EcoTank ET-4700 : Versatile 4-in-1 printer for your office"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In the world of printing there are as many types of models as the user needs.\u00a0Today we want to talk to you about a model that can become your ally if you have a medium-high print volume or want a team that is up to your professionalism.\u00a0I would not recommend it in a home environment where there is little printing, but\u00a0for an office or a company it can be a good purchase option.\u00a0We are talking about the\u00a0Epson EcoTank ET-4700\u00a0multifunction\u00a0, a model that is around 400 euros and that offers a lot of advantages and reasons for it to be chosen and not another.<\/p>\n<h3>Epson EcoTank ET-4700: Design<\/h3>\n<p>As we said, this\u00a0Epson ET-4700\u00a0is a model focused on a professional audience and this is reflected from the first glance.\u00a0It&#8217;s\u00a0375 x 347 x 237mm in size\u00a0and\u00a05kg\u00a0in weight\u00a0, making it a pretty robust printer.\u00a0It is available in\u00a0black\u00a0and highlights its front, in which a\u00a03.7-inch LCD screen\u00a0takes center stage\u00a0from which you can see all the information you need about your printing, possible errors that may arise during the process, folders, functions, ink status &#8230;\u00a0not touch, but you can scroll through the menus with the buttons that appear on the right side.\u00a0In this keypad, in addition to the navigation keys, a numeric keyboard also appears since, as we will see later, one of its functions is to send a fax.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Epson EcoTank ET-4700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Epson-EcoTank-ET-4700-4.jpg\" alt=\"Epson EcoTank ET-4700\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The loading of cartridges is in the front, something that we find very comfortable, however, we would have liked to see a loading of paper also in the front, in a type of closed tray that we have seen in other models and it seems to us the best option.\u00a0In this Epson EcoTank ET-4700 the paper is loaded at the back and is in vertical format, so it stands out from the printer itself.\u00a0Also in the back is the power and Ethernet port, something correct to try to hide the cables as much as possible, but also the USB, a port that should have been located elsewhere to make its access more convenient.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the design of this Epson EcoTank ET-4700 leaves us lights and shadows.\u00a0It is beautiful, elegant, strong and gives a very professional image to our office or office, however, it has some details that could have been polished, especially to make the user experience more comfortable.<\/p>\n<h3>Functions<\/h3>\n<p>This Epson EcoTank ET-4700 is a 4-in-1: you can\u00a0print, scan, copy and fax\u00a0(all in color or black and white, as you decide at the time).\u00a0It has a paper loading capacity of\u00a0100 sheets\u00a0, but keep in mind that the output capacity is\u00a030 sheets\u00a0.\u00a0That is, every 30 pages you will have to empty the tray so that it does not get stuck.<\/p>\n<p>It prints double-sided\u00a0, which is extremely useful, but you have to know that it\u00a0does not scan or copy double-sided.\u00a0The print speed is\u00a033 ppm\u00a0for black and white documents or\u00a015 ppm\u00a0for color documents and allows the paper tray to be adapted for formats up to A4.\u00a0The print resolution is 5760 x 1440 DPI.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Epson EcoTank ET-4700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Epson-EcoTank-ET-4700.jpg\" alt=\"Epson EcoTank ET-4700\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As for the\u00a0scan\u00a0data\u00a0, it reaches a resolution of\u00a01200 x 2400 DPI\u00a0, while if we want to\u00a0send faxes\u00a0we will have a transmission speed of\u00a03 sec \/ page\u00a0and an automatic redial.<\/p>\n<p>Wireless connectivity is very present in this equipment and although it has an Ethernet port and a USB port, you can print directly from your mobile or tablet thanks to\u00a0WiFi and WiFi Direct\u00a0and the Epson iPrint app.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it is inevitable to think about the issue of ink, one of the great concerns when we acquire this type of device.\u00a0Because consumables can drive up the cost of printing a lot.\u00a0This\u00a0inkjet printer\u00a0has a large capacity ink tank, so you will not have to use cartridges, but refilling is done using bottles.\u00a0Epson estimates the savings to be 90% on average.\u00a0With each pack of inks you can print up to\u00a04,500 pages in black and 7,500 pages in color.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>After all that has been said, do we recommend it?\u00a0It is a good model if you are looking for a very versatile printer, with more functions than printing and with low ink consumption, however, it has some shadows.\u00a0It lacks details, such as that the paper is loaded through a removable tray, something more comfortable, that the screen is touch or that it allows scanning and copying on both sides.\u00a0If you prefer to see another model, we invite you to read our review of the characteristics of the\u00a0Epson EcoTank ET-5800.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the world of printing there are as many types of models as the
