Customer Ratings & Reviews

We love it. The ink system is so great no more costly cartridges! Printing is very good, photos so nice and crisp. Wireless printing is fantastic.

I have been an Epson user for many years and I trust this brand when it comes to printers. I still own one of the first printers that were able to print on CD surfaces and it came from Epson. This ET-2800 takes it to a new level, EcoTank technology which claims to cost you less and last longer. I have owned this printer for a few days so I can't say much about the longevity of the ink, but I have read some other reviews about them and they claim it is true to last. Now as far as the cost goes, I think the inkjet ink and these Eco ink are pretty much about the same price. The only thing about his Eco ink is that you don't have to replace them as often and it will save you some money in the end. Manufacturer claims the ink will last approximately 2 years, that's a long time. The printer itself is very simple, modern looking and extremely light. Setting it up was very easy as well, download the Epson Smart Panel app on your mobile phone and follow a few steps and you will be good to go after like in 20 min. In the box you get the printer, 4 bottles of ink, power cord, manual and something rare, an installation CD. I actually tried using that CD and to be honest I ended up downloading the file from the Epson website LOL. From the app you can do everything this printer can offer. I honestly can say you won't need a computer or laptop to use this, and the app is easy to use. Before you get this printer up and running you need to fill up the ink tank with the ink provided. That will take a few minutes as you have to do it one by one. Loading the ink is pretty simple as they only go in a certain way and they won’t spill. Then the printer will take about 11 minutes to process the ink, then you have to print the ink pattern and calibration. Like I said before, the whole process will take about 20 minutes. That’s a take from the regular inkjet which just pops out and in, but inkjet won’t last 2 years. On the front you have a small LCD screen, power, home, and other functions buttons. I wished the LCD screen was a little bigger. Sometimes those small letters are hard to read, especially for someone with sight issues. The good part is that you can control it from your phone so basically you don’t have to look at that small screen. This printer can print 10 pages per minute black and 5 in color. I printed a 4x6 color photo and it did it pretty quick. Now, what really impressed me was how detailed and accurate the printing was. Not only the printing but the scanning as well. I scanned the same picture I printed and I compared it with the original. It was very close. I uploaded a photo in this review. Now the photo will not look as good as if you see it in person and it was printed in regular paper, not even on a photo paper. On the top you have a flat scanner that will fit 8.5 x 11 paper max , so if you wish to scan a bigger or legal paper you’re out of luck. That’s just limited to the scanner, you can still print legal documents. The connectivity on this device is Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct only. It seems that it has built-in Bluetooth but it never gave me the option to connect it this way. It does not have a USB or Ethernet port either. So, your connectivity options are kind of limited. You can only print on one side compared to the more expensive options. That being said you can flip the same page and print on the other side. The paper feeder is on the back of the device. One thing that I didn’t like was the paper holder. When it is extended it feels very flimsy and it only holds the paper in the center, meaning the paper will kind of fold a little on the sides while it is sitting there instead of staying flat. That’s not a deal breaker but when the paper sits like that for a long time it will stay like that slightly curved. Over all this a very nice and sleek printer it is made for the future with no cables and voice connectivity. Yes, you can use this printer with Google assistant, Alexa or Siri. It works as intended and is very responsive, with great printing and scanning quality, and the fact that you can have ink for two years even better.

Printer failed catastrophically the same day Best Buy would no longer accept a return. Printed/copied at most a few dozen pages over just a few weeks of extremely light use. Won't feed. Won't print. Locks up due due to non-existent paper jams and error messages that won't clear. Just freezes and says to contact Epson support (no help, of course).

First & second day the paper jam. I took it back the next day.

This printer is one of the wrost. Take 45 minutes to print one page and does not even print the whole page. It gave me error code and can't be fixed. I would not recommend getting a epson eco tank wrost printer out there

Absolute garbage. Unless you like to clean the printer head every single time you want to anything. Need a recipe, oh don’t forget to clean the printer head first. Need to print a return label, if you want more than 2% of the image, ya better clean that printer head, again.

Bought printer 3 times in 3 years not worth it!! Print head terrible ink dries inside have to do nozzle check five to six times daily

Overall this printer is a good choice. The only problem I have with it so far is that it keeps disconnecting from my WiFi. It been doing it more often now. So consider that when purchasing.

The product is not appropriate for what I wanted to do I would have liked it to be of another dimension.

I was very surprised that the printer only print maybe 5 color prints. I read the instruction to keep the printer, so that the ink would flow. But it never did start printing color.

Thumbs down for EPSON can't manufacture a functioning printer! I did not open this for a while. Ive used it for about 1 month and its alreafy broken. ERROR CODE: EO1, 00000021. Junk!

