6.8 cm after unified rounding; 0.1 cm is not a capability. Fax memory is 100 pages on the L14150 versus up to 180 ITU-T #1 pages on the T4500DW—useful for fax queues, not a substitute for the A3 scan and duplex gap.
