I have had an Epson 4750 for well over two years and I use it regularly. So far, we have printed over one and one half a case of standard printer paper. That is about 15 reams or 7500 sheets of paper, and to date, I have not yet had to add ink, I am still on the original ink that came with the machine I have not even opened the extra ink that came with it. I cannot say enough good things about this printer for home, or home office use.

[@Lemondelite]

Really?

[@MrKaido93]

Sounds very promissing. If such is really so. I'm looking at 3 possibilities. For an over all AIO; Print, Copy, Scan and Fax. Ink sustainment is a major factor that is a requirement. Does anyone have any experience, insight or knowledge comparing the Brother InkInvestment as compared to the Epson You Fill the Tank types of AIO's or the excellent HP Envy Photo 7855 AIO? Or any other viable AIO. I'd like to see HP also come out with such a an large tank Ink well type AIO series.

[@daryltanner7747]

My experience after three years is very similar. I have started on the installed spare bottles of ink.

[@bettycapps]

We have had ours for more than three years. We print tons of paper and refilled the ink tanks ONCE. I print recipes, patterns for my hobby, documents, electronic receipts, just everything. We have gone through at least 1-1/2 cases of paper. We’ve never had any issues with this machine. Just wish it had a USB or memory card slot.

[@haajareberle4042]

Which one do you have

[@BestPrinters]

Awesome and thanks for sharing!

[@jeffdofing6411]

Another possible difference to consider: When we change an ink cartridge, we're getting a new print head with it. But with ink refill only, our existing print head just gets older and more used. Print heads can last a long time if periodically cleaned. However, it may be worth checking out how long print heads last and what's the cost of replacing them.

[@Technobby]

These ecotank could save tons of ink in the long run compare to cartridge printer. I'm using it to print with RollPrint software to print roll to roll vinyl unattended. It saves me tons of time

[@relentless5321]

Technobby can you use Ink from eBay to top up with or should I just stick to the Genuine Ink?

[@louisd95714]

I already have a good working printer, the Epson WF-4834 and got it for a ridicously cheap price. i use it mainly for scanning and faxing, and use the ink as little as possible. All I need now is a secondary printer that is very good on ink. It doesn't have to be multifunction either because I already have one. If they could market a an Eco tank stand alone printer, I would jump on it.

[@bentleytran1442]

Thank you! Now I know what model I will buy. I'll go with 3760

[@John_Ridley]

One thing people do not point out is that the ADF on these printers are not duplex. HP ADFs are duplex. I'm still going with epson but it's something to know before buying

[@kaiencross91]

I had printer ecotank model. Its already 2.5yrs and printing about 7000pages. Its doing well until now. Its cost alot at begining but in long term you can save aloot of money and avoid anger over running ink during printing work.

[@BestPrinters]

I am glad you are able to confirm similar results to what Epson advertised.

[@ciannacoleman5125]

I dont do much personal printing but when I have kids I plan on getting one of these since homeschoolers print A TON. Plus I'm a crafter and this would allow me to be more free with my personal printing.

You are welcome! Sorry about the music.

[@springrain777]

[@AussieFords]

Printers lost my continued ink sales years ago. I used to buy bulk ink in bottles and inject my cartridges as the replacement was very expensive. The past few years I've been using a flexible hose kit that runs from outside my printer that I can fill up the cartridge without opening the printer and I can see the levels. Idea's came from China back in 2008. They have been using this type of system for many years now.

[@BestPrinters]

I have heard of this system you are talking about. Too bad it isn't mainstream in the U.S.

[@nathanhuit293]

I think it's called continuous ink system printers. we used then here too in the Philippines

[@marshon2183]

Yup it’s called a Ciss system 💯 Pretty much turns your printer into an ecotank lol

[@lovediys2089]

I purchased an epson 3520 in 2013, I replaced the cartridges with a ciss and it’s still operating like BRAND NEW today👍🏽!

[@dennisonicc]

CISS kits are often not reliable, they give many issues. However I think that printers made for this kind of use out of the box shouldn't have this problem.

[@leonjones7120]

[@vintagechild4418]

I purchased the 4760 and it works well for at home work. Saved money on cartridges, but don’t buy white! I purchased the white,the ink smears when scanning, so then there are black lines on the documents. I replaced 3 times already. I print and scan tons of paper, the feeder works well. Wireless printing works well.

[@betsyh7872]

hi, does this have the "scan to email" option?

[@137bob3d]

my 2550 is 4 years old. and still running fine. 17000 prints total. and 10000 of those in just the last year. expected was for the fine , capillary tubing that carries the 4 colors of ink to the print head to clog up. nope. the one bug-a-boo is its stopped auto feeding in kodak glossy paper to print out color fotos. think the rollers could use a cleaning. but its major surgery to get in there for something like that. regular 500-ream paper feeds no problems at all. and the text and pictures print in focus. like new once i let one of the tanks , the black one, get low and the text words started to fade / lighten. all i did was work a maintainance 'tool' to feed extra ink along the pipeline. that fixed the fade and no problems since. i use toothpicks as 'dipsticks' to check ink levels. once a month or so. once i too had my wallet drained buying those '63' et al ink cartridges. never more. those folks at epson did a bang-up job with these cartridge-less printers.

[@TheTarrMan]

I just bought a Epson ET-2850 because my old Canon MX892 stopped working and I was told to pay $200 for a new print head. I was tired of paying outrageous prices for cartridges anyways so I hope I made the right choice. I only do printing like once a year anyways for taxes.

[@stevel7005]

Both printers have Ethernet interfaces, so just connect everything together via a router.

[@M.Huling]

So from my understanding, you need to buy a brand new Epson Ecotank printer and use only sublimation ink from the very beginning. You don’t want to use the ink that’s provided with the printer if you plan on doing sublimation printing. Secondly you don’t want to buy a HP, or Lenovo because they have a heating element in them to warm the printing ink for you know regular office printing tasks. You want to buy new Epson printers and only use ink specifically made for sublimation from the very beginning. Because if you use sublimation ink on top of regular ink then it will mess everything up and the printer won’t work properly

[@BestPrinters]

Yes to the first question and thank you for sharing!

[@enufots4621]

These are still inkjet printers are they not and subject to clogging, smearing, etc. ? Sounds to me this Eco tank technology only gives you a bigger ink tank so that you don't run out of ink as often. Questions: 1. How much does a refill ink bottle cost as compared to a refill cartridge? 2. I seldom do any printing...for sure I'll be printing my annual taxes though...if i print or scan so infrequently...will the ink in the tanks dried up due to the infrequent use? 3. Am i better off going to a laser printer due to the infrequent usage?
