⚖️ Expert Verdict

Epson’s XP-4200 is a 'Small-in-One' that respects your desk space and your paper budget better than the Canon TS3350. The Epson uses four individual ink cartridges, meaning you only replace the color that’s actually empty—unlike the Canon’s wasteful tri-color cartridge. The Epson also offers automatic double-sided printing. Even though both are budget-tier, the Epson XP-4200 is the clear economic winner. It saves you money on ink, saves you money on paper, and doesn't feel like it’s going to fall apart if you look at it too hard.

What Owners Are Saying?

Canon PIXMA TS3350

Molly
"Cheap as chips at Curry's for my uni work. Does the job for basic essays."

Edward
"The ink cost is a proper joke. Spent more on cartridges than the printer in two months. Avoid if you print more than once a week—not frugal at all."

Theodore
"Wi-Fi setup was a right faff on my Mac."

Epson Expression Home XP-4200

UniStudent99
"Perfect size for my halls. Individual inks are a proper win because I only ever seem to run out of magenta. Prints my essays fast enough, though it sounds a bit like a small aircraft taking off when it starts up."

Sarah P.
"Sorted."
