QuestionWould this be good for sublimation? Or could you recommend one of your good starter sublimation capable printers? Thanks in advance, and hope all is well.
Asked 4 years ago by Giantslayer915.
- Answer Hi Giantslayer915. The Epson ET-8500 was not designed for dye-sublimation printing nor the use of non-genuine Epson ink cartridges. Using sublimation ink in this printer could damage the print head and impact warranty coverage. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

QuestionCan it print on pvc cards?
Asked 4 years ago by Geberlin7.
- Answer Hi Geberlin7. Unfortunately, we have not tested the ET-8500 with PVC cards, so we cannot guarantee print functionality. We recommend reaching out to the PVC card manufacturer to confirm compatibility with our All-In-One inkjet printers. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

QuestionCould you please tell me if this printer can handle heavy cardstock, such as 130 lb. and 17 pt.? Also does it have a rear paper feed? I would like to use this for printing nice business cards and greeting cards. Thank you!
Asked 4 years ago by Recksie.
- Answer Hello Recksie. The heaviest paper the Epson ET-2800 supports is 27 lb (100 g/m2). The printer does have a rear paper feed for loading paper. If there is another card stock you are planning on using that meets this specification, make sure it is inkjet compatible and select Thick Paper in the printer driver when printing.

QuestionHow do i change the paper size on my Epson et 8550 to print on 11 by 17 paper in my rear tray Can I change it on my I phone or iPad?
Asked 3 years ago by Escalade.
- Answer The Epson rep stated in his answer that the Epson et-8500 can feed a paper sized at 11 x 17. This is incorrect. I've now purchased the et-8500 thinking that 11 x 17 was an available paper size and I'm super disappointed that a rep misrepresented the 8500.

QuestionHow often does one have to print to keep the head from drying out? Is the bulk ink better than the cartridges in this regard? Thank you.
Asked 5 years ago by Dave.
- Answer Hello Dave. With ink-jet printer technology, a printer can run into clogging issues if left without use at times. If you plan on using the ET-8500 daily, this should significantly reduce the chances of that happening. If you are not printing often, we recommend printing out a nozzle test pattern from the menu to ensure ink is still cycling through the print head. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
