The Epson ET-M1120 is unusual for an inkjet printer in that it only prints in monochrome - essentially black and white. It's also a refillable tank printer, so instead of using ink cartridges it has tanks that you refill with ink bottles. Tank printers usually have very low running costs, but does this Epson also print to a high standard? See if it makes the grade in our Epson ET-M1120 review.

Printing costs

How we test printing costs

How cheap or expensive the printer is for ink/toner costs per page. More stars means cheaper prints. Costs are based on our occasional printing test - printing black text and colour pages, leaving time between prints and turning the printer off between uses. Printers with no star rating were tested prior to our occasional printing test.

Power use

How we test power use

For energy, it's based on power use when the printer is turned off, in standby and when idle, just after printing.
