Epson Releases Two New Cartridge Free Premium EcoTank Models

According to Epson, the wireless, multi-function EcoTank ET-8500 and ET-8550, use 6 colour Epson Claria ET Premium inks, and print stunning photos and documents at incredibly low running costs. They include a range of modern connectivity features the whole family will enjoy.

The photo black and new photo grey ink makes it easy to achieve detailed, high-contrast black and white photos with beautiful toning, while the pigment black ink ensures sharp text when printing double-sided documents on plain paper. The OEM claims that this makes these printers a fantastic choice for every task in home.

The two new printers comes with flexible media handling capabilities. With five paper feeds there is no end to the creative projects these printers can deliver. Not only can users print directly onto suitable CDs and DVDs, users can also store photo size and A4 paper in the two front trays ensuring the printer is always loaded and ready to go. The rear tray allows users to print on media such as craft papers and card, even up to A3+ size with the ET-8550. Finally, the rear straight pass paper feed means users can print on media up to 1.3mm thick and 2 metres long and up to A4 in width for the ET-8500 or up to A3+ in width with the ET-8550.

In addition, these new premium EcoTank printers deliver ultra-low cost per page thanks to the EcoTank’s innovative cartridge-free filling system with easy-to-use, mess-free bottles. The ET-8500 and ET-8550 allow users to print up to 2,300 high-quality photos with one set of ink bottles. Featuring Micro Piezo Heat-Free Technology, users can enjoy consistent high-speed printing, with greatly reduced energy consumption and less need for replacement parts, helping to save time, money and the planet too!

The ET-8500 and ET-8550 also enable printing from SD cards and USB flash drives through the large 10.9cm colour touchscreen. With full Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and Ethernet connectivity, integrating either of these printers with user’s existing home set-up is simple and straightforward.

Julian Maddock, product manager at Epson Europe said: “This printer is great news for photographers and creative enthusiasts. It’s our first multi-function, EcoTank printer to feature 6 colour Claria ET Premium Ink for delivering high quality photos, arts and crafts on a wide range of media. The low running costs and flexible convenience of cartridge free printing make it ideal for everyday document printing the whole family can enjoy.”

The EcoTank ET-8500 and ET-8550 are available immediately with an RRP of £649.99 and £779.99 respectively.
