Customer Ratings & Reviews

There are a lot of good things about this printer but a few bad things so far too. I had some difficulty understanding what I should be opening to access the ink tanks. I felt like a dummy when I finally understood I needed to open the entire scanner mechanism rather than the scanner lid. Not the fault of the printer but that of the operator! I have had to run the inkjet cleaning several times as I was having clogging of one or two of the blue jets and I would get large ¼ inch lines across pictures> Well, maybe it is OK now. I just ran a couple of runs of 50 with lots of colored images over the last two days and they were perfect. I do like the size of this printer compared to other Epsons I have had. I really like the new way to fill the ink tanks. A 100% improvement from earlier Epson inktank printers! If the ET-4850 continues to work like it has the past couple of days I could add a 5th star.

The Epson Ecotank ET-4850 is one of the best printers I have owned. It holds so much ink that i never have to worry about running out of ink or replacing ink cartridges. I always print in color to make sure the print head never gets dry or clogged and has been performing flawlessly for years now. (I am now referencing my Ecotank et-4750 which is in my second office). Both these models were super easy to set up and have been very user friendly. I will continue to purchase future models of the Ecotank series!

Love this printer and well the quality is. It is very easy to set up as well.

Best Buy customer service, excellent! Easy ordering, instant notifications on order and delivery. Delivery faster than expected. So far, the Epson Printer (ET-4850) exceeding expectations , as well. Printer set up easy and quick. Print quality is better than a Canon ink tank printer I replaced it with. Speed is good. Noise is a bit more than the Canon but considering all other functioning, it's acceptable. Much more easy to use and set operational parameters for each printing job. Time will help me fully evaluate since I've only had it for a short time.

Wow- already have printed over 125 pages and barely put a dent in ink. Love the compact overall size and ease of setup. Previous 3 printer purchase were HP but this Epson has been much better in cost per page. Highly recommend!

Excellent printer!! I'm so glad I chose the Epson!! I've had two Epsons before this one and the've all worked wonderfully. Changing ink is a snap with this one and the print is beautiful. The only thing I'd say negative is that I'm sorry I'm only needing one printer so I'm limited to wearing one out at at time which takes a long time!

This is my fourth Epson printer for the officers and I really like the way they work. The color is spot on, easy to set up, wireless, light, and the Supertank is a great solution to the headache HP expensive cartridges. And the ink lasts a long time. The printer has its quirks like any printer but its easy to google the fix and its simple.

Connecting this Epson to my computer and printing, scanning, copying, etc. has for months operated flawlessly. I am especially impressed with the small color screen that is easily operated. I find it to be user friendly. Ink usage seams resonable.

I needed a home office printer that provides color printing, scanning and faxing. I also wanted one that would reduce the cost of ink as much as possible while providing good quality printing and long term reliability. After reading a number of reviews I decided to purchase this printer. None of the printers at this price point are perfect, but this one seemed to have the highest overall ratings and the fewest reports of serious problems that tend to plague these printers (e.g., paper jams) I have had it for about a month and am very happy. Set-up was easy using the phone based app. Print quality is good, and much faster than the old Brother all-in-one ink jet printer it replaced. Best Buy gave me $50 off the purchase price for recycling my old, non-working printer. Epson claims the individual ink bottles (one is required to fill a reservoir) are equivalent to 90 individual ink cartridges. The black reservoir can print up to 7500 pages and the color can print up to 6000 pages. I have not had a chance to test that claim but I have printed approximately 50-75 pages since buying the printer and have noticed only a slight decrease in the ink in the black reservoir. The cost for a new set of refill bottles is approximately $60 - which is not much more than I was paying for as set of much lower capacity cartridges for my old Brother printer. Based on this I am hopeful that this printer will be much less expensive to operate. Overall I am very satisfied with this printer and recommend it without reservation.

Overall, this printer (ET-4850) is pretty easy to set up & start using (approx. 20 - 25 minutes, with the ink tanks taking about 10 minutes to "load". And this uses up some of the ink, too). If you use it mostly for B&W printing, you should be very happy with it. Printing of most colors is also pretty straight-forward, with excellent quality. However, if you print a lot of PHOTOS, be warned that it takes a LONG time for just one 8.5 x 11 photo to print (a few minutes). If printing photos is a big part of what you use a printer for, I highly recommend going with one of the higher-end Epson liquid ink printers.

Great print quality. Easy to use. Thrilled with the ink supply! I was so sick of having to buy ink. A bit noisy but I really like this printer!

easy set up, easy to use, good guarantee, sales clerk was professional and courteous

Best budget choice for sublimation printing. The amount of ink I’ve used versus the number of prints I have done is amazing. The price is well worth the quality. I’m glad with the purchase all around.

Me: I use this printer maybe 2-3 times per week. Every and then, I run it like crazy printing gift tags. Reprinting gift tags. I use full color most of the time. I don't use it for work. I'm a retired stay at home mom. It's all about the refillable ink tanks! My printer is 2 years & 3 months old. I haven't had to refill a tank yet. Zero times! All four tanks are still about half full. Print quality is good. I haven't had great results printing photos. But, I'm not good about making sure the settings are correct for the quality I need. This thing can probably do tricks I've never heard of. For me, it's all about not having to replace ink cartridges all the time. Let's say it's Thursday night at 9:30. You're trying to print up 6 copies of something you need for a meeting the next morning at 9AM. The magenta cartridge runs out of ink, but you can still see a bit in there. And besides, you're just printing a B&W doc. But, NOOOOOOO. Your printer starts printing wacky looking black print. You look in the drawer where you keep your extra cartridges. You have EVERY COLOR except magenta. Ugh. You get the idea. I way over-thought this purchase because of the price. This printer is well on its way to paying for itself. Just do it.

Loving it! It works great with Mac! Very easy to set it up and print wuality is great.

So far so good....connecting to all available devices is a pain in the butt compared to all my Brother machines but overall extremely happy!!! Saves ink just not as user friendly ....cant change the size/customize the print.....frustrating but i can fix it.....maybe it's me being tech stupid but I'll google til i figure it out!!! Love the printer so far, beautiful colors and easy use if ditectly from a laptop/desktop......not as easy from a smart phone!!!!

Good quality prints, and easy setup. Love the less expensive eco-tank ink. Easy to use, not a geek type setup required.

Setup was easy ,and it prints well. Was able to add to home network and other mobile devices with ease.

I replaced my 6-year old Epson EcoTank ET-4750 printer with this new ET-4850. The new ET-3850 is just as good, but I needed the fax capability of the 4850. Print quality is really good and the ink lasts years at my fairly high print volume. I highly recommend if you hate messing with ink and paying high dollars for those small capacity ink cartridges. My old model served me well for years but toward the end I had to frequently clean the feed rollers. 5-Star rating is well deserved! PS…. I bought it on sale for about $150 off the regular price, so the value was great.

Set up instructions were clear and concise. Prints photos and print media well.
