I'm going to push back a little regarding Epson, although I'm hoping someone with direct experience will reply with useful feedback.
The 'ultra-high capacity' black ink bottle (T542) used by many of these printers is only 127ml. Further, from the user guide it appears that Epson recommends using the entire bottle to refill the printer (truthfully, I have not been able to find specs on the actual ink capacity of any of the ecotank or supertank printers) and does not recommend storing the bottle after having been opened. This doesn't really seem like bulk ink to me.
- andromeduck 6y agoYeah I bought one of the first gen Ecotanks for a college clubs when it came out. IIRC the bottles and the reservoirs come in two sizes, the normal ones and the double sized ones like the T542. One bottle is enough to refill up to the line so the use case is just to refill when the tank is almost empty. So I don't think we ran into this because someone ended up breaking it a few years later but looks like it still has some counter bullshit for the waste ink pad but it looks like you can work around that fairly easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDi4YdzXkD8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDi4YdzXkD8
