Ink smears, bleeds and pools up on glossy paper
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this because I've seen so many people rave about ecotank printers for waterslides and printable vinyl. I was so excited to finally be able to get one! But it was a complete nightmare! I don't know if I got defective ink or what, but I could not get a good quality print if my life depended on it. At first the ink kept smearing really bad. After changing paper settings and printings 20 pages of disaster images, it seemed to start printing better. But even then, it could look flawless when it was finished printing, but as it sat to dry for a couple minutes, the ink would slowly bleed and/or pool up causing grainy, muddy photos. I even tried getting different brands of paper and vinyl thinking maybe it was the brand, but same results. I tried every setting the printer had, but still couldn't get a good quality print. Googled endlessly, watched a million YouTube videos. I finally gave up and returned it to save my own sanity.

You get what you pay for.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good basic, economical printer/scanner. Print quality (color saturation) was a bit disappointing. Build quality seems a little cut rate. Small interface screen is not a touch screen, so the interface is cumbersome and out dated. Setup was easy with the smart phone interface. Comes with enough ink to totally fill the tanks, which is supposed to last a long time. Scanning resolution is limited to 600 DPI. No Fax with this model.

Very Good for basic tasks!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Form factor is designed well. Setup was fairly easy, but took time as I had to run through the setup twice due to an unknown glitch. Physical printer Controls & menu is simple. Printing selection for different sizes and types of paper can get confusing- not as simple as it can be. Printing Quality is good. Refilling ink is much cheaper and easy to do. Overall: it was a good buy; Able to do a lot, but I feel like it should be easier to utilize all its capabilities. Would buy again.

Very impressive printer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were a bit skeptical about the tank printers, but traditional primers are eating ink like crazy. Once you get used to the odd menu navigation and lack of touch screen, the printer went through a lot of alignment calibrations, eating up my paper. Once we started using the printer, I noticed the ink levels weee not dropping like I’d expect. After a few weeks of my work paperwork, the ink levels are still high. Normally I’d be replacing an ink cartridge by now. With the low cost of the tank refills, the great quality print and ink tank longevity, we couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

Great printer/scanner
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use and setup. Epson has been a good product. I like the ability to refill the chambers instead of ordering cartridges. I have had a small scanner that’s been great.

Highest ratings for Geek Squad and employees!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to begin with the service we had from several employees...their names, of which sadly I have forgotten, were all so helpful to us! Our printer is working great and thank goodness for the geek squad that installed it, filled it with the ink, and connected it to our phones and computer, and showed us all about it! They were all amazing.

Great investment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent printer. Connects to my home network with no issues. The Ecotank is a game-changer. I printed about 70 pages with color and did not need to worry about replacing any cartridges mid-print. My wf-3720 was a decent printer but was hindered by the number of cartridges needed. It had connection issues among a few mechanical issues that required frequent attention. as my wf-3720 only lasted 2 years, I decided to purchase the geeksquad protection plan good for 4 years. Cons- not as fast as a toner printer but fast enough for a home office.

Pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did have a bit of trouble with setup, things got wonky when it was time to test the ink and wifi...but got it all sorted. Works well...only used it for a month, lightly -- so not sure how long ink lasts...but I know a bit extra was used during setup. All drops of ink from the bottles were added (very easy). I plan to try using art paper --fingers crossed! It is the reason I paid more...

Above Average Printer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had an older model, but thankfully for investing for Totaltech and upgraded to this model. The option to scan easily with the top feeder is a plus, and to print double-sided too. The ink is a much cheaper option and does not dry out line the cartridges. The set up is a little tricky, but if you're slightly savy you won't have any issues.
