Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent printer. Easy to install, print quality is very nice, ink is less expensive and lasts longer than cartridges.

I really like the design of this printer with how easy it is to refill the ink without having to constantly buy cartridges. I'm impressed with the speed it prints and scans. I haven't tried the fax functionality. For scanning, I like the ability to see the scan on your phone using the Epson app and then being able to share it via email or text (among other ways).

This is my 2nd Epson EcoTank printer and it's just as great and possibly even better than it was. Having the touchscreen on it is a big help, much better than the one that was on my first EcoTank. It's quieter as well and prints quickly and easily. What is really great is the easy access to the add ink to the 'tanks'. Much less chance of a spill occuring. I actually ended up with absolutely no ink on my fingers, which I'm not sure I ever managed on my first EcoTank. All in all, a great printer. Now, my one big con for this printer is the the Epson scan utility... I COULD NOT get it to load and work correctly no matter what I tried, including uninstalling it several times and reinstalling it. (Thus my taking 1 star off for the "Ease of Use" rating.) However, I managed to find a fellow EcoTank owner on the forum page who had similar problems and then recommended a REALLY great free app to download which sets up extremely easy and runs quickly and efficiently at scanning, plus has a much better edit capability, as well as other much appreciated capabilities. It's called NAPS2 and loaded quickly and easily on my Windows11 laptop and works seamlessly with this printer. So, don't let Epsons poor score for their scanner software they provide, they DO make up for that with the printer itself, and with finding a great scanner app that works so well with it - all is GREAT!

Easy setup and love the ink tanks goodbye expensive ink cartridges. Fast prints and good quality. I like the app for remote printing and the capability to print from all of my devices.

The printer is fast. It's clear it prints beautifully and it's easy in ink. The setup was a little difficult but once i got it set up everything was good.

I bought this printer after using an eco-tank printer, a 4800, I kept thinking I should have bought this printer years ago. This was the best decision of my life. The ink last forever, awesome purchase.

So far so good. Links up nicely with phones and it prints well.

It's a little loud, but it's a great product for the price point. It's too new to give a lengthy review, but it certainly is working well!

Love it. Product is great. Print quality is amazing especially on speciality paper. Love the size. It's perfect for a small space.

I got this to replace an older eco tank ET-2750, which last until the heads wore out after 6 years or so. I like the tray holder for the paper- keeping the paper flat, and lets you load more paper at once. I like the feeder option too to scan more than one page at a time instead of having to lift the scanner lid and replace pages on the flatbed. I haven’t tried photo prints yet. Pro - no stinking cartridges! Con- still can’t empty the waste ink tank. Kinda pricey but got a coupon for recycling the older model.

I love having this printer. It would be great if it could do front and back scanning, but either way, it is worth buying.

I have two complaints about this printer. First and the worst problem I have experienced is the printer has now failed to print 4 documents that have contained graphics. The printer starts to print and then stops. The display screen says "printing" but after waiting ten minutes the print job is still frozen. I have to go to settings, printers, find my printer and open the job queue and delete the job. Then I have to reboot my computer before the printer will print another document. Now I can print the same graphics document on my ET-5850 in a few seconds. One may ask why didn't you use the ET-5850 in the first place? Well, I paid $500.00 plus 6% tax and 4 extra bottles of ink for the ET-4850 while waiting to buy either the ET-5880 or ET-5850 printer and I plan on getting something for my investment. I don't know if the printer stops printing because it doesn't have sufficient memory or the if this is a software problem. The second problem I have experienced is paper jams and paper not being pulled into the printer. I have solved this problem by only filling the paper tray 3/4 full. My printer will not work if the paper tray if full. The small LCD display makes it difficult to navigate the interface. I knew it was small before my purchase but my display measures 2" x 1-1/2". I don't know where the 2.44" spec comes from. The best thing about this printer is the ink tanks. One set of ink will fill all 4 tanks. I believe the printer will fail before I run out of ink. The replacement ink is a bargain and with the same quantity is half the cost of ink for the ET-5850. I would rather pay a fair price for the printer up front than be afraid to use the printer because of high replacement ink. Another good thing about the ink tanks is one does not have to worry about getting air into the print head. As long as you keep ink above the lower level, there is no way air can get into the system. I also use this printer to print from my Iphone. So, I would recommend those looking to purchase an ink tank printer go with the ET-5850 or ET-5880 if you can find one. You won't regret it.

I've had the printer about a month and so far I've been satisfied. Purchased it because it had all the features that my 20 year old HP printer, that finally died, had. Only problem I had was, it would not let me register it online. I had to call Epson, they were very helpful and helped me get it registered. Other than that, printer was easy to set up. Like that it has double-sided printing, scanning and makes copies. Fax works great and was easy to use. Hope the ink lasts as long as advertised.

Best printer I ever had. Love the ease of loading the ink. Scanner works great also. Prints great pictures.

This is my first tank-type inkjet printer, and the results have met my expectations. I know I’ll be even more impressed when I don’t have to replace the cartridges after a few hundred pages! Epson’s software takes a little getting used to after using HP printers for many years, but if that’s the worst problem I have, then I’m doing good. I was a little disappointed when I saw how much ink the initialization process took, but after about 500 pages (100 at max quality), the tanks have barely moved.

Prints GREAT photos. I scanned a 50-year-old faded picture and tweaked it with tools and photoshop. It came out looking like new. The print speed is perfectly fine. This thing works better than expected. it has surpassed my expectations, and the reviews don't do it justice. I think it is real bargain at its price point. I

One of the Best printers out there ,easy to fill and you can see the ink levels , and prints hundreds of pages and still lots of ink,not cheap but the nice screen, 250 pages it will take and alot cheaper ink far out way the expense of a cheap printer with expensive ink and it prints great prints, I bought HP printers for years ,not any more, with this great printer, alot of extra settings and quiet too.

I like the size of this printer, it seems to be functional does a decent job on the print quality a little slower than my other one

The quality of printing is exceptional. Scanning is simple to perform. The EcoTank ink system is really clean and easy to use. The replacement cost of ink appears to be much lower than cartridge systems. Setup on my home network was simple and easy to accomplish.

The Epson EcoTank ET-4850 is an excellent printer. I've owned it for 1 year now. I've only used half of the ink that came with the printer. I'm good for 1 more year. The ink sells for about $60, = 2 Year supply. If you are printing photos, fairly good. My photo printer does a better job. My ink for my photo printer is about $120, three times a year, $360. The printing quality for documents is excellent! I have my Epson running WiFi through my router. Everyone in the house can print to it.
