Epson - WorkForce EcoTank ET-4750 Wireless All-in-One Printer - Black

Workforce ET-4750 EcoTank All-In-One Setup for this type of printer was easy, at first I guessed the weight is about 10 to 15 pounds, website shows it is 16 pounds, so not that heavy, but keep in mind every person may have a different opinion. When opening the package you will get 2 years of ink in the box: 2 sets of bottles each for each color, so you will get 2 black(T502), 2 cyan(T502), 2 magenta(T502), and 2 yellow(T502) ink bottles. The ink you have with this printers equivalent to 30 sets of ink cartridges. Also the price of ink may vary store to store, overall the prices are fair. Refilling the printer with ink took me less than 10 minutes to do, but each person's experience will be different. The printer has a an auto stop function when refilling, so when you go to refill black for example when the ink is full, the process will stop filling and you may or may not have ink left over. Also in the box will be the power cord, manual, and CR-Rom / Software. Once your printer is out of box you have a couple different options, to either plug in via Ethernet or via Wireless, you can as well plug the printer into your PC via usb cord. For the average user, setup should be easy if needing to go ahead use setup guide, if you have issues beyond that as I know everyone is different, then reach out to Epson support. So I went ahead did set the printer up on my network with both Ethernet and Wireless capabilities, then plugged the USB into my Workstation PC. Over all setup was easy for me and in timely manner. I as well when setting up printers did not use the CD/software that comes with it, I prefer manual setups. For the average user I would suggest using the CD / software that comes with your product, but of course this depends on your tech savviness. So in my opinion I can see this printer being used in both a small or medium side business environment or person use. It would mainly depend on how many pages the user is wanting to print, if you are needing a printer to print a lot of pages in a given amount of time then this printer is for you. Also I went ahead tested how this printer works with copying and printing from a book, images from the internet, documents, as well tried the 2 sided printing and quality of each print was good in my book. Side note for 2 sided printing: I will point out for those who may happen to read this review, you may see some say this printer does not support 2 sided printing, as stated on the box and Epson website, but it does in fact support this. It took me a while to figure it out, you have to make sure when doing 2 sided printing you open the top feed bay as I will call it and on the top tray put the pages facing up, the printer will scan/copy each page needing to be printed 2 sided. The process in my opinion was fast and easy, but take into consideration it will depend on each user and how many pages you are needing to print at a time. The speed of the prints were fast, but again this will depend on each user. I preferably wish the following were possible in my opinion: bigger touch screen, 5Ghz Wi-Fi Network Connection, front USB and memory slot, as stated I would like to have seen these, but not a big deal, but overall wished the printer did support the 5GHz network connection I mentioned. Pros: Energy Star Qualified. Print/Copy/Scan/Fax. Ethernet port capability. USB cord to PC in case you wish to not be Wi-Fi. Duplex Printing. EcoTank, an upgrade to having to replace ink cartridges all the time. Supports 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi Connection Prints 14,000 Pages black & 11,200 Pages Color. Cons: higher price than other printers. Screen size is small 2.4 color touchscreen. Does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi connection. No USB in front. No memory card print options. So the number one question to ask is, would I recommend this, and the answer would be yes. I have own several printers in my life and the number one issue I faces was having to replace each ink cartridge which can be an issue depending on different situations. With the Ecotank it is life and time saver. Life saver because you have a tank of ink, you do not have to go and buy ink cartridges all the time, example say you are a college student or writing a report for your job and you run out of ink, stores closed and unable to print what is due within couple hours or next day. (everyone experience is different of course), Well having the ecotank, which is equivalent to 30 sets ink cartridges, allows you to have more ink on hand and even better yet with this printer you are given 2 years of ink, which basically depends on how much you print. To add depending on your budget, may depend on if you want to get this printer now or wait for a price drop, or even a sale. Overall I used the printer to do a lot of copying of medical papers, printing research, and photos. The quality of photos was great as I used Epson photo paper and standard paper, remember quality will depend on the style of paper used for whatever may be printed.

