The Epson EcoTank-18100 does what it was created to do – it provides a way to print consistently high-quality prints with a low running cost. If you don't mind the initial outlay, this is a great machine for those printing high volumes of colour prints daily. This could be the perfect printer for creatives – but bear in mind there's no display.

The Epson EcoTank-18100 is a photo printer that aims to change the way we view printing high quantities of quality photos and prints. Designed to fit large, relatively low-cost ink bottles (which are stunning, by the way), and have low energy costs, too, if you're a creative who needs to print colour-rich designs often, this printer is geared towards your workflow.

But how does it work in practice? I put the Epson EcoTank 1800 through its paces to find out. It's not a cheap printer to buy, by any means, so it needs to earn its keep through performance. Will it be good enough for inclusion in our best art printers guide?
