Multifunctionele printer Epson EcoTank ET-M3170 inkjet monochroom printen

The Epson EcoTank ET-M3170 is a multifunction inkjet mono printer designed for low running costs and reliable office use. Instead of toner cartridges it uses large refillable ink tanks supplied with ink bottles, providing enough ink from the start to print thousands of pages. The device supports A4 paper, offers Wi‑Fi and Ethernet connectivity, and combines printing, mono copying, colour scanning and faxing in a compact unit.

Advantages

The EcoTank design significantly reduces cost per page thanks to high-capacity refillable tanks and low-cost replacement ink bottles. The printer delivers fast first-page output and steady print speeds with no warm-up time, while the PrecisionCore printhead ensures consistent quality and reliability. An included one-year or 100,000-page warranty provides additional assurance. Energy consumption is lower than comparable mono laser models, helping reduce operating costs.

Recommendations

Refill tanks with genuine Epson replacement ink bottles to maintain print quality and yield. Use automatic double-sided printing to reduce paper use, and select the appropriate print quality setting to balance speed and ink consumption for everyday documents.
