FAQs

What are the downsides of Epson EcoTank? ›

Is an Epson EcoTank messy? Owning an EcoTank printer means that you will need to pour or squirt ink into the chambers found on the right-hand side of the machine and that can be potentially messy. Epson's advice is to wear rubber gloves and place scrap paper under the tanks.

Cleaning out a clogged tube isn't too hard. Just remove the lines from the printer, soak them in warm water, massage them (especially around the area of the clot), and then use a syringe to suck air from one end of the tube. Ideally, the ink will come through really smoothly when you do this.

According to Epson, a complete set of ink bottles lasts for up to two years of printing.

That said, they can still suffer from blockage: if this can't be cleared by the printer's own cleaning cycle you'll need to flush the head and check it's primed. Sounds technical, but patience is more important that competence: the cartridges are a bit fiddly to remove but the rest is straightforward.

If printing becomes slower after printing continuously for a long time, the product may have automatically slowed down to protect the print mechanism from overheating or becoming damaged. Let the product rest with the power on for 30 minutes, then try printing again.

Is the Epson EcoTank worth it? The answer is–it depends. If you print a lot often, then yes, the EcoTank could be a good fit for you. Otherwise, if you don't print often and you get the EcoTank, you might end up with a lot of dried ink in nozzles and tubs that you'd have to clean up often.

Here's why. Epson will stop selling laser printers by 2026 and switch fully to more inkjet printers. Printer maker Epson has announced it will stop selling and distributing laser printers due to sustainability issues caused by heating.

How do I clean the heads on my Epson ET printer? ›

Load a few sheets of plain paper in the product. Press the home button, if necessary. Select Maintenance and press the OK button. Select Head Cleaning and press the OK button.

Draining the ink, this involves physically turning the printer upside-down. This sounds much scarier than it is, it is a very quick process and typically takes 40-50 seconds to drain the current inks from the printers ink tanks. Use a well sized plastic mixing bowl or plastic jug to catch the draining ink.

If you don't use your printer frequently, the ink in the tanks could dry up, clogging the tanks and other parts of your printer. They can be tricky to refill.

Some common printing issues include banding, incorrect colors appearing, blurry prints, grainy prints, or faded prints. If you need help refilling or flushing ink, or are having other ink-related issues, search for 'ink' on your printer's FAQs tab.
