Epson - EcoTank ET-2760 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer - White

Th Epson Ecotank series 2760 printer is a compact all in one printer. It's main reason for purchase would be the Ecotank since every printer comes with 4 bottles of ink, comparable to "80 standard cartridges or 7500 pages". That in and of itself should register as the biggest find ever in terms of savings! Couple that with scanning, copying, 2 sided printing and a compact ecofriendly design and you should go out and snap these up while they last. I mean, what is Epson thinking?! Did they have a lapse of judgement?! Are they trying to put their competition out of business? Hold on, don't go off and buy one just yet, there are tradeoffs. For one, you're certainly not going to replace 80 sets of cartridges with 7500 pages when a standard Epson cartridge set yields 300 pages, it equals about 25 sets, which is still good considering an ecotank refill runs about 3 times a standard pack saving you more than the cost of the printer. Print quality of the 2760 leaves much to be desired. Every print gives you washed out colors, minor improvement when set on best quality. Scanned pictures are darker than originals with a limited level of crispness and edge details. I noticed some splotching on corners and in some pictures. For basic printing tasks that don't require much detail, this would work; but for everything else, opt for the more expensive expression series. You'll make the money back in saved cartridge purchases anyways. Ecotank is a no-brainer, beats competitor "plans" that try to lock you in to a monthly quota, likely taken from cellphone carriers.

Fair warning: this review is meant to walk a new user through the set up process describing features as I go. The Eason EcoTank 2760 has ink... lots of ink. I have to say, I was initially nervous about the ink system. Instead of having traditional cartridges, this model has huge tanks built in and you fill the tanks with ink from a tube. I initially thought back to refilling inkjet cartridges in the late 90s and I became nervous, but Installing new ink in the 2760 was pretty easy and I didn’t make a mess. The printer has guides to place the tube into and you can then hear the ink empty into the tank below. Then simply lift up and close the flap. On your first set up, the ink has to be charged. You’ll notice after you fill the tank the first time, some ink will be left in the tubes. Don’t throw those tubes away! After charging, the ink levels in the tank will drop and you can use what was left in those tubes to top off the ink tank. Then you follow the instructions on screen to decide which box looks better and be prepared to second guess your choices because sometimes it isn’t so obvious. I also have no idea what the recovery process would be like if you put the wrong colored ink in the wrong slot. I don’t know if there is any keyed protection to keep that from happening. So, please be careful loading ink. The initial set up process was simple enough, but the instructions on screen seemed to clash a bit with the instructions in the included print materials. After setup, you can decide whether or not you want to install software from Epson. I would recommend it as the printer had firmware updates available and it seems the only way to get those updates is with the official driver package. Also, I don’t think you can set up google or email printing without the official drivers. To get those drivers, have your model number handy (ET-2760) and go to epson.com/support. Download and install. Using the printer on Pc was easy. The printer will notice when you place new paper into the feed and ask you what size paper you want. However, I noticed that those paper size settings on the printer must match the paper size settings on the device you are printing from, or you can get print errors on Android. On Android devices, you must install the printer plug-in. I kept getting print errors with little explanation until I realized it was because I had a print setting of letter on my android tablet and a setting of 8x10 on my printer. Printing from an iPhone / iPad was easy. The printer supports AirPrint. Photos looked great. I have a comparison photo from Gettysburg. Both photos had the same print settings and paper, but the Epson printer produces a much more colorful print. I was definitely impressed. Copies weren’t as sharp as I would have liked. There are a lot of settings and perhaps I just need to play with it more. I wish there was a feeding document tray. Raising the scanner lid for multiple pages is a bit annoying when comparably priced printers have that feature. That screen is tiny. I had a hard time seeing it unless I was right up on it. So far, I recommend the printer. Time will tell how the ink and the print heads hold up. But for now, the printer does a good job.

