Supertank Printer Showdown in Canada: Epson ST-2000, ST-3000, and ST-4000 Compared
The Epson Supertank is a 3-in-1 printer that can scan, copy, and print. It has a built-in scanner for scanning and copying documents. It supports up to A4 paper size with incredible clarity and prints in black and white or color. Today, we’re going to compare three Epson Supertank printers.
The Epson ST-2000 is the cheapest model on offer coming at $329(CAD); while the ST-3000 is priced slightly higher at $465(CAD) but comes with Ethernet, a faster print speed, and higher page capacity of 150 pages. Finally, the most expensive model, the Epson ST 4000, offers a larger page capacity of 250 as well as the ability to fax documents.
The Epson WorkForce ST-2000, ST-3000 and the ST-4000 all offer remarkable productivity for small businesses and those who work from home. They feature revolutionary cartridge-free printing with supersized ink tanks that last up to 2 years without having a refill. Furthermore, the ink bottles are low priced compared to regular ink cartridges, saving you up to 80 percent on ink.
All three of these printers offer low per page printing costs. For example, with the amount of ink that comes in the box of each printer, the estimated per page ink costs are just $0.0041 for black ISO pages and $0.0108 for color pages.
The Epson ST-2000, ST-3000 and ST-4000 models give you the ability to print wirelessly from tablets or smartphones. Both the ST-3000 and ST-4000 come with Ethernet connectivity. You can also enjoy easy two-sided printing with these wireless printers.
The Epson ST-2000 model provides the highest resolution at 5760 dpi, though the other two printers have an impressive dpi of 4,800. On the other hand, the Epson ST-3000 and ST-4000 both have a faster print speed and higher paper capacity, which may be needed in busier small offices.
For businesses with monthly print volume between 400 and 2,500 pages, any of these three Epson Supertank printers would be an outstanding choice.
