how is the printer doing now?
Just bought an Epson EcoTank (2803) and it cannot handle cardstock consistently even with the Thick Paper option selected in the extended settings. It inconsistently grabs the paper and sometimes the printing goes off of the page because it didn't pull the paper in far enough. We already had a G3200 which has never had an issue pulling in the cardstock. I'll be returning this Epson and recommend the Canon Megatank models.

The main problem with tank printers are the ink absorber pads get filled eventually resulting in lines down the page. Canons newest megatank models now have replaceable maintenance cartridges so you can swap out the sponge and avoid the paper smudges

Great video. Looking for a printer that would be great for home printing. We probably don't print the number that the printer recommends a month. We probably don't print 10 to 20 pages a month. Ink dries up before it is all used. Do you think this type of printer we could only fill when we need to print, not letting ink set for months not being used? Any information would greatly be appreciated.

I currently have an hp office jet 5200 all-in-one printer. I try to use remanufactured cartridges. Now I'm thinking of switching to an Ecotank printer. I checked out the hp instant ink subscription plan and since I use the HP Smart App it has statistics on how many pages I print monthly. I print about an average of 79 pages per month. HP Instant Ink will support 100 pages of either black and white or color printing for $4.99 a month or 300 pages for 9.99 a month. I'm wondering if I should just get the instant ink subscription or an ecotank printer. I found an ecotank 4800 printer for a great price.

Hi this video should help, kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4Jkwauhg6_cpto.html. The only difference with your model is you might have to remove some screw around the scanning bed, to get it to lift up.
Ink tank or refillable tank printers are great for high volume. For home use (where the volumes are under 20 pages or a dozen 4x6 photos per month) is the investment really worth the initial cost? I moved recently and need to replace 2 printers.... a general multi function and a wide bed photo printer. It would be "nice to have" a refillable tank (6 color) multifunction however, the initial cost would be outrageous for the amount of printing I would do, and the ink would outlast the life of the printer. The Epson ET‑8550 is $ 700 dollars while the cartridge XP-970 is $ 299. If I replace the full set of inks 2x per year that is $380 per year. It will take 2 years to brake even. I know tech keeps moving forward and who knows what printers will be like 2 or 3 years from know. If the Ink tank ET-8550 (or equivalent) were $200 less then I'd buy it now. Can't see why it costs so much except that Epson has to recoup the lost potential revenue from cartridge sales.

Canon pixma recommends 150-1500 pages print per month. How do I know? Because all canon pixma ink tanks printer outside usa is advertised as such. Same canon printers different code names based on where you live.
What I wish you would cover is the "ink absorber pad" problem in all of these printers. I have the 6020 Canon and had a previous Canon Megatank. I'm okay SO FAR on the 6020 Canon but I had to throw out the previous Canon Megatank because the ink absorber pad was full and even though you can add new pad material Canon will not give the user the reset code. I believe that is similar with the other two you reviewed. Love the 6020. I put card stock in the back and plain paper in the cassette. Does a great job but I fear that someday that ink absorber pad will be full and it will stop me for using this excellent printer. Why can't the manufacturers fix that sell the user an easy to insert pad and give the user the reset code?

If you are a big business owner and print everyday and want to dispose your printer every 2-3 years then buy epson because in many cases their printheads will show up signs of problems during those years or around after 7,000 to 15,000 pages of prints and it is very hard to acquire brand new print head. Epson will not sell printheads in the market, the way to only have brand new parts replacement is to send it to epson service center. Those you see in the online shop selling epson printhead are almost all used or 2nd hand and a lot have bad reviews. But if you are a small business office or a home user then buy canon pixma because the printhead replaceability is easier and most of the time available in online market brand new, making your printer last longer. They are also ink tank printer. Picture quality is also better with canon.

Is there a Epson Printer that has a SD card intake that you recommend??
would be nice to have a review about all these pads that need to replaced. All of these tanks from Epson/Canon or HP needs their pads replaced in some way or another and its not the issue to replace them, the issue is you cannot reset the code on most of them and the printer becomes useless. Its a direct hit to the customer to throw away printer that can still be used. so yes you are saving on ink but in the end throwing away an expensive printer due to pads or using some sketchy software's to reset the new installed pads.

