The Epson EcoTank ET-4760 is an all-in-one printer with a supertank. It has four refillable ink tanks that hold a lot of ink, which minimizes the frequency for refills and results in an incredibly low cost-per-print. While its color accuracy is mediocre and there's a lot of banding present in photos, both should be fine for most casual uses. It has a flatbed scanner, automatic document feeder, and integrated fax, but, unfortunately, it can't automatically scan double-sided sheets. Also, there's no Bluetooth support, but at least there's a variety of wireless and wired connection options.

Our Verdict

0.0
Family 

The Epson ET-4760 is good for families. Its cost-per-print ratio is excellent, and it prints a very large number of copies before you need to refill its ink tanks. It has many wireless connectivity options and a good mobile app, too. However, its photo printing quality is only decent, and it has disappointing color accuracy when printing documents. If you mostly just print things for use around the house, though, this shouldn't be an issue.

Pros
  • Outstandingly low cost-per-print.
  • Remarkably high page yields.
  • Automatic document feeder and flatbed scanner.
  • Adequate photo printing quality.
Cons
  • Can't automatically duplex scan.
  • Poor color accuracy.
  • No Bluetooth support.
  • Build quality is only okay.

Small/Home Office 

The Epson ET-4760 is great for small or home offices. The ink tanks print a remarkably high number of pages on a full tank of ink, so you don't have to worry about being frequently interrupted by empty ink cartridges. Also, it has a sheetfed scanner with an automatic document feeder, so you can scan multiple documents at once. However, it doesn't support duplex scanning, and the printing speed can be a bit slow for a busy office.

Pros
  • Outstandingly low cost-per-print.
  • Remarkably high page yields.
  • Automatic document feeder and flatbed scanner.
  • Integrated fax feature.
  • Has an Ethernet port.
Cons
  • Can't automatically duplex scan.
  • Build quality is only okay.

The Epson ET-4760 is excellent for students. It's remarkably cost-efficient for an inkjet printer thanks to its supertank system, which yields a remarkable number of pages. It doesn't print as quickly as a laser printer, but it's a lot faster than most inkjet printers, which is great when you have a report to hand in at the last minute. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Bluetooth, but on the bright side, it supports both Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service.

Pros
  • Outstandingly low cost-per-print.
  • Remarkably high page yields.
  • Automatic document feeder and flatbed scanner.
Cons
  • No Bluetooth support.
  • Build quality is only okay.

Black & White 

The Epson ET-4760 is impressive for black and white printing. The supertank system holds a lot of ink, resulting in a remarkably high print yield. The black ink replacement bottles don't cost very much, so the cost of black-only printing is outstandingly low. While this printer still prints decently quickly, it's not quite as fast as a monochrome laser printer. It's also a bit of a hassle to refill the ink tanks. That said, it's still a great printer if you only print in black and white.

Pros
  • Outstandingly low cost-per-print.
  • Remarkably high page yields.
  • Automatic document feeder and flatbed scanner.
Cons
  • Can't automatically duplex scan.
  • Build quality is only okay.

Photo 

The Epson ET-4760 is decent for casual photos. It has acceptable color accuracy, and the photo printing quality is okay for family photos, but there's a lot of banding in gray areas. However, if you choose to print photos, it won't cost you much over time since the printer has a high color page yield, and it doesn't cost much to refill the color ink tanks.

Pros
  • Outstandingly low cost-per-print.
  • Adequate photo printing quality.
Cons
  • Poor color accuracy.
  • Very slow at photo printing.

  • Changelog

    1.  Updated Aug 04, 2022: Added mention of the Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5180 in the 'Scanner' section as an alternative with duplex scanning capability.
    2.  Updated May 27, 2022: This model can print custom sizes. This lets you print on A5 paper, even if that size isn't in the presets, so we changed the A5 result in Printing Size from 'No' to 'Yes'.
    3.  Updated Jan 28, 2022: Reshot and updated the 'In Use Picture'.
    4.  Updated Jan 05, 2022: Fixed error with Max Paper Weight test result.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The Epson EcoTank ET-4760 has no variants. However, the Epson EcoTank ET-3760 is nearly identical, but it doesn't have an integrated fax, and its display isn't a touch screen.

    Popular Printer Comparisons

    The Epson EcoTank ET-4760 is a very good overall printer that should please most people. Like most supertank models, it has an extremely high page yield and remarkably low cost-per-print, although it isn't as good as the Epson EcoTank ET-2760. It has an integrated fax feature and an ADF that can scan legal-size sheets, but, unfortunately, it can't automatically scan double-sided sheets, so you need to flip over each page yourself.

    Canon PIXMA G6020

    Track

    The Epson EcoTank ET-4760 is an overall better all-in-one color inkjet printer with a supertank than the Canon PIXMA G6020. The Epson yields far more black pages, prints documents much more quickly, and produces more accurate colors. Also, it has an automatic document feeder, and it can fax. On the other hand, the Canon yields much more color pages at a cheaper cost-per-print, and it prints photos much faster and with significantly better quality.

    Epson EcoTank ET-4800

    Track

    The Epson EcoTank ET-4760 and the Epson EcoTank ET-4800 are similar supertank printers, but the ET-4760 is better for home office use overall. The ET-4760 has a larger display screen with no keypad, and it prints more pages before its tank starts running low. It scans and prints faster, and it can print double-sided sheets automatically. On the other hand, the ET-4800 is a better choice if you print a lot of photos for crafts or home decor since its photo printing quality and color accuracy are much better.

    Canon imageCLASS MF242dw

    Track

    The Epson EcoTank ET-4760 is an inkjet printer, while the Canon imageCLASS MF242DW is a monochrome laser printer. However, the Epson performs better overall. The Epson produces significantly more pages thanks to its supertank cartridge system, and it can print in color, so it has better photo quality. It also produces higher-quality black and white documents, as the Canon's prints look faded with lots of artifacts. The Epson's scanner has a higher scan resolution, and it has an automatic document feeder, which the Canon lacks. On the other hand, the Canon has a much faster print speed, and it doesn't require as much upkeep.

    Epson WorkForce ST-M1000

    Track

    The Epson ET-4760 is an all-in-one color printer, while the Epson WorkForce ST-M1000 is a monochrome printer-only model. While both are supertank printers, the ET-4760 yields significantly more pages. Also, it has a flatbed scanner, an automatic document feeder, and a fax feature, making it better for a wider range of uses. On the other hand, the ST-M1000 takes less time to warm up and print the first page. It's a good option if you're looking for a straightforward model to only print in black and white.