The Epson EcoTank ET-2760 is a nice all in one printer that provides the basic functionality (copy, print, & scan) most people are looking for in a printer, but at a better value compared to most cartridge based printers. The main draw to Epson’s EcoTank line of printers is the “cartridge free” feature that not only offers convenience but potentially cost savings over the typical ink cartridge systems we are all too familiar with. Instead of wasteful, expensive cartridges that only last a few hundred pages; Epson designed a unique tank system that is easy to fill and reasonably priced. Each bottle offers up to 7,500 pages for black and 6,000 pages for color far exceeding typical ink cartridges. On top of the great yield of refills, Epson includes a set of ink bottles with the ET-2760 to completely fill the printer with enough ink for 2 years! Time will tell if I print that many pages in 2 years but it is nice knowing I won’t be hunting down refills anytime soon. The design is basic but clean in an all white finish. The ET-2760 ink wells are visible in the front, providing an ink level indicator. Navigation is performed with an adjustable control panel and is easy to use. Basic printing and copying works as expected. In addition to printing from mobile devices there is an SD card slot in the front for printing photos direct from a memory card. Epson even has a few builtin forms (lined paper, graph paper, music sheets, etc) are convenient but likely only useful for randomly needing a single form or two. A few things I wish were improved at the price point are forgivable at the cost per page this printer offers. I would have liked a larger display; the 1.44” LCD is manageable but older users may be put off by the small print. This model does not have a paper cassette, instead only offering a rear paper feed. Depending on your placement, you may want to consider the premium EcoTank models that offer a cassette feed. Scanning to you computer is limited to USB/WDS but with out a document feeder you likely wouldn’t be scanning that many documents anyway. The printer does what I need flawlessly, being able to periodically AirPrint a photo or document without worrying about the printer having enough ink is a winner. If you are looking for a no frills printer that won’t burn your wallet with ink refills, the Epson ET-2760 is a great value and highly recommended.

I've been using this printer for a month now, and I love it. My previous one died after 7 years it was an Epson Photosmart, So I figured this was the next upgrade. It is, I love not having to buy cartridges, and the printer does everything advertised. If im lucky I won't have to buy another printer for another 7 years.

This printer (unlike every other printer I’ve ever had), was extremely easy to set up! I promise you that a 5 year old child could set it up properly. I picked it up from the store 30 minutes after I bought it, and 30 minutes later it was fully set up in my home office. The ink worried me at first, as you have to dispense it yourself, but it is super easy and mess-free!

When I saw the release of the Epson EcoTank ET-2760, I was excited by the prospect of having up to two years worth of ink without having to buy cartridges. In fact, this printer does not use cartridges - it uses ink storage tanks! The printer comes with four bottles of ink in black, red, blue, and yellow. The setup of the printer involves removing the blue strips of shipping tape from outside and inside the printer. Next is the filling of the ink tanks, which is done by pouring ink from the bottles into the individual containers. Do not worry, though. The process is as simple as raising the lid of the tank and inserting the nipple of the ink bottle into a slot at the top of the tank. The ink is gravity fed into the tank until it is full. Repeat the process for each color to fill the tanks completely. Next is the powerup and putting the printer into setup mode. This takes around 10 minutes and then is followed by printer head alignment. The Wi-fi configuration was a little painful since there is no keyboard and you have to use a tiny screen on the panel for switching through numbers and letters. A network configuration sheet confirms the settings. For registration of the printer, a sheet with the instructions is printed. Once the wi-fi configuration was completed, it was easy to locate the printer and print from my computers and devices. To take advantage of the scanning ability of the printer, I downloaded the ET-2760 Drivers and Utilities installer from the Epson.com site. A test scan of a full-color magazine cover in both PDF and JPG formats appeared correctly on my desktop computer. Scanned images can also be sent to a memory card, as an email format to a computer, and as WSD format to a computer. Photo quality copying of the color magazine cover appeared with clear and sharp details without any skipping or streak lines in the copy. Printing of a photograph onto photo paper also was clear and bright without any streaking. Overall, I highly recommend the Epson EcoTank ET-2760 printer for any home business or small business. It might be a bit overwhelming, setting it up and using as a personal home printer, but if you have some technical skills, you might be very comfortable with it. My only complaint with the printer is the very tiny display screen for the menu controls, which requires me to put on my reading glasses.

So far this unit has been working fine. It did take me awhile to get it set up. It's a compact unit so it fits on my boat well with limited space. A bit pricy but hopefully it will pay off with less ink cartridges etc.

The Epson EcoTank Et-2760 was very easy to install using Bluetooth & my Mac Pro. The printer ink colors produced beautiful pictures for my photos & waterslides. I love that this printer doesn’t use ink cartridges, but no mess ink bottles. Definitely a money saver! I’ve only had this printer a few weeks. The only con at this time is the extremely small print on the front panel. Otherwise I would definitely recommend this printer.
