This printer was for $178 in HN and $128 in JB HIFI before cash back. Now $98 in Harvey Norman, you can get $50 cash back.
A really good printer for $48 which has separate ink cartridges.
I bought this for $178 during Christmas and just saw this deal.

Cheaper to buy the several printers instead of more ink
Included ink is normally not full capacity. To avoid people doing this.
@Owgasm: It's barely at any capacity. I bought one of these a few weeks ago and I printed 13 pages of one document before the tank was empty. I didn't expect to be able to print a novel but I at least thought I would get a little further out of the included tanks than that!
@Magnastar: I haven’t purchased a printer in over 10 years. Last I bought one was some poo Hp one. It had half cartridges.
I guess it’s getting worse
Not when printers only have starter ink tanks.
WTF is that!? I mean I see it, but never heard of them before, does it stay connected all the time or you just take it out to fill it form a large reservoir?
@MrFrugalSpend: It depends on what you are printing.
Laser is good for infrequent use as there is no ink to dry in the print head.
CISS is good if you want to print lots of photos at home or on paper than cannot go through a laser printer.
Anyone have any problems with CISS or generally good value / worth it?
Pretty much the same cost as generic ink from ebay ($2.50 each cartridge if you get it from china/4weeks to wait for delivery)
Except you have the initial setup costs, it is a retrofitted system compared to just generics (any simpleton can change ink cartridges), potentially a bit messy to set up.
I guess you're supposed to know what ink you have if you DIY prints..
I've not had a problem with generic ink from ebay + all the nice photos that I print are done quite cheaply at Kmart/Big W deals :)
Epson makes continuous printers https://www.epson.com.au/products/printers_for_home/EcoTank/
They will cost more than this printer plus a continuous ink supply system but there are no external tanks to knock over as everything is integrated.
@spaceflight: Those CISS printers are very common in some parts of Asia, pretty much all consumer grade printers can be sold with CISS retrofitted. That's why Epson finally made their own built-in CISS models.
I had nothing but trouble with the rihac system for an older Canon multifunction. Leaks, clogs and jams galore. I have used other CISS systems without any such issue.
@syousef: Yeah as long as everything is working well its great. As soon as you get air in a line or a blockage the mess is incredible.
$76.88 here https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/epson-220x…
If you get it matched then you can claim the $70 cashback which gets you genuine ink for not much more.
The product that you've linked to only has the black cartridge in XL, coloured cartridges are standard size.
I've had this printer (actually WF-2760) for more than 1 year, and I buy generic ink on eBay for $15 a pack with the 3 colors + 2 black ones.
For example ($13.13): https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5-x-220XL-220-XL-Inkjet-for-Epso…
"It may damage the printer" they say.
With the money I save in a single order I could buy another printer or two. And I've ordered multiple times now.
I do the same. Also have this printer and use it a lot.
Are those ink cartridges compatible with the latest firmware?
I would recommend against buying an inkjet printer. Buy a Brother mono laser instead. Family saved about $200/year on ink and haven’t noticed the inability to print.
yeah, if one doesn't need colour prints, then go for mono laser
Which would you recommend?
Yep brother mono laser is very economical, and easy to find generic toner cartridges.
I assume you mean the inability to print colour?
Which ink does this come with?
It's an epson printer so will come with epson ink
Yes
Not only is it Epson ink, but you get 4 of them.
YES, FOUR… There is one Yellow, one Cyan, one Magenta and… a BLACK.
Those would be starter ink I presume? As in, it runs out quicker than a refill would.
Choice rated this at 67% which is a good score, though did not hit the “recommended” minimum of 70%
Imagine if an ebay seller had a 67 or 70% feedback score. People call 98% or even 99.0% sellers untrustworthy.
They are not equivalent.
This is one of the few model left that have ink without chips. It also supports google cloud print and scan to cloud. I absolutely love it. Get a 5 pack (CMYKK) INK from ebay for approx $20 delivered.
Link to the refill kit please?
Here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5-Ink-Cartridges-for-Epson-220XL…
These are the one's I've tried and tested.
Any issues with this ink?
the colors might be a bit off if you are color blind
I think that you meant to say "the colours may be a-bit off if you are not colour-blind".
It does have chip on the cartridge, the 5 pack from ebay is also chipped albeit hacked.
As long as you don't update the firmware, it's all good. I made a mistake of updating the firmware once, and found previously bought ebay ink not working anymore.
I just bought this printer and it wont let me skip the part of the installation where it wants to install the latest firmware.
This is one of the few model left that have ink without chips.
WRONG. The ink cartridges definitely have chips in them.
The non-genuine cartridges with fake chips sometimes don't show the ink levels correctly. So perhaps the only way you'll know that you have run out of ink is when the ink runs out.
The non genuine cartridges don't show the ink level correctly because they are not filled correctly.
The chip tells the printer what size cartridge you have put in so the printer knows how much ink is in the cartridge.
