Epson has expanded its cartridge‑free EcoTank line‑up with a new set of compact printers aimed at families, home workers and SOHO users seeking reliable, low‑cost everyday printing. The latest models – the ET‑1910, ET‑2910 series, ET‑2920 series and ET‑4900 series – introduce smaller footprints, higher ink yields and modern connectivity features designed to simplify home printing and reduce long‑term running costs.
The new devices are at least 25% smaller than rival models and ship with up to three years’ worth of ink in the box. Epson says users can save up to 95% on printing costs compared with traditional cartridge‑based printers, thanks to the EcoTank system’s refillable high‑capacity tanks and low‑cost replacement bottles.
Designed for households printing everything from homework and travel documents to home admin and business paperwork, the refreshed range offers Wi‑Fi and Wi‑Fi Direct connectivity, improved support for mesh networks and compatibility with the Epson Smart Panel app for mobile printing, scanning and device management. All models now support Apple AirPrint for driver‑free printing from iOS devices.
Lee Withers, Epson Europe, said the new additions are built to remove one of the biggest frustrations in home printing. “These new EcoTank printers are designed to remove that pain point completely, offering families and home office users a reliable, easy‑to‑use printer with an ultra‑low cost‑per‑page. With their compact footprint, modern connectivity and high page yields, these printers are ideal for anyone looking for hassle‑free everyday printing that delivers both convenience and long‑term value.”
The printers deliver yields of up to 4,700 mono pages and 7,500 colour pages per set of replacement bottles, while features such as a 100‑sheet rear paper tray, borderless photo printing up to 10x15cm and print speeds of up to 11ppm support everyday productivity. Built on Epson’s Heat‑Free technology, the range offers low energy consumption, a 50,000‑page durability rating and a printhead designed to last the lifetime of the device.
