That’s more than 10,000 pages in total – which even at £200 works out at a competitive price of just 2p per page, and effectively means that you’re getting the printer itself thrown in for free. That’s because the price of the ET-2710 includes four bottles of ink – one each for cyan, magenta, yellow and black – which Epson claims will provide you with 3,500 pages of black text documents, and 6,500 pages in colour. However, the ET-2710 will be really attractive for people who work at home or need a printer that they can use every day in a small office. It’s RRP is £229 but you can get it for £179 from Epson. Price #Īs we mentioned, the disadvantage of the EcoTank printers is their higher initial cost, and the ET-2710 is actually one of the first EcoTank models to sneak in just below £200. This design is also more eco-friendly, as it reduces the amount of non-recyclable plastics and other waste produced by the printer. The large ink tanks can hold a lot more ink than ordinary cartridges, which allows the printers to drastically reduce the cost-per-page when printing your documents. Instead of using expensive ink cartridges, the EcoTank printers have a large ink tank built into them, which can easily be filled using simple, low-cost bottles of ink.

The initial purchase price of an EcoTank printers is relatively high, but they come up trumps in the long term thanks to their much lower running costs. Epson came up with a completely new approach a couple of years ago when it introduced its first EcoTank printers.
