  1. Yields based on the ISO/IEC 24712 pattern with Epson's methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink colour. All ink colours are used for printing and printer maintenance, and all colours must be available for printing so an additional black (K) bottle may be required to reach stated colour (C, M, Y) yields.
  2. Actual savings and costs will vary considerably based on print tasks, print volumes and usage conditions. Savings and cost per ISO page are based on the cost of replacement ink bottles and the cost of enough standard cartridges to achieve the total page yields of the bottles using the RRP (AUD) and yields for Epson High-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured Epson consumer inkjet printers as of November 2023.
  3. Adapter may be required.
  4. Most features require an Internet connection to the printer, as well as an Internet and/or email-enabled device. See connect for a list of Epson Connect enabled printers and compatible devices and Apps.
  5. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED, level of performance subject to the range of the router being used. Wi-Fi Direct may require printer software.

Featuring 6-colour inks, the EcoTank Photo ET-8550 wireless all-in-one offers revolutionary cartridge-free printing with easy-to-fill ink tanks. It comes with enough ink in the box to print 1000s of pages1 equivalent to about 100 individual cartridges2. That’s an incredible amount of ink — enough to print documents up to 4,900 pages, or 1,800 photos (4" x 6")1. Plus, it features Epson® exclusive auto-stop ink Claria ET Premium bottles, with each colour uniquely keyed for easy filling of each tank. The ET-8550 also prints borderless up to A3+ and includes paper and photo trays, plus built-in USB/card slots3.

OUR MOST ADVANCED ECOTANK PRINTER

PRINTING FREEDOM

For one upfront price, the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 printer comes with enough ink in the box so you can print 5,500 pages in black1 / 4,900 pages in colour1 without worrying about ongoing ink replacement and costs.

HIGH-VOLUME INK BOTTLES

Additional low-cost ink can be bought in convenient high-volume bottles that have a drip-free nozzle and resealable cap for easy storage and refilling. We have redesigned our ink bottles to incorporate a unique key system. Each bottle is keyed so that it only fits into the corresponding ink tank on the printer, thus preventing mis-filling or spillage. Replacement bottles hold enough ink for a massive 6,700 pages in black1 / 6,200 pages in colour1.
