Epson EcoTank ET-2803

New Printer in the Library

Today we replaced our HP printer with an EcoTank Epson printer. It will go longer without needing new ink and a fill set of ink bottles is less than a cartridge for the previous printer.

The new printer has features far above our earlier printer. I believe it will be more usable and save the library money in the long run. Here are some specs and a little advertising blurb from Epson.

  • 1.44” Color Display
  • 10 ppm Max ISO Print Speed
  • 100 Sheet Paper Tray
  • Single Page Scanning

Here’s what Epson says:

expensive ink cartridges; Epson’s exclusive EcoFit® ink bottles make filling easy and
worry-free

bottles vs. ink cartridges1
– that’s enough to print up to 4,500 pages black/7,500

Up to 2 years of ink in the box
