QuestionSometimes I only print once per month or longer. I am concerned about the ink and print heads freezing up or not working. I have had to trash (2) printers in the past for this problem. Please advise. thanks
Asked 3 years ago by andy.
- Answer My 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. ;-)

QuestionHow many pages do you get just using black ink, and is this one of the printers that needs all color ink in order to print B&W?
Asked 3 years ago by Bobg26.
- Answer Hi 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.

QuestionIs this printer able to do sublimation printing?
Asked 4 years ago by Sublimation.
- Answer Indeed 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!

QuestionCan you use card with this printer (single sided printing).? Thank you
Asked 4 years ago by Benynsee.
- Answer I 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.

QuestionDo any of the EcoTank ET models have an output tray that automatically opens when a print job is sent from a computer? I do not want to have to manually open the output tray each time a print job is sent from a computer.
Asked 4 years ago by smer.
- Answer The Epson answer is correct. I sure wish it would automatically go back in though. You have to push the touch screen twice (3 if the screen went black) to get it retract, and then the spring powered door does not close. Epson could at least place the retract button on the first touchscreen page and strength the spring. (Epson, if you are reading this, please pass on to the engineers, thanks)

QuestionHow well does this print photos? Should I look else where?
Asked 2 years ago by Major.
- Answer Hi Major. The EcoTank ET-2850 is primarily designed for home and light-office document printing, but if you use Epson photo or photo matte paper and set it to high quality, the ET-2800 prints good photos. If you want excellent-quality photos, consider a printer from the Epson Expression line. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
