Our Verdict
As many of us are spending more time working from home, sharing through social media and generally printing more, an all-in-one like this ET-3850 EcoTank from Epson could be a life saver. Not only can you produce great quality photos up to A4 size, you can do so economically thanks to ultra high capacity ink tanks with huge print capacities. The EcoTank series is all about saving money and of course the environment and to this end Epson has partnered with National Geographic to reinforce the idea that their Heat-Free Technology not only saves money, but also dramatically reduces environmental impact.
The end results are a win-win as we can print 1000’s of pages from one ink supply, there are lower running costs from reduced power consumption and less parts to replace over time. Connectivity is on par with the best printers around, with every conceivable connection available as well as phone and tablet control using Epson’s app. Throw in the added benefits that an all-in-one office-type printer affords and you have a winner for home users as well as small businesses who require A4 capabilities. If you need an A3+ printer with similar credentials take a look at the Epson ET-8550 EcoTank which is also highly recommended.
