SPECIFICATIONS

The Epson EcoTank ET‑4800 is a cartridge‑free “supertank” all‑in‑one printer intended for home offices or small offices that want the flexibility of print, scan, copy, and fax in a compact footprint. The emphasis is on low running cost (thanks to refillable ink tanks) and versatility (wireless + Ethernet + ADF).

It’s a mid‑level inkjet multifunction machine, not a high‑end business model, so it balances features with cost.

🛠 Key Specifications & Features

Here are the main specs (from Epson and retailer sources) and what they mean in practice:

Feature Spec / Detail Notes / implications
Printing Technology 4‑color dye ink, Micro Piezo print head Standard for inkjets in this class 
Maximum Print Resolution 5,760 × 1,440 dpi Fine detail possible, especially for color / graphics 
Print Speed (ISO / typical) • ~10 ppm (black)
• ~5 ppm (color) 		 Relatively modest; expected for an all‑in‑one inkjet
Max (non‑ISO) Speed Claims Up to ~33 ppm monochrome, ~15 ppm color (for plain paper) “Burst” or non‑standard speed claims — typically only under optimal conditions
Duplex / Two‑Sided Printing Manual only (you have to flip pages yourself)  There is no built‑in automatic duplex printing
Scanner / ADF • Flatbed scanner + 30‑sheet ADF 
• Optical resolution ~1,200 × 2,400 dpi 		 The ADF is useful for multi‑page jobs, but it scans one side at a time (non‑duplex)
Fax Built‑in fax (33.6 kbps) with memory (up to ~100 pages) and speed dial support  It includes standard fax features suitable for small offices
Paper Handling • Input tray / cassette: 100 sheets standard 
• Output tray ~30 sheets 
• Supports media sizes: up to ~215.9 mm × 355.6 mm (≈ up to US Legal + custom sizes) 
• Paper weight: supports a wide range (64–300 g/m²) for special media 		 It’s modest capacity, so large print jobs might need frequent refills or splits
Ink / Yield / Cost • Ships with ink bottles: 522 Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow — first set yields ~3,600 pages black / 6,500 pages color 
• Replacement bottles yield ~4,500 black / 7,500 color 
• Cost savings: manufacturers claim up to ~90–95% savings vs cartridge printers 		 Running cost is a major strength; refill system reduces recurring cartridge waste
Connectivity • Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Wi-Fi Direct 
• Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) 
• USB (Hi-Speed) 
• Mobile print support: Epson iPrint / Smart Panel, AirPrint, Mopria, Epson Connect (Email Print, Remote Print) 		 Good connectivity options make it flexible for mixed device environments
Display / UI 3.7 cm color LCD panel for settings and navigation  Simple but functional interface
Power & Efficiency • Approx. 12 W active, ~4.5 W ready, ~0.7 W sleep, ~0.2 W off mode 
• ENERGY STAR qualified / low standby consumption		 Low power usage when idle is good for frequent use over time
Dimensions & Weight ~ 375 × 347 × 237 mm (W × D × H); weight ~5 kg Fairly compact and lightweight for a multifunction machine
Warranty 12 months carry‑in + bonus extension if registered; page limits in some regions  Standard warranty; always check what’s covered in your region

✅ Strengths & Advantages

  • Low ongoing cost / ink efficiency
      Because it uses refillable tanks instead of cartridges, the running cost per page is much lower. Epson claims savings up to ~90–95%. 

  • Flexible connectivity
      With Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and USB, you can integrate it into various setups (wired network, cordless printing, mobile devices).

  • All-in-one functionality
      It combines printing + scanning + copying + fax + ADF in one compact unit, making it convenient for a home office or small business.

  • Good resolution / graphic support
      The high dpi and quality print head allow detailed color and photo work (within the limitations of inkjet).

  • Compact and relatively lightweight
      At ~5 kg, it’s easier to place or relocate compared to heavier office machines.

  • Energy efficient
      Low standby/sleep power consumption helps reduce electricity cost over time.

Best Use Cases & Match Scenarios

This printer is well suited when:

  • You have moderate printing needs with balanced color and black/white output in a home office or small business.

  • You value low cost per page over raw print speed.

  • You often print graphics, photos, or color documents (presentations, flyers), but not at extremely high volumes.

  • You want an all-in-one setup but don’t need heavy-duty office features (like auto-duplex ADF).

  • Space or weight matters — this is more compact and lighter than many office laser or high-end multifunction printers.
