2.- You will not pay anymore for expensive ink cartridges.

3.- But will pay the real price for the printer.

4.- And you will recieve back a very ink loaded ECOTANK

, that according to EPSON will last 2 years .Based on average monthly print volumes of about 300 pages (ET-4550).

1. ET-4550 yields based on the ISO/IEC 24712 pattern with Epson's methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably. For more information, visit www.epson.com/inkinfo

You have several New EPSON All In One printers options with ECOTANK

Model ET-4550 includes a ECOTANK with Black Ink for 11.000 pages and 8500 color pages.

Models ET-2500 and ET-2550 print 4000 Black pages and 6500 color pages.

Cost for 6,500 color pages:

That’s another 6,500 pages.