Beta testers review of the Epson WorkForce ET-4750 EcoTank All-in-One Printer Unboxing the printer In the box you get the printer, documentation (Setup and User Guide), Two year’s worth of ink (2 black, 2 yellow, 2 blue and 2 red) and the software installation CD. Once the printer is removed from the box it just takes minutes to remove the tape and other packing materials from the printer. After removing all of the packing material, I reviewed the setup instructions and found that they were very helpful and precise. The step by step instruction provided in the box was very easy to follow for the initial setup before turning on the printer. Filling the ink reservoirs was very easy and no mess was seen while adding the ink to the reservoir. There will be left in the bottles after filling the reservoir. Just store these in a cool place until you can add it to the printer. Printer Setup The printer setup took about 30 minutes to complete. The first step was the install paper in the paper try and turn on the printer. The printer will begin asking the user what type of paper was installed. After the paper type is confirmed the printer then moves into the printer alignment process. Once the alignment is complete the printer will ask the user how the printer will be setup on their network. There are two ways to setup the printer on your network either through a network cable or wireless. I picked wireless which was easy to setup. Once the printer was connected to the network, the printer reached out to Epson server and found a new firmware to install. I allowed the printer to update the firmware which took about 10 minutes to complete. Over all the setup was easy and the step by step screen instructions helped move the process along. PC setup Installing the software on my Windows 10 PC was quick and easy to do. The CD provides step by step instructions. During the setup the software was able to locate the printer on my network and install all available drivers and applications without any issues. Installing the software on my MAC was also easy and the step by step instructions were very helpful. The installation only took 10 minutes to complete on both systems from start to finish. Printing and Scanning from the PC Printing from my PC is easy to preform and the print was fast. It was done printing before I realized it. I do feel that printing duplex and in color takes a little longer. Printing two sided was easy to select and you can also make it a default in the printer setting. Scanning from the PC was simple to preform via the scanning software provided by Epson. I was able to send the scan to anywhere I indicated in the software. Printing and Scanning from the MAC Printing from the MAC just as easy from any application. My wife’s job requires her to print a lot of pages daily. The printer kept up with it without any issues. Printing two sided was easy to select and you can also make it a default in the printer setting. Scanning was also done just like the PC. Printing from Mobile Phone or Tablet Printing from my mobile devices and tablets were simple the software was installed and printer was added to the profile. I was able to print PDF and any website. Having this option is great and it helps if you want to send something to your printer at home and remotely. Overall reaction Overall this printer was very user friendly, quick to setup and use. This device could be used as a home based business printer or a printer for a small office. The two-sided printing which helps with paper costs and being environment friendly. Storing the ink is easy and does not take up a lot room unlike traditional ink cartridges. At this time I’m not able to find any problems with the printer. I have no complaints and it and works just as I expected it to. Look forward to seeing what I can print or scan next with my Epson Workforce EcoTank All-in-one Printer. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ET-4750 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

I've owned three printers over the past 14 years. A 2004 Epson that worked perfectly for 8 years before it needed replacement, a 2012 HP that lasted 4 1/2 years and a Canon that only made it for 1 1/2 years. All were mid - high grade / mid - high dollar (for home use) models. While I considered going with a "Brother" printer this time around I just couldn't get around how great my original Epson was and went to their web site to check out their current offerings. The WorkForce Eco Tank series immediately struck me because, as we've all come to know, printer ink cartridges are ridiculously over priced and, over the long haul, will run you two to three times the price you paid for the printer you're installing them in. The idea of getting around two years of ink included in the purchase price of the printer was just too much of a savings to pass up. I'd originally decided, from my research at Epson's web site, to purchase the ET-3750. It pretty much met all of my needs and the MSRP was outstanding when you include the ink. When I went to Best Buy, (one of my very few "go to" sites), I found that they were offering the ET-4750 at $100 dollars off which made it the same price as the ET-3750. Going back to Epson's web site I learned the ET-4750 would up the tray capacity from 150 sheets to 250 sheets and add the ability to fax. I'm not a fax person but, the extra hundred sheets X increased product value made the upgrade to the ET-4750 a done deal. As usual, Best Buy provided a fast delivery to my front door and I was able to complete the setup in less than an hour. The first