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
- 4. Based on average monthly document print volumes of about 200 pages.
- 5. See www.epson.com/voice for device compatibility. Epson Connect account and voice-activated account registration required.
- 6. Most features require an Internet connection to the printer, as well as an Internet- and/or email-enabled device. For a list of Epson Connect enabled printers and compatible devices and apps, visit www.epson.com/connect
- 7. Requires Epson Smart Panel app download. Data usage fees may apply.

A: This Epson printer has a 250-sheet paper tray capacity.
Q: Does this printer have 2-sided scanning through the ADF?
A: The question was "will this scanner scan both sides using its automatic document feeder." Just because it has an ADF and can p-r-i-n-t two-sided, does not mean it will SCAN both sides of a document in ADF mode. I got burned on this issue with the ET-3760 which I was led to believe did double sided scanning thru its ADF and it DOES NOT.
Q: What is the difference between the ET-3850 and the ET-2850?
A: Hello TC. The main difference between both printers is that the ET-3850 includes an auto document feeder. This allows you to load up to 30 plain paper pages and scan multi-page documents more efficiently. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

Great for homeschooling and household office
I purchased the Epson EcoTank ET-3850 printer to replace one that used ink very fast. A few years ago, I purchased a Canon for $20 on Black Friday at another store. That $20 printer cost me $50-60 in ink every 150 pages. So far with the Epson, I have printed about 100 pages with very little ink missing from the tanks. I like being able to see the ink in the tanks. I always wondered if the other ink cartridges actually contained much ink. I only use the printer for homeschooling and household office printing. The printer is perfect for my purposes. It is very fast compared to my old printer and also pretty quiet compared to the other, though not as quiet as some others might like. I was able to print double sided with the top copy master feed. I liked this feature, but I am not able to double side print when sending documents from my computer. If there were a way to do this, I would love it. Maybe I just need to figure out how to use the printer, but this is not as important to me as might be to some. I just print out the documents single sided then use the copy feature to double side print. The printer makes it easy. So far, I have used cardstock as well as regular paper. I have no use for printing pictures out on picture paper. I think the printer uses less ink on the paper than my previous printer which is another advantage because the double sided copies consequently do not stick or get jammed. There have been no jams so far, so another plus for the machine. Set up was easy. The software updated automatically. The buttons on the front are easy to navigate even intuitively. I would have preferred a touch screen, but I chose a more budget friendly model. The buttons are not hard to use, though. Everything makes sense. The printer prints well using the app from my phone or my laptop and desktop computers. I have had no difficulties connecting to my computers. We use Apple phones and computers. I really like the printer. It fit my needs perfectly. Though it is pricier than the $20 one, the Epson EcoTank 3850 will more than make up for it in savings on the cost of ink.

Epson EcoTank is the one to buy!
This is my second Epson EcoTank purchased from Best Buy and I just love them (if you can love a printer...lol). I use one for normal printing and copy making, and the other I use for crafting. The set up is super easy and Epson walks you through it. I also like the smaller size of the printer as it saves space. The best thing is that the printer comes with a full charge of ink and saves you tons of money in not having to buy refill cartridges. If you are looking for a printer/copier/scanner for crafting, personal printing and copies, or for use in a small business, this is the one to buy!

Compact and versatile all in one printer for home
I needed a compact all in one printer for my small apartment. I also wanted to get away from the huge expense of ink cartridges as I print a lot especially in color. I had never purchased an Epson printer before. My previous printer was a Brother which was fast and versatile but huge with costly ink cartridges. I love this Epson printer. It can fit on the same desk as my 27" iMac and I love the refillable ink which is easy to see when it needs to be refilled. The speed for printing isn't as fast as I am used to, but its acceptable. The only thing I would change would be that the home screen was a touch screen. Its not a touch screen - you have to use the arrow keys to use the menu which isn't as intuitive as I would like, but I can live with it. I believe the model above it has a touch screen but it also has a fax machine which I didn't need. The colors are great and I am very happy with my purchase.