Well newer series Gx040 have the capability to buy these pads (maintenance cart). So canon seems to be improving its ways.

Thanks for this info on the three printers. I'm printing a lot of very high color usage pages for making journals. I've got two hp printers at the moment and am using their instant ink program which is considerably cheaper than buying individual cartridges off Amazon. I just learned about these printers with the large tank/bottled inks though and they seem to be a real money saver where ink goes. The other issue that I wanted to look into a new printer for however was to find one that has a direct path printer so that somewhat heavier papers can be used. I see that the Canon has the back loading capability. I was told by HP customer service that none of the HP printers have that option any longer, but it looks like the Smart Tank 551 pulls the paper from the back of the printer and straight out the front, so I'm confused. If any of these have a reliable direct path printing option that you have had experience with I would love to know about it. Thanks so much.

How often do the print heads have to be replaced, ink absorbers?

If you mean the maintenance box, in the settings of these printers you should have an indication of when you need to change it.
What about "Print " quality and resolution ? or ink replacement prices?
I was thinking of replacing my canon printer because the black ink started smudging after a big print job, I replaced both black ink cartridges hoping that would fix it but it didn't, I performed all cleaning, deep cleaning & alignment functions yet nothing worked. Could this be that I need that cleaning kit or should I just replace it? 🤔

I have a HP 415 ink tank, it has started reporting that the black cartridge is not compatible with the printer, it means the print heads, I have not been able to source new print heads yet at a reasonable price, a colour and black print heads pack is 50% of the cost of new printer. I am going to HP service Center today but will probably end up buying a different printer or another cheaper HP that uses the same print heads
Hey buddy, I have a Canon TS9020 Wireless All-In-One Printer with Scanner and Copier my problem is I don’t print nearly enough I guess. But when I need to print I need to print you know. I ordered a HP envy inspire 7955e (arrives tomorrow) to replace it because the HP rep said they wouldn’t dry as easily. I have used some aftermarket it from time to time, would your products help me save my canon printer or is it good enough to save? What all in one printer should I invest in I don’t need fax but I do like photo printing capabilities…. Thanks in advance

Excellent overview. You convinced me to go with Epson. I hate the company but they do make good printers. I have been running an Epson NX420 with CISS attached. It finally refuses to print re unrecognized ink. One question not answered. Are these mega- tanked printers refillable or are the bottles just bigger cartridges. I want to be able to buy my ink and simply pour it in.

Some of the canon printers allow you to replace the print heads at a relatively low cost, meaning your whole printer is not rendered useless, and you can replace the heads should they get blocked
So why do you not include which printer has a removable waste ink container or absorber pads As all ink jet dump ink which eventually results in the printer stopping.

The Eco Tanks Do.
Thank you so much for your channel. I've always preferred Epson and now that it's time to replace my WF-3620 you've got me sold on the EcoTank. I've looked into the 3760 and it seems great except for one thing which I hope you can clarify for me. For my use full duplex scanning is necessary and in talking to Epson and reading Amazon reviews I'm getting conflicting information as to whether I can just put my stack in the scanner and it will scan both sides. One review mentioned that a scanning firmware update was needed and then this unit could do that. I suspect that people are turned around in the meaning of the terms (possibly me also, I just know what I need for it to do). Can you give me a final answer? Thanks!

Hi, for double sided printing and low printing costs for homeschooling I would recommend the Epson ET 3850. You can get even cheaper ink by using remanufactured ink. As for the printhead clogging most printers you buy bottle based or not have that flaw. But yes to avoid the clogging you will want to actually intentionally print every 1-2 weeks maximum. I hope this helps, congrats on homeschooling!

Here's a question that I never see asked/answered. What's the best printer(longevity of ink) under circumstances where you don't print much? I've found that ink cartridge printers seem to "dry up" after a few months. Pretty much a waste of money when you print mostly shipping labels and the occasional random thing here or there.
