    Easy to set up but make sure to follow the simple instructions carefully step by step. Quiet functions, especially scanning and printing. Compact and fits nicely on my desk. Eco Tank ink seems really easy fill and refill.

    ET 4850 Great Printer

    The Epson ET 4850 that I purchased at my local Best Buy is an awesome step up from my many ink cartridge printers of the past. Great print quality! However, atleast a medium grade printer paper really is needed to get the full benefit of a 'ink tank' printer. Otherwise you can see some noticeable ink bleed in the printout if you use like a 20 Weight paper. Use 50 Weight standard print paper and you'll be amazed. Photos using glossy print paper will yield great photo reproductions. There truly is a difference here. And the speed of pages printed is a huge improvement!

    Great so far! Purchased in last 2 months. Solid printer with good print production and solid images in B&W and color. Seems much more ink use friendly than other brands I’ved owned.

    This printer is amazing! It works well, sets up easily, and is also easy to use. Many other printers I've purchased elsewhere were so complicated that I never used them at all. This one is a great product!

    looks like the ink costs should be significantly less than my HP printer. Print quality seems good and the smaller footprint is a plus.

    I purchased this printer, brought it home and went through the setup. When the setup was complete I went to test the print quality and it took 45 minutes for it to complete a 4x6 photo. Further troubleshooting I found that the network card dropping packets. I brought it back to Best buy and they swapped it out with a different one, no questions asked. Went throught the setup on the second printer and everything works as expected. Setup is easy and the print quality is pretty impressive. When researching the issue with the first printer, I found that some others have experienced the packet loss as well. Hopefully this helps anyone whom is experiencing the same issue.

    EcoTanks pay for themselves in short order

    I LOVE the EcoTanks. My first one survived about 5 years before a software glitch brought it down. But it paid for itself within the first couple years since I wasn't having to buy ink every 6 months. I only bought ink once after the initial purchase, and it was right near the end of the printer's life. Installation was easy. Wireless connectivity was mostly easy - it was a little bit of a juggle to get the right settings between PC, Chromebooks, and phone. I also really appreciate that it still came with a CD for installation - my PC is old, and I feel more comfortable with hard copy installation software (because I also am old).

    I was replacing a color HP laser printer and was cautious when looking for a new printer. My cartridge costs were horrible and most print jobs were documents. After researching online reviews, i went with this Epson, largely based on ink refills were way more affordable. I am very impressed with the Epson. It is quieter than the HP, the ink levels are way better AND the print quality for documents is awesome, whilst color pics are not too bad. This printer also has a much smaller footprint and weighs significantly less. Setup was easy and connectivity to wiFi is seemless.

    We purchased this printer to replace one that had worn out. This one had great reviews and so we thought that we would try it. We are not happy with it at all. The print is not very good and the scanning experience had been a nightmare. The papers constantly get stuck and knocks the whole printer offline so that it won't even communicate with my computer. This happens constantly. So now I have to constantly babysit it. So disappointing. Would not buy this printer again.

    I am usually frustrated by anything technical that I have to do and inevitably have to call for assistance. I was prepared to experience a long and frustrating installation of this new printer but was actually able to get it up and running with no outside assistance. I felt quite accomplished after the installation and I LIVE how quickly it prints. Also love the refillable ink tanks. So SMART. Love this printer!!

    Works Great. There's a lot of ink in those bottles. Pages are sharp. Works from my phone and iPad. I had to connect with a Ethernet cable to set up but after that it works wirelessly. Print speeds are a little slow if using double sided printing but overall, not bad. The scanner and document feeder produces accurate scans and feed s the pages thru without any problems. I would have liked the screen on the front to be a little larger. as it is quite small. Overall I am pleased with this purchase and expect the savings in the cost of the ink to pay for the printer in the long run.

    I absolutely LOVE this printer! I have had it for several months now and still love it. Very high quality print, comparable to a laser at a fraction of the cost. Wifi works great (has been a major problem with past printers from other brands). I love that I can print on both sides of the paper if I choose. Autofeed feature really comes in handy. Eco tanks last quite a long time, and cheaper to refill then most cartridges. I would recommend this printer to anyone. It's more expensive than some others or there, but very well worth it.

    This printer is essentially perfect excepting the price. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Setup was SO simple compared to other printers I have had. It is so seamless and easy I couldn't believe it. I was used to having to type my wifi info on a tiny screen one click at a time on my old printer. The best setup process I have had. Printing and scanning are both fast and of excellent quality. The large paper tray and upper feeder is awesome to have. As other's have said, the paper catcher feels a tad less durable than I'd like but I'll just be extra careful with it and not use it for a step stool.
