Exciting news in the world of printers from Epson.
I know that sentence sounds absurd, but stay with me here.
Epson introduced the Epson EcoTank, a printer line that says goodbye to ink cartridges.
These printers ship with the equivalent of 20 cartridges already in the machine.
Epson says you can print up to 4,000 black and 6,500 color pages before you'll need more ink.
Okay but you'll still need a refill some time in the future and they'll cost somewhere between 50 and 60 dollars total but that's going to last another 4 thousand black and 65 hundred color pages.
Epson figures you'll need new ink every two years.
What's the down side?
The Epson eco tank printers start at 379 dollars so either you pay up front Where you pay over time.
However, if you pay up front, you get thousands and thousand of printouts before you start screaming at your printer for being out of ink.
