A3+ Wide-Format Printing

This larger printing format provides additional flexibility for:
- Architectural and engineering documents

Important: The ET-16600 supports printing up to A3+, while its scanning and copying functions support originals up to A3. It does not provide A3+ flatbed scanning.
Fast PrecisionCore Heat-Free Printing
The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16600 uses PrecisionCore Heat-Free printing technology to deliver consistent business documents with sharp text and detailed graphics.
- Black Printing: Up to 25 ISO pages per minute
- Colour Printing: Up to 12 ISO pages per minute
- Maximum Resolution: 4800 x 2400 optimised dpi
These speeds refer to A4 printing under Epson's specified ISO test conditions. Actual performance varies with paper size, document complexity and print settings.
Automatic Duplex Printing, Scanning and Copying
The ET-16600 includes comprehensive automatic double-sided document handling to support efficient office workflows.
Its automatic duplex printing function allows users to print on both sides of supported paper without manually turning sheets over.
The integrated 50-sheet duplex automatic document feeder also supports automatic two-sided scanning, copying and faxing of compatible documents.
This makes the printer particularly useful for businesses regularly processing contracts, financial records, forms and multi-page reports.
550-Sheet Paper Capacity
The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16600 provides a standard paper input capacity of 550 sheets, comprising:
- Front Cassette 1: 250 Sheets
- Front Cassette 2: 250 Sheets
- Rear Multipurpose Feed: 50 Sheets of Plain Paper
The dual front cassettes allow offices to maintain commonly used paper supplies, while the rear feed accommodates supported specialty media and larger paper formats.
Actual capacity varies according to paper size, thickness and media type.
Low Running Costs with Genuine Epson T542 Ink
The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16600 uses genuine Epson T542 DURABrite pigment ink bottles in Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.
The refillable ink system is designed to provide high document yields and reduce the frequency of ink replenishment compared with many conventional cartridge-based printing systems.
Approximate replacement ink yields:
- Black: Up to 7,500 pages
- Colour: Up to 6,000 pages
Approximate included ink yields:
- Black: Up to 4,500 pages
- Colour: Up to 2,800 pages
Yields are based on Epson's testing methodology. Actual results depend on page coverage, print settings, maintenance operations and usage conditions.
