Epson EcoTank ET-M2170

Exceptionally low running costs. 6,000-page ink bottle included in box. Terrific print quality. Smart home voice-printing and scanning. Fast first page out. Two-year warranty with registration.

Costly. Sluggish compared with laser counterparts. Low monthly print volume ratings. Lacks automatic document feeder.

Bottom Line: The inexpensive-to-use Epson EcoTank ET-M2170 is a well-printing monochrome inkjet AIO, but its slightly costlier sibling offers additional office-friendly features that make it a better value.

Extremely low cost-per-page; High-capacity, refillable ink tank; Good mono text and graphics; Automatic duplex printing

Mono-only; Noisy paper feed; Tiny control screen

Anyone that needs a colour printer should obviously look elsewhere, but if your business needs to print high volumes of mono documents every month then the low running costs of the ET-M2170 will be hard to beat.
