The Epson EcoTank ET-M1170 ($349.99) may represent a game-changer for your home-based business. Yes, it’s a basic, no-frills monochrome inkjet business printer that’s a bit slower than its laser counterparts. But for the price, it comes with tons of ink and delivers fraction-of-a-cent running costs that are staggeringly lower than its competitors. And it does all this while producing terrific-looking text and grayscale graphics and photos. The ET-M1170 is our new top pick for small and micro offices and workgroups that need to churn out a few hundred to a thousand monochrome pages each month.
