AI-generated summary
At £866.96 ex-VAT, the Epson EcoTank ET-16605 is a serious commitment—but it’s the right kind of commitment if you’re trying to drive down running costs on A3 inkjet and you actually print enough to justify it. The EcoTank concept really shines where you print regularly: everyday documents, internal brochures, worksheets, and even frequent colour outputs. If you want something “set it and forget it,” with Wi‑Fi for day-to-day office use and a tank-based system that avoids the constant cartridge-buying rhythm, this makes a lot of sense. In a UK SME setting, it’s especially good for teams that want reliable output without constantly worrying about ink budgets.
I’d be cautious if your printing is sporadic or mostly black-and-white—then you’ll feel the upfront price more than the long-term savings. Also, if you need peak speed for high-volume production runs, don’t buy this expecting laser-like workflows; inkjet is a different “feel,” and delays/throughput can matter depending on your use case. If your users print occasionally but need A3 on demand, you might consider whether a cheaper, cartridge-based A3 solution—or even outsourcing/copy partners for bursts—would be more cost-effective. Bottom line: buy it if colour/A3 is part of your real workload and you want predictable costs; skip it if it’s mainly a “nice to have” printer.
