Nowadays many manufacturers are paying more attention on design than on printer functionality, but Epson decided to do just opposite. Epson B300 is printer designed for business and education institutions mostly, and its design brings us a few years back in time. Obviously manufacturer realized that this printer will just stand in a corner of some office, far away from user's eyes. Fortunately, this design contributed to fact that usage of this device is very easy. Example of this is a pretty simple way of changing cartridges which are within easy reach.

Epson B-300 is color printer with four large capacity cartridges (100ml), and their usage is quite economic. This is one of main advantages of this printer, because it enables large number of printed pages with one cartridge set. In case of black color printing only, it is able to print 3000 pages, and if color print is used, it can achieve 3500 pages. With reasonable price for cartridge change, we find that price of color printing on this printer is in the same price range as laser printers, and even cheaper with black color printing. Weight and dimensions of this printer can be compared with monochromatic laser printers. This gives robust impression, and it is confirmed with maximal printing range of 10000 pages per month. All this is accompanied with two big sheet cassettes for paper with total capacity of 650 sheets, but we would prefer a bit higher input capacity (170 sheets of paper). InsideHW
