Issue #0520/4 - New approach from Epson allows users to save money on ink tanks.
In a break from customary Epson multi-pack pricing, where little or no cost benefit is gained by the customer, Epson has launched several multi-packs for its new R320 colour inkjet printer that offer a saving of up to 40% over the cost of buying the cartridges individually.
Three packs are available: one providing Cyan, Magenta and Black ink tanks; one providing Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta and Yellow tanks; and one providing all six.
While ink usage will not result in all tanks being changed at the same time, it is worth the user making use of the multi-packs wherever possible, supplementing the packs with individual tanks of Yellow, Black and other colours as required.
Savings on the triple-packs work out at 20.6%, while savings on the six-pack amounts to 40.4%.
Multi-packs are currently only available on the R320.
