A:AnswerHello. The ET-8500 can print on No. 10-sized envelopes. There are two paper cassettes, and for envelopes, you can load up to ten in the lower tray. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello bob. The ET-8500 uses ink-jet technology. If the printer sits without usage for some time, you can potentially have print head issues. Therefore, we recommend doing user maintenance such as nozzle check printouts and head cleanings to help avoid ink clogging on the printer. Please see the User's Guide on our official Epson Support page for more helpful maintenance information. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team
A:AnswerYes it does high quality prints on both sides. But you cannot print on both sides of a photo paper since only one side of photo paper is good for printing.
