Now available: "EcoTank" multifunction printers from Epson with ink refill tanks
3.9.2025
Translation: machine translated
The "EcoTank" printers are suitable for frequent printers: they can be operated more cost-effectively than conventional inkjet printers.
You can now buy multifunctional devices from the new «EcoTank» generation of inkjet printers from Epson from us. Compared to the previous models (with an 8 instead of 9 in the name), they offer better values in terms of print speed and ink yield, among other things. In addition to USB, all three new devices also have WLAN. The print quality is also the same. You can find out how the printers differ in detail below.
«EcoTank» printers are inexpensive to operate
«EcoTank» printers use refillable tanks instead of conventional ink cartridges. Printers with refillable tanks are a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative because they do not require the electronics in replaceable cartridges. According to Epson, the ink included in the scope of delivery lasts up to three years for 100 A4 prints per month.
The devices are therefore not aimed at people who print out a return slip every few months. They are intended more for people in home offices or smaller companies where a lot of printing is done. According to Epson, «EcoTank» printers should save you up to 95 per cent of the printing costs of a conventional inkjet printer. However, the purchase costs are higher. Refill bottles are available in our shop. You can also replace the printer's waste ink tank: Replacement tanks are available from us at.
«EcoTank ET-4950»
The model with the widest range of functions is the «EcoTank ET-4950». It is a 4-in-1 device: it can print, copy, scan and fax on both sides. The device outputs up to 18 pages in black and white and nine in colour per minute when measured according to the international comparison standard ISO/IEC 24734.
The model is available in black or white. Don't worry, the different name of the white model only indicates the colour variant.
The print resolution is 4800 × 1200 dpi. According to the manufacturer's promise, you can print borderless photos. The printer has an automatic document feeder for up to 30 pages, which makes scanning and copying easier - even double-sided. The printer is designed for a total service life of 100,000 pages.
In addition to Wi-Fi, you can also connect the printer to your network via Ethernet. The front paper tray has space for 250 sheets. You can operate the device via the touchscreen with a diagonal of 6.1 centimetres. There are indicators on the front that show the ink level.
«EcoTank ET-3950»
This device is almost identical to its bigger brother: however, it cannot fax and instead of a touchscreen, you use conventional buttons for operation. A white version will be available at the end of the year.
«EcoTank ET-2950»
The «EcoTank ET-2950» is also capable of scanning and double-sided printing. You will have to do without the fax function, automatic document feeder and Ethernet connection. The touch display is slightly smaller at 3.7 centimetres diagonally. The lifespan is around 50,000 pages. Epson saves a little on the black ink included in the scope of delivery: only 6600 pages are included here.
This model is available in black or white.
