Epson EcoTank L6468 Printer vs Epson Expression EcoTank 2550 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 Expression EcoTank 2550 Printer if you need: higher ink yield, faster 10×15 cm photos (lower seconds).
10×15 cm photos: Expression EcoTank 2550 about 27 seconds and EcoTank L6468 about 69 seconds in published figures (~42 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, Scan, Copy; Interfaces: USB, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet vs Hi-Speed USB, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct; Duplex Printing: Automatic vs Manual.
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.