print from a website confirmed my opinion of Epson. The definition of each printed letter was outstanding. Far better than any I'd gotten from my HP and light years better than the Canon ever delivered. My wife and I are both 63 years old and any blurred lettering is terrible for us. The ET-4750 provided the definition of crisp clarity. We both continue to be highly pleased. My earlier printers were rated "photo" printers so I worried that the ET-4750 might lack in color reproduction. Up front ..... I'm not using this printer for creating photographs on photo paper. I'm using it for printing web pages and copying documents. Web pages come out looking like mirror images and copies are hard to tell from originals. I've only owned this printer for a few months but I already consider it much better than my old HP and far better than the Canon. It's not a photo printer. If you're a photographer I suggest sticking with Epson but checking out their specialty photo printers. For everyone else ....... considering the high definition print and color accuracy and especially the amount of ink included as well as future ink expenditures, just buy it. No other printer I could find offered any competition. Nothing came close. Note* I've not used the fax machine portion of this printer. I'd guess it's totally "up to snuff". I just don't fax from my home at this point and don't know if I ever will. I'm old fashioned. No social networking, no texting, etc. Quality of print X Color reproduction X Price for what you get are the baselines for my review. One more note* The footprint of the ET-4750, (including the huge ink tanks), is smaller than any of my previous printers. It's truly the smallest of the lot. Width, Depth and Height are all less than I would have expected from a printer that provides all that the ET-4750 delivers.

This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ET-4750 EcoTank Wireless All-in-One Supertank Printer. This printer is impressive. First of all, the ET-4750 is described an “All-in-One,” allowing for printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. I’m one of the dinosaurs still needing a traditional fax, and this unit works well. The 30-sheet auto-document feed is very nice if that kind of non-monitored feature is helpful. However, if not, and faxing is not a requirement, save yourself $100 and look at the ET-2750 for parallel features on everything else. This printer set-up is accomplished via USB (cable not included) or wireless network connection. First impression out of the box was that the printer is nicely compact. Total setup took about 75 minutes, from out of the box to production. The process was straight forward – no mess whatsoever on the color or black ink fill – nicely designed. You could skip some steps to shorten the software process, but I wanted full capability from the get-go, so downloaded and engaged everything. Definitely read the “START HERE” guide for installation instructions first. Because of the unique ink system, this is a critical advisory in this case. Specifically, do not connect to the printer until all steps are completed for ink tank fill and charging (about 10m). Print alignment is next for vertical and horizontal optimization (another 5m). While the printer is going through its steps, and while still not yet connected, install the software by downloading from www.Epson.com, even if you have the CD, for the most current application. Even when using the CD for the download, it will recommend running a check for updates from the website, so save yourself a step and go directly to the website from the start. Functionality, quality, as well as print, scan, copy, and faxing speeds are certainly respectable for a home or small business application. This is all definitely in line with and anticipated for a printer in this price range. The unit works very hard, but I would be willing to sacrifice some of the speed for a quieter machine. The automatic double-sided printing feature worked smoothly after designating the print job as such in print options. It saves paper; however, you will likely not want to use bargain paper to minimize bleed-through from the heavy ink coverage. Ink is the big story on this line of printers, and it comes with a very generous supply. Epson claims a full set of tanks can last up to two years. Assuming the two-year estimate is correct, and based upon the current price of replacement ink [approx. $62—or $31 per year], this printer/ink combo seems like a bargain. So I’m willing to pay a bit more upfront and minimize ongoing concern about all of the replacement cartridges of other models or brands. Viewing the ink levels from the front of the printer is a nice plus, but it is a bit difficult due to the opaqueness of the ink tank themselves (good lighting will improve this visibility). There is also a utility within the printer that tells you exactly how much ink is left, along with other stats. The 2.4” LCD screen is interactive but too small and lacks contrast for easy readability. It does, however, allow you to preview your images on the screen and edit them before you print. Note that this printer supports Google Cloud print, Apple AirPrint, as well as its own cloud printing service/mobile app called “Epson Connect.” Overall, Epson did not disappoint here and I would recommend. I would have given it 5 stars except for the small LCD screen and the noise it generates. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ET-4750 EcoTank Wireless All-in-One SuperTank Printer that I received free of charge to conduct a beta test and review.

