Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had more printers than I can count in my life, all of whom come up with some way to handle ink refills and such, and basically they are all bad at it. Ink is prohibitively expensive and the printers are almost free by comparison. Epson might have the right answer with the ink tank based printers. No need for some subscription to send you replacement cartridges (which, btw can be disabled by the company that sent them) and sending just ink makes sense. To start: Packaging is straightforward, printer, literature, cartridges and refills. Setup is easy, literally plug and play, install the drivers for scan support and off you go. It's no secret that I dont like most printers, they are difficult to work with and rroutinely have random problems that make no sense. As yet I've not run into any of those issues with this printer which is a huge positive. Quality: Print quality is good, as good as any other current printer on the market. Uses more ink for higher quality prints, but with the ink tanks, I care a whole lot less about that. The scans are great, it seems most scanners for whatever reason are limited to 600x600 resolution, however this one is 1200x2400 which is quite good. Speed: It's an inkjet so you're not going to get laser level speed, but you'll have the option to print to glossy photo paper so there's that trade off, that said, so long as you're *not* printing high quality prints, the speed is more than acceptable. Overall: If you're in the market for a good printer with the all in one capabilities and not having to worry about ink cartridge replacements, this really is the right answer. It seems Epson may be the one company that isn't trying to gouge you for the carts and you can control what you do with it in that regard. For other companies taking notes, this is the right answer.

Thanks to recent ink-tank technology (as opposed to the older ink-cartridges), inkjet printers have become an economically more viable option once again. And now, with the supertank version, it’s even better. The Epson EcoTank ET-4950 Wireless All-in-One Color Supertank Printer is a great example. I have been using an all-in-one ink-tank printer by Epson that is very similar to the ET-4950. It has the same features as this one and has performed very well. However, its footprint is very large. As a result, I am thrilled to see Epson come out with the ET-4950. It packs all of the same features and quality into a wonderfully small footprint. This is perfect for me, as I plan to move into a small shed-office on our property soon. As expected, set-up was simple and without any hiccups. Though you do need to fill the ink tanks with the supplied ink, and that takes a few moments. Otherwise, I had it up and running, connected to our wifi, and printing in short order. Everything worked as advertised and the quality is just what you expect from Epson ink printers - clear, clean, and colorful - including excellent photo prints on photo paper. The only caveat I would add is that this is probably not the best choice if your main purpose is to print photos on small format photo paper (think 4X6). Epson has many other excellent printers specifically for that purpose. The ET-4950 also handled making copies and scanning images with ease and of good quality. Successfully managing to put all of these features into a compact footprint makes the Epson ET-4950 a clear winner in my book.

The Epson printer comes packaged very well and was very easy to set up. The setup took all of maybe 7 minutes, connecting to the WiFi was what took the longest. The inks were quick and zero mess. Once hooked up I tested out the printing of typed documents, photos and some labels. 1. The Documents were sharp and crisp looking. No smudging. 2. Over the course of a week, the documents kept looking sharp and crisp even after 1000 plus pages. Photos came out very sharp and not to inky. 1. Colors were vibrant yet sharp. Using labels was simple and intuitive. They came out perfect and quickly. This leads to the claim that the promoting prints in 4800 x 1200 , it shows. Features: Double sided printing and scanning was excellent which say around 10 pages a min for me. I did get a little more single sided. The small tft screen is responsive and bright. The screen is very colorful and does what you needed. The paper tray holds 250 pages. One of the best two features to me is the ink, the ink bottles last up to 3 years which is a bold claim but the bottles seem perfect. In closing- the Epson is a great blend of technology but also perfect balance of features that don’t overwhelm.

So far this has been a great printer. I found the setup process to be really easy: I don't like phone setup, and I don't like chat interface, but I decided to put that aside and see how easy it would be. The app was really easy to use, it linked easily to the printer and the step by step instructions in the chat were easy to follow and always super accurate. Due to firmware updates and other configuration pieces the whole process took approximately twenty minutes. I liked the refillable ecotanks and I'm really hoping that it means less waste and cheaper ink in the longer term. Printing from anywhere in the house is easy - on phones and laptops. There have been no issues so far. I've used other wifi printers and so far I've found the mobile and windows experience to be better than the ones I've see from other brands. I tend to use printers for personal/family paperwork - all of our online receipts and paperwork for kids and taxes that we need to get done, along with scanning important documents to archive online. I don't find any issues with the print quality for these kind of purposes. I haven't tried any high quality print jobs to really push the limits but it will more than adequately meet my purposes. I hope that getting ink bottles that I can refill means that it will be overall cheaper to keep using it long into the future.

Maybe I can start recommending Epson printers again. This is a new unit so time will tell how it holds up as far as reliability is concerned. It is so nice they got rid of those dang cartridge's. The amount of money that will be saved should be noticeable. I always found it interesting how fast those old printers would dry out and cause you to have to go buy new ink and use half of it to recalibrate it. Just a money pit. The maintenance on this printer is actually a bit more than the old style but it will keep you happy in the long run. No more mystery clogs and dried out print heads. Just make sure you pay attention to the maintenance. Like anything else, if you take care of it, it will take care of you. I appreciate the document feeder. Those are basically a must have from now on in a printer. Duplex printing is a neat feature that more printers should have. Connectivity is pretty easy (Wi-Fi, USB, Ethernet) regardless of what PC eco system you are in (Mac, Windows or Linux) Only time will how long the included ink will last seeming as though they say it should be about three years. I have always been a fan of Epson printer, just didn't like the fact that if I didn't use it for a while I knew I was going to but more ink because the heads would dry up. looking forward to enjoying this one.

