Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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.

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.

The Epson EcoTank ET-3830 is an excellent all-in-one printer. Print quality is very good for both documents and color images, and the ink tank system saves a lot of money compared to cartridges. Setup was easy, wireless printing works perfectly, and the scanner and copier are very convenient. It’s fast, reliable, and perfect for home or small office use. Highly recommended.

Its a great printer, very functional, excellent quality.

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!

I purchased the Epson Eco-Tank ET-3830 after returning another brand’s laser printer. I’m happier with this inkjet Epson. Filling the ink tanks is a breeze. Set-up took a bit longer than anticipated. However, using the app makes it easy. This printer works well with Apple AirPrint. Printing and scanning (up to 1200 dpi) are easy and quality is very good. Printer settings are easy to change. Duplex printing is another feature I can’t do without. Doing away with ink cartridges and their cost was a top priority for me. I like the smaller footprint of this printer, too. The laser printer I returned printed great, however it caused the lights in my home office to flicker every time the printer printed. I discovered through some research and speaking with IT professionals, this can be a common concern with laser printers. Lasers require a lot of energy when warming up to print. They shouldn't be plugged into a UPS or surge protector either. So, lasers are not all they are cracked up to be and not for everyone. This Epson Eco-Tank prints in black/white and color, will save me in ink costs and doesn’t cause my lights to flicker!

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 is my second epson printer i wanted to try one with no cartridges really like the idea bottled ink this printer seems fast loads easy with plenty of paper got it on sale so price was ok really does a good job printing also doesn’t take up lots of room. Buy this one you want be sorry.

Easy setup worth for the price if you searching for a less cost printer buy it

This printer exceeds expectations. Pretty easy to set up. Glad we had a CD-ROM drive installed in our desktop computer because it makes download a lot easier. Was a little concerned about filling the tanks with ink but the key-top bottles are actually very easy to use. We print a lot of docs, text and images, and have been blown away by the speed and quality. Recommend using Epson matte presentation paper for images because it makes them extra clear and brilliant. We've already printed a ton and it's barely made a dent in the ink that came with the printer. Couldn't be happier!

This printer is eady to set up and use. The ink color options are good.

quiet, used for home use and copies and does what we want

This is a great printer. I previously had the ep 2800 then it had messed up so I got this one and I’m glad I did. I love the fact that the paper tray is in the front and it seems much faster than the 2800. I would recommend this printer to all my family and friends

I, like many others, have been fed up with the cost of constantly replacing ink cartridges in my printers, and the constant ads to sign up for a printer subscription service. So, I started doing some research and came across articles about the Epson EcoTank printers. This may have been the best choice I've made in years. The printer itself is fantastic, and the ink levels --after the initial scare from when the print heads filled themselves for the first time-- have barely budged, and we print a LOT. If you want to keep your great print quality, but also save a ton of money on ink, this (and I'm assuming others in the same family) printer is what you want!

This printer is very easy to setup, and prints fantastic. The ink is easy to load. Very happy with this printer. Would recommend this printer to anyone that has a home office or just needs a good all-around great printer.

I'm very satisfied with this printer. I use it mainly for office work. Documents and grafts. It is very efficient. No more ink cartridges that last 3 weeks and cost a fortune to replace.

Easy to use printer/scanner. Ink supply lasts a long time and is easy to refill. Fast prints of good quality both color and black & white. Front tray is better than loading paper from behind the printer. Compact and fairly light printer.

Great small printer for a small home office. It was easy to set up, fill the ink tanks, and begin printing. Quality is acceptable for printing and copying documents. Scanning capability works well but may be lower resolution if using it for photos.