I sort of gave up on inkjet printers several years ago. The ink, more than anything, had me fed up. It felt like all I could get was couple of decent sized color prints before I was having to change another tiny, overpriced cartridge. I eventually just picked up a color laser for standard printing and proofing, and if I wanted to print something high quality like a photo, I'd just send it to a printing service. So I was skeptical, but interested to try out a tank-based printer, and as far as printing goes, Epson knocked it out of the park. The tanks, at first glance, seem like they might not hold all that much, but even after a dozen or so full color, full page prints (and a variety of smaller ones) I've barely made a dent. The filling process is simple, but I did have a minor issue with a spill on removing a bottle from its fill socket, which is probably due to user error. The white plastic where the ink touched is now stained a faint blue where I cleaned it up, but it hasn't affected the prints at all. And man, the prints are fantastic. Maybe I've just become used to the sort of dull colors that my laser provides, or maybe there's really something to Epson's heat-free micro-piezo printing technology, but I don't ever remember inkjet prints looking this good. It prints perfectly. No streaking, no dull spots. I'm stunned. Setup was quick and easy using the Epson Smart Panel app. Printing wirelessly works without any issues with both my phone and windows 10 devices, without any additional installs required. A few days after setting it up, the printer itself prompted me to update the firmware, which I was able to do through the front panel display without any instructions, as the user interface, although rather tiny, is simple and easy to use. I did have to download scanner drivers from Epson's website to scan to my computer via USB. It worked out of the box with Windows' basic drivers, but the quality was astonishingly poor. Epson's drivers did clear that right up, however. The scanner pulls in 1200 dpi with Epson's drivers installed, and so far my scans have been very serviceable, with none of the weird crosshatching I've seen so often on all-in-one devices. There isn't a document feeder, so this is strictly single-page, and it's great for scanning in photos. All in all, I'm very happy with the performance of the printer, the size of the ink tanks and the price of replacement ink. Epson's got a winner on it's hands for anyone wanting a high quality printer for home use, and I definitely recommend it.

Printer has no way of getting a paper jam out other than ripping the side panel out. Paper tray has paper yet printer says there’s no papero

This All in One is simply awesome!! After removing it from its box you simply plug in the printer and download the Epson App on your smartphone. Once you have the app open on your phone it will walk you through every step nice and easy to get the printer setup. It was super easy to do and Im sure a lot of people will appreciate the simplified setup that comes with this printer. During the setup process you will be guided through the process to fill the different ink reservoirs, its very easy. You flip open the corresponding cover and unscrew the cap for the ink and match it up with the label on the bottle to the corresponding slot, flip it upside down and it fills and stops automatically. Repeat the process for all of the bottles and your done!! Now on to the actual experience of using this printer... Experience I have been printing everything and anything over the last few weeks and I am loving this thing. Ive printed out Photos and Text Only documents as well as mixed documents, and it has been a breeze to do so. I can print from any computer or phone that is on the same wifi network as the printer, which is something I have never had before, but wow does it make everything that much more enjoyable to use. Quality So far every picture I have printed out just using regular printing paper has come out very good. No complaints there. Im sure if I used photo paper the images would be that much better! The printing speed is also very fast with either photos or documents. All of the Text documents I have printed have been good also. It is worth noting that you can increase the quality in your printer settings on your device and also see the current ink levels in the machine. Features The Main Feature is the new Ink Bottle Refill system. This is supposed to save all of us some major money in the long run. On the Epson website it states ''Each replacement ink bottle set equivalent to about 90 individual ink cartridges'' Thats huge for me and why I wanted to get this printer. They also state ''Save up to 90% with replacement ink bottles vs. ink cartridges'' So right away if these statements are true, you can see the value here already. You can also use this machine to make copies and also scan images or documents to your computer. In order to do this, you will need to connect the printer to your computer using a USB A to USB B cable that is NOT INCLUDED. This to me is a major FAIL! I do not understand how a manufacturer can put features in a product and not supply you will the right cable to use those features. I think there will be a lot of people who get this printer, that will not be happy about this. I know that I wasn't when I first unboxed this printer. Just be aware that you need to buy the USB cable to use the scan feature. Other than the previous mention, I am very happy with this Printer. The ease of use just triumphs anything negative about this printer as a lot of people will be able to plug it in and get it setup quick. The form factor is also very nice and again the main feature is NO MORE INK CARTRIDGES!!! =) If you need a Network Printer, You should definitely give this one a look! *Had to lower to 4 stars due to the missing cable that is needed to use the scanner. There will be people that buy this printer that will have trouble with getting the right cable and it should have been included.

Loved it at first then a system failure keeps showing on my screen.

