Epson has taken the sales of large, continuous ink tank printers “to the moon”, having achieved a cumulative CISS sales of 60 million units as of June 2021. Epson is officially the number one ink tank printer vendor worldwide and has a 62% global market share of large ink tank printers. A handy 45% lead over the competitors.
To celebrate these milestones the company has released its next generation in its EcoTank range for the Home and Home Office. Critically, all the new models uses replacement ink bottles that provide thousands more printed pages start at just $14.99 and all models come with the new, intuitive and clever Epson Smart Panel app. There is nary an ink cartridge in sight.
The new EcoTank Home printers launch today (with the Home Office models to follow shortly) and consist of the new ET-1810, ET-2810, ET-2820 and ET-2850 models. These new models are specifically targeted and priced at entry level and budget conscious homes, are ideal for families and in particular home schooling. They also include WiFi for easy connectivity.
To say recent times have been challenging would be another great understatement. That said, one thing that’s become apparent is how home has become the “everything” place as many have adapted to hybrid work and school environments and having a reliable printer that can meet those new demands has become an absolute necessity.
From printing important presentations to endless school assignments and entertainment, families are increasingly dependent on performance printing technology to streamline workflows and stay productive. Epson’s new EcoTank range uses innovative, heat-free, cartridge-free printing technology which delivers value and convenience for the ideal home printing experience.
The new EcoTank all-in-one printers offer cartridge-free printing with high-capacity, easily refillable ink tanks for zero ink cartridge waste. Users can save up to 90 percent with replacement ink bottles versus traditional ink cartridges and each “low-cost” replacement ink set for the new EcoTank printers is equivalent to about 145 individual ink cartridges – and enough ink to literally print many thousands more pages.
The new EcoTank Home printers include thousands of pages worth of ink straight out of the box and with every replacement ink set for fewer out of ink frustrations, all new models utilise EcoFit ink bottles for easy, mess-free and worry-free filling.
