Cartridge-Free Inkjet Printers

The Epson Expression ET-2750 Printer Saves Up to 80% on Ink

— January 30, 2018 — Tech
One of the biggest complaints with printers is the high cost of ink, so the Epson Expression ET-2750 has been created by the technology brand to offer consumers a way to save money on maintenance. The printer incorporates the Epson EcoTank design that enables users to simply refill the tanks rather than replacing cartridges to effectively eliminate the costly ink cartridges. The ink for the printer can be purchased in large bottles that will reduce printing costs by up to 80% to make the peripherals relevant for consumers who might be questioning whether or not it's cost-effective to keep their own unit.

The Epson Expression ET-2750 printer also enables users to print remotely on their smartphone, while a 1.44 inch LCD screen will offer previews of documents or photos to print.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Printers - The demand for printers that eliminate ink cartridges will increase as consumers are looking for sustainable and cost-efficient solutions for their printing needs.
2. Smartphone-enabled Printers - The integration of printers with smartphones will lead to innovation opportunities to enhance user experience and convenience.
3. Bulk Ink Purchases - The trend towards selling ink in large bottles will lead to new business models that disrupt traditional ink cartridge sales and distribution.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - Technology brands that offer innovative and eco-friendly printing solutions will gain a competitive advantage in the market.
2. Retail - Retailers that sell printers and ink cartridges will need to adapt to the shift towards bulk ink purchases and offer a wider range of eco-friendly printer options.
3. Printing - The printing industry will need to adapt to the changing consumer demands for sustainable and cost-efficient printing solutions to remain competitive.
