The InkTank DCP-T930W is the best overall because of its broader functions, faster performance, wider connectivity and greater paper capacity. The EcoTank L8050 remains the more suitable choice for six-colour photo output or disc and PVC card printing.
Both the Epson EcoTank L8050 Printer and Brother DCP-T930W Ink Tank Printer use piezoelectric inkjet technology, print up to A4, and support borderless output, USB, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct. Both also work with Windows and macOS and provide mobile printing services.
The main distinction is that the L8050 is a print-only photo model using a six-ink system, while the DCP-T930W is a multifunction device with printing, scanning, copying and faxing, plus a flatbed scanner and 20-sheet ADF. Brother is also substantially faster, delivering ISO speeds of 17 ppm in black and 16.5 ppm in colour, compared with 8 ppm for both on Epson. It adds automatic duplex, Ethernet, a colour LCD and a 230-sheet input capacity versus 100 sheets. Epson instead supports media up to 300 g, prints directly on discs and PVC cards, and is lighter and more compact.
The L8050 suits users focused on photos and specialised printable media. The DCP-T930W better serves users who need document handling, copying, scanning, faxing, higher speeds and broader network connectivity.
The EcoTank L8050 is a print-only photo printer with six inks, disc and PVC card printing, and support for media up to 300 g. The InkTank DCP-T930W adds scanning, copying, faxing, an ADF, automatic duplex, Ethernet, a colour LCD and greater paper input capacity.
Based on current prices, DCP-T930W Ink Tank Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 265 USD versus 290 USD for EcoTank L8050 Printer. The price difference is 25 USD, about 8.6% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
Choose the EcoTank L8050 when six-colour photo output or direct printing on discs and PVC cards is the priority. Choose the InkTank DCP-T930W for document workflows requiring scanning, copying, faxing, automatic document feeding and automatic two-sided printing.
Both are inkjet printers with piezoelectric print-head technology, A4 support and borderless printing. They also provide USB, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, direct USB printing, Windows and macOS compatibility, and mobile printing applications or services.
The InkTank DCP-T930W is faster based on the provided ISO figures, reaching 17 ppm in black and 16.5 ppm in colour. The EcoTank L8050 is rated at 8 ppm for both. Brother also lists maximum speeds of 30 ppm in black and 26 ppm in colour, compared with 22 ppm for both on Epson.
