QuestionWill the ink dry out if not used very much?
Asked 3 years ago by bob.
- Answer Hello 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

QuestionHow can I print in 1:1 scale with Epson Smart Panel App? It always prints images and documents with wrong sizes (measures differ from design to print by several mm). I have the correct settings for paper size and type in printer and app. Thanks!
Asked 2 years ago by Hamt.
- Answer Hi Hamt, Make sure you are set Smart Panel to print with borders. The app expands borderless prints slightly to fill the sheet you are printing on. If this does not solve your issue, call the Epson support number on the Start Here poster that came with your EcoTank Photo ET-8500 for further assistance. Regards, Dylan - The Epson Team.

Asked 2 years ago by GP.

QuestionWill this printer still print in black and white if one of the other colors are out but black ink is still available?
Asked 3 years ago by Somba.
- Answer Hello Somba. You want to ensure there is enough ink remaining in the printer for all colors, as there are no temporary print options when the tank is expended. Unfortunately, if the printer detects that any colors are empty, it will not function until you have refilled the respective color. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

QuestionHi.I want to use the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8500 for printing flyers on letter plain paper. Is that possible ?
Asked 3 years ago by Ernesto.
- Answer It should print flyers exceedingly well. If large patches of color or,black, will need some drying time. Plain Letter paper works very well. Tray holds 50 sheets, I think, so depending on quantity needed, you will be filling tray again.
