Legal Disclaimers
- 1. Actual savings and costs will vary considerably based on print tasks, print volumes and usage conditions. Savings and cost per ISO page are based on the cost of replacement ink bottles and the cost of enough standard cartridges to achieve the total page yields of the bottles using the MSRP (USD) and yields for Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured Epson consumer inkjet printers as of March 2024.
- 2. Individual cartridges estimate based on print yields of an included or replacement set of black and color ink bottles as compared to Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured printers as of March 2024.
- 3. Part of the ink from the included bottles is used for initial setup; yields are lower than those of replacement ink bottles. Replacement and included ink bottle yields based on the ISO/IEC 24712 pattern with Epson’s methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. All ink colors are used for printing and printer maintenance

- A: AnswerMy 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: AnswerHi 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: QuestionIs this printer able to do sublimation printing?(4 answers)
A: AnswerIndeed 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!Answered by Jre1025
Q: QuestionWhere do you load the paper? Sticking out the back or ?(2 answers)
A: AnswerHi Rebel, The EcoTank ET-2850 has a rear feed tray that holds 100 sheets of plain paper. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.Answered by Epson
- A: AnswerHello. 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: QuestionDoes the printer print double sided pages?(3 answers)
A: AnswerHello 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.Answered by Epson
Q: QuestionCan you use card with this printer (single sided printing).? Thank you(2 answers)
A: AnswerI 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.Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionDoes this print on 65lb cardstock?(2 answers)
A: AnswerI 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 trayAnswered by Anonymous

Happy with purchase so far
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.

Incredible Little Printer!
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 ;)

Epson 2850 printer
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.
