VERDICT

At long last, Epson’s ET-4750 begins to deliver on the EcoTank promise

Simon Handby
Epson EcoTank ET-4750

EPSON’S ECOTANK SYSTEM has always been a promising concept. Instead of costly, wasteful ink cartridges, EcoTank devices have big tanks, come with generous bottles of ink, and slash print costs to a fraction of their previous levels. It’s a great idea, but we’ve been frustrated that we’re yet to see it fitted to a particularly good printer or multifunction peripheral (MFP). The new EcoTank ET-4750 finally changes that.

It’s immediately clear that Epson has improved the EcoTank system itself. This MFP’s ink tanks are neatly integrated into the front where you can view their levels at a glance; it’s important not to let them run dry. More significantly, Epson has overhauled the filling system, introducing keying to eliminate the risk of misfuelling. The new system appears to be more leak- and splash-proof: now you just slot a bottle on to the tank and leave it for a minute to disgorge.
