EcoTank Pro ET-5850
#5 in Printer · Rated 4.3
High-volume business all-in-one with ultra-low ink cost
The EcoTank Pro ET-5850 is Epson’s flagship refillable-tank color MFP for light-to-medium office workloads. It uses four dye/pigment ink tanks and ships with substantial ink in the box, enabling thousands of pages before a refill. Features include duplex printing, a duplex auto document feeder, multiple trays, and robust security/management options suitable for small offices. The Pro ET-5850 is designed to minimize running costs over years of use, delivering one of the lowest per-page costs among color inkjets. It’s a strong choice for teams that print high volumes of text with occasional graphics and need a capable scanner and copier. The main trade-off is size and price, which are higher than entry-level inkjets and laser options.
