Introducing The New Epson Eco-Tank Prinrters

  • After that the customer had to buy a replacement
    blade, thats where the money is and the ongoing
    sales.

3
  • Heres a shocking fact, the HP 60XL black
    cartridge holds about half an ounce of ink and
    cost 42.99 retail. So if you pay that for half
    an ounce and there are 128 ounces in a gallon
    that figures out to 11,005 per gallon! Now
    thats insane anyway you look at it. Complaining
    about gas being at 3 or 4 dollars a gallon seems
    trivial when compared to this.

4
  • If thats not bad enough a Consumer Report states
    that as much as 50 of the ink in a cartridge
    never makes it to the paper! Its used to clean
    print heads and for other mWe are all quite
    familiar with the constant complaining about how
    expensive it is to print with a ink jet printer.

5
  • How this business model is an exact duplicate of
    the old razor blade style of doing business. In
    this model you design a product that requires a
    replacement unit of some kind to make it
    function. The original guy that came up with this
    actually gave away the razor in the beginning
    with one free razor blade. aintenance chores.

6
  • Imagine filling your gas tank and your car uses
    30 to 40 of the gas for other chores instead of
    making your car go. Wed all be up in arms.

7
  • This is great for the printer companies but
    really sucks for the rest of us. Epson it seems
    has seen the light or maybe is just listening to
    its customers. Or maybe some of its executives
    couldnt sleep at night knowing how bad they were
    fleecing us. I doubt it but hey its a
    good thought.

  • Introducing the new Epson EcoTank set of
    printers. This is a radically new departure from
    the razor blade way of doing business and our
    hats are off to Epson. Its not every day you see
    a large corporation take a new direction that is
    actually good for the consumer.

10
  • Instead of the small expensive ink jet cartridges
    that we are all familiar with, Epson has opted
    for entire ink bottles. When the ink tanks run
    out you simple fill them again with ink. This is
    so cool and so easy you wonder why nobody has
    thought about it before. Oh yea, thats right
    because they were making a gazillion dollars
    selling us the tiny cartridges.

11
  • Epson is claiming that one fill should last the
    average user two years, holy Christmas thats
    unbelievable. Now the printer themselves will
    cost more than the ones your used to but the
    savings you realize on the inks far offsets the
    printers cost.

12
  • Epson is offering five different models, from the
    small ET-2500 for personnel use or small office
    to the heavy duty, high volume business model the
    WF-R4640. All of these printers are pretty
    impressive on just about all fronts. All five of
    these printers are All-in-One machines, that is
    therre also color copiers and scanners and all
    are wireless.

13
  • The ET-2500 and the ER-2550 includes enough ink
    to print up to 4,000 pages in black and 6,500 in
    color. The ET-4500 and the ET-4550 comes with the
    same amount of ink but with more features than
    their smaller brethren.

14
  • Now for the beast, the WF-R4640, this puppy comes
    with enough ink to print 20,000 pages and 20,000
    pages color, now thats impressive. It can print
    20 ppmn in black or color. 500 sheet capacity, 2
    sided printing, copying, scanning and faxing plus
    a 35 page auto document feeder. I wonder if it
    can make you a cup of coffee in the morning?

15
  • So lets look at the numbers. The starter model,
    the ET-2500, costs 380. It comes with enough ink
    for 6,500 color pages.
  • On a comparable 70 inkjet printer, youd need
    about 20 sets of 40 ink cartridges to print that
    much. So the economics look like this

16
Cost for 6,500 color pages
  • EcoTank printer ink 380
  • Standard printer cartridges 870
  • If you take the printers price out of the
    equation and look only at the ink, the savings
    get even better. A replacement set of EcoTank
    bottles goes for 52. (You can buy them
    individually for 13 each.) Thats another 6,500
    pages.
  • Ink cost for 6,500 color pages
  • Epson bottles 52
  • Cartridges 800
