The Epson EcoTank ET-2830 may be basic, but it’s about as affordable as refillable ink tank multifunctions get. In return for the outlay, you get competent performance across the board, around 6000 pages’ worth of ink in the box, and ridiculously low running costs of just half a penny per page. It’s a shame this printer only comes with a one-year warranty, but otherwise it’s extremely hard to fault.

Epson clearly set out to change that with the EcoTank ET-2830, which is about as cheap as refillable printers get. It’s not particularly rich in features, but it’s got the print, scan and copy functions you need for everyday household admin.

Consider the huge amount of included ink and the Epson EcoTank ET-2830 is a bargain. Many printers in this class won’t print 6000 pages over their lifetime, so it’s quite possible you’d never need to top up the ET-2830’s refillable tanks. For everyone except very occasional users, that could make this MFP better value than any cartridge-based alternative.
