Epson Ecotank ET-2500 review

If you print a lot, it can be costly with traditional inkjet printers that have small, expensive cartridges. Epson's Ecotank range caters to those that don't mind a higher upfront cost in order to get lower running costs. But does it add up? Here's our...

If you only need a printer for occasional use at home then you might be better off opting for one of the many conventional inkjet printers that are now on sale for less than £100. But if you need a reliable workhorse printer for daily use at home or in...

Epson EcoTank ET-2550 review: A printer that can go at least 2 years before its first ink refill

Epson kills off its old business model with a printer that eliminates ink cartridges. But do the DIY refills justify the higher price tag?

The Epson EcoTank ET-2550 is a multifunction printer, copier and scanner that can hold enough ink to last two years without a single refill. The subsequent refill bottles are also much cheaper than traditional cartridges, offering potential savings...

The printer costs four to eight times more than cartridge-based models. It has a very minimal display and feature set, lacking an Ethernet port, fax functionality, auto-document feeder and duplexing.

With its ultra-low-cost refillable ink bottles, this clever little Epson EcoTank printer does away with pricey ink cartridges once and for all -- but it will cost you a lot more up front.

Epson Expression ET-2500 EcoTank All-in-One Printer

The bottles have enough ink in them to print about 4,000 pages of black ink and 6,500 pages of color, which is roughly the equivalent of a two-year supply at moderate print volumes.

The printer costs four to eight times more than cartridge-based models. It has a very minimal display and feature set, lacking an Ethernet port, fax functionality, auto-document feeder and duplexing.

This Epson ET-2500 EcoTank printer wants you to pay more now for low-cost refills later

The business model for inkjet printers has traditionally thrown customers into a shopping quandry: is it better to buy a lower priced printer with a single tricolor cartridge and get gouged by the cost of refills as you churn through the reservoirs on...

If you're the kind of consumer with knows you'll be printing on a regular basis, say if you're a student with lots of essay assignments or a small office with lots of printed documents for back up, you could stand to save a lot of money with the...

Too slow and unresponsive

I really could not recommend this printing because it's driving me mad. If you switch it off and then on again when you need to print something you will spend 5-10min for your computer to find and connect to the printer even if its wifi light is green...

Stick with the Devil You Know!

My previous Epson printer was becoming very tired after more than 8 years of feeding pages and after checking around I decided on an eco-tank Epson as the replacement. The 2500 model seems to keep up the good work. It was very simple to install and the...
