The DCP-T536DW is the best overall choice because it combines more functions, faster document printing and more practical paper handling. The L18050 is the better fit when six-colour photo output and A3+ media support are the priorities.
Both the Epson EcoTank L18050 Printer and Brother DCP-T536DW Ink Tank Printer use piezoelectric inkjet technology and support colour borderless printing, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct. Both work with Windows and macOS, while neither includes Ethernet or a dedicated rear media feed.
The main difference is that the L18050 is a print-only photo model supporting A3 and A3+ media with a six-colour ink system. It also prints directly on CD/DVD media and PVC cards. The DCP-T536DW is an A4 multifunction model offering printing, flatbed scanning and copying. It provides automatic duplex instead of manual two-sided printing and reaches ISO speeds of 16 ppm in black and 9 ppm in colour, compared with 8 ppm for both on the L18050. Its input capacity is also higher at 150 sheets versus 100, and its compatibility extends to Linux, Chrome OS, AirPrint and Mopria.
The L18050 suits users prioritising larger photo output, broader colour gradation and specialist printable media. The DCP-T536DW benefits users who need faster document handling, scanning, copying and automatic two-sided printing in one device.
The L18050 focuses on six-colour photo printing up to A3+ and supports direct printing on discs and PVC cards, but it is print-only. The DCP-T536DW is an A4 multifunction printer with scanning and copying, automatic duplex, faster ISO speeds and a 150-sheet input capacity.
Based on current prices, DCP-T536DW Ink Tank Printer is the cheaper option and the better value. It costs 140 USD versus 515 USD for EcoTank L18050 Printer. The price difference is 375 USD, about 72.8% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
Choose the L18050 for large photos or graphics up to A3+, six-colour output, or printing on CD/DVD media and PVC cards. Choose the DCP-T536DW when you need document printing, scanning and copying together, along with faster speeds and automatic two-sided printing.
Both are colour inkjet printers using piezoelectric print-head technology. They support Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, borderless printing, Windows and macOS. Neither model includes Ethernet connectivity or automatic duplex scanning.
The DCP-T536DW is faster at 16 ISO ppm in black and 9 ISO ppm in colour, compared with 8 ISO ppm for both black and colour on the L18050. It also provides a 150-sheet input tray and automatic duplex, while the L18050 holds 100 sheets and uses manual two-sided printing.
