Two wide-format printers, two very different jobs. The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7840 is a certified refurbished all-in-one for daily office output; the HP DesignJet T210 is a new open-box 24-inch plotter for oversized prints. Choosing between them comes down to whether you need one machine for everything or a dedicated tool for big media.
Quick Verdict
If your day revolves around everyday printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7840 is the practical all-in-one at $149.99. If your work depends on true 24-inch large-format output, the HP DesignJet T210 is the dedicated plotter at $574.99-$425 higher than the Epson, but it is the one that handles roll-fed wide media.

Where Each Product Wins
The Epson wins for everyday office productivity. It is a complete all-in-one with two-sided printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, plus a 50-sheet rear tray and a 500-sheet main paper capacity. The duplex speeds are 16 ISO ppm black and 9 ISO ppm color. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen and wireless connectivity make it easy to share across a team. At $149.99, it is also the more accessible entry point for wide-format printing.
The HP wins for dedicated large-format output. The 24-inch DesignJet T210 accepts roll paper and sheet-fed media, so it is suited to architectural drawings, banners, and other oversized work. Its thermal inkjet technology and touchscreen interface keep the process straightforward, and the unit measures 39.9 x 17.3 x 11.2 inches.
Product Notes
Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7840 - Certified Refurbished
The WorkForce Pro WF-7840 is the office-friendly choice because it combines wide-format printing with copy, scan, and fax functions in one machine. It prints up to 13 x 19 inches, automatically duplexes, and can hold 50 sheets in the rear tray plus up to 500 sheets in the main paper supply. That capacity, along with USB and wireless connectivity and a 4.3-inch color touchscreen, makes it easy to share across a team. The certified refurbished condition keeps the list price down to $149.99, which is the more accessible starting point.
The trade-off is the format size. At 13 x 19 inches, the Epson cannot produce 24-inch-wide roll output like the HP DesignJet T210. It is also a certified refurbished unit, so the lower price comes with a pre-owned condition. Choose it when you need one versatile machine for daily paperwork and the occasional oversized print.
HP DesignJet T210 - New Open Box
The DesignJet T210 is the more specialized tool. It prints on 24-inch-wide roll media or sheets, which opens the door to large-format plots that the Epson cannot handle. The touchscreen interface, roll paper support, and thermal inkjet print technology are all included, and the unit measures 39.9 x 17.3 x 11.2 inches.
The open-box condition means the box was opened to verify contents, so the unit is not sealed retail packaging. At $574.99, it also carries a $425 higher list price than the Epson, and it connects over Ethernet, so your setup should have a wired drop nearby. Pick the DesignJet when large-format output is the main job and you want a dedicated plotter rather than an all-in-one office printer.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Need a daily office workhorse with copying, scanning, faxing, and two-sided printing? Choose the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7840. Its 13 x 19-inch wide-format output, 500-sheet capacity, and $149.99 list price make it the practical all-in-one.
- Need true 24-inch large-format prints from roll paper or sheets? Choose the HP DesignJet T210. The $574.99 open-box plotter is built for oversized output with roll support and a touchscreen, and it costs $425 more if your projects demand that width.
