Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

I like the ease of setup and ample supply of ink that came with the printer. Like that the paper drawer in front holds a lot more paper than the rear feed printers. The printed text seems not as dark black as my old printer,but still adequate. Colors in photos are okay,but was expecting a bit more vibrant.

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.

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.

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 Epson printer is really nice. The Bluetooth connection is very solid and has not been a problem. The print quality is excellent from forms to pictures. The savings on the ink alone is reason enough to purchase this printer.

Great printer for home use. Double-sided printing makes saving paper a breeze during large prints. Scanner is quick. Printing via wifi means I can have more desk space by putting the printer on a shelf. All in all, does what you need without much extra work. Ink is easy to fill up, and set up was smooth.

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

We have had Epson printers for many years. It is compact and the print quality is great. Best of all the Ecotank ink system saves a ton of money. You get many more pages and the old cartridges use the ink faster and is much more expensive.

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

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.

Its a great printer, very functional, excellent quality.

This is my first tank type printer so wasn't sure how it would be, we've had an Epson printer with cartridges for 15 years and was very happy with it so we purchased this one, it was easy to set up and prints well.

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

Review of the Epson EcoTank ET-3830 All-in-One Supertank Inkjet Printer (White) Simply outstanding! Since purchasing the Epson EcoTank ET-3830, my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Not only does it deliver on its promises, but it has also exceeded my expectations in every way. Each of its functions is thoughtfully designed to simplify my daily workflow, helping me become a more efficient and productive individual. Whether printing important documents, scanning files, or making copies, every task is executed quickly, smoothly, and effortlessly. Moreover, I would like to highlight an often-overlooked feature: the accessibility of this printer is truly remarkable. Its user interface is intuitive, allowing anyone—regardless of experience level—to operate it with ease. Another aspect that has thoroughly impressed me is the extraordinary ink longevity. Thanks to its EcoTank system, I can print extensively without constantly worrying about refilling the tanks. This is not only highly convenient but has also enabled me to achieve significant cost savings on consumables. Finally, the ease of use deserves special mention. From initial setup to daily operation, the entire process is so simple that it allows me to focus entirely on what truly matters: my tasks. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the Epson EcoTank ET-3830 All-in-One. It is a tool that not only simplifies your workload but also transforms the way you manage your time, productivity, and expenses. An investment I am absolutely delighted with!

I was surprised how easy the setup was. It somehow connects to your WiFi network through the software when you install it to your computer so there’s no weird technical requirements when trying to set it up for printing. It just auto installs and then it’s just there to select moving forward wirelessly so that is really nice. I think for the price it is good for what you get. Obviously if you spend more money you’ll get a higher quality and higher print speed. I was printing about 18 pages 2 sided(which is nice there’s no paper reloading when doing this) but it takes about 10 mins or so to do that so it’s not super fast, but the quality is pretty good. I was using it to print study guides for an open book test I had to take and I was printing literally up to hour before I had to take the test and it did work flawlessly in that final hour so that is good. Refilling is pretty easy as well. I’d say overall for a budget printer this is a good option bc ink is cheap with refills and setup is very easy. I haven’t tried printing photos or high quality items but I imagine the quality may be better if you get a more expensive item but honesty this probably does the job for like 95% of use cases the quality is actually very good don’t want to downplay it.

This printer prints so nice. It was a breeze to set up by simply downloding the app and following the instructions. It was not much different than my Epson F170. The only issue I have had is that the paper jams when you do a print on both sides project. But a single print is great. And, It is nice being able to buy bottles of ink instead of the cartridges. You will save so much money that way.

This was easy to set up and connect via air print and WIFI. It responds quickly and so far consistently and the print quality is fine for my purposes. The automatic duplex is great. So far, very pleased!
