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 make sure that we do all of our baking on the same day, so that we don’t use the energy-hogging oven more than necessary.

  3. Love the refillable ink compartments with ink provided for up to 6,200 pages. The 13″ x 19″ print area provides a lot of flexibility.

  5. I have had so many printers, over the years and would really like I like that this printer is can also copy and scan and not have to buy cartridges but refill from a bottle.

  7. We freeze all vegetable skins/trimmings from meal prep and use them in the winter to make soup broth.

  8. We do a lot in our home to help the environment but one habit we started is to fill our water filter with the leftover water in our kettle every morning. It’s a small action but over time we save a lot of money vs just pouring it down the drain.

  22. Our household has been recycling for more than 25 years. We recycle everything we can. We believe in protecting our environment, for ourselves and generations to come.

  23. I recycle everything our town will allow. Our weekly blue recycle bag is usually more full than our regular garbage bag.

  24. We are wearing our clothes until they need replacing and no more fleece to help prevent micro plastics going into our water supply.

  27. Each ink bottle set is equivalent of 100 ink cartridges! That’s more money in my pocket and less bottles in the ladnfill! 2 green things right there! Gotta have that wifi for wireless printing fosho!

  28. I have made a native landscape with lots of plants that attract birds, bees, and other wildlife. All organic.

  30. I like that the ink supplied replaces 100 cartridges, it lasts up to 2 years & that it is wifi capable!!!

  33. I stopped buying cotton rounds & paper towels. I now use those re-usable / machine washable / biodegrable kind!

  37. I am using VR to learn how sculpt things instead of using clay that would probably be thrown away.

  39. I like that the ink supplied replaces 100 cartridges and can last up to 2 years and that it is wifi capable
