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.

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...

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...

nightmare trying to set up wireless connnection

" Going through a nightmare with this thing right now trying to set up a wireless connection. The printer has no screen. It is real basic. I want to like it, but my experience so far is horrible. Still working on it. Hope I don't have to return it. "

Goodbye ink cartridges

" I've had my printer for two weeks. It works as advertised. The setup is a bit trickier than most other printers because you have to fill the ink wells but that's probably why you're looking at this printer in the first place. The process is a bit...