The Epson EcoTank ET-4950 printer was super simple to set up and comes with four bottles of ink to fill up the reservoir chambers. I appreciate how much ink capacity this printer and that when the time comes to refill a color, I can do it by just getting another bottle and adding it to the reservoir, and it's way cheaper than traditional ink cartridges. Basic print quality is good. We mostly use it for simple documents and black and white coloring pages. It prints quite a bit faster than my old printer, and the dual side printing is a huge plus. But it does a decent job for photos when you crank up the dpi. I love the flexibility that I have with the built in Wi-Fi, where I can just connect it to my wireless network and then print from any device on my network whether it be a desktop computer, laptop, phone or tablet. The scanner and copier are relatively quick and easy to use as well and I love the auto feed function. So if you're looking for a good small office printer or for your home use, then the EcoTank ET-4950 is a fantastic choice.

The Epson - EcoTank ET-4950 Wireless All-in-One Color Supertank Inkjet Printer is advertised as “The Ultimate Home Office Printer” and based on my experiences with it so far, it certainly lives up to this lofty standard. One of the first things that most people worry about when purchasing a new printer is the inevitable ongoing costs of replacement ink cartridges. With the EcoTank ET-4950, ink cartridges are now a thing of the past. Instead, the ink is replenished with easy-to-use EcoFit bottles which contain way more ink than the old cartridges that were used in older printers. One of the other things that is unique about this EcoTank ET-4950 is its permanent printhead that is engineered to last the life of the printer. This is a big difference compared to other conventional thermal inkjet printers and something that really increases the value and longevity of the machine. As an “All-in-One” printer, the EcoTank ET-4950 has many of the other common features you would expect from an all-in-one printer including a 30-sheet auto document feeder, flatbed scanner, high-capacity 250-sheet paper tray, and the ability to print and scan from a mobile device via the Epson Smart Panel app. It also includes the various connection options of Ethernet, Wi-Fi 5, and even an old-school USB-B port if you want a direct connection to your PC. I found all of these features to work as expected and I honestly can’t find even one thing to complain about when it comes to this printer and its functionality. This seems to be the norm when it comes to the exceptional products the Epson brand continues to release and I am happy to say this Epson – EcoTank ET-4950 Wireless All-in-One Color Supertank Inkjet Printer has certainly lived up to the Epson name.

This printer comes nicely boxed and easy to remove and set up. There were both written instructions and instructions via the Epson app. Printers with ink tanks always make me nervous since I fear spilling the container as I am filling the tank. Although I have experience with filling the tanks with ink, I did manage to spill some on my desk, when the empty bottle tipped over. I quickly did the clean up with rubbing alcohol. The instructions take you through step by step set up with the smart panel on the printer. I had a little trouble loading the paper since there is the upper section for the printer page and this confused me but I eventually figured it out. There are different size options for printing as well as a scan and fax setting. It took me less than 1 hour to set up this printer and I was very impressed with how Epson does instructions. This printer is nice and compact and allows me to keep in a tight space. I am really impressed with how the paper tray functions. When you shut it off, the paper tray completely slides inside the printer so that it is not exposed. This keeps the paper free from any dust. Epson printers are now my new favorite! I highly recommend this printer.

Ive owned plenty of printers and used plenty of various types of printers, from Laser, to desktop to full combinations to even dot matrix older printers and the one thing I can say is the newer printers out there are a huge improvement over anything Ive used in the past. Epson is the leader in printing today and consistently releases printers that stay ahead of the game when it comes to funxctionality and all around capabilities. This all in one printer is no exception and comes with full functionality when it comes to printing, scanning and wireless funtionality. The Eco-Tank portion of this printer makes it easy to add reasonably priced ink of all colors to each tank seamlessly and keeping costs down. Lets face it toner and ink is the major expense when it comes to printers today and subscription based ink is the game that keeps a recurring revenue for the printer companies, however Epson is not cartrdges, its actually bottles of ink which eliminates the plastic cartridge component and just allows you to buy the ink. Id recomment this printer to anyone looking for great printing capability along with keeping ink costs down.

I've had my share of printers, and like most people have always had issues! Of course most of the issues revolve around running out of ink and cost of the ink cartridges, etc... I think I've finally found the solution to my issues! Each replacement bottle is equal to 90 (yes, you read that correctly) standard ink cartridges!! Thats unreal! Epson said this is enough ink to last 3 years, and honestly I believe it! Thats alot of ink! As a parent, I've got thousands and thousands of pictures of my kids that I always say I'll print, but I never get around to it because the print quality is soooo bad on my home printer, and there's no easy way to print them! The app has been very simple and intuitive to use to print my pictures from both my phone and my laptop. To me, this is one of the best parts! Printing without this app was so cumbersome in the past that I usually just wouldn't even do it, but now I have no more excuses because this is so easy, and the end product ends up looking so good! I cant tell the difference between my photos I printed here on this printer, and the ones I got from the store!
