QuestionWill this printer be able to print on Clear Paper and print in more solid colors than the Epson ET 4850?
Asked 2 years ago by DarrellS.
- Answer I don't know about the 4845, but this printer prints very clear. I print on film (clear) paper every day and haven't had an issue yet. Can only print on the matted side though, will not be able to print on the smooth side without the ink running/bleeding

Questionwill the ink dry out if not used regu
Asked 2 years ago by Boogie.
- Answer No, if you don’t use it for a while and then do you might get some lines on your prong. You just do maintenance and it cleans the heads and it works perfectly. It is the same for the 3850. I own both. I love both the ET 3850 and 8550.

QuestionIs it possible to print in adhesive vinyl with an Epson ET 8550?? If it is what paper settings do I need to use?
Asked 2 years ago by Tahimi.
- Answer One, if you do this, make sure the vinyl you are printing on can be printed with an inkjet printer not a laser jet printer. If the material is the smooth vinyl material, then I would say no. More than likely the ink will just run. I use mine for printing film and it works well on the matted side, but if I print on the other side (smooth non matted) the ink will run/bleed. I can only assume it will do this for vinyl. HOWEVER, this is perfect for heat transfer paper.

QuestionWill this printer print a scanned image with the color teal appearing as teal and not blue? I'm having trouble getting my printer to recognize the color teal. It prints it as blue. I took the design to a print shop and he had the same issue.
Asked 3 years ago by Debo.

QuestionDo you need the gray ink to be able to print? Or can it be used with the 4 basic colors only.
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi, The EcoTank Photo ET-8550 uses all colors to print spectacular photos on photo or photo matte paper. If one or more ink tanks is expended, we recommend refilling it as soon as possible. That way, you can avoid having ink dry around the nozzles and potentially causing clogs. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
