Looking to buy a colour tank printer that has adf and 2 sided printing.
After suggestions looking under $500 if possible.
So many options and so many mixed reviews.
Best Tank Inkjet Printer
Comments

Was thinking of EcoTank until I looked at ProductReview where they get slammed…

Same. So Confused as to what is good and what isn't

EcoTank
I've been using them for many many years…. Probably saved > $1000 in ink over that time.

I have both a colour laser Fuji Xerox (CM215 - old i know) and an Epson ET3700 ecotank.
I find the print quality overall better on the laser printer. While the ecotank is ok, it has a duplex function which is a must in 2025. As for running costs, both are pretty cheap to run. I've bought new OEM toner/ink from Marketplace as well which makes it very economical. The laser is faster as well.
I have noticed that Epson has shrunk the newer ink bottles compared to their older series. For example, mine use 502 ink. Black comes in a 100+ml bottle. Newer models come with a 70ml bottle which would impact yield/cost.

sorry whats a tank printer?

Ink tank

still have no idea what tank is refering to

The ink tank

@sandman20104159: Continuous ink tank printers, there's no cartridge.
You just fill up the tank that directly feeds the printhead; https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/c/technology…
OP, might be worth reading through some previous deals here; https://www.ozbargain.com.au/search/node/ecotank%20type%3Aoz….
I can't offer any advice on which one as I currently use refillable tank/cartridges.

@neo: ha i never knew there was refillable ink cartridges and that they were called tanks… i guess its because i dont have a printer at home, i just use the ones at work for my printing needs

So i am down to picking between. Epson ecotank et-2850 $400 and canon gx1060 $355.
Has anyone had either of these and can comment of them.
Which one is cheaper to run? Epson seem to have lots of aftermarket options too?
Look at the Epson range on thr website. Been using the lowest/cheapest one for over a year and very happy.
