Saying sayonara to overpriced ink cartridges is a very satisfying feeling, and being able to see the ink levels through clear plastic windows is also comforting. You can keep them topped up with the bottles that come bundled in the box whenever you like...

This bulky and tired form-factor isn't the most practical for a small office as it cannot be stowed easily, nor does it allow papers to be stacked on top. And with the overhanging ink tanks, this is a rather bulbous and awkward machine to accommodate, Eas...

There's no doubt that the EcoTank system is a revelation after years of overpaying for ink cartridges. Refilling the five tanks by hand is almost fun and being able to see the levels means you should never be surprised by a lack of ink again. If Epson's f...

Economy ClassEpson's EcoTank inkjet printers reverse the customary printer/ink strategy. Small and expensive cartridges are replaced by a continuous ink supply from much bigger user-filled tanks, but the initial purchase price of the printer goes up. Apar...

The Epson ET-4500 and its EcoTank siblings are essentially document printers rather than photo printers, although they're capable enough in all departments. Perhaps the key words for the Epson EcoTank printers are “convenience” and “usage”.In many respect...
