Fantastic printer once it's up and running.
The Epson EcoTank ET-4950 is a very good all-around printer that delivers excellent value, especially for users who print frequently. Once set up correctly, it performs extremely well and saves a significant amount of money on ink. Pros: ✔ Exceptional value for the price — long-term ink savings easily justify the upfront cost ✔ Extremely low ink costs thanks to the EcoTank system ✔ Very high ink yield ✔ Fast print speeds ✔ Easy installation and setup for basic printing ✔ Duplex printing and duplex scanning work very well once properly configured ✔ Excellent print quality on both regular paper and photo glossy paper ✔ Photos print beautifully with great color and resolution Cons: ✖ Duplex printing setup is confusing – Required settings in the print menus are not obvious – If you don’t know what to change, duplex printing can be frustrating to configure – The output tray automatically extends during printing, which is nice, but there is no documentation explaining how to retract it – A very small, hard-to-notice icon at the top of the display must be tapped to retract the tray—this is not intuitive – It took three hours on the phone with tech support to resolve duplex printing issues – During troubleshooting, the printer printed one side, paused about 30 seconds, then printed the second side; this was resolved after installing the correct drivers and adjusting print menu settings ✖ Duplex scanning is very sensitive to paper condition – Requires pristine paper – Any bends, creases, or imperfect alignment can cause paper jams – Paper guides must be set precisely to avoid feeding issues Overall Impression: Despite some frustrating setup and customer support issues—especially related to duplex printing—the Epson EcoTank ET-4950 delivers outstanding ink savings, strong performance, and excellent print quality. Once properly configured, it is reliable, economical, and well-suited for home offices and high-volume printing users who don’t mind spending some time on setup. Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (4.5 out of 5 stars)

nice printer
huge upgrade over our last printer. bought this primarily for the automatic document feeding and automatic duplex printing. i also love being able to ditch ink cartridges. the only downside so far is that automatic duplex printing is not available for A5, which to be honest was the main size we wanted to print double-sided (for planner refills) so that’s a bit of a bummer, to put it lightly. it does work fine for A4 though, so i suppose we’ll just be buying a guillotine to print two sets at once and cut in half.

Why did I wait so long
After using cartridge-based ink jet printers over the years, I finally purchased the Eco Tank. Why did I wait so long?! Maybe it was the higher acquisition cost, but in a short time I have learned that the cost of ownership is much more affordable. A great printer that balances speed, print quality, functionality and cost of consumables. The automated document feeder is a great feature.
