I actually used to review their printers when working for computer magazines in the 90s, so I was interested to see how the technology has evolved since then. They just asked if I’d like to test the printer as I would in a normal video, so I’ll be presenting the pros and cons as I see them, from installation and features through to quality, speed and running costs. It’ll also print on CDs, DVDs or PVC ID cards.Įpson sponsored my video below, but didn’t influence my tests or edit my opinion before publishing. ![]() The Epson EcoTank ET-18100 is an A3+ photo printer which uses six refillable ink tanks, making it cheaper to run than traditional cartridge-based models. ![]() Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book, an official Cameralabs T-shirt or mug, or treat me to a coffee!

Meanwhile if archive lifespans are important to you, a pigment-based system may be more appropriate, but for high volume photo printing up to A3+ at home or in an office, the EcoTank 18100 is an excellent option with low running costs. If you mostly print black and white, you may prefer a system with additional grey ink, but I have no complaints with the monochrome results from the 18100. Text-based documents on plain paper looked good too. And most importantly the six-ink engine delivered excellent quality on my test prints, especially when fed with glossy photo paper. But with easy wireless printing from your phone or computer, I didn’t miss having additional connectivity or a built-in screen for feedback. Epson’s stripped back the features to meet a price point, so there’s no built-in screen, no memory card slot or ethernet port, and no digital feedback on ink levels either. Summary The Epson EcoTank 18100 is an affordable entry to A3+ photo printing with the low running costs of refillable ink tanks. ![]()
