Epson EcoTank ET-15000 with 522 Cyan Bottle - Wide Format Supertank

Our review of the Epson EcoTank ET-15000 with the included 522 Cyan bottle finds a wide-format all-in-one that suits small offices and creative users who need low running costs and large prints. The biggest reason to consider this model is its cartridge-free EcoTank design with ultra-high-capacity replacement bottles that can deliver thousands of pages and dramatically lower cost per color ISO page compared with cartridges. Setup and daily use are straightforward for those who value big-format output up to 13 in x 19 in and minimal cartridge waste.

Key Features

• Cartridge-free printing: Supersized refillable ink tanks eliminate cartridges and reduce recurring waste and expense.
• Ultra-high-capacity bottles: The included 522 ultra-high-capacity cyan bottle and matching set options provide thousands of pages per replacement set.
• Low running cost: Epson states savings up to 90 percent on ink cost with low-cost replacement bottles, lowering cost per color ISO page to about 1 cent versus 20 cents with cartridges.
• Wide-format output: Rear feed supports prints up to 13 in x 19 in for posters, photos, and large documents that many desktop printers cannot handle.
• All-in-one functionality: Scanner, copier and fax plus an automatic document feeder let the ET-15000 handle multi-page scans up to 8.5 in x 14 in and everyday office tasks.
• Business-friendly connectivity: Built-in Ethernet and wireless printing simplify network setup for small teams.

Who It's For

This printer is best for small business owners, photographers doing occasional wide-format prints, and office users who prioritize low ink cost and high page yield. The large ink bottles and claim of printing for up to two years per bottle set make it a good match for moderate to heavy monochrome and color workloads where replacing cartridges often would be inconvenient.

It is less suited to buyers who need compact, portable printers or who require extremely consistent, professional photo lab output without occasional user troubleshooting. Users who are uncomfortable with refillable tanks or who need guaranteed support for non-genuine ink should look elsewhere due to warranty and compatibility guidance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very low ongoing ink cost when using Epson replacement bottles, making it economical over time.
• Wide-format printing up to 13 in x 19 in from a desktop all-in-one adds creative flexibility.
• Supersized tanks and ultra-high-capacity bottles greatly reduce refill frequency and cartridge waste.
• All-in-one features including ADF, scanner and fax support typical office workflows.

Cons

• Some customers report occasional reliability issues such as paper jams or devices stopping, so performance can vary in real-world use.
