Your home needs a printer that’s fast, affordable, easy to use, and has great features. That’s why we developed the EcoTank ET-2850 – an innovative cartridge-free solution that uses high-capacity, easily refillable ink tanks. So you’ll worry less about running out of ink, and save a lot on replacement ink (1). The ET-2850 features outstanding print quality, auto-duplex printing, a high-resolution flatbed scanner, and convenient color display – making it the perfect family printer.
A: My last EcoTank had no issues with very occasional printing. I too only print here & there. Sometimes, once every 2 months & I’ve never had the problem of frozen or clogged print heads. I only upgraded to a new EcoTank printer because I wanted more capabilities. If you’re still concerned, though for me it was a non issue, perhaps bring up a notepad on your cell & draw 4 lines, 1 in each color (black, blue, yellow, red) & print it once every couple weeks. ;-)
A: Hi Bobg26, Using the Epson T502 refill bottles, the EcoTank ET-2850 is designed for, you can expect an average of 7,500 black pages and 6,000 color pages. You do not need the other colors to print using black, but if one of more colors is expended, we recommend refilling them as soon as possible to avoid having ink dry around the print nozzles. This could potentially cause clogs. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
Q: Is this printer able to do sublimation printing?
A: Indeed you can but if you plan to use this printer for sublimation DO NOT use the ink that comes with it. Be sure you install the sublimation ink from the very beginning. Of course doing so will void all warranties with Epson I believe, so keep that in mind!
Q: Where do you load the paper? Sticking out the back or ?
A: Hi Rebel, The EcoTank ET-2850 has a rear feed tray that holds 100 sheets of plain paper. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A: Hello. Yes, the ET-2850 does not require a CD to complete the setup. You can download the latest print driver software from our official Epson Support page to set up and install your printer. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
Q: Does the printer print double sided pages?
A: Hello Lookingfor. Yes, the ET-2850 includes automatic 2-sided printing functionality for paper up to 8.5" x 11" in size. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
Q: Can you use card with this printer (single sided printing).? Thank you
A: I have yet to ever find this Thick Paper setting on my ET-2850 and I have done so many online searches to try and find how or where I find this setting and not found any answers. Please can you tell me where to find it. I have gone through all the paper setting options when reloading paper, I have tried going through the Epson photo printing software, through PowerPoint, printing as an image from documents... nothing has a Thick Paper option in the printer settings. I am so sick and tired of having blurred grainy pictures, I might as well not have bought a colour printer. I use the Epson Photo papers and it's just as shocking quality. I am so disappointed.
Q: Does this print on 65lb cardstock?
A: I just purchased this exact printer and was able to print on 65lb cardstock just fine. Now i only tested it with 1 sheet of cardstock in the tray. So not sure if it will feed through if there are more than 1 sheet in the paper tray
