Product details

Finally print without cartridges – switch now! EcoTank allows for convenient printing at home. The large-capacity ink tanks enable easy refilling. Since the ink bottles operate on a key-lock principle, only the correct ink can be filled.

Significant cost savings: With this economical printer, you can reduce your ink costs by up to 90%. Included is an additional ink bottle (black) for an ink supply of up to 3 years. One set of ink bottles is sufficient for up to 7,500 pages in black and white and 6,000 pages in color. This corresponds to an impressive number of up to 72 ink cartridges!

Epson Smart Panel app: With this app, you can control your printer from your smart device. You can print, copy, and scan documents and photos, set up and manage the printer, and troubleshoot – all from your phone or tablet.

Fully featured: With a 6.1 cm color touchscreen, automatic double-sided printing, a 30-page document feeder, fax capability, a front paper tray for 250 sheets, and a print speed of up to 15.5 pages per minute, you can accomplish a variety of tasks in no time.

Modern flexibility: Thanks to its compact design and complete connectivity via Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and Ethernet, you can easily integrate this printer into your home or office and print from smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Heat-Free Technology: Due to our forward-looking Micro Piezo Heat-Free Technology, Epson inkjet printers require less maintenance, reducing the number of user interventions. Additionally, you benefit from significantly lower power consumption. The print head is also pre-installed, allowing for easy setup of the printer.
