Epson Expression Premium ET-7700 EcoTank All-in-One Supertank Printer Review
The Epson Expression Premium ET-7700 EcoTank All-in-One Supertank Printer ($549.99) is the smaller, less expensive, and less capable of two photo-centric all-in-one printers recently released by Epson. It can print borderless photos up to 8.5 by 11 inches, while the Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 EcoTank Wide-Format All-in-One Supertank Printer goes as large as 11-by-17-inch prints. The ET-7700 has a limited feature set for an all-in-one printer at its price—lacking an ADF (automatic document feeder) for scanning and copying multipage documents, for example—but has extremely low running costs, enabling you to print 8.5-by-11 color photos for barely a penny per print.

The Epson Expression Premium ET-7700 AIO printer has a high purchase price but offers very low running costs thanks to its use of bottled ink, although its photo quality proved merely average in our testing.
