The Pros and Cons of Tank Printers:

BARTOW, Fla. - EntSun -- What to Know Before You Buy a Tank Printer

Tank-based printers—like the Epson EcoTank, HP Smart Tank, Canon MegaTank, and Brother INKvestment Tank—have reshaped home and small business printing. They're known for their low running costs and reduced environmental impact, but there are some key considerations to keep in mind before investing.

Pros

1. Lower Cost per Page
These printers use refillable ink tanks instead of disposable cartridges, allowing you to print thousands of pages at a significantly lower cost.

2. Environmentally Friendly
Fewer plastic cartridges mean less waste. Refilling with bulk ink—especially from suppliers like InkProducts—reduces packaging waste and shipping emissions.

3. Ideal for High-Volume Printing
With yields up to 7,500 black and 6,000 color pages per refill, tank printers are well-suited for frequent use in homes, offices, and craft setups.

4. Specialty Ink Compatibility
Many Epson EcoTank models can be converted for sublimation printing, and select Canon MegaTank printers are compatible with edible inks—especially when paired with certified inks from InkProducts Inc.

Cons

1. Maintenance Box Replacement
Ink flushed during cleaning cycles collects in a waste pad or maintenance box, which must be replaced periodically—an often overlooked cost.

2. Built-In Page Counters
Some printers include page limits that trigger service warnings or disable the printer after a set count, regardless of actual condition.

3. Misleading Ink Promises
Marketing claims like "up to two years of ink" assume light usage. Regular photo or color printing consumes ink much faster.

4. Printhead Clogging
Infrequent use can cause ink to dry in the nozzles, leading to clogging. Tank printers perform best with regular weekly use.

5. Limited Convertibility
Epson EcoTanks are ideal for sublimation, but HP and Brother models often use closed systems. Only certain Canon MegaTank printers support edible ink—always check before converting.

6. Consumable Printheads
Some models, especially from Canon, use printheads considered consumable and may need to be replaced over time.
