The Epson ET-3930 wireless printer is absolutely amazing. I have been heard so much about these Eco Tank printers and am so glad to finally have one. There are so many great things to say about this printer. The best part is obviously its main selling point, the Supertank ink system. This printer has an absurdly high printing capacity. You can print THOUSANDS of pages before needing a refill. THOUSANDS! My other printers can print a couple hundred and then it’s time for a replacement cartridge. I have not printed close to a thousand pages yet, so I can’t comment on their claims anymore than that. I’ll be using this printer mostly for work, as I am an elementary art teacher and I print tons of resources and visual aids for the students to use. I love that the paper tray is HIDDEN! I have not seen that feature before and I think all printers should have hidden paper trays by now. Mind you, I’m referring to the tray where you collect your printed jobs. The paper tray for blank, unprinted paper is tucked in and that’s not a new feature for anybody. The size of the printer works well for me. It doesn’t take up a ton of space, which is important for me in my apartment home office. Set up was very easy and I love having the app on my phone. I can print from my phone and when I’m away from home I can send print jobs to the printer. I set up the printer using the app, where normally I would use a cord. It doesn’t come with the usb cord, but I have one already if I chose to go that route. I wanted to see if it was problem free with the app and it was. Obviously you need WiFi for this to work. Once your calibration page prints, it’s scanned to make sure it printed correctly. I would have liked an auto-feed document tray for the scanner, but since I have that feature on a different brand of printer, I’m not mad about it. I have a Samsung laptop running Windows 11 and have zero problems. I prefer the physical buttons that the printer comes with as opposed to a touch screen. The screen is on the small side, but it’s large enough for me to clearly view. Standard features like duplex/double-sided printing work very well. And it prints quickly. Black and white obviously shoots out the fastest. I haven’t done a timed test to see how long it actually takes from start to finish, or log long for the first page to print, but you’re not waiting forever for print jobs. The quality of the ink is very good. I actually had some Epson brand photo paper from a crafting project and printed some images, not photographs, and they came out looking so good! The colors are crisp and vivid. My only upgrade from here would be to get a wide format printer. I’d love to print 9x12 or 12x18 size paper since I use that a lot for school.
I would recommend this to a friend

I needed an additional reliable printer for a second location. I also own an earlier Model the Eco tank ET/3 760. My earlier model has been excellent and the only maintenance despite fairly heavy use has been to load additional liquid ink once and run a head cleaning routine.
Unless you have very specific quality or functional needs, you are wasting money if you do not own a non-cartridge based super tank printer like this model.
They set up is fairly easy and is guided by a new app which makes each step seem like an Interactive chat. The app is highly functional and highly rated and is named the Epson smart panel. The clear instructions will allow you to install the printer on your network without the use of a PC and only a smart phone. The only glitch during my installation was some hesitation connecting to my dual band Omada mesh access point. This particular unit also has an ethernet poet. I will not take off a star as I have had several other products, not connect immediately to this network.
They Printer comes from the store with ink bottles, which more than fill the tank and will likely last for years. The tanks are easily accessible, and there are built-in valves in the supplied ink which are readily available in many stores at a reasonable cost. The car savings of this form of ink delivery is dramatic And real. This unit uses the 502 die ink and in my experience and opinion, there’s no reason to buy a generic version.
The print quality is very good slightly better than my two year old tank on plane paper. Two sided printing is fairly Fast with mechanically tray. Utilizing two sided printing, does slow the printer from the 16 page per minute black-and-white rating. The scanner is flatbed and does not have an automatic document feeder. This allows you to easily stack things on top of the printer if needed. The printer screen is small and controlled with adjacent buttons and is not touchscreen, but works very well. The printer and scanner work fine in Windows 11 without additional software installation, but the software is quite good and a significant improvement over other brands in my experience.

I've owned a lot of printers over the years, but I've never had one with anywhere near as easy a setup process as this Epson EcoTank ET-3930. The unboxing in straightforward and the heavy plastic bag that the printer comes in makes it easy to remove it from the box (it's a tight fit). Then, after installing the app (I used the iPhone version of Epson Smart Panel), and plugging in the printer, the setup is completely guided. The app quickly finds the printer and lets you set up wifi access. A very nice feature of the setup wizard is that the timings for each step are given so you know whether there's time for a quick cup of coffee. The entire unboxing and setup took less than 30 minutes. It's especially clever that the printer setup uses a scan of a printed test page to adjust nozzle flow, etc. That's a nice step that I haven't seen from other printer manufacturers (though all my recent experience was with Canon printers). Paper installation is simple and the paper holder size is adequate. I didn't have any photo paper to test the photo printing, but color printing on plain paper is adequate. This small tank printer with full duplex printing, scanning and copying is a great value. The fact that you can see how much ink is remaining in the tanks is great. No more emergency trips to the local store for cartridges.
