With Epson EcoTank ET-2600 Ink, Epson's EcoTank offers an ultra-high-capacity ink tank design that eliminates the need for cartridges. We believe that printing should be simple and straightforward.

Expert Verdict
To print the images and papers, not all printers use expensive ink cartridges. In this Epson EcoTank ET-2600 review, we'll look at a printer that employs a unique EcoTank ET-2600 ink dispensing system to reduce printing costs over time, and evaluate how it compares to other printers. The ET-2600 is a great solution between bulky and compact in terms of dimensions. It's not as large as many office-specific printers that appear to have numerous layers, but it's also not compact enough to keep between uses. It has overall dimensions of 17.5” x 28” x 11” and weighs 11 pounds. The ET-2600 comes with four bottles of Epson EcoTank ET-2600 ink and most of the supplies you'll need to set up the printer and get it up and running straight away. There isn't a USB cable included, so you'll have to rely on the wireless communication feature. However, Wi-Fi connectivity is quite consistent, and the ET-2600 includes WPS functionality. This allows you to connect to your home network faster than other networks. You may also utilise the Epson iPrint app in conjunction with the printer for mobile printing needs.
The Epson installation software, on the other hand, was hit or miss for us. Typical Windows 10 installation wizards do a far better job of recognising the ET-2600 and installing everything without a hitch. The ET-2600's front-facing display lacks a touchscreen and a number of direct controls. Instead, only a few physical buttons are used to initiate fundamental activities, with all other functions handled by a computer interface.
The fact that this printer does not require ink cartridges is the most intriguing design choice. This printer instead employs refillable ink tanks that are refilled with less expensive Epson EcoTank ET-2600 ink bottles. In comparison to many competitors, this lowers the ET-2600's cost per page. Furthermore, rather than needing to replace the entire set if one color runs out, you can refill only the color that is missing. Refilling the ink tanks with Epson EcoTank ET-2600 ink isn't difficult and is easier than you might think. The tanks are refilled outside the ET-2600 and then inserted when full. However, putting the tanks in takes only a few seconds and is simple. However, after the ink tanks are installed into the printer, they must be charged before you can start printing new papers. This procedure takes around 20 minutes, so if you run out of ink in the middle of a major copying job and have to stop, it can be pretty inconvenient.
The quality of the printing is excellent. Prints have a maximum resolution of 5760 x 1440 dpi. When compared to smaller or less expensive printers, which frequently have maximum resolutions of only 1200 dpi, this is a fantastic resolution. When you utilise picture paper and try to bring realistic images to life, however, the printing quality suffers. The colors in document logos and charts are vivid, but the colors in photos appear washed out. To get a better output, you may need to fiddle with the ET-2600 software's quality settings. Keep in mind that the "high quality" print setting uses a lot more Epson EcoTank ET-2600 ink and slows down the printing process. The draft setting should only be used for black-and-white or text-only documents. Colors appear particularly bad on the draft setting, therefore for any documents that involve colors other than black and white, we recommend choosing a standard or higher settings. Unfortunately, no matter what settings you try, there is no way to print without a border with this programme.
The Epson EcoTank ET-2600 is a good printer for bigger families or offices. Its key selling point is the less expensive ink consumption mechanism that characterises its design. The printer's initial asking price is extremely exorbitant, especially when considering its printing speed and maximum resolution. However, if you take advantage of the compatible Epson EcoTank ET-2600 ink, you should be able to make up for the high asking price over time. It's an excellent long-term printer for people that print a large number of pages each month.
