Read our full Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 review.
The upfront price may be high, but the combination of quality, features and super-low operating expenses make this one of the best investments you can make for your office. But the real draw is the ink savings, extremely low per-page costs of 0.4 cents for text pages, and 1.6 cents per color page. That same quick, high-quality performance was also seen in copying and scanning, making it the printer of choice for offices that need a full featured multifunction printer. In timed printer tests, the Epson ET-5850 delivered some of the fastest printing we've seen, and produced crisp, clear text that nearly rivals laser printer quality. The printer boasts scan, copy and fax capability, dual 250-page paper cassettes, a 50-sheet automatic document feeder and a large, easy-to-use 4.3-inch touchscreen for convenient operations. A small business printer rated to print more than 3,000 pages per month, it's more than capable of handling whatever your team might throw at it. The EcoTank design uses refillable ink tanks and comes with enough spare ink bottles to print thousands of pages. The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 combines impressively low ink costs with an abundance of business-friendly features to take its place as the best small business inkjet printer we've reviewed. Occasional paper feed issue -High initial price Really, our only big complaint with the Pixma TR8620 is the above average cost of ink, due partially to the expense of the extra ink cartridge. We liked it so much, we named it one of the best printers in our 2021 Tom's Guide Awards.
Text and color graphics all look great, but we noted that glossy photos printed impressively fast, and the use of a 5-ink cartridge system with two types of black ink resulted in photos with high-quality accuracy: Natural-looking colors, sharp details and smooth transitions. It's also a great home printer, with faster-than-average print speeds and high print quality overall. A big 4.3-inch color touchscreen makes it easy to control, and the printer supports smart home integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The Canon Pixma TR8620 offers plenty of office features, from scanning and faxing to a 20-page automatic document feeder (ADF), a duplexer for two-sided printing, and two paper trays for keeping two types of paper at the ready. Ink costs are above average -Does not make two-sided copies/scans via ADF Read our full Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review. That same zippy speed and above-average quality was found in scans and copies, making it a great choice for anyone, even if you aren't buying it for the affordable ink. And it did all of this while delivering high print quality across the board. Print speeds beat the category average and two-sided printing is among the fastest we've seen. On top of that, the Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW offers solid printing, scanning and copying. The all-in-one inkjet printer features extra-large ink cartridges, and comes with an estimated years' supply of ink in the box, which adds up to the lowest per-page ink costs we've seen. If you want one of the best home printers with the most affordable ink, we recommend the Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW. There's much more to the cost of a printer than just the purchase price: Ink costs can eat away the savings you expected from your affordable device.
