The cost of printer ink can be quite expensive, especially if you use a conventional home printer for business and personal use.
You can save on long term costs of your printer by choosing the right printer for your needs.
Each Epson EcoTank printer comes with two years’ worth of ink, which is equivalent to 284 standard ink cartridges (which normally cost around $4,900). The initial supply of ink should last roughly 14,000 black pages or 11,200 colour copies.
Once this has been used, replacement ink starts from $14.99, working out at a cost of less than half a cent a page. Compared to standard inkjet printers where it works out to be around seven to eight cents per page (according to PC World), the savings are considerable.
Epson EcoTank and other refillable ink printers are designed to save you money. Just comparing the upfront costs of a black Epson ink bottle with an equivalent cartridge from other leading providers, the refillable option comes out cheaper every time.
Refillable ink bottles for EcoTanks also last quite a while, so there is no need to consider the ongoing cost of replacement.
