ISO page yields are based on ISO tests in default mode printing continuously. Cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. All ink colors are used for printing and printer / all-in-one maintenance, and all colors have to be installed for printing. For more information visit: epson.com/inkinfo.

Epson EcoTank Printers Help People Save in 3 Ways

Cost of Replacement Ink

Epson EcoTank includes enough ink to last up to three years - and if you run low - you’ll save up to 90% with replacement ink bottles vs. ink cartridges¹.

Zero Cartridge Waste

One set of replacement EcoFit^® ink bottles are equivalent to about 80 ink cartridges³ dramatically reducing the amount of plastic waste going into landfills⁴.

Time & Hassle

With enough included ink to last up to 3 years⁵, you’ll spend less time finding and replacing ink versus an ink cartridge printer.

¹ Actual savings and costs will vary considerably based on print tasks, print volumes and usage conditions. Savings and cost per ISO page are based on the cost of replacement ink bottles and the cost of enough standard cartridges to achieve the total page yields of the bottles using the MSRP (USD) and yields for Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured Epson consumer inkjet printers as of March 2025.
² Based on internal cumulative sales data 2010-2024.
³ Individual cartridges estimate based on print yields of a replacement set of black and color ink bottles as compared to Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured printers as of March 2025.
⁴ Based on product and replacement ink bottle sales in North America 2015 – June 2021.
⁵ Based on an average monthly print volume of 100 pages (ET-2800), 125 pages (ET-2950) and 150 pages (ET-4950).
