I’m in need of a replacement for my Canon all in one printer and I have the ads for Epson Ecotank 2750. It’s on sale. Anyone have any experience with it? Does it come fully loaded with ink? What do the replacement tanks cost? Any help would be appreciated.
jerryc41 has one and can't say enough about it. Give him a pm
I have used a Epson ET-3600 Ecotank for a little over 3 years. No issues to speak of. They say you need to do a fair amount of printing to keep from clogging the print heads. Not for photos if you want high quality IMO. Does fine on general printing. Mine came with 2 sets of ink, and I have not had to buy any yet. Last I checked a ink set was in the $60 range. You can look up which ink and cost as well as I can.

Where is that on sale Mike? I'm in the market also. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
In my experience epson printers clog heads and I’ve had to throw away too many to ever buy one again. Canon has tank mfp. My current Canon printer is used when I need a color print (not photo) and has never clogged even when it might be weeks between prints. I use a HP laser printer for all text as it’s faster and way cheaper. My current one was purchased in 2004. We use 3rd party cartridges ($20 or less) get about 1,200/cartridge. All my photo work goes out to Costco for smaller sizes and test prints and custom lab for bigger images.

We have an Epson EcoTank ET4700 all-in-one. It is similar to the 2750 in most respects.
These printers are great for office work. They are "just okay" for photo printing.
They do come with four full bottles of ink, which Epson equates to about 80 individual conventional ink cartridges. A complete set of inks for our printer costs $56.00, about the same as a set of cartridges for our old WF-3640.
Epson DOES make a couple of EcoTank photo printers. They use six colors of Claria ink, also sold in bottles. Epson claims an 80% savings compared with cartridge photo printers.

I bought a ET3750 from Costco and it includes extra ink. It been good, however, I'm not sure how good it would be to print really good photos. The ink tanks work very well.

I switched from Canon to an Epson ET 4760 and never looked back. I thought a little pricy at first but it's worth it.
I bought two sets of refills when I did the purchase. I kept looking at the levels and wondering if it ever needed to
be refilled. It took many, many hi-rez 8 X 10 prints and lots of plain paper printing before it needed a refill.
I'm still on my first refill since before the pandemic. Really great printer!
The one I purchased was not filled but had all inks with it. I had to think a little before I filled the ink.
once I look the system over I saw it was almost goofproof. Good luck!
You can find the epson 502 [4 ink tanks] at costco or sam's club for $49.99. Costco online only, and sam's club online and at the warehouse.
Been using Epson printers for many years but the ones with twice as many pigment based inks as the one described as they seem to do a far better job for serious prints. Should be fine for routine printing needs, but if you are serious about printing your pix ...
Thanks for the input guys. I’m in the market now too as mine took a dump
