AI-generated summary
If you’re trying to cut the cost of printing per page, Epson’s EcoTank line is the one to look at, and the ET‑M1170 fits that “keep it running, don’t feed it cartridges” brief nicely. At ~£251 ex-VAT, it’s decent value for an office or small workgroup that prints regularly (think admin, invoices, documents) and wants predictable running costs over time. The Wi‑Fi is genuinely handy in real setups—no faffing with cables, and it’s easy to drop into an existing workgroup.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if your usage is very light or mostly occasional printouts. Inkjet economics only really shine when you print often enough to avoid drying/cleaning cycles and to make the tank investment worthwhile. Also, if you need consistent, high-volume output for lots of mixed media (or you care deeply about crisp, fast print speed), you may find yourself wanting a different class of printer. Overall: good choice for cost-conscious SMEs that print enough to make tank ink pay off; less ideal for sporadic, “print a few pages now and then” scenarios.
