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.

  1. We have our own compost in the backyard to help give our vegetable garden the nutrients it needs for delicious vegetables in the fall. The city compost only gets the fat and/or bones.

  4. I don’t always flush the toilet, when I pee, reducing water waste, and I have sensors on all the lights in my house to turn off automatically

  14. I reuse unrecyclable trash into crafts! It keeps stuff out of the landfill and its a fun hobby. The coolest things about the printer are the smudge-free printing (which will be handy for my miniature printing!) and the ability to print on cardstock!

  16. We make special trips to the recycling depot for things that can’t be picked up by the weekly recycling truck and we compost as much as possible.

  18. Our family recycles everything including old batteries, wood, car oil, etc. So there are many things we like about this printer; the wireless capability allows all of use to use it, we would save time and money from not changing cartridges as often as we do now, we can print high quality CAD drawings on larger format, and we’ll be helping the environment by not throwing out so many used cartridges. Using the Epson Ecotank Photo ET-8550 Wireless Supertank Printer is like celebrating Earth day every time we print.

  22. Nothing too unique 90% of the lights are LED, high efficiency washer, dryer. Recycle or compost everything possible.

  23. We recycle and compost what we can on our region and we also reuse what we can before we deem it end of life.

  34. I love that with this printer reduces waste by eliminating cartridges, and the cost savings certainly help.
