Epson - Expression EcoTank ET-2650 Wireless All-In-One Printer - Black

it is good printer. I little experience with it so far. Not had time to get into it yet. I have a plan work get time do it

This is a review for the Epson Expression ET-2650 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. Pros: * Wireless printing!!!! It's *amazing* being able to print documents and images directly from my phone, computer and tablet! It's the kind of feature that alone makes this All-in-one a great option for a small business owner like myself who does work around the clock but not always at my desk. * Relatively small footprint with a sleek look. * Everything is included needed to set up and get going! * Scanner quality is PHENOMENAL. Consistent in terms of quality with the $3000 professional scanner I normally use. * This printer-scanner-copier could easily eliminate several other types of equipment in my office and bring me to a cleaner, wireless, minimalist aesthetic. Cons: * Set up was a little more complicated than expected. There is a lot of blue tape holding the printer together, and I damaged pulled off one of the printer flaps just trying to remove the tape. * Injecting the ink into the reserve tanks was messy and dangerous. I did get ink on myself even though I was extremely careful. Pulling off the vacuum seal on the bottles was the most scary part. * I've had problems initiating scans at the machine to be sent to my desktop. I just can't get that function to work, or may not be understanding the limitations of functions initiated at the device itself. Had some initial errors scanning at my computer as well - initiating the function was just a little buggy. * The machine can be extremely slow to warm up, scan, and print relative to the standalone devices I already use. A basic scan took about 30 seconds, and I've seen the printer take as long as 3 minutes to wake up and wirelessly print a single page from a tablet though it's usually quite a bit quicker if already active. * I can smell the ink anytime I'm near the printer; it has a chemical smell that some may be sensitive to. For the printer quality itself, the inks are vibrant in color, but I have not yet found how to print in anything but draft mode from my phone or tablet. So the print quality is efficient but low, unless there are other settings to explore that I haven't found yet. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the new workability this all-in-one printer offers -- and the flexibility it gives my workspace to do a lot more in a smaller area. I'm excited to see how the value of the eco tank inks play out compared to cartridge based printers. As long as I don't have to inject the inks in the printer more than once a year, I'll probably be happy with this one in the long term. IMO the scanner is its best asset!

Easy, economical, and exquisite! The Epson Expression ET-2650 EcoTank All-in-One Printer is all this and much, much more. It is one of the best overall, feature rich, productivity enhancing devices that I have ever had the pleasure of using. If you are in the market for a new device for your home or small office, and want to save money on those dreaded ink cartridges, while producing quality copies, prints, and scans, look no further. This is a review for the Epson Expression ET-2650 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. Unpacking, software installation, thumbing through the easy to understand product manual, setup, and conducting multiple printer tests were all done in a breeze, and accomplished in under an hour. This included the time it took to fill up and prime the super sized ink tanks and connect the printer to WiFi for wireless printing. Other features on this Epson Expression ET-2650 of note: 1) Loading tray in the back that is flush with the unit when closed. It makes for easy transportation from one place to another. 2) Printer offers useful, built in templates for producing wide ruled notebook paper, thin ruled paper, graph paper, music paper, weekly calendars, and monthly calendars. 3) Ink bottles have very clear instructions on how to insert the ink into the printer. But, there is a little bit of a learning curve to complete this task mess free. The bottles either have a snap off lid or one that you unscrew. I received the snap off lid type. It is a genius idea! Once you snap off the lid you use the reverse side to put it back on and secure it for later use! 4) Epson Connect - I did this and I love this feature! Your printer has its own email address, and allows a user to print anywhere in the world! 5) And finally, one of the main reasons to get this printer – saving money! If you print a lot of things, you could potentially save hundreds of dollars with this piece of equipment. Black and white and color copy quality is excellent for a home printer. It can’t compete on photo quality with high-end photo printers and processors, but home users, students, and small office owners should be quite satisfied. The manufacturer suggests that enough ink is included to print up to 4000 black and white pages and 6500 color copies. With this printer, there is no need to purchase high cost cartridges. Just buy genuine replacement ink refill bottles at a much lower retail price than many other competing manufacturers and refill ink reservoirs on your own. After “test driving” this Epson Expression ET-2650 EcoTank All-in-One Printer for the past week, I can now happily donate my old printer, and put this new and improved device to daily use in the home.

