Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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.

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!

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!

Easy setup; great print quality. Easy to add ink to.

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.

Excellent printing jobs. Easy to use. Good Price.

Great printer. Easy to install. Works well. MInimizes the use of ink cartridges. Have had it for a year and still on the first ink install.

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!

I love my new Epson printer. It was easy to set up. The print quality is great, and I like the liquid ink with the windows, so you always know how much ink you have.

This printer is great. It was smooth to set up, and the interface is simple and straightforward. This is my first Ecotank and I was worried about the ink refilling process, but it was easy and mess free.

Printed and connected to all my devices great and fast.

Works great, easy to use. Didn't have any problem setting it up.

After reading many articles about the benefits of a mega tank printer versus cartridges, I decided this is the time to try it. I had a Canon Pima that had six different colored cartridges, including gray, and I was always buying ink. This printer will save me money in the long run and so far it’s working perfectly. The only thing I find awkward is when you push in the circular button to turn it off, a message appears on the view screen “turn the power off?” Then you have to use the arrow on the front panel to move it from no to yes, than hit the OK button on the panel. I wish it just turned off with 1 step

The EcoTank ET-3830 is a great printer. The print quality is good, the speed of printing is pretty quick, and the lack of cartridges for the ink is huge! When the printer needs refilled with ink, it's simple... but the ink tanks are so large, you can print a LOT before you'll need to.

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.

I really enjoy my Epson printer, print quality is great, it’s nice and speedy. I really enjoy the fill it yourself in containers. When are the major reasons I purchased this printer was for the ease of use with the ink. I was disappointed in HP moving to that subscription service for ink and making the ink cartridges proprietary. It’s just a giant scam on HP’s part and I think they’re going to continue to lose market she had due to this

The Epson 3830 is very easy to use and fast. Recharging the ink is very easy, just open and dump in. Ink stops flowing when container is fill. Also very compact compared to my HP. Works great.
