This is Epson's entry-level 3-in-1 EcoTank, built for home offices and students who want to stop buying expensive ink cartridges. It prints, scans, and copies, and the included ink bottles give you a ridiculous 4,500 pages in black and 7,500 in color. The trade-off is that it's USB-only and slow for color prints—but if you want the lowest possible cost per page on a budget, this is a genuine workhorse.