Great printer, if you need a basic all in one printer for home or a soho, this printer will save you lots of money. Instead of replacing printer cartridges (that's where the expensive part is at), you only add liquid ink to it (you could say the cartridges are permanent in the printer, at least that's my thinking). You just buy new bottles of ink and replenish the printers tanks. Much cheaper. Setup was easy, however it took a few minutes, be prepare to spare around 15 minutes. Because once you add the ink from the bottles and turn the printer on, it does some sort of "ink prepare" and the process takes like 10 minutes. Once done, you can configure it using Epsons app on your phone. For the PC, they include a CDrom, this is a big con, who has a CD ROM on their PC anymore? It could have been cheaper to include an USB drive with the software and drivers. Anyway, I had to download the software from Epson's website and from there I configured the printer to use my wifi network, which is more convenient. This is a basic printer, and very good at it. Print quality is exceptional, just don't expect advance creature comfort features, like from more expensive ones (like the ability to scan documents automatically from a feeder, here you have to place each page to scan on the scanner bed) etc. I highly recommend it if you want to save money in future replacement ink, no more expensive cartridges or expensive subscriptions!!!!

The Epson ecotank ET-2800 printer is recommended and made for home use. This all-in-one printer is the lowest model in the Epson ecotank printer line up and you can definitely tell as it very cheaply made and had minimal features compared to the industry and it higher model Epson brothers and sisters. Please read below for my full review: Setup: I thought setup would be quick and easy as most printers are but this printer takes forever although it is still easy. I opted for the intial setup using my mobile device. Once you turn on the printer a QR code pops up on the screen and you can easily use your cell phones camera (Apple or Android) to start the process. The QR code brings you to download their app. I thought the setup was weird as Epson brought you through like a chat or text process. I'm sorry but I don't want to chat with my printer. Set up took almost 15+ minutes in total. Yes you read that right. After filling up the ink with the bottles it took 11 minutes for the printer to set itself up. Don't worry it counts it down for you. I know you only usually setup a printer once but it took forever and I don't want to do it again. Ink: The printer comes with 4 full bottles of 522 Epson ink (65ML each). Tons of ink, more than I have ever handled in an inkjet printer in my life. I plan for this ink to last a long time. Advertisement says up to 2 years but I am sure I will kill the ink before then. The bottles are designed to not make a mess and allow you to easily flip them into the printer tank slots/transfer ports. The printer will also stop think from flowing once each printer tank is full. Even after dumping the ink in I sill had a little bit in each bottle to top off the printer later (that was a surprise). I do have to say that it was not perfect as the printer did leak a little of the magenta ink on the magenta lid on the printer. I am not even sure how it did this but it did. Printer: This printer has minimal amount of features. It can print, copy, and scan but I feel as though that's all it can do. It is also equipped with wifi and mobile printing. BIGGEST FLAW: it only has single sided printing. This is horrible as most printers have this. The next models up are equipped with auto 2 sided printing so you will have to spend more to get this. The screen is super small. Actually the smallest colored screen I have ever seen at 1.44 inches. The screen is a waste and if I can barely read it at my young age then many others wont be able to read off it. The paper can only be loaded from the rear and looks like my printers from the 2000's. To a front loading paper tray you have to go a full models up and at this price range I think that is bazar. Almost all printers in this range have a front loading paper tray. I expect a rear paper tray (which is stinking out of my printer now and wasting space) on a $19.99 printer. Quality: This is where I feel like where they get you. Okay you are going to save all this money on ink, right? Well then they are going to give you the cheapest quality printer known to man. While not broken, there was plastic flap already off the printer which I discovered as soon as I opened the box. Everything on this printer is cheap and flimsy. I mean everything. I expect the ink to last longer than the printer.

I’ve been using the EcoTank ET-2800 daily for the past 10 months in a busy family household with two school-age kids, and it has been fantastic. The ink tanks that come with the printer were full from day one. Since then we’ve printed thousands of pages: black-and-white homework, math worksheets, permission slips, full-color school projects, maps, posters, and well over 200 photos (4x6 and 8x10) on glossy paper. After all of that heavy use, the black tank is only down about 20–25 % and the color tanks are still over half full. I’ve never had a printer last this long on the original ink supply. Print quality is sharp for text and surprisingly good for color. Photos on glossy paper look vibrant and clear enough that we’ve framed several of them. Scanning and copying work great from phones, tablets, and laptops over Wi-Fi, and setup was straightforward. It’s not the fastest printer, and there’s no automatic two-sided printing, but for everyday home and school use those things don’t bother us at all. The peace of mind knowing we won’t run out of ink mid-project has been wonderful. If you print regularly at home, this has been a complete game-changer for us. Highly recommend.

Works good, long lasting ink, easy to set up. Prints sorta slow for more detailed photos and quality of phot printing isn’t great. Isn’t double sided printing which is a down size for the price but overall great

Easy to set up. Good quality printing. Just hard to get the paper in & lined up correctly. I like that it’s compact.