I replaced an HP 7525 All-in-one printer, because it broke. I was attracted to the ET-4750 because it looked more robust, was newer, and because of the printed page output. The printed page on the Epson 4750 is not as clear as it was on my 10 year old HP 7525, but the biggest disappointment is in the scanning department. I do have frequent need to scan documents, which is the whole reason that I bought a multifunction unit instead of a straight up printer. I was used to scanning stacks of about 15-18 pages on my HP via the ADF, of two-sided documents. That old HP didn't automatically process the two-sided pages, rather, it scanned one side and then prompted me to re-insert the stack of pages upside down so that it could scan the second side. The software shuffled the pages of the scan so that the pages of the resulting pdf document would be in the correct order. (For example, when scanning a stack of 10 pages which are double sided, it would scan pages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 but the order would be corrected before the pdf file was saved so that the pages would come out in the correct order.) I assumed that the ET-4750 would offer that same capability, especially when considering that the ET-4750 is ten years newer and costs 3 times as much as that old HP. WRONG. The ET-4750 does NOT PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT for two sided document scanning. I've scoured the user manual, the internet, and even had a couple of contacts with Espon Technical Support. Nope, the 4750 does not support any such thing, Hard to believe. I'm left with having to either settle for the pages of scan jobs coming out in the wrong order (unacceptable), or handling each page, one at a time, upon scanning (also unacceptable). This is a simple software programming issue for Epson. Their ADF hardware is no different than HP's, and whereas HP solved the problem with software, Epson does not. This is lacking. Epson, please fix this. Please release updated software that allows the ET-4750 to compete with the decade old HP 7525 which costs 2/3 less.

I thought that by spending more money this would be a great printer. IT IS NOT! It prints really, really slow-if you have multiple things to print or a really big print job plan on waiting all day for it to finish. While printing it doesn't show you how many pages have printed or how many you have left, nor does it show up in my "printers" on my desktop, it only shows that one document is printing. Scanning and trying to save to my computer is a nightmare. The program is not at all user friendly (no, I'm not a novice), after two months I still haven't got the hang of it, the program is seriously one of the worst that I have ever used. Every time I replace paper to print on (or even open the tray) I have to push buttons saying it is the same paper that I was using before I can print-ridiculous! AND when you put paper in the tray sometimes it gets pushed too far back because there is nothing stopping it, there's no way to know if you've pushed it too far back (and get jammed when you push the tray in) or not far enough for the rollers to pick up. I've printed on card stock and it wouldn't let me change the setting to card stock but also wouldn't let me print on regular paper when I tried to change it. I finally gave up, rebooted the printer and just agreed that it was the same regular paper that I was using before and it finally printed. I tried putting smaller paper through (card stock thank you notes) but they kept getting jammed in the back because there is this big space between the rollers right in the middle and it doesn't pull it through. Yes, I adjusted the holder to the smaller size, the issue was the big hole in the back of the tray-there wasn't anything to stop the cards from going too far back when I pushed the tray in and the rollers wouldn't catch it. I tried printing one check on it, same thing except it jammed because it was a smaller length and the rollers couldn't push it through all the way. I ended up taping it to a blank piece of paper and then it went through. I've been so frustrated with this thing I've finally given up after two months and bought a new HP printer. The HP I had before finally died after 7 years after a lot of daily use (hence buying the Epson) so now I have bought a newer model HP and love it-just like I did before! Lesson learned-a more expensive printer does not mean it is better!

