Epson EcoTank ET-8550

How many pages do you print in a month?

Toner cartridges for colour laser printers are extremely expensive while ink bottles for tank printers like the Epson Ecotank ET-5800 are extremely inexpensive.

The media could not be loaded. I am rapidly falling in love with this printer. It says it is a photo printer, and I have been having to remind myself, printers are tools not toys, because the photos coming out of this printer, even on regular everyday paper, are fantastic. That being said... This pr...

Because of this I was looking into high quality inkjets that don’t have crazy ink prices (I had a canon before and I have to sell it because I can’t afford to keep buying ink every 10 pages).
