Maker of EcoTank Supertank printers :

A

EPSON
Seiko Epson is a Japanese company, and one of the largest manufacturers of printers in the world. The company has its roots in the watch business, roots that go back to 1942. Seiko was chosen as the official timekeeper for the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and was asked to supply a timer that produced a printed record. This request brought Seiko into the business of printer production. The company developed the world’s first mini-printer for the 1964 Games and called it EP-101 (with “EP” standing for Electronic Printer). In 1975 Seiko introduced the next generation of EP printers which was called EPSON, from “SON of EP”. Cute, huh?

Supertank printers are inkjet printers that use a continuous feed of ink from tanks, rather than ink from individual cartridges. The idea is to spend the big bucks up front on a supertank, and save on those expensive cartridges in the long run. Personally, I just stick to black-and-white printing and use a laserjet. Way, way cheaper …
