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

Q: QuestionDoes the ET-3830 come with a USB cable in the box to connect it to the desktop?(2 answers)
A: AnswerHi, It does not include a USB cable. The EcoTank ET-3830 has a standard USB port. To connect it to a computer, you must have a USB 2 Type-A to Type-B cable. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.Answered by Epson
Q: QuestionCan I use sublimation ink with this printer? If not what's a good suggestion.(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi CRob. The Epson ET-3830 was not designed for dye-sublimation printing nor the use of non-genuine Epson ink cartridges. Using sublimation ink in this printer could damage the print head and impact warranty coverage. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.Answered by Epson
- A: AnswerHi CKLakeForest, The EcoTank ET-3830 can print on Epson Photo Quality Self Adhesive paper, so it is possible. We do not test every third-party sticker paper so we cannot guarantee print quality. Please make sure any sticker paper you try is ink jet compatible. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.

Q: QuestionDoes the Epson ET-3830 handle printing on card stock well?(2 answers)
A: AnswerHi Cheryl, We do not test card stock with the EcoTank ET-3830, so cannot guarantee print quality. The heaviest Epson paper for the printer is 44 lb. Premium Presentation Paper Matte. That is probably the upper range of paper weight for the ET-3830. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.Answered by Epson

Happy with this printer
I was tired of constantly running out of ink, and having to find places that still carried the cartridges for my epson 5100, which were getting harder to find and more expensive. Plus the old printer just seemed to be going through an insane amount of ink where id run out a few weeks after putting a new one in... without even printing much. SO i made the choice to upgrade to this super capacity model and at the same time bought ink refills since if i could, i would print more. Its been a YEAR and i've printed A FEW THOUSAND sheets in color, yet my ink is still over half full!!!! I haven't had a single issue with it, no clogged print heads, no sloppy ink, no smudging, no paper jams. Its pretty easy to setup on my phone and pc, holds its network connection (wifi) without issue, and scanning docs fully functional and can be emailed to you, or printed w the copy function. Refilling the ink could get messy only if you're clumsy and really the only thing i could complain about if i HAD to come up with a complaint, is that i didn't opt for the touch screen version so sometimes, ill click the display line a dork and then go duh and use the actual buttons lol. Super cheap cost to own, as the whole printer + ink costs less at purchase than i would've spent over the year for ink catridges with my other one. Does not have an autofeed option for dual sided scanned documents so you need to scan one side and flip the page to scan the other yourself, but i hardly need to use that feature. Id definately but this one again :) So simple, even a parrot can use it LOL

Incredible Disappointed!
Please don’t purchase this one- it has ongoing issues staying connected to WiFi and often won’t reconnect. Apparently many people have experienced this same issue and getting support from Epson Support is sketchy at best. Most of the time it take 4-6 calls to resolve the issue, download the patch, update the driver, or whatever they decide the issue might be that particular day. Multiple times we’ve been told to call back later because the tech would not know how to resolve the problem. We only print 10 pages or less each month, so buying a new printer seems like such a waste when the one we have is still like new. Finally exhausted with the problem, 14 months later we contacted Best Buy Geek Squad today. Hopefully they can help us more than Epson Support. If the printer functioned properly it would have been an awesome purchase, as I like the ink wells (no cartridge), wireless capability, print/scan/ copy abilities, compact size, print quality, and two-side printing; however, none of those features matter when the thing won’t work!!

Just Buy It
Hands down the best printer I've ever owned. Prior to this I had the Epson XP440 and there was always some problem. Heads always needed cleaned and aligned every single use. It was such a hassle and ink always ran out and print quality was trash. The quality of this ecotank is phenomenal, truly. I printed off cake toppers for my nieces birthday cake and the quality was so good everyone thought I had bought them. I homeschool and have printed off countless worksheets so far and the ink has barely moved. I'd buy this thing a million times over
