What is a smart tank printer and what are the benefits of using a smart tank printer?
A smart tank printer uses an ink tank system instead of ink cartridges. Ink bottles are used to fill the ink reservoirs and these bottles typically come with the printer and can also be purchased separately. Smart tank printers have a higher upfront cost than cartridge printers, but they come with many benefits, such as cost efficiency in the long run.
Benefits of smart tank printers
- High capacity printing: Ink bottle refills last longer than cartridges.
- Cost efficiency: Ink bottles are less expensive than cartridges.
- Sustainability: Ink bottles are better for the environment because they have less plastic waste than cartridges and the bottles are refillable.
Should I choose ink tank printers (supertank printers) or traditional inkjet printers?
There are many factors to consider when choosing between an ink tank printer and a traditional inkjet printer.
Benefits of an ink tank printer
An ink tank printer has a higher initial cost, but it’s more cost efficient over time as it has a higher page yield per ink refill. It’s the ideal option for high volume printing, as long as you properly maintain the printheads to make sure you don’t run into print quality issues. Ink tank printers are also better for the environment because ink bottle refills have less plastic waste than cartridges.
Benefits of a cartridge inkjet printer
A cartridge inkjet printer has a lower initial cost and the cartridges are easy to replace. You’ll always get high quality prints from a cartridge inkjet printer. This kind of printer is a good choice for home offices or small offices that print less frequently. In fact, if you’re not printing often, an ink tank printer may not be a good choice because the ink could dry up before your team goes through it all.
In short, ink tank printers are more cost effective for high volume printing and they’re more environmentally friendly, but cartridge inkjet printers have a lower upfront cost and deliver high quality prints for offices that don’t need to print in large volumes.
