Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really like this printer. It’s compact and lightweight, and really like the white color instead of the usual boring black. Setup was a breeze using the app on my iPhone. Took about 20 minutes, including filling the ink tanks and initializing them. I didn’t even have to enter my WiFi password. Print quality is fine for my needs, since I rarely print photos. The gigantic ink supply is the best thing. I got so sick of having to buy ink every time I had more than a few pages to print. The ink cost for my old printer was nearly the cost of the printer itself, and it came with ink when I bought it. Go figure! The only con for me so far is that I haven’t been able to scan a document from the printer dashboard itself to my iPhone or iPad unless I use the app from my device. The only option there is to scan to a USB connected computer or laptop, which I no longer own. I did learn one tip on YouTube for dull colors or lines through the copies. You have to make sure that the paper type you select on the printer is identical to the paper type selected on your computer or device. It definitely made a difference for me; the colors were definitely more vibrant. Also, I did purchase 2 reams of Epson Bright White Pro paper. It’s great - a tad heavier than other copy paper. I think it’s worth the couple of extra dollars over the regular copy paper. Only time will tell if the longevity of the printer justifies the higher cost. I like that you get a two-year warranty with online registration. Right now, I think this was definitely a worthwhile purchase.

[Employee of bestbuy] I’m in love! With this printer! For the longest time, I thought that if you wanted a printer that didn’t need a new $50 cartridge every 70 pages, you’d have to buy a laser printer. Boy was I wrong! This epson printer just keeps printing and printing! I print about 30 pages a week, and after a month the printer ink is still full! I love the windows into the ink tank, it’s such a good idea. I always wondered if my old printer still had ink in the cartridge and was just lying to me - this printer I will know for sure. I also love that it has a scanner built in. This model doesn’t have the ADF, which I’m fine with. I only scan a couple of things a month, and this printer is more than adequate for scanning. Better than that, the scans are high resolution and crystal clear. Much better than scanning documents with my iPhone. I also love the form factor of this printer. It’s so little and cute! It fits well on my shelf, and it’s lightweight in case I want to move it anywhere else. It’s been an amazing printer, and I hope it lasts me many years. And in case it doesn’t, I also got the protection plan with it ;)

This was very easy to set up. It to roughly ten minutes to initialize the ink system which in my opinion isn't unreasonable. Easy to switch from media sources, easy picture sheet arrangements, takes up very little space, and prints great quality pictures. Great price for the quality of product, I caught it on sale which was a double bonus!

My previous printer died after 5 years. I wanted to try a new Epson eco-tank printer, because the ink is less expensive, and it's supposed to last a very long time. So far, I am really happy with my Epson ET-2850 printer-scanner. The ink was easy to add, just turn the bottles upside down over the ink ports, and glug glug glug it goes, and it stops automatically when the ink reservoir is full. The bottles of ink did not fully empty, and after I had gone through set up (initial set-up uses a lot of ink), and had also printed a number of papers (maybe 30-50 pages of print), then I was able to add the rest of the ink. Set up was not easy, the little screen is extremely small and difficult to follow, but I finally got it set up with help from an online site. It comes with a set-up CD (I haven't used CD's in about 10 years, I download things). This printer does not store paper, so you have to put paper in every time you want to print, and store your paper in a drawer or something. The color comes out gorgeous. The first time I wanted to print a photo (which I don't do a lot of), I finally had to put it on regular and not high quality, and on presentation paper matte, instead of photo paper, and it finally printed well. I do a lot of scanning, and the scanning software that comes with this is very easy to use and works very well, I love it, which I could not say for my previous printer's software. I wish the display screen on the printer were 3"x3" - it's about a 1" square. I wish set up were easier. But I have been printing a lot, as usual, and the ink levels have barely gone down. They say you really have to keep an eye on the ink levels, because if you try to print with ink too low it will damage the printer. I definitely recommend this printer, and I would get this kind again in the future.

Loving this printer! I have had no issues with it as of yet and I feel positive that it will stay that way. Quick and painless printer… from your phone too! Isn’t that what we all want!? Well, that’s what I wanted at least and I got it. Plus, no more cartridges, I think it’s awesome that it is actual ink you pour into the little tanks. I just started homeschooling our 2 year old and needed to print out LOTS of bright colorful schooling pages and this printer didn’t even miss a beat.

