I looked at Epson, Canon, and HP; all of which offered good quality and good pricing, but Epson was the only line that offered the Eco(nomy)Tank design.

, the price per print is now way lower than the laser printer, and no more inkjet cartridges!The Epson ET-2650 uses the Eco-Tank system

If I had been buying cartridges, I figure I would have used 3 sets of 4 different colors (12 x $30) just so far, so the Eco Tank design has paid for itself.

The eco tanks (if they hold up) contain a heckuva lot of ink.2

The print quality is not bad, wireless printing is easy and the Eco-tank feature is very good, but be VERY CAREFUL if you need to print on Card Stock regularly: it is INCREDIBLY finicky

I bought this for the eco-tank feature after going through 3 Canon printers in about 5 years, the last one lasting less than 6 months

But I would NOT buy one of these, once there is an alternative "eco-type" printer with auto duplex and reasonable scan / print quality available.

Do NOT buy anything from the Eco Tank line--apparently since they get their money up front they didn't care if you could actually use the printer once you've bought it.

If this poor quality is what we can expect from the eco tank line then it's a no go ..
