It’s called Ecotank the new range of printers and multifunction refill inks currently composed of three models. Printing costs insignificant for large volume, with interesting initial promotion. Epson has surprised everyone by presenting its first range of printer’s refill Ecotank. It is, for the moment of three models :
- Epson L300 InkJet Printer Ink Tank System
- Epson L355 All in One WIFI Printer
- Epson L555 multifunction printer with fax and ADF
All share the salient feature, namely using special water-based inks that are packed in can semitransparent ” hanging ” off the printer. When the ink is low, just open the tanks and fill them with the appropriate ink bottles from 70 ml.
The operation is very simple and advantages, as you can easily guess, are essentially two: saving and durability. As for savings, the 4 bottles of ink (it is in all cases of four-color printers) cost about $35 and allow the printer, with a full load b/w 4,000 pages, color 6,500 pages. Estimates from Epson, it’s average savings of 65% compared to the 10 most competitive products currently sold.
As for the duration, just a few divisions: printing colour 270 pages and 165 pages b / w per month, which is certainly a good volume for a home user and the small office, a charge of ink would last about 2 years.
Other salient features: printing 9ppm in b/w and color 4,5ppm, integrated Wi-Fi on the two multi-function for direct printing from smartphone, scanner 1200 dpi.
Epson has made ” official ” what many of its users are already unofficially, with the considerable advantage of the convenience made possible by a tool designed specifically for this purpose. It is the product warranty is not invalidated …
The turning point is also stressed by commercial agreements signed with chains and Ecostore Prink, competitors so far: three models of printers Ecotank you will be able to buy only one of their stores. At first sight surprising, but it is certainly the best sales channel: who better to Ecostore Prink and is in contact with potential customers of these products and can explain the benefits?
