Epson is one of the top companies producing good quality printers today. I'm especially a fan of their Ink Tank printers which are way better than your standard ink cartridge printers out there. Yes, Epson's Ink Tank printers require you to pay a premium upfront, but in the long run, they definitely prove to be a better buy than cartridge-based printers. In this article, we'll be reviewing Epson's L485 All-in-One Ink Tank Printer (£16,199) to see if the product lives up to the high standards the company has set both for itself and the printer market in general, and find out if it's certainly worth the premium price it's asking for:

Before we get into the in-depth review, let's get the paper specification out of the way. I honestly don't think too much about specs on paper, that said it's a good place to start as it sets the stage for our expectations of any product. You can find the specifications of Epson L485 in the table below:

At first glance, the Epson L485 looks like any printer on the market, but give it a closer look and you'll soon notice the large ink tank attached to the right side of the printer. The external presence of the ink tank makes it very easy to remove and replace.

When you get to the front of the printer you will find all the buttons you need to control the printer. The front is basically your main console where you control everything about your printer. I love the fact that the printer also comes with a 1.44-inch color LCD screen that helps you select print mode, settings, and any other features you want to access.
