Top 10 Best Ecotank Supertank Printers

Ecotank printers now offer greater comfort when it comes to printing services. Basically, this type of printer replaced the old ink-filled cartridge. It was painstaking to change cartridges every now and then, especially since hands can get mudded by ink, which by the way, is hard to wash off. With eco tanks, printers are now installed with ink tanks where you can continuously pour ink, saving you time and money since cartridges are expensive.

In this post, we will round up some of the best ecotank supertan printers from Epson, along with their pros and cons.

You will find the top four ecotank printers from Epson. The brand has found a large following through the years because of the wide range of printer models that they have released, including laser printers, inkjet, and now, ecotanks. Here are some of the best ecotank supertank printers from Epson.

Epson Workforce Pro ET-8700

This one is perfect for busy offices as it offers 24 pages a minute with a three-level paper tray capacity of 830 sheets. The C1 tray can accommodate 250pages of paper, the back tray is filled with 50 sheets, and the support tray can be filled with up to 500 sheets.

Resolution is A-grade at 1200 dpi, offering crisp and vivid printouts for document printing, scanning, and photocopying. It comes in multi-colored and automatic duplex printing (of up to 50 pages) set in its 4.2inches touch screen. You can print through USB or through wireless connectivity.

Instead of tanks, ink drawers are installed where ink bags are loaded. At the normal rate of 24 pages a minute, the pre-installed bags will last for over one and a half years. An accompanying refill set is also a part of the package. This one is an easy 4.8 out of 5.
