Buying call

The ET-2850 trades cartridges for refillable ink tanks that last thousands of pages, with good print quality, fast two-sided text printing and quick black-and-white scanning. It's simple to use. The small LCD isn't a touchscreen, there's a single paper tray, color photo scans are slow, and photo prints aren't its strength.
