Customer Ratings & Reviews

Slowest printer I’ve ever owned. Printers 20 years ago are faster than this one. It’s terrible.

IRETURNED THIS AS THEY WERE ABLE TO REPAIR MY ECO TANK 4550

Print quality is horrible. The ink runs out pretty fast even with basic use. Avoid.

The biggest problem with printers are the ink refills and how they can cost so much, with the Epson Ecotank ET-2850 they managed to solve that problem. This Printer is an all in one inkjet, it can scan, copy, do photo prints, 2-sided prints and it comes with a 2 year supply of ink (you read that right, 2 years). This printer even comes with the software installed on a CD, something you never see anymore, and much appreciated. Setting up the printer is very easy, you have 3 options, you can use your computer, you can use your phone or tablet with the Epson Smart Panel app, or you can use the printer itself viewing the small LCD display. Once everything is set up, you can either use the epson app to print documents, or photos, or you wirelessly print from any device that has internet connection. I first wanted to see how well the printer works with photos, so I loaded some glossy photo paper and used the app to print some test photos. The app automatically applies an auto enhance, no matter how well the photo looks – whenever you print. This resulted in my photos being way to bright and oversaturate. So, I went in and turned off the options. The results weren’t all that better to be honest. I found that this machine prints photos where the colors are either way too bright, or way too dull. Needless to say, I wasn’t impressed with the quality of photos. I tried printing regular document and and graphics on plain paper and the printer was able to do a fantastic job. I like the ability that this lets you load 100 pages at once, and it also does 2-sided printing as well. The documents came out very clear and in no time at all. The printer is also very compact, so it doesn’t take up that much space on your desk. The best part about the printer is the ink, and how much ink can be stored in the tank at once (2 years worth). The refills of the ink are inexpensive as well. Overall, I think the Epson Ecotank is a great printer that saves a ton on ink. It eliminates the need for cartridges and just uses ink bottles to refill the tanks. The printer is fast too, it can print in no time and the print quality is fantastic. My only complaint is the photo quality prints, those can come of very dull and over saturated. Other than that, this is a great printer and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new printer.

I would give zero but not an option. Printer cost to much to not connect to my laptop. I’ve been trying for a month to connect to this wireless so called printer. Taking it back.

This is probbaly the worst printer ever, would not recommend it to anyone. The WiFi keeps getting disconnected it has been an expensive printer and useless. Do not buy

poor quality. printing paper gets jammed every time, does not connect to wifi router in same room disappointed

Really bad faded print quality. Would not reccomend

Purchased this printer for home use. Set up is very easy. The small printer footprint makes it unobtrusive in the home office. Print quality is good. The one negative so far is the paper feed mechanism holds too little paper and is balky resulting in paper jams that are bothersome to clear.

Does not print good quality pictures. Do not recommend for pictures or stickers.

It lasted two weeks and the techs at Epson said it was unrepairable.

Product works but not for the price. Recommended if really needed

The color printing is horrible. Do not buy this printer!

Printer constanly had to be realigned and the printhead had to be cleaned after a few copies were printed.

Never worked.. right out of the box.. printed nothing but streaks. Horrible interface for interaction.

I think the printing quality is horrible! Printing was dual and especially the red.

Printing quality sucks. I will be returning it back to the store.

Geek Squad did make work. Return it to store. Will be looking for new printer.

Returned. Did not have features I wanted. Bought a H P.

I love this printer. It is compact, but loaded with ability. There was a quick start guide and I followed the instructions and downloaded the app. The app gave very clear instructions on how to fill the cartridges which was a totally new concept for me. That was easy. I like that you can physically see the ink levels on the front. My old all in one was larger but didn’t do anymore, and as far as I can tell, nothing better than this Epson ET2850. My chief complaint for the Epson, and it is important, is that the screen on the printer is very small and the print is TINY and very dim. This made it very difficult to input my WiFi password during setup. Other than that, setup was very simple. Once I got my password in, it found and connected very quickly. I downloaded the app to my iPad, iphone and my husbands android. They all connected very easily. I did not find the same app available on the Microsoft store for my laptop. There was an older Epson app that works just fine. I will look again to make sure that I didn’t miss it. Another feature that I liked was a creativity app that lets me do some nifty designs. So far, I’ve printed a few documents and one photo just as tests. Everything looked great. I can’t speak to the print speed, but compared to my prior printers, it does very well. This Epson seems to “play” better with more devices with less proprietary obstacles than the old other brand printer. I didn’t have to set up an account to do things that wanted to do as my other printer did. So far no passwords required, except for my own WiFi. That being said, I’ve only begun to play with it. The picture I printed was only on plain paper, but it rendered perfect color with no adjustments. If it offers the ink life it promises, then it will be a huge improvement over my inkjets. Sadly if the ink really does last a year, then I could never do a timely a review. I can say, because I can see the ink levels, that the pages and full page color photo that I have printed have NOT lowered the ink at all! In the past, because I’m cheap, I worried every time I printed something. Not anymore! I love my new printer.
