![]() ![]() As far as print drivers go, Canon’s and Epson’s are up to the task. Still there are times when a print job needs manipulated for better results. Printing apps and point & print setups like Airprint are fine as far as they go. As opposed to only aiming at speed or quality. Epson seems to have configured the driver for the least compatibility issues. Chromebooks, Fire OS, Macs, or mobile device printing is a breeze. Their Morpria and Airprint setup covers a lot of ground. Knowing print drivers is part of my day job, so I appreciate a good one when I see it. The Espson print driver is well thought out with very suitable features. For one thing it doesn’t need cartridges, For another there’s a window where you can see the ink levels. No more running to the store for ink cartridges in the middle of a job. The bottles of ink for the EcoTank ET-2760 cost about the same as an ink cartridge. I don’t know of any supertank printers with lower operating costs. Printing costs are less than a penny a page for color and even lower for Black & White printing. I’ve only seen better from a 5 or 6 color process. I found the quality is excellent however. Printing is slower for 2-sided in my experience. The main tray accepts 100 sheets of paper while the auxiliary tray takes up to ten #10 envelopes. I found the absence of a warmup time and fast processing seems to get that 1st page out fast. Not surprisingly my test print for B&W revealed a print speed 10.3 pages per minute. Although, the extra coverage can account for the slower speed. My tests revealed a color print speed of 4.5 pages per minute. But less than the ISQ/IEC 19752 standard B&W test page. So more coverage than the ISO/IEC 1971 color test pages. I tested the print speed with my lease and pictures of my kids. The SD cart port is located on the from left side of the printer. ![]() This control panel is fine for the occasional interactions. Then again, most operations are typically printing. It’s better than a single line of text or worse, no display. When I used the 1.44 inch color display and buttons I thought it was a small display. Saves the trouble of having to search through a manual. The manual’s walk through of the control panel is a nice touch in my opinion. I like that there are options and fallback choices when the automated ones are unable to connect. I only mention it now because Epson’s is one of the best in my opinion. Setup utilities for configuring a printer on a network is fairly standard stuff nowadays. Still wireless or USB shouldn’t be an issue for any home or office. Wired ethernet is nice but many home routers now offer USB ports for printer sharing. It’s wireless or USB for the Ecotank ET-2760. Also, the valve on the bottle isn’t accessible so it would be hard to accidentally open it.Īfter it finishes cycling through the initial setup it is ready to use, at least as a copier. The EcoTank ET-2760 ink tanks and bottles are keyed so it’s near impossible to add the wrong ink. ![]() Which I hate to admit I usually do whenever I work on an inkjet printer. Even I can do it without getting ink on myself. I will say adding the ink is as easy as plugging in a plug. ![]() I removed some packing tape needs removed. ![]()
