Hands on: I tried out the Epson EcoTank ET-2830 - see how this cheap inkjet holds up

This review first appeared in issue 353 ofPC Pro. Well come back to the latter, but the first is explained by this MFPs refillable ink tanks. Its better value out of the box than a comparable entry-level, cartridge-based machine. These ink tanks make all the difference, turning this MFP into a bargain And entry-level the ET-2830 is. Instead, you get a few buttons and LEDs, and a reasonably appealing and uncluttered design....
