The Epson EcoTank ET-2861 prints, scans and copies, with refillable ink
tanks, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, a 100-sheet paper tray, borderless photo printing and up to three years of ink included. View Deal Why we recommend it I found the ET-2861 easy to set up and use, and what I particularly like is not having to think about buying cartridges. Instead, you refill its large tanks using bottles, with a front display making it easy to see how much ink remains.

Cartridges for my old HP printer cost 167.50 each although they were cheaper on eBay so a single cartridge costs just 12.49 less than this entire printer with ink included. Epson says one set of bottles can produce up to 4,500 black-and-white pages or 7,500 colour pages.

Price context & historical value Amazon has reduced the Epson EcoTank ET-2861 from 239.99 to 179.99, saving you 60 or 25% off the listed price. It has been cheaper in the past though. I picked it up for 129.99 a few months ago and it could be reduced in price for Black Friday and/or Prime Day. While the initial cost is higher than many conventional cartridge printers, Epson claims its refillable tank system can reduce printing costs by up to 95%.

The American equivalent model, the Epson EcoTank ET-2800, usually sells for $239.99 and is on sale for $199.99 at Amazon right now.

You print regularly at home and are tired of buying expensive cartridges. Having bought this model myself, I've found it easy to use, and the
refillable tanks and print quality makes this an easy recommendation.

You print only a handful of pages each year and simply want the cheapest printer possible. Its higher upfront cost is acceptable when you'll actually benefit from the lower-cost ink system. See all ink tank printers at Amazon
