Think desktop inkjet printers and you’re probably thinking Epson and Canon. These two companies are the clear leaders in the field for performance and all-round quality. As with other manufacturers, however, the price of ink cartridges has been all but universally criticized over the years, so Epson EcoTank and Canon MegaTank printers are in the ascendancy. This type of printer is typically more expensive to buy but bottled ink refills work out massively cheaper in the long run.
This Epson EcoTank printer is a cost-effective, bottle-fed, multi-function printer that claims to save you up to 95 per cent in ink costs, with up to three years’ worth of ink supplied in a set of full-sized bottles in the retail pack. The setup procedure consumes a little of this but you should still have enough ink left over for 6,600 mono pages and 5,500 color document pages. That should keep you going for ages and when you do need replacement bottles, they’ll be good for 8,500 mono pages and 6,500 color pages. It’s a whole different world to using cartridges and the Epson aims to be one of the best all-in-one printers for the home office and hybrid working.
