Epson EcoTank ET-2750 Review

The Epson EcoTank ET-2750 will cost you more than a cheap entry level printer, however the idea is that it will save you money in the long run thanks to low running costs. It is no secret that printer companies make money by selling you a cheap printer only to force you into purchasing expensive replacement cartridges for years to come. This is the problem Epson’s EcoTank steps in to solve. These models are designed to be filled up with low cost bottles that are simply poured into the tank, setting you up for not hundreds but thousands of prints.

Whether this approach makes sense for you depends on how often you print. It might not be worth it if you dash off a couple of prints each month, on the other hand, if you are working at home now or perhaps you have children printing endless school projects then maybe this solution will save you money in the long term.

In this article we took a look at what else the Epson EcoTank ET-2750 has to offer a potential buyer.

Functionality

The Epson EcoTank ET-2750 has a large outlay but hopefully saves you money over its lifetime, aside from this key selling point, it has a lot more to offer. For one, it is a very flexible device that will run with both the core Apple and Windows ecosystems, and also with phones, tablets or even direct from the SD card taken from your camera.

It can print to plain paper and high quality gloss photo paper if needed, making it ideal for typical home applications such as printing off an essay for school or outputting a PDF for work. This model has automatic duplex printing, meaning you can save yourself money by printing to both sides of your paper. One thing to note, there is not automatic document feeder present. Bear this in mind if you have the need to photocopy or scan large amounts of pages. Manually scanning low volumes is simple enough however.

Print Quality

The Epson is fast. It can produce plain text documents, or mixed media prints at very respectable timescales for a home printer. This is reassuring given that this isn’t a cheap entry level model. I’d want it to have good performace for this price regardless of any potential to save money on ink.

A high quality photo print to glossy A4 is still going to take some time, almost 5 minutes, however there are faster modes to be used when you have less time and don’t need the same level of quality. Printing to a plain A4 page will take around a minute. 20 pages of black and white text only will take about two and half minutes.

Print quality is generally good. As you might predict, for best results you need to crank up the settings and use decent paper but day to day text printing is good.
