Earth day is a great time to familiarize yourself with eco-friendly printers like the Epson ET-8500 printer. As we march towards a greener and cleaner future, we’re always on the lookout for the latest sustainable and eco-friendly technologies. Epson’s new line of supertank printers help you reduce waste and increase productivity—and produce amazing high-quality prints. Learn why this printer is better for the planet and for you, then enter to win one for your home.

Two reasons why Epson EcoTank printers are better for the environment

Over the past few years I have used much less paper and print a lot less at home too. One of the most important reasons is that my children graduated from school and moved out. No more school projects to print. While they were in school I bet we used an ink cartridge every month or two. Parents, you know what I am talking about! Recycling and composting are activities that many of us are doing a lot more than even a decade ago. Purchasing products from companies creating sustainable tech, like Epson, is another way to help the planet.

The EcoTank printers from Epson are just what parents need: you’ll save money and you’ll be helping the environment.

Save money: Ink cartridges are not cheap! With an Epson ET-8550 you’ll just refill the ink reservoirs in the printer when the ink levels are low. You won’t ever buy another ink cartridge! In fact, the ink bottles this printer comes with have so much ink that my family would have gone years without needing to buy more. Each ink bottle set is equivalent of 100 ink cartridges.

Help the environment: Fewer ink cartridges in your shopping cart means less ink cartridge plastic in the environment. It also means less plastic packaging for those ink cartridges, less energy being used on ink cartridge production, and less travel back and forth to transport those ink cartridges. You can see how big a deal these printers are.

Celebrate Earth Day by spreading the news about Epson Ecotank printers 

Do you celebrate Earth Day? You can! You could host an Earth Day party: use an Epson eco-friendly printer to create the invitations. Okay perhaps not. Or you could petition the government to turn Earth Day into a stat holiday. That too may be a bit too extreme for most of us. Perhaps a simpler way to help the environment is to just tell friends and family about companies, like Epson, who are making an effort toward sustainability, creating technology that uses less plastic and consumes less energy. Even better when you save money at the same time as you do with an Epson printer!

Then tell your friends to read and follow these instructions and they might win one.

  4. We Use Energy Efficient Bulbs

    – Last longer than incandescent bulbs (fewer bulbs to replace).
    – Use a fraction of the energy to run.
    – Saves valuable energy resources & lowers your monthly energy bill.

    Our family is pursuing photography as a hobby which has been extremely fulfilling, inspiring & relaxing. For that reason the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 would be the perfect gift.

    – It prints sharp, smudge-free text, vivid color pages, and photo-shop quality photos on specialty paper.

    – Cartridge-free system uses 6 colors of ink you can refill with the included ink bottles.

    We believe in being eco-friendly and saving money. This printer offers both aspects. Love to be able to share some of our printed photos with Best Buy. Thanks for this opportunity.

    Cheers,

  7. We reduce waste and help the environment by not using too many plastic bags in school lunches. A bag of chips might need a bag, but almost everything goes into the reusable, washable lunch boxes.

  12. Two things that I like about this printer is the fact that you won’t contribute to single use plastics by needing a new ink cartridge when you run out of ink and that it would literally be years between needing to buy a new ink bottle because each ink bottle set is equal to 100 cartridges.

  13. One thing I do in my home to reduce waste and help the enviroment is to grow some of my own veggies instead of buying them from the store. This reduces transportation, packaging, etc. and I compost the unused remains so eventually turns back into soil to be able to grow new veggies.

  20. Composting is one innovative thing I do in my home to reduce waste and help the environment – thanks for the generous contest & chance to win!!

  22. One innovative thing that I do in my home to reduce waste and help the environment is creating my own cleaning products!

  28. We re-use food containers, cook dinners at home as much as possible, compost anything we can, donate to thrift stores, buy from thrift stores, be conscious of our purchases and the life of the item, repair what we can, buy goods made of natural fibres where possible

  32. Purchasing products from companies that are creating sustainable tech, such as Epson, is another way to help the planet.

  33. I really like that the printer doesn’t use ink cartridges which not only will save a ton of money it also mean that you don’t have to worry about running out of ink.
