The buy is not a marketing “printer category” line, nor Micro Piezo versus Piezo. The question: is a compact 4.1 kg A4 Wi-Fi 3-in-1 at ISO 10/5 enough, or do you need a 20-sheet ADF and automatic duplex as on the Brother DCP-T730DW?
Choose the Epson EcoTank L3266 for a tight desk and single-sheet work: a few pages a day, borderless 10×15 cm photos, and a 3.7 cm colour screen clearer than Brother’s one-line LCD. Inbox ink of 8,100 black and 6,500 colour matches that pace. You give up automatic duplex and batch scanning without placing each sheet on the glass; Epson’s spec lists print/scan/copy and does not list an ADF or fax.
Choose the Brother DCP-T730DW to copy or scan contracts in stacks. The 20-sheet ADF skips the glass-by-glass wait, and auto duplex runs on A4/Letter/A5 plain or recycled paper. ISO 16/15.5 is the more useful document speed, the tray holds 150 sheets, and official weight is 8.6 kg. Inbox black 15,000 pages is a first fill; replacement BTD100BK is about 7,500 and BTD100 colour about 5,000. Print resolution 1200×6000 on this model is not Windows-only; scan 19200×19200 is interpolated, not optical.
Both are 3-in-1 with no fax, and both use Wi-Fi plus Wi-Fi Direct with no Ethernet. The Middle East T730 is 2.4 GHz; neither side has a cited 5 GHz radio. Both are out of stock, so this is about capability when they return.
If multi-page scan/copy or automatic duplex is part of the week, pick the T730. If you want the lighter desk unit with a clearer screen and glass-only use, the L3266 is enough.
Both are four-colour dye tanks, 3-in-1 with no fax in the cited sources, and USB plus Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct with no Ethernet. Do not treat Micro Piezo versus Piezo or CIS versus flatbed as a primary buy axis.
If the work is stacks of contracts or invoices that need sequential scan or copy, the DCP-T730DW fits better: 20-sheet ADF, auto duplex on plain paper, and ISO 16/15.5. For a tight home desk and single-sheet A4 jobs, the L3266 is lighter at 4.1 kg, runs ISO 10/5, and has the clearer colour screen.
Based on current prices, EcoTank L3266 Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 155 USD versus 210 USD for DCP-T730DW Ink Tank Printer. The price difference is 55 USD, about 26.2% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
The T730 has a 20-sheet ADF and automatic duplex on A4/Letter/A5 plain or recycled paper. Epson’s L3266 spec lists print, scan and copy with manual duplex and does not list an ADF capacity or fax. An empty table cell is not a hard “no”, but a buyer should treat it as a glass-only scanner in practice.
The table’s 15,000 black and 5,000 colour pages are the first fill in the box. Replacement BTD100BK is about 7,500 black pages and BTD100 colour about 5,000. Do not use the inbox black figure as the ongoing running cost. On the L3266, inbox is 8,100/6,500 and Epson 103 replacements are about 4,500 black and 7,500 per colour.
In the specification guide, 1200×6000 on the DCP-T730DW is not tagged Windows-only (that limit is on the T530 family). Scan 19200×19200 is interpolated, not optical; optical is 1200×2400 from glass and up to 1200×600 from the ADF. A higher dpi number alone does not prove better output.
No. The store cards show both as unavailable, and stock is 0 for the L3266 and the DCP-T730DW. This comparison is about capability when stock returns, not an immediate purchase on the site.
Neither has a cited 5 GHz radio on this page. Middle East T730 units are IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) plus Wi-Fi Direct. The L3266 is listed with USB, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct and no documented 5 GHz band. Do not assume dual-band.
