This is especially true if you want to print photos; as we all know, pictures slurp up a ton of ink. Luckily, our sponsor, Epson’s EcoTank printers, cut out the costly middleman of ink cartridges, using its user-refillable tanks instead. Out of the box, they can yield up to 11,000 black-and-white pages or 8,500 in color. You can save around 80% of the cash you’d otherwise spend on traditional inkjet cartridges. Now, get ready for even bigger savings. Epson announced it’s upgrading its beloved EcoTank printers to include new models specially designed for creative professionals and home offices that need a ton of papers. If you need a powerful, high-performing printer, you’ve got some great new gadgets to choose from.
Attention, photographers! These two printers are perfect for you
Two new printers are specifically designed for creatives. The EcoTank Photo ET-8500 and EcoTank Photo ET-8550 can print 4” x 6” borderless prints in as fast as 15 seconds, Epson says. (Plus, you can print them for about 4 cents each — compare that to the average of 40 cents each, which you’d pay if you used ink cartridges). They also have gray and photo black ink specifically for black and white art. Not only that, but these two models deliver vibrant colors, smooth gradations and sharp text. They’re Epson’s only consumer photo printers that support Epson’s Signature Worthy media line, along with cardstock and other specialty media up to 1.3 mm thick. They’re also compatible with the Epson Print Layout Software. (Never heard of it? It’s a downloadable application that helps photographers like you streamline the photo printing process.) Here are a few other features you’ll get:
Easy-to-access front-loading media trays.A high-resolution flatbed scanner.A 4.3-inch color touch screen display panel.Wireless printing options. Wide-format, borderless prints up to 13” x 19” for greater creative project and output sizes.
All that for a brand-new printing line that starts at $599.99. What’s not to love?
