hello everyone thank you once again for tuning into our YouTube channel
I wanted to go ahead and before I started using this Epson eco tank et
2760 printer doing an unboxing for you because printers have started to evolve
over the years and all this started believe it or not because they started
getting greedy with the cost of ink and a lot of people recently started just
buying their own ink refill kits well companies like Epson and you might have
seen the commercial from Epson where Shaq Shaquille O'Neal comes out and
talks a little bit about this type of printer and it's called the eco tank and
the reason is they no longer use cartridges rather they decided to go
with tanks that you fill with regular ink bottles so what you have probably
done for years or someone you know or heard about which is to basically refill
their own inks with ink bottles liquid ink bottles versus cartridges because
the cost of cartridges was just getting out of control this is what the printer
industry is already evolving into and Epson I believe is the first one to do
it so I have owned Epson printers for a very long time I actually might have
done a review I believe some time ago with an Epson 8:37 that I had lasted me
a total believe it or not five years with with a basic exterior
Eagle tank and I talked about it on that video I will try to put that video up
here so you can see it while I'm talking at the top right hand corner of
but anyway as you can see in the box this is cartridge free printing gives
you up to two years with just the amount of pink that comes out of there I don't
know based on how many pages per day they're basing this out of but in this
particular model you can see that the tank that holds the black ink is a
little bigger the models before this one before the et 2760 had a smaller black
there was the same size of these and they do have other models they have
models that are like the 4700 actually has a fax on it I could care less about
faxing at this day and age but maybe you do so then you would like to go with the
4700 series and as you can see here it will work off of your tablet so if you
have an iPad or your tablet off of your smartphone you can air print to it you
can use Android apps and Google Cloud printing as well so all of those will
work just fine until you in here has a built-in wireless plus Wi-Fi direct so
it is designed to work with wireless systems it does allow two-sided printing
and again it's easy to fill using these bottles that come with it I'm hoping
that's what I've been told but then you can just buy these ink bottles and then
just refill it yourself no more need to buy those expensive cartridges that was
just getting way out of control so according to what the Box States here it
does have a CD installation CD and a cable to plug into it let's go ahead and
get to it
and see exactly what we got here
so it does have the instructions that come with it I was hoping the CD was
right here let's see let's take a look at that so I got the white but they do
have them in black too
does have a cover here second screen it's basically telling you how they want
you to use the ink cartridges you're not supposed to squeeze it you're just
supposed to put it right in place and then I guess press a bun this is all
mutiny so I'm just gonna learn how to do this myself but we'll see once we get to
it I'm gonna go ahead and actually do a review on this once I've been using it
for a full 30 days but I just wanted to do an unboxing as you can see the
footprint is not very large
so I'm gonna go ahead and pull it out of here and it is not heavy at all
so I'm gonna put this off to the side put the actual printer off to the side
I'll show you here the actual bottles that come with it we have your yellow
it's a lot of ink as you can see I mean I I have pretty large hands and there's
a lot of ink in there almost to the top as you can see there is your yellow
there's your black in comparison just like the like I showed you in the
picture it does bring a lot more black obviously you're printing more with
black ink than colors and here's something that you should consider if if
you're staying at home like most of us are nowadays you're gonna be using a
printer whether it's for work or if you have children they're doing homework and
home school and they're gonna need a printer so just on ink alone you're
gonna save hundreds of dollars a year maybe even close to a thousand dollars a
year think about this for a minute if you had to buy your red cartridge about
twenty-five dollars for that blue or cyan and other twenty-five dollars and
then yellow another twenty-five dollars and black maybe thirty dollars so your
your about a hundred dollars if you had to replace your ink every month your a
hundred dollars just on cartridges folks think about that in a year you're gonna
spend around twelve hundred dollars just on ink you have to replace it every
single month it makes no sense to buy cartridges anymore you need to go with
this style of printing even the manufacturers are are noticing that and
that's why they're doing this so for the consumer definitely go that route so it
does bring the actual cable that hooks up to the wall now what it does not
bring and I saw that in the box somewhere it does not bring the USB
printer cable so if you wanted to connect your printer directly to your PC
your computer let's say you have a Windows PC or Mac it would not allow you
to connect to it via USB so you would have to you would have to buy that
online so what I'm going to do is I'm going to post a link in the description
where you can do that on your own and you'll be able to just get your cable
and connect to your PC that way so it does have a smaller LCD screen than what
I was used to with my previous Epson printer the 8:37 series that I mentioned
but this is fine I mean it does flex upward
move this tape yeah there you go so it does flex upward so you can incline it
and look at what's on the LCD screen there that's pretty cool
like I mentioned this this model does not have a fax machine but if you are
looking for one for business then go for it up for the 4700 printer instead of
this one alright based on my needs I looked at
all the features on a different equal tank there's there's a bunch of models
and this one pretty much fits my needs I don't need an Ethernet on it because
I'm not going to connect directly to a router but if you are then you want to
go with another model that's a little higher than this one it also costs a
little bit more this printer folks 200 bucks 200 bucks out of your pocket
brand-new in the box and it does scan as well so if you need to scan a document
and will scan it for you as well so we're $200 you're getting a brand new
printer with ink
that will last you two years it doesn't get any better than that I'm really
excited to start using it and what I'm gonna do is use it for about a good 30
days or so and after I start using it for 30 days I'm gonna go back here and
do a quick review on how I feel about it and personally I've been an epson
printer user for a while so I will do that and stay tuned for that as well so
thank you for watching please subscribe and we'll see you next time
