Neither Epson Artisan 1430 nor Epson SureColor P800 were recommended by experts this month

On 4 Mar 2024 (25 days ago) we went through 71 Printer expert endorsements , however neither Epson Artisan 1430 nor Epson SureColor P800 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Printer received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 or other critically acclaimed Inkjet Printers of this month.

For reference, Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 received 3 endorsements this month, from Rtings.com (29 Feb 2024), PCMag (2 Mar 2024) and PC Guide (5 Jan 2024).

Side by Side

Which one is better?

Comparison summary:
Advantages of Epson Artisan 1430:
  • It is a somewhat quieter.
  • It can produce higher quality black prints
  • It can produce higher quality color prints
Advantages of Epson SureColor P800:
  • Epson SureColor P800 has an LCD status display, but Epson Artisan 1430 does not.
Alright, now let's go into details.
4 differences we consider important:
  • Epson SureColor P800 has an LCD status display, but Epson Artisan 1430 does not.
    LCD status displays are very useful. Your printer can tell you if ink is low or paper is jammed.
  • Epson Artisan 1430 is a somewhat quieter.
    When printing, Epson SureColor P800 has a loudness of 50 dB (decibels), while Epson Artisan 1430 measures at 43 dB.
    How loud is that? We made a decibel chart for you to reference.
  • Epson Artisan 1430 can produce higher quality black prints (5760 x 1440 vs 2880 x 1440 DPI)
    The black print DPI of Epson Artisan 1430 is 5760 x 1440. Epson SureColor P800 has the DPI of 2880 x 1440. What is DPI? In short: number of dots a printer "draws" per inch. Higher DPI means higher quality print. It's not the easiest thing to understand, so if print quality is very important to you, we suggest reading an article on DPI.
    • 600 x 600 is more than enough DPI to print any kind of documents.
    • Higher DPI takes more ink to print, draining your cartridge/toner faster.
    • Whenever you see 'DPI', it's actually referring to the 'maximum DPI'. Your printer will often choose to lower the DPI where necessary to conserve ink.
  • Epson Artisan 1430 can produce higher quality color prints (5760 x 1440 vs 2880 x 1440 DPI)
    The color print DPI of Epson Artisan 1430 is 5760 x 1440. Epson SureColor P800 has the DPI of 2880 x 1440.
    • Unless you are a professional photographer, 1200 x 600 DPI will be fine for printing photos.
6 similarities we think are important to mention:
  • Both printers can print over Wi-Fi
    Printing over Wi-Fi is a very common feature, available even in most budget models.
  • Both printers can print from mobile
    In most cases, if a printer supports wireless printing, it also supports Wi-Fi printing.
  • Neither printer supports two-sided printing
    Automatic duplex printing (also known as two-sided printing) refers to a printer's ability to print on both sides of the paper, without having to manually flip it.
  • Neither printer supports has a scanner or a copier
    Scan and copy technology have a large hardware overlap. If a printer supports scanning, it will likely support copying.
  • Both printers print at about the same speed in black & white (2.8 PPM)
    In black-and-white, Epson Artisan 1430 prints at 2.8 pages per minute (PPM). Epson SureColor P800 measures at 3 PPM.
    Epson Artisan 1430 would take about 35:43 to print 100 pages, Epson SureColor P800 would take 33:20.
  • Both printers print at about the same speed in color (2.8 PPM)
    In color, Epson Artisan 1430 prints at 2.8 pages per minute (PPM). Epson SureColor P800 measures at 3 PPM.
    Epson Artisan 1430 would take about 35:43 to print 100 pages, Epson SureColor P800 would take 33:20.

scanner Scan, Fax, and Photocopy

The four main functions of printers are: printing, scanning, photocopying, and faxing. Either your device will be print only, print/scan/copy, or an all-in-one printer that does printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Note that scanning and copying almost always come together, since the hardware for these features overlaps significantly. Generally speaking, all-in-one printers are larger, so those with space constraints may find this to be an inconvenience. Additionally, printers with a fax feature are typically more expensive. It would be wise to only consider this feature if you plan to fax often. If not, you’ll be satisfied with a print/scan/copy device.

wifi_tethering Connectivity

Network printers can be wired or wireless. A printer with a wired network connection uses an Ethernet cord that connects directly to your router. A wireless printer connects to your home or office Wi-Fi network. Any computer also connected to your network can use your printer, whether it’s wired or wireless. You will have to install software, or printer drivers, on the computer before you can print. Also, there is a setup process for the printer to get it on the network. If your printer is not wireless, you’ll need to connect it directly to your computer via USB cable, which is not ideal if you have multiple users that need the printer simultaneously.

Outside of Wi-Fi, there are a number of ways a device can connect to a printer. If the printer is not wireless, you’ll have to connect to your printer via USB cable. Some people prefer using the wired connection because it allows for faster data transfers and quicker printing. Depending on the speed of your Wi-Fi and how strong the signal is, it can take time for the document to send from computer to printer over the network. Using a wired connection eliminates this issue. Other connections you may have are: Ethernet for wired connection to your network; Airprint or Google Cloud Print for quick direct printing over the cloud/internet; USB hard drive or memory card to print directly from storage devices; or PictBridge to print directly from cameras.