I’ve been using the Epson EcoTank Printer for a while now, and overall I’m very satisfied. The ink tank system is a game-changer — high‑capacity ink reservoirs last a long time and save a lot of money compared to traditional cartridges. Print quality is solid for documents and photos, and setup was surprisingly easy using the Epson Smart Panel. I also like that it has built-in wireless printing, which works smoothly on phones and laptops. The only downside I noticed is that printing can be a bit slower than some laser printers, but for everyday home or office use it’s completely fine. If you're looking for an affordable printer with low running costs, reliable performance, and excellent ink efficiency, the Epson EcoTank is absolutely worth it. Great value, less waste, and fewer refills — highly recommended!

I have had this Epson ET-2850 all in one printer in use for about a week. I had trouble trying to set it up through the app. It got stuck on priming the ink, and wouldn't continue set up, though the ink tanks were simple to fill. I waited an hour, then shut it down. The next day, I started over manually and set it right up with no trouble. It prints, scans, copies beautifully, all wirelessly from 2 different computers with no problem. I printed a greeting card with beautiful color, flawlessly. Haven't tried a photo yet. I would have given it 5 stars if the app would have worked to set it up easily. Glad I purchased this printer and definitely recommend.

Really great ink capacity! This printer is exactly what I needed. Simple, straightforward and most importantly, high capacity ink tanks. I had been using my brothers HP printer, and I needed to print about 100 color sheets on it. Before I used up all his ink, I told him I would buy a fresh cartridge so that I wouldn’t waste all of his ink. When I got to Staples that ink cartridge would have cost me about $115. I was about to buy it, but then saw a special offer on this Epson Eco Tank 2850 printer for only $219. I decided to ask a little about the printer, and the Staples employee who helped me said it easily prints at least 2,000-3,000 color pages before I would need to buy ink refills. I was SOLD! And I am definitely happy with my decision. I know it’s not the best Epson printer for professional photo quality prints, but as far as everyday work and office needs, this printer definitely does the job.

The Best Printer-I have ever used. Previously I used HP which required constant purchasing HP ink… incredibly expensive. After purchasing several items at the Lake Charles Best Buy store with the best customer service members & the most knowledgeable staff the only store I use for electronics- it was time for a printer that was not as costly to maintain as the HP. The staff member took me to each printer patiently explaining the benefits of each. Helping me to understand the benefits of the Epson. Which was initially more expensive than the Hp after the extremely knowledgeable associate explained everything to me, effectively the printer would pay for itself, which was wouldn’t need to purchase ink cartridges continuously. Upon completion of the project I was extremely impressed with the quality of the printing process.

Set up was a breeze compared to my last printer. I have a Mac and was worried I was not going to be able to set up without the disk but it went better than expected. Crisp clear colors. Nice printing. I can print from Android via app or any computer connected to the same Wifi. I am so excited to have this printer. I recommend to everyone.

Easy to equip for first use and it had step by step instructions. The ink appears to be able to save frequent users lots of money

Very simple to use and lightweight, about 12 pounds. Set up was super easy, and the ink reservoirs fill up in less than 90 seconds each. No more messing with cartridges and figuring out how to recycle them. There's enough ink in the bottles to top off the levels after initial set up. The only problem I'm having is connecting to my Wifi, but I was still able to print wirelessly from my laptop. It would be nice if it had a USB port like the similarly priced model that was on display, but it's not a deal breaker.

Great printer! Ink lasts forever. Epson never disappoints.

I am trying this ink jet printer as I was continually buying replacement ink cartridges. So far I have been very happy with the quality and features on this printer. Very clear printing , have not had paper jams, and is easy to use.

Love the small profile. Much more compact than my previous printer. Prints great and very easy to fill ink and see when the ink is full. Hopefully the ink will be less expensive than the old cartridges.

I love it! The ink lasts. Doesn’t take up space, and it’s quiet. It’s sleek.

Amazing printer. Had to rush to print a heavy project and it got the job done with excellent color and super easy setup. Love the refillable design of the tanks.

Excellent quality and very easy to use, it can be used for edible ink and for sublimation

So far so good I like the size and convenience the ink bottles rather than cartridges. Hope that last longer . This printer isn't fast but does a good job

It is a good printer. The color is not as vibrant as the picture shown to me on the computer though. Sure, if there's a setting I can change. The ink last a long time. I have printed so many things with so many colors and I still have like 80% ink if I had to guess. I love the automatic double-sided printing. However, the printing is very slow. Overall it gets the job done and it has been a convenience.
