The Epson ET-2650 is a solid contender in the budget racket not because of its initial price but rather because its huge cost saving potential over the printer’s lifetime, thanks to its Ecotank ink system that steers away from cartridges.

The ink set that comes with the printer alone is plenty enough for it to survive for about two years without a refill as long as your average monthly print volumes are more or less 150 pages. Add to this its wireless support, which enables printing without plugging in the USB cable.

Features and Highlights

Print More at Lower Cost

Ditching the pricey cartridges enables the printer to reduce its operational costs significantly. A comparable cartridge printer may need to go through over 20 ink cartridge replacements just to match the ink volume that the Epson ET-2650’s tanks can handle.

One Device, Three Functions

Anyone familiar with printers can tell from the Epson ET-2650’s physical shape that it can do more than printing. The printer’s top cover is a lid that reveals a glass platen once it is lifted, allowing users to place one or more paper — which depends on the paper size — onto the platen for scanning or copying.

Refillable Tanks

Since the Epson ET-2650 is a 4-color printer, it uses four separate refillable tanks to hold each color. The see-through window on each tank makes it easier for users to check if any of them needs a refill. Unlike a cartridge printer, this one uses ink bottles for refills.

About Epson ET-2650 Resetter

Inside the Epson ET-2650 there is a box containing a pack of sponges, which are helpful when they are functional but will brick the printer once they are considered full. The internal counter is the component that makes the estimation on whether they are already full or not.

The most terrible part of this situation is that the printer lacks a user-friendly option to fix it, which leads many users to believe that the whole thing is just an unethical tactic to earn more money. Thankfully, the official tool to fix it, which is supposedly distributed only for certain regions, is made available to public unofficially.

Epson thinks it has the right to block you from using your printer just because some sponges allegedly can no longer do what they are supposed to do properly. The claim that it is all for the sake of users would have been more believable if the manual had informed how to replace the ink pads and reset the counter manually.

Instead, the manual is written in such a way to lead consumers into thinking that the only way to solve the situation is to rely on Epson, whether it is by contacting the company for support or asking help from an Epson authorized service provider, both of which benefits the company.

That said, rather than the disappointment over the business practice, wanting to fix the printer quickly for free is probably why most users have sought out this reset tool. You can click the link below to download Epson ET-2650 for Windows:
