    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    wow you said these are residential and a low end of the eco tanks however Costco has the ET-2760 with the feeder and can print double sided, wifi etc. for $250 hmmmm!!! I am looking to convert from HP cuz im tired of spending outrageous amount of money on HP cartridges. I pay for at least 2-3 black cartridges a yr and 2 color cartridges a yr. . Considering that I teach from home, I have to spend my own money to replace ink at home. I am considering the Epson.

    • @dougharlow6037
      @dougharlow6037 Před 3 lety +2

      I agree, it seems like the manufactures of these printers build them to only last a few years. Their sales must be hurting and since they have been way over charging for ink, now figured out they can discount the ink (and still make a profit on ink) to sell printers, a Loss Leader. The problem I see is that the ink will outlast the printer. I have a perfectly excellent HP printer, very low use, but can’t find my OEM install disc to get the drivers, after Dell crashed my PC. Now I have a door stop.

    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?

      They can print 8.5x11 and you can cut it down to 8x10 by hand, or print borderless 4x6 etc but it won't do bordlerless 8.5x11. HOWEVER for a compromise design, glossy photo prints aren't bad - they're just marred by the little roller marks all down the paper. For matte paper of heavier weight it actually holds it's own given how cheap the prints are. I just bought the epson 8850 and it has the 6 tank claria system and 13x19's look surprisingly good. It is marketed as 'lab quality print' on the box and it's a game changer for those of us sick of the refilling cartridge game.

It's just my ink cartridges are expensive. It uses 5 colors plus 1 black that I change almostg twice a year and go through about 1.5 reems a year, where as with the new Ecos I can probably go almost 5-7 years before replacing the ink.