I purchased this product because I wanted color, wireless, auto 2 sided printing, a document feeder, and a decent size paper tray "cassette". Though these are all features of the product, set up limits useable features. Set up took 1 hr and 20 min, fairly simple however there are steps that do not follow sequence on guide, overall not bad. Product feels like quality until you get to the paper tray "cassette" and out put tray which are thin and flimsy even the paper guide threatens to break with the slightest touch. Ink... I love the ink I understand that improvements were made and I have to say it is great. Not a drop spilled and even with the initial 10 minute ink charge it was painfree. Set up was completed for network wireless, meaning no wires from router to printer or printer to laptop. It was not difficult at all. However auto 2 sided printing is not an option, this has been confirmed by the 292 page user guide. I had no success with Wi-Fi direct either, meaning still no wires but instead of connecting laptop to internet you choose the printer to connect to. Wi-Fi direct set up also wonderful. However in order to change to a wires set up product must be uninstalled and reinstalled on laptop, and Wi-Fi has to be disabled on printer. Making the transition difficult to access auto 2 sided printing. Troubleshooting has great features. Though the touch screen is small it provides many options and "How To" walk throughs. One recommendation would be to list, "extend output tray" when having continuous no paper in cassette issue. Recommending to a friend... if I have to choose yes or no then the answer would be no. I believe a product is recommendable only if the features are useable. In short I would advise anyone to download and read through the pertent parts of the 292 page User Document from Epson to ensure it will meet their needs. I am returning the product, but will be researching to see if any other Epson EcoTanks will meet my needs. I am not hopeful as the price point was a bit high considering my needs and the prices only go up with functionality.

This is my first experience with Eco Tank Printer. Love at first sight ;). The package is good. The printer is small, lightweight and compatible. Box comes with 8 ink bottle, power cable and quick start guide and Software cd (no Ethernet cable), If we need to set up via Ethernet you have to take your own). Printer setup is very easy and quick start guide is also useful. No detail guide attached. Just follows the steps in the guide for the installation. I have completed the unpacking and installation in between 30 – 45 minutes. Epson claims that the ink will last you up to 2 years, which is equal to 30 set of cartridge. The most exciting part is we can take the printout up to 14000-page black/ 11200 Page color. So it is less expensive compared to any other printer. Initial cost is high for this product but cartridge cost is low, at the same time on other printers initial cost is low but the cost of the cartridge is high. Filling the ink is very easy. Uncap the tank (blue), open the bottle and place it on tank upside down. Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when ink filled to the upper line of the tank. Place the remaining ink aside. I was worried at the time of putting the ink into the printer and remove the bottle from the printer. Don’t worry, Ink will never spill out. Epson assembled the product very securely. The tanks that hold more ink than the normal cartridge and we can see the level of the ink. Close the tank and scanner unit. Turn on the printer. Then start setup. Follow the onscreen instruction. Ink charging takes about 10 min. After ink charging completes, we will get some space in tank to pour remainin ink from the bottle and fill the tank (Don’t waste ink ;) ). Register and driver setup in the system was easy. I did not use CD, downloaded setup software from Epson site. Installed Epson iprint app on mobile. The dashboard of the app is very simple and user-friendly. After that, I connected printer with the Wi-Fi, systems, and phone, only need to be done once. Then load the paper. We can load 250 papers in paper tray at once. We can adjust paper tray based on the size of the paper. Another interesting part is we can access print status sheet-like usage history sheet, Print counter, supply status sheet and configuration status sheet. Another one is print auto head cleaning and alignment. The location of the touch screen is not good. (We have to bend all the times if we need to use touch screen ;)). If the touchscreen is in slanting position, then managing the touch screen will be easy. All other features like printing, copy, scan, fax, USB are working fine. No way to copy to save the document. we can save the scanned document, but we need to scan documents one by one. But if they enable the option to copy to save document then it will be time-saving for us. We can change the resolution of scans. It will save ink. USB slot is in back side of the printer, which feels uncomfortable. Recommended memory slots. Print quality is outstanding. No fade or spots, ink dry very fastly after printout, No leakage, no smears or streaks. The speed of the print is also reasonable. Don’t compare with a laser printer in the case of photos, at the same time a normal color print is awesome. The printer operation is not very noisy. We do not have option to select two-side printing from touch screen, but we can select two-side printing from desktop print settings. Another interesting part is auto sleep. I would highly recommend this product to everyone especially for private use, this is a great product.