The printer counts for much ink is used to know the level.
If the cartridge is filled to low or the chip is set wrong then it will run out of ink before the printer thinks it should.
How much for ink from online?
I bought this for $178 during Christmas
You have done poorly, OP. RRP is $179 direct from Epson with free shipping.
Does this have all the wireless printer features? Without a computer connected to it? (We don’t have a desktop anymore)
Yes it does
If only Harvey Norman had bothered to put a description of the printer on their website. If they had, it might've said something along the lines of
The printer can wirelessly connect to your devices via Wi-Fi Direct, letting you print documents and other files directly from your smartphone or tablet, making for convenient use when away from a computer.
I do need a cheap printer and this has cheap ink online. I'm getting one. It does have wireless print
https://www.epson.com.au/products/multifunctional/WorkForceW…
Simple wireless connectivity
Connect to your wireless network in a snap — even the latest wireless standard, 802.11 b//g/n, is supported. No network? No problem. Wi-Fi Direct means no router is required enabling users to easily connect to wireless networks in seconds, allowing printing from virtually any room in the office.

Actually the Android and Apple apps are pretty good for this product.
Great post wuds
Thanks mate
found it supports 2-sided printing, but not sure about 2-side scanning… couldn't find any info about that…
Unfortunately no duplex scanning which would make it slow to use https://www.cnet.com/products/epson-workforce-wf-2750-multif…
Actually it is slower for a scanner (that uses a duplexer to flip pages) to duplex scan automatically than manually, provided you use software that knows how to re-order duplex scans. For example, ABBYY FineReader — Restore original page order after duplex scanning.
No to automatic duplex scanning.
Got one thanks op.
Cheap ink:
https://www.amazon.com.au/YRSINK-Generic-Cartridges-Replacem…
It says in title 10 pack but in description it says 5 pack so good grounds for refund therefore in the end probably the inks will be free
Good pick up, got one
You probably get 2 5 packs
At the price of one, still good
Thanks!
Do inks last a while if unopened?
@[Deactivated]: Ah, I got a couple so I know I have ink. But didn’t think about expiry etc.
I guess it should be fine 🤔
It won’t be used much
Does anyone else get a 'Hello Ozbargainer' popup when they navigate to this page?
Gerry's tracking us :o
Referrer header tells the page you load the site that you came from.
Bought this 2 days ago from Domayne alongwith other items to avail the Amex offer (Spend $750, get $150 back). I guess i only got benefited $70 from it
does this printer works with generic ink?
I think so
Ink is $14-17 for 5 of them on eBay.
edit: or cheaper from amazon
Where is the cheaper Amazon link? Ebay it’s 13aud and Amazon 37 for two sets.
Don't get this printer!! They need you to have colour inks in order to print just black documents.
I don't know about that, but for $50. you can get this compared to a lot of cheaper printers, it is pretty decent
This is true for a lot of printers……
That's true with 'most' inkjets…
I have the same printer and this is super annoying. Of course it always happens when you need to print something urgently. I don't think we should encourage this behaviour from printer vendors and the only way to stop it is not buying.
Good price though lol
Why is this being downvoted? I have the epson 5690 and it has the same issue.
Also, I’ve had two warranty claims on it because the printer head keeps stuffing up! Hasn’t worked for 12 months without having some sort of printing problem that epson needed to look into.
Save your money and buy a laser.
Thanks OP! Just snapped one up:)
Worth it to also get the $20 cashback on ink? I'm aware that it would be better in general to get ink from ebay, but that presumably would also come with some chance of the ink not working.
More expensive at The Good Guys:
https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/epson-workforce-wireless-inkj…
which means you can take advantage of their 5% price guarantee.
Cashback is only for purchases from the harvey norman group - save 5% but lose $50…
OP might want to add this to the description in case people try to get it price beat without reading the cashback terms and conditions - I've asked mods to add it with a description report. Great deal.
Ah right you are. Didn't realise the cashback was limited to just hardly normal.
Cash back in only available at Australian Harvey Norman, Domayne or Joyce Mayne store.
Does this epson have the annoying function that won't let you print black if one of the colour ink is out?
May depend on the firmware, mine just prompts, and asks if I wish to continue printing in greyscale, however others report it won't print.
Best to assume it won't.
Yep super annoying
My current Epson Workforce 545 does this, which is why it hasn't been used in years.
Can't recommend any printer that does this.
I bought a higher end WF model, it's signifficantly cheaper, even with 3rd party ink, to get more expensive printers… the cheaper they are the worse the ink.
This supports cheap aftermarket ebay ink for $15
I know, most do, but even the cheaper aftermarket on some of these actually costs more for lower end models.
I've also bought many dud ebay inks for my old Epson Printer back in the day… I'd rather stick to a store as opposed to some here today gone tomorrow ebay seller.
Nil stock Knox. More coming in. Melbourne stores all low on stock
How much is new ink?
