Customer Ratings & Reviews

My last two printers were HPs - one a LaserJet and the other an InkJet. Both were total bears to connect to my home wifi network and would both go offline whenever I needed them. Meanwhile, HP seemed only interested in trying to get me to sign up ink and paper supply programs that I didn’t want or need. This Epson cost less than either of the HPs, was super-easy to connect to my network and is always ready to print for any device on my network - even if I haven’t printed anything for a few weeks. While I generally prefer LaserJets, the Eco Tank ink system on this Epson is economical, the tanks last quite some time and don’t dry out if you haven’t printed in a while. This Epson is perfect for home consumer or home office use. Highly recommended.

This is my first non-cartridge printer and it is an absolute lifesaver. My previous printer was an Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3720 that's about five years old – basically the earlier version of the WF-3820 that's going for $100 – and has most of the same features as this plus a one sided, 35-page automatic document feeder (ADF) for scanning multi-page documents. (The equivalent eco-tank version is the ET-3850). It served as a pretty good printer over its life, but the cartridges were just ridiculously expensive and occasionally didn't work when I put them in the printer. As the old saying goes, the printer companies don't get your money with the printer itself… They get you with the ink cartridges. Along comes the EcoTank which, as Shaq says, gets rid of your cartridge conniptions. Just to compare the cost of ink, an XL black cartridge for my workforce printer cost $40 and could print around 1100 pages (according to the cartridge description), and that's if it worked in the printer. With this beauty, a 127 mL standard bottle of ink costs $20 and can print around 3000 pages (according to the Best Buy Q&A). Meanwhile, the color cartridges are $39 for a pack and do about 300 pages, but the ink refill for this is $42 and does 10,000-14,000 pages (according to Best Buy Q&A)! The convenience, reliability, and cost of ink makes this printer worthwhile vs. purchasing a cartridge version over the course of its life if you do any significant amount of printing… And if you don't do that much printing but put a price on convenience (and maybe sustainability), this could well be worth your money. As for purchasing this vs. other EcoTank models, it really depends on how much you value having a paper tray vs. a paper feeder at the top-back, if you want the ADF or not, and how much room you're willing for your printer to take up. This also has button controls compared to the touch-screen on the ET-4850, if you want to make that jump, but the buttons work just fine (the 4850 also has fax capability, which most people don't need these days). I thought this did well to meet my needs – though I'm kind of on the fence as to whether buying the 3850 and having the ADF would've been worth the extra $20 and dealing with the extra bulkiness – and would definitely buy it again and recommend this, or really any of the EcoTank models, to other people looking for a new printer.

Great printer. East set up. I like the paper cassette loader. All around nice printer.

I have only used this for a month but set up was easy, I can print from my phone, I can print from my laptop. It does what I need when I need.

I found this printer easy to set up, print quality is excellent and the scanning software easy to use.

We like the Epson Eco Tank ET 3830 very much. It was easy to set up and has been working perfectly.

Epsom-Eco Tank-3830,works great and able to add 3 computers for printing,and great printing quality.

The Epson ET-3830 is so easy to set up... Comes with enough in to fill all tanks, ready to use from day one... At you can print using your home network highly recommend it

Superb printer at a great price. Seamless connection with iMac and iPhone. Setup instructions were easy to follow and printer works perfectly.

This printer was very easy to set up, including connecting to Wi-Fi. I like the idea of the ink bottle refills instead of the expensive cartridges. If I could suggest one design change: we don't need a huge light on the front to show it's on. It shines out into the hall and lights up everything at night. I have to turn off the printer instead of leaving it on, ready to use.

The price was perfect. The printer is flawless and prints from cell or laptop. Great quality also.

Have been very satisfied with printing results. Was simple to set up and place liquid inks in the tank.

Great printer, easy to set up and can’t print from anywhere literally! Ink lasts a long time, print looks fantastic every time.

This printer was really easy to set up. Print quality is great. And it is a compact unit that I really needed.

I am very satisfied with this Epson 3830 printer. It has a nice, relatively small form factor. I moved from an old Canon photo printer that used 6 colors. I was a little concerned that this Epson would not be as good with just 4 colors. But I have been quite pleased with the results of photos. I know that the Epson 2850, an older model still available was supposed to the better at photos (with 6 inks) but this one is faster and had better paper handling. I didn't need a page feeder, so this fits the need very well. The scanning works great too. Not being concerned with finicky color ink cartridges takes your use of the printer to new level. This printer is supposed to be for a small office, so I hope it continues without issues.

Not a bad all-in-one honestly. I don't like how while I can connect this to my PC it's not set up to press scan from the printer, I have to go back and forth from my PC to the printer if I'm scanning more than one document. Not a big deal just a little inconvenient (first-world problems really). I do like the ink seems to last longer. My last ink print (bought in 2013) would somehow blow through ink even though we didn't print much. Seems like we get more ink with this than with the cartridge-type ink setups. I really like that the scanner is quiet. I kinda wish it was a touch screen to make inputting information a little easier but again not a big deal, it's still plenty easy to use and navigate. Overall, a worth while investment.

This printer is awesome! It is worth the investment. Make sure that you pay attention to the screen and use the arrows to indicate the appropriate number when doing the printer alignment. I had to redo it, so it was user error and not the machine. I have printed a ton of pages for school and it has barely put a dent in the ink tanks.

The printer works great. I'm happy with the quality and speed. The front tray is the only media loading option. Printers I've had in the past have also had a rear tray so that you can load envelopes or photo paper without having to remove plain paper from the main tray, but that isn't an option with this printer. My biggest gripe is that the scanner is very slow. Additionally, the scanning software is not very intuitive, and needs some adjusting from default settings in order to get good scan quality.

A replacement for a 10+ old Cannon inkjet....so far the Epson is working great. It is hardwired to my network via Ethernet so there is no wireless dropouts that other people have complained about...set up was a breeze. I do wish it had a touchscreen...but oh well not a deal breaker. It is noisy compared to my old printer...my wife can hear it print from the other end of the house...

This prints well. The color quality is good. It is easy to set up and use. I have no complaints.
