The ECO tank technology of this printer should become the standard for inkjet printers for environmental reasons !!!!!!!!!
The ink tanks eliminate the need for numerous cartridge changes, which would result in a lot of plastic, unusable residual ink and possibly even electronic waste.
If MAN/WOMAN only uses the printer a little, ecology is the decisive argument in favour of this printer, this printer line.
Only when a lot or very much is printed does the purely economic aspect become a purchase argument. After a short period of use, it is not yet possible for me to estimate the print volume at which the breakeven point is reached. This is because I do not have any long-term experience of the durability/use of the printer.
I haven't found a simple way to integrate the printer into a WIFI home network, but that may be due to my old age (60 years). I miss the fact that there is no built-in SD card reader, which I can use to print photos directly or save the scans to an SD card independently of the computer (personal comparison of brands/models with built-in multiCard reader and USB PicBridge connection).
I chose this printer from Epson's ECO-Tank line for ecological reasons and because I hate having to buy new cartridges every few weeks/months.

The printer takes an amazing 15 minutes to scan 2 pages. It whistles when printing. The operation is enormously tedious, the setup works after contacting the almost non-existent manual 10 times.
I will return the printer.

Printing and scanning is blurred. The colours are dull. Nowhere near the quality of the other four Epson printers we've had. Ink costs are lower, but with normal printing and normal printer paper the performance is disappointing. With expensive paper and the "Photoenhance" setting, the print has more colour and is clearer.
I have not tried the fax.
