A:AnswerThe ink comes in little plastic bottles of about 40 ml each except for the black one - it's twice the quantity. They are about $12 each, and you need 4 (including black) to have your printer set. Depending on what you print, the ink will require refills at different times. Given that you can print nearly 18,000 copies with all four colors topped, can't beat any other price out there in the market.
A:AnswerI have not searched for scanning directly to email, and that might work with some email clients and not others, AND based on whether you have setup a "default" email client on your computer? (1) If you mean opening an email and them being able to select a scan option from within the email client (such as Outlook or Thunderbird) this can be an issue with them as much as compatibility with the Epson software. (2) Scanning works perfectly for me, so I just scan as a pdf or Word formatted doc and then attach the scanned doc to my email message, and that works fine.
A:AnswerPrinter cables are purchased separate. I was able to use my USB cable from my old printer onto my new printer as it didn't come with one either.
