The print giant doubles down on its ink tank technology, promising unprecedented productivity, ease of use, and significant cost savings for busy European households and small businesses.
LONDON – In a strategic move set to redefine the printing landscape for consumers and small offices across Europe, Epson has today unveiled a new series of its game-changing EcoTank printers. This latest generation is not just an incremental update; it's a significant leap forward designed to address the core pain points of modern printing: soaring ink costs, frustrating complexity, and environmental waste.
For years, the true cost of printing has been hidden behind the upfront price of a printer, only to reveal itself in the relentless need to replace expensive, low-yield ink cartridges. Epson's EcoTank system, first introduced as a disruptive alternative, tackled this head-on by replacing cartridges with high-capacity, refillable ink tanks. This new series amplifies that winning formula with enhanced features focused on productivity, simplicity, and seamless integration into our connected lives.
The Heart of the Matter: Unbeatable Economics and Unprecedented Yield
The headline feature remains the monumental cost-saving. The new EcoTank models come packaged with enough ink in the box to print thousands of pages—often up to two years' worth of ink for the average user—effectively eliminating the anxiety of frequent ink purchases. This translates to a cost-per-page that is a mere fraction of a penny, a stark contrast to the expensive per-page cost of traditional cartridge-based systems.
For a small business printing marketing materials, invoices, and reports, or a family printing school projects, holiday photos, and weekly schedules, the economics are undeniable. The initial investment in an EcoTank printer is quickly offset by the sheer avoidance of cartridge replacements.
Epson's official press release details the specific yields, noting: "With each bottle of ink providing up to 7,500 pages in black and 6,000 in colour, the new EcoTank printers can save users hundreds of euros annually."

Designed for Simplicity and Speed
Beyond the ink savings, this new series focuses heavily on user experience. Epson has listened to customer feedback and engineered these printers for hassle-free operation.
- Effortless Refilling: The integrated ink bottles are designed with mess-free precision. Each bottle fits uniquely into its corresponding colour tank, making the refill process intuitive and virtually foolproof, protecting against costly and messy errors.
- Enhanced Productivity: Understanding the needs of small offices, the new models boast faster printing speeds and larger paper capacities. This means less time waiting for documents and more time between paper tray refills, allowing users to focus on their work rather than managing their printer.
- Seamless Connectivity: In today's hybrid world, printing from anywhere is essential. The new EcoTank range features robust wireless connectivity, allowing users to print directly from their smartphones, tablets, and cloud services like Google Drive and Dropbox with ease. The companion Epson Smart Panel app provides a clear, simple interface for monitoring ink levels and managing print tasks from a mobile device.
A Sustainable Choice for the Conscious Consumer
The environmental benefits of the EcoTank system are a major selling point, particularly for a European market increasingly driven by eco-conscious decisions. By drastically reducing plastic waste—eliminating the need for countless disposable cartridges—Epson estimates its global EcoTank users have already prevented millions of tonnes of plastic from entering landfills.
This "more prints, less waste" philosophy resonates with both families and businesses aiming to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on performance. The energy-efficient design of the new models further cements their credentials as a responsible choice for the planet.
Who Are These New EcoTank Printers For?
The new range is versatile, with models tailored to different needs:
- Busy Families: Perfect for the endless stream of school worksheets, coursework, recipes, and family photos. The low cost-per-page means saying "yes" to printing in colour doesn't come with a side of financial guilt.
- Home Office Professionals: Freelancers, remote workers, and entrepreneurs will appreciate the professional quality, high yield, and fast speeds for contracts, presentations, and marketing materials.
- Small Businesses: Micro-businesses and start-ups can now access a reliable, high-volume printing solution that protects their bottom line from the unpredictable costs of printing.
The Bottom Line
Epson's latest EcoTank series is more than just a new product launch; it's a reaffirmation of a consumer-first philosophy. By combining radical cost savings with enhanced ease-of-use and a clear environmental benefit, Epson is solidifying its position as a leader in the printing industry's shift away from the outdated cartridge model.
For anyone tired of the high cost and hassle of traditional printing, these new EcoTank printers represent a compelling and intelligent alternative.
The new EcoTank models are available to order now across Europe through major retailers and online partners.
