Epson EcoTank L3266 and Brother DCP-T536DW are A4 ink-tank 3-in-1s with Wi-Fi. The buy is not a marketing category or Micro Piezo versus Piezo. It is a compact colour-screen first-fill versus automatic two-sided documents and a wider tray without an ADF.
Choose L3266 for a tight desk: about 4.1 kg, a 100-sheet tray, and a 3.7 cm colour screen. Duplex is manual; official ISO speed is 10/5. Inbox ink is about 8,100 black and 6,500 colour; replacement 103 bottles drop black to about 4,500 and rise to about 7,500 per colour. Borderless is up to 10×15 cm. Paper sizes include A4, Letter, Legal, photos, and envelopes—not A4 only.
Choose DCP-T536DW when two-sided pages are weekly work: automatic duplex on plain A4, a 150-sheet tray, and ISO 16/9. The 27/11 figures are draft, not ISO. No ADF (that feeder starts at T730/T830). Weight is 7.2 kg in Brother’s ASE, with a one-line LCD. Inbox and replacement BTD100 match: 7,500 black and 5,000 colour. Borderless goes to A4. Print resolution is up to 1200×6000 on Windows; 19200 scan is interpolated, not optical.
Card prices are currently $155 versus $140; the $15 gap alone does not decide it, and both are out of stock. For space, screen, and first-fill: L3266. For frequent duplex and the larger tray: T536DW, if either returns.
Both are A4 four-colour 3-in-1s with USB, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct. Both scan from a CIS glass; DCP-T536DW has no ADF (the feeder starts at T730/T830). Printer category and Micro Piezo versus Piezo are not buying differences.
DCP-T536DW is the clearer fit: automatic duplex on plain A4, a 150-sheet tray versus 100 on L3266, and official ISO 16/9 versus 10/5. L3266 needs a manual flip. T536DW has no ADF, so multi-page scanning stays on the glass for both.
Based on current prices, DCP-T536DW Ink Tank Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 140 USD versus 155 USD for EcoTank L3266 Printer. The price difference is 15 USD, about 9.7% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
No. T536DW is a CIS flatbed with no ADF. The automatic feeder appears on the T730/T830 series, not this model. Multi-page copy or scan jobs still go page by page on the glass.
Do not compare them directly. 27/11 on T536DW is draft, not ISO. The shared official yardstick is ISO: 16/9 versus 10/5.
No. This is page-yield, not cost per page, because bottle prices are not aligned in the table. L3266 inbox is about 8,100/6,500; replacement 103 drops black to about 4,500 and rises to about 7,500 per colour. T536DW inbox and BTD100 match: 7,500 black and 5,000 colour.
Not in that way. An older table row shortened L3266 to A4 only, but Epson also lists Letter, Legal, A5, A6, B5, photo sizes, and envelopes. T536DW also covers a wide set. The practical paper gap is the 150- versus 100-sheet tray and automatic duplex.
No. L3266 is borderless only up to 10×15 cm. T536DW can go borderless up to A4.
No. L3266 is unavailable (stock 0) and DCP-T536DW is also unavailable (stock 0), even though the cards show $155 and $140. Use the comparison for when one returns.
