OUR MOST ADVANCED ECOTANK PRINTER

PRINTING FREEDOM

For one upfront price, the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8500 printer comes with enough ink in the box so you can print 5,500 pages in black¹ / 4,900 pages in colour¹ without worrying about ongoing ink replacement and costs.

HIGH-VOLUME INK BOTTLES

Additional low-cost ink can be bought in convenient high-volume bottles that have a drip-free nozzle and resealable cap for easy storage and refilling. We have redesigned our ink bottles to incorporate a unique key system.

Replacement bottles hold enough ink for a massive 6,700 pages in black¹ / 6,200 pages in colour¹

¹Yields based on the ISO/IEC 24712 pattern with Epson's methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink colour. All ink colours are used for printing and printer maintenance, and all colours must be available for printing so an additional black (K) bottle may be required to reach stated colour (C, M, Y) yields.
²Actual 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 RRP (AUD) and yields for Epson High-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured Epson consumer inkjet printers as of November 2023.
³Adapter may be required.
⁴ Most features require an Internet connection to the printer, as well as an Internet and/or email-enabled device. See www.epson.co.nz/connect for a list of Epson Connect enabled printers and compatible devices and Apps.
⁵ Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™, level of performance subject to the range of the router being used. Wi-Fi Direct may require printer software.
⁶ Colour photo in Default Mode on Premium Photo Paper Glossy measured from start of paper feed. Actual print times will vary based on system configuration, software, and page complexity
⁷ Scan to cloud requires an Internet connection, a free Epson Connect account and a destination email address or cloud storage account. For a list of supported cloud services, visit www.epson.co.nz/connect
⁸ 12 months of standard Return to Base warranty. For an additional 12 months warranty (total of 24 months), you must register online at www.epson.com.au/registrations within 12 months of purchase (excluding Factory Seconds, or Refurbished EcoTank models).