I have been using this Epson Expression ET-2650 EcoTank All-In-One printer for about a week now and I am very impressed with all aspects of this model. The box includes the printer, a power cord, four ink bottles, a disk, detailed information, instructions and a quick start guide. The setup was very easy and fast after reading through the guide. This was my first time seeing a printer with ink tanks like the ones on this machine but if you're careful it is pretty easy. After removing all of the protective covering and filling the ink tanks you do have to charge these ink tanks and that took around 15 min or so. Setting the language and wireless connection was also very easy. They provide step by step instructions on all of this and installing the software from the disc provided but all together the setup took me no time or trouble. Part of the high rating I gave this printer is because there are so many amazing features on this device. This is the first printer I have seen that comes with enough ink to print up to 4,000 pages or is equal to 2 years of ink. The size of this printer is still small enough for your desktop and with the built in wireless there are not a bunch of cords to hide and it doesn’t look bad. It is so easy and convenient to print directly from my iPhone or iPad from any room in the house and it's been great for my kids homework and school assignments also. The print quality is perfect and has all of the options to clean, align, and even create. There are also apps in the app store for creating collages, coloring pages, greeting cards and more right from your phone. This printer is amazing and makes sense. With ink today costing more than the actual printer itself, I am glad to have this one.

After I received the printer, I unboxed it and started to set up. I normally don't like reading manuals so I can't really comment much about the quality of the documentation, but I can tell you that it was straightforward to install the cartridges, even though I've never seen a printer with similar cartridges. Traditional cartridges only require the user to snap the new one in after pulling out the old cartridge, but that's not the case with this printer. You have 4 little bottles of ink, that you need to open it up and fill into the printer. I really like that the printer has a wifi feature and as long as you're connected to the same network, you can print it remotely. I have to mention this again, that I work in technology field and pretty used to decipher all kinds of menu's, but I think the little screen to setup your wifi and other settings could be replaced by a small touch screen with more user friendly interface. The current screen and buttons are not so easy to type for example your wifi password, especially if your password is not password:) As far as the performance, I've tried printing B&W documents and it's pretty fast and great quality, but then I tried to print a photo on a Office Depot premium photo paper ( 9 MIL | 63LB ) and I was not thrilled with the quality. Please see the attached image, which is a screenshot of the printed image. Also, you can compare to the original digital version of this image at http://nersophotography.com/julie-michelle-kida Overall, I think it's a good printer.

the printer works great when using the wify, the quality of the images is good and I'm looking forward on the savings in ink.

Having already owned an Epson Workforce printer, I was skeptical this Epson Expression EcoTank ET-2650 Wireless All-In-One Printer would alleviate the majority of my pain points. Firstly, the unpacking was a breeze with clearly marked instructions and an online video tutorial from Epson. The ink tank is visible and easy to navigate. Filling the ink compartment (although a tad messy), took only a few minutes. After following the visible prompts, I was able to connect easily to my Wi-Fi. The driver installation was intuitive. The quality of the print job was even better than I expected with no dithering, streaks or smudges. Multiple pages in succession printed smoothly. I also tested the multi-functional features from the scanner to the fax. Both performed effortlessly and were very responsive. The unit is compact but definitely packs a punch. Touted for its no waste approach (with a two year supply of liquid ink), I can definitely see how this printer would be both economical and efficient over time. Unlike my Epson Workforce printer whose ink cartridge jams and constantly dries up, this new Epson Expression EcoTank ET-2650 is a welcome surprise and an innovative addition in assisting me with both my productivity and business needs. *This is a review for the Epson Expression ET-2650 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Whatever you do, fill up all the ink tanks as soon as you buy them and make them last. Refills are a pain. I filled the color tanks, ran a test print and the color was not printing. Cleaned the nozzles, did another test print and the problem continued. Just buy a printer with ink cartridges. (Included two test print with only the black and white pattern)
