Epson has a long history in the field of printing. In 1968, the world's first compact electronic printer, the EP-101, was manufactured, and it was highly acclaimed. In the following decade, Epson released 7-pin and 9-pin printers, and gradually developed into the world's leading printer manufacturer.
 
Since the release of its first commercial machine, the SQ-2000, Epson has continued to develop inkjet printers, even in the face of the onslaught of laser printers. Compared with laser printers, the biggest drawback of inkjet printers is the high cost of consumables in the later stage. After clarifying the pain points of inkjet products, Epson took the lead in launching inkjet cartridge printers, which support ultra-large capacity ink cartridges, and the printing volume reaches thousands or even tens of thousands of pages, which is more than ten times that of conventional inkjet printers. At the same time, the ink cartridge printer adopts micro-piezoelectric printing technology, which can effectively avoid the chemical reaction of the ink at high temperature and damage the print head, and effectively prolong the service life of the print head. Since the launch of the Epson ink canopy, it has attracted a large number of consumers to buy, and other brands have followed suit.
 
In terms of products, Epson focuses on the ink cartridge printer series, and the product highlights are mainly reflected in two aspects. One is the four-color independent ink cartridge, which can be added and used when a certain color is exhausted, which is very convenient. The second is that the ink cartridge adopts an intelligent ink filling system, and some mainstream inkjet printers on the market currently support continuous supply, and directly fill ink into the ink cartridge without replacing the ink cartridge. Epson's intelligent ink filling system is similar to this continuous supply mode, but it is more accurate, and the ink filling port is designed so that one color can only correspond to one ink filling port, which will not be filled by mistake and is not easy to splash.
 
Epson's overall market positioning is relatively high, with prices starting at 700 yuan. The L-Series is aimed at home users, and the larger the model number, the richer the functionality. L100 is an entry-level product, with copy scanning functionL300 series is a hot product in the market, not only has far more than similar products to print, but also equipped with puzzle printing function, the fly in the ointment is that it does not support wireless transmission, can only be connected through USB, the series is priced at about 1000 yuan. L400 and L500 series belong to the flagship series, with WiFi and wireless direct connection, the price is 400-800 yuan higher than L300. It is worth reminding that the Epson ink cartridge type has an ink cartridge detection sensor, which can detect the status of the ink cartridge and cannot print with a single ink cartridge, so you should always have spare ink when using.
 
The WF series Epson was developed for commercial scenarios. The new model WF-100 is designed for mobile office, the price is close to 3000 yuan, the body size is 30cm×15cm×6.5cm, the size is no different from the notebook, there is no sense of weight in the briefcase, and it supports USB power supply, suitable for users with mobile printing needs.
 
As mentioned earlier, the ink cartridge type has been widely respected since its introduction because the cost of consumables is cheaper than that of general inkjet printers. Like the commonly used T6721 series ink, a set of four-color ink can print 4000 pages of black text and 6500 pages of color text, according to the official recommended price, black ink is sold at 50 yuan, and a single bottle of color ink is priced at 60 yuan, and you can get a printing cost of 1.5 points/page. Of course, the actual service life of consumables varies from environment to environment, but such data is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary inkjet printers.
