SeekerEpson EcoTank ET-3850
The Epson EcoTank ET-3850 is very good for small or home offices. It produces high-quality documents, and its ink tank yields an incredible amount of black or color pages, which is great for offices that print a lot. It prints black documents fairly quickly, but sadly, it's slow with color documents. Also, it doesn't support duplex scanning, so you'll have to scan double-sided sheets manually.

A slightly higher purchase cost is traded against low cost per page printing. However, the ET-3850 is a little flimsy in places. And while it can duplex print, sadly, it can’t duplex copy. Better than the ET-4700 in many respects, this is an ideal solution for those that want to reduce printing overheads dramatically.

Epson’s 3-in-1 lacks some basic features, but it prints well and slashes the cost of cartridges by up to 90 percent.
