    What is AirPrint?

    Apple AirPrint allows full colour, top-quality printing from iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads directly from within many Apps available from the Apple App Store.

    To take advantage of AirPrint, your compatible printer must be connected to the same wireless network as your iOS device or Mac computer.

    AirPrint enables users to print wirelessly from within applications on Apple devices to AirPrint Compatible Printers connected to a wireless network. You can use your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to easily print via Airprint without the need to install drivers or configure the printer queue. Just tap 'print' and select your AirPrint compatible printer, and print!....It's that simple.

    What You See is What You Print

    If you can open it on your apple device, chances are you can print it with AirPrint and an AirPrint compatible printer. Airprint works with Safari, Mail, Photos, iWork, PDF's in iBooks and many third-party AirPrint compatible apps available from the app store.

    Full list of AirPrint compatible printers

    Third-Party Apps

    There are also a wide variety of third-party apps available to enable wireless printing through Apple devices, even to machines that are not natively AirPrint compatible printers. By sharing a printer installed on an Apple Mac or Windows Pc over a wireless network any printer may be able to take advantage of the AirPrint features. (An additional third-party app may be required to be installed on the local machine)

    *For full AirPrint support, a printer firmware upgrade may be required which is available directly from the relevant manufacturer website.

    Please note. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the above information is correct at the time of publication, Printerland will not be held responsible for the content of any third-party software suggested on this site and usage of any such software is at the users own risk. Printerland is unable to provide support for Airprint compatible printer software and any such advice should be readily available from the relevant manufacturer or developer

Epson EcoTank ET-4856 (Box Opened) in More Detail

Say hello to mess-free printing with the Epson EcoTank ET-4856 A4 Colour Multifunction Inkjet Printer. The Epson range of EcoTank printers have been designed to be much kinder to the environment by doing away with plastic replacement ink cartridges, and because they use ink tanks and bottle refills, you can save as much as 90% on your printing costs.

Easy mess-free refills

Replacing cartridges can be a pain; you have to stop printing and then find the access point, remove the old cartridge then add the new one, which is a process that has to be done each time a cartridge runs out. However, with the EcoTank system, you can fill up the ink tanks whilst the printer is still printing, which means less hassle and speedier printing. With Epson’s key-lock system that prevents the wrong ink from entering an incorrect tank, you won’t have to worry about costly and time-consuming mishaps.

Professional quality cost-effective printing

Despite being compact, the ET-4856 printer is capable of providing business quality printouts, scans and copies quickly, and because the ink tanks hold so much ink, you can print as many as 7,500 mono pages from a single black bottle or up to 6,000 colour pages from CMY bottles, which will vastly lower your cost-per-page printing costs. With top printout speeds of up to 33ppm for mono and 20ppm for colour, automatic double-sided printing and borderless printing, you won’t be left standing around waiting for your work to appear on-page.

Modern flexibility for the busy office

With Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, coupled with the Epson Smart Panel app, you can print on the go or without being connected to a wireless network. The 6.1cm LCD screen allows for scanning and copying without a computer and makes navigating the machine's impressive features a doddle. The Epson Smart Panel app also allows you to monitor, troubleshoot and keep an eye on your printer's ink levels from anywhere.

Brilliant business decision
This printer has it all all of the functions of a much larger far more expensive photocopier but costs a fraction to buy and is dramatically cheaper when buying inks. Yes it is slightly slower than our old photocopier but that cost us 4 times as much to buy and so much more in monthly print costs. Buying this instead of renewing our old printer has been a brilliant decision

EcoTank EcoThanks
Thanks for the advice pre-sales from Richard. I know its early days... but this printer seems better made and better designed re features printing quality no cartridges ... and likely easier getting to rollers to clean etc etc than my old Canon MX395 which stopped grabbing paper and not cost-effective to repair even tho it was printing ok. The EcoTank also takes up less desk space which is great Thanks for the advice BW Andrew

Best type of printer
I can see what all the ink tank hype is about now. Coming from an inkjet printer where I was constantly replacing the ink I haven t had to do so yet and I have already printed a lot. This has to be the way forward with printers
