5 Things to Know About the Epson EcoTank ET-4850

Each set of four high-capacity ink bottles yields up to 7,500 color pages and 4,500 black pages. That is not a typo — the color yield is higher than the black yield.

You will replace color bottles at the same pace as black bottles. This is unusual for inkjets, where color ink typically runs out first.

The ET-4850 uses the same cartridge-free tank system as the rest of the EcoTank family. There is no special technology here — just high-capacity bottles.

The ink bottle models are C13T03V through C13T03Y. These are the four bottles you need for a full set.

The high page yield makes this printer suitable for heavy color printing. If you print mostly black documents, a different model may be more cost-effective.
