    Cartridge-free printing
    The star of the ET-4500 is its newly designed integrated ultra-high-capacity ink tank system, which completely does away with the need for ink cartridges. That means less fuss and much more printing between refills than other inkjet printers.

    Easy to use
    As well as doing away with ink cartridges, the ET-4500 has four colour 70ml Epson genuine ink bottles in the box, which make it easy, clean and quick to fill the ink tanks.

    Ultra-low cost
    Save 90% on ink costs on average1 with the ET-4500. It achieves an ultra-low cost per page, printing up to 4,500 pages in black and 7,500 pages in colour2 at just a fraction of a penny per page3.

    Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity
    Equipped with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, the ET-4500 can take advantage of all Epson Connect4 features. Print quickly and easily over Wi-Fi from a smartphone using the free Epson iPrint app, print remotely or email the ET-4500 a print job.

    Quick, quality results
    The ET-4500 uses Epson's own Micro Piezo technology for excellent-quality print-outs. Mono prints are delivered at a rate of 9.2 pages per minute while it can issue 4.5 colour pages per minute5. A 30-page ADF helps boost productivity.

We all know how the "starter" cartridges bundled with inkjet printers tend to run out in a matter of weeks, pushing you onto costly replacements. Not so the Epson EcoTank ET-4500: it comes with enough black ink in the box to print 4,000 mono pages, and 6...

What is the Epson EcoTank ET-4500? Second to print quality, the most important factor in any printer purchase is running costs, with many people complaining of the perceived high costs of ink cartridges. Epson has tackled this problem with its range of Ec...

  • If page costs are your primary concern then Epson's EcoTank ET-4500 delivers, with running costs lower than any other inkjet we can think of. However, the rest of the machine is very low spec – more like a £60 all-in-one than one costing £300. So while yo...

Economy ClassEpson's EcoTank inkjet printers reverse the customary printer/ink strategy. Small and expensive cartridges are replaced by a continuous ink supply from much bigger user-filled tanks, but the initial purchase price of the printer goes up. Apar...
  • The Epson ET-4500 and its EcoTank siblings are essentially document printers rather than photo printers, although they're capable enough in all departments. Perhaps the key words for the Epson EcoTank printers are “convenience” and “usage”.In many respect...

  • Saying sayonara to overpriced ink cartridges is a very satisfying feeling, and being able to see the ink levels through clear plastic windows is also comforting. You can keep them topped up with the bottles that come bundled in the box whenever you like...
  • This bulky and tired form-factor isn't the most practical for a small office as it cannot be stowed easily, nor does it allow papers to be stacked on top. And with the overhanging ink tanks, this is a rather bulbous and awkward machine to accommodate, Eas...
  • There's no doubt that the EcoTank system is a revelation after years of overpaying for ink cartridges. Refilling the five tanks by hand is almost fun and being able to see the levels means you should never be surprised by a lack of ink again. If Epson's f...

Disclaimer Epson EcoTank ET-4500 :

(1) Average saving for printing the number of pages using the bundled ink bottles with the EcoTank range, excluding hardware price. Comparison made on the average of the A4 EcoTank range versus the average of the top 10 best-selling models in Western Europe, in the period January 2017– December 2017, as tracked by GfK.
Printing costs calculated on the proportion of Standard and XL cartridges as tracked by GfK for the same reference period for the Western European market, using average retail prices. Ink cartridge yields as communicated by the manufacturer's websites
2. Quoted yields are extrapolated based on Epson original methodology from the print simulation of Test Patterns provided in ISO/IEC 24712 with replacement sets of ink. Quoted yields are NOT based on ISO/IEC 24711. Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature. During the initial printer setup, a certain amount of ink is used to fill the print head's nozzles, therefore the yield of the initial bundled set can be lower.
3. Cost per page calculated by ink bottle RRP divided by quoted ink yield
4. Epson iPrint requires a wireless connection and the Epson printing app. Epson Email print, Epson Remote print driver and Epson scan-to-cloud require an internet connection. For more information, supported languages and devices, please visit www.epsonconnect.eu
5. Determined in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734 showing the average of ESAT from the Office Category Test for default simplex. For more information visit www.epson.eu/testing
