Which Tank Printer Should You Buy? HP V Epson V Canon

Your videos are really priceless Brandon! It is because of you that I went out and purchased the Epson ET-3710 EcoTank printer and I love it!! Have never really had any problems with it and will never go back to ink cartridge printers again!!! Your videos are so invaluable when it comes to purchasing and using printers that I'm really surprised you don't have more subscribers!!! 👍😁

You definitely covered most important factors very well. But how about the actual print quality?? Visually? How do printings of the same document look among the three you compare here??

Lot of people do reviews, I did like the way you did your review on the hp, Epson & Canon printers on this stream. Good points to compare, did not overdue any bias you would have on which products you like better, yet still gave us your recommendation based on your experiences. I'm kind of a particular type of person so I thought you did a good job. Thanks.

I’ve had both the Canon Megatank and the Brother EcoTank. The ecotank clogged so bad I couldn’t unclog it because I didn’t use it often. The Megatank handles a lot better if you don’t use it often

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

Very helpful! thank you so much! I am looking to buy a tank printer for small business/work from home needs and your content has certainly been able to provide some good direction! If you end up taking a look at this comment, do let me know what you think about the the Epson EcoTank Pro or Canon Maxify Megatank. Do you prefer one over the other personally and if yes, which model?

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.

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.

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.

Hello...I'm glad I can across your page. You are very knowledgeable about these printers. I have a Epson Echotank 2803. I've only had ot for 6 months. I converted it into a sublimation printer. Two of the colors stopped printing. I have been googling how to clean the printeeheads for this particular printer and I see none. I was wondering how to I get to the printerhead on this one. If you can help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Love to see the growth in the newer videos. You’ve come so far, keep it up! ❤

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.

Love your video - best information. I am going to replace my HP OLD printer with an Epson ET whatever. I need the ability to resize - make larger - from the program on the touch screen on the printer. My HP had envy had this capability. Which Epson ET do you recommend for this? I print black and white for classes I teach, BUT I also paint, so I take lots of photos that I print in color as references for my paintings.

Which of the Epson eco tank for personal home use - basics usage of printer regular document printing for my club and board meetings.

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.

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?

I have a problem printing black with the new canon printers with pigment ink, full page black is very patchy even with new cartridge in standard mode, high mode is very wet. On the otherhand Printing in matte paper results in Grey color and not true black

How about Epson ET 1810 model if I'm ok with missing scanner and copier, the quality and life of the model is what I'm concerned about. Also would like to know if it will be ok to use it for cards of approx. 280 gsm papers as the paper tray in not supportive.

Is there a Epson Printer that has a SD card intake that you recommend??
