Epson EcoTank L6468 Printer vs Epson EcoTank L1800 Printer — choose by the use case in the table (role/paper, document features, connectivity, speed).
When to pick which:
Pick Epson EcoTank L6468 Printer if you need: fax or a fuller print/scan/copy set in the table, network / wireless printing (including 5 GHz when present), automatic duplex.
Pick Epson EcoTank L1800 Printer if you need: faster 10×15 cm photos (lower seconds).
10×15 cm photos: EcoTank L1800 about 45 seconds and EcoTank L6468 about 69 seconds in published figures (~24 second gap). That edge is conditional on matching quality mode, bordered printing, and test conditions — paper type alone is not enough.
Key differences:
Based on the specs table, Epson EcoTank L6468 Printer fits most office needs better thanks to: Printer Functions: Print, Scan, Copy, Fax vs Print; Interfaces: USB, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet vs USB; Printer Category: A4 color business multifunction ink tank printer vs Home and photo printer.
Maximum dpi and ink bottle series numbers alone do not settle the buy.

Not by themselves. Dpi alone does not prove higher quality, and bottle series is a consumables difference. Decide by role, duplex/ADF, speed, connectivity, and price.
