Customer Ratings & Reviews

First, the printer was simple to set up and get networked. Second, it's a relatively fast printer, even for photographs. Third, the color prints done on photo paper look very good. Lastly, the Ecotank technology will save money, as the inks come in 70 ml bottles that are used to fill the six tanks on printer and they are far less costly than typical ink jet cartridges with less printing capacity. This is an expensive printer and one should look for discounts. Best Buy had a very good sale price along with an Epson sponsored $75 discount for trading in my old failed printer.

Very good printer. Photos printed on photo paper look excellent. Printed 8 1/2 by 11 photos and came out great. The ink bottles supplied with it to fill the onboard print tanks hold about 2.3 of ink. Printed several 8 1/2 by 11 photos and have not used much ink at all. price is a little high, but shopped around. Might pay more up front for this... but you'll love the savings on ink cartridges.

Easy setup. Printing from my phone has never been more simple and quick with the epson apps. Quality of prints has been great.

Setting up out of the box was quick and simple. Color print speed is what I expected. Color print quality is very good for my needs (I'm not a pro photographer). I miss not having an auto-feeder and don't like that the output tray does not automatically retract.

very good printer, i only printed 8 x 11.5. print is very nice. ecotank ink should keep cost of ink down. people like to get bigger prints. great picture quality paper tray is flimsy, just be gentle. easy to set up.

Very happy with this printer. After filling the ink reservoirs the printer preps the conduits to the print head and then all the ink the levels drop a bit less than 1/4 , but do not worry, the original cartridges have ink leftover for you to almost top of again, nice touch Epson, and thank you. Also, the print quality is very good, I really like it. Have printed on glossy and lustre photo paper. I definitely recommend this printer, have only used the rear top tray with a couple of sheets at a time, highly recommend this product, have printed more than 10 large sizes and ink levels have hardly dropped, can’t really tell. Expecting very low ink costs.

My experience with the Epson printer has been amazing. The print quality is excellent, and I have no complaints. It was easy to set up, and it’s simple to operate.

I love it. It was a rough start because I was using my iPad and it kept saying paper out in #2 and spitting the paper out the back feed. I needed help from Epson and Apple. When I installed the program on my desktop Mac, everything changed. I was able to print my 12 x 12 files, the reason I purchased it. Alls right with the world and I love it. The color is great too. I would recommend it even if you aren’t totally computer literate.

My one concern about this was the potential mess with filling it with ink from bottles but the ink doesn't come out of the bottles unless they're latched onto the ink tank. Extremely easy to use. I did have one paper jam since using it but it walked me through how to get the paper unstuck which was nice

Been a great printer so far. Print quality if amazing. I do wish it could detect when the output tray has been emptied so it could auto close when the auto turnoff feature activates.

We bought this printer to handle more advanced and demanding large format printing and photo needs. Little did we know we were also getting a workhorse that could power even mundane tasks. My family found ourselves in a bind not having ordered holiday cards and decided to try printing our own. Not only did this printer help us power though our card list (75+ double sided color holiday cards) but the printing quality never showed streaks, roller lines or evidence of overuse.

Thus far, this printer has been a workhorse. It was a breeze to setup, the software works flawlessly, and it provides quality prints. This is leaps and bounds better than our old HP.

Very impressed with this Printer and Epson. The printer came securely packaged and was easy to set up with Epson's companion App. This is my first Epson and I am excited by the new Technology for Ink . I printed photos from my Iphone 12 Pro Max and they were spectacular. Although the initial cost is high it is very inexpensive when you factor standard inkjet cartridges year after year , and the operation of the hardware and software are first rate. Highly recommend it . Great job Epson!

Excellent printer; everything works great and prints amazing quality.

Great quality on the print. Bought this for my daughter who’s an architect major in college and she loves it

I wanted to have a high quality printer that I could experiment with creatively. You really can't do that with a cartridge printer because of the high cost for each print produced. An eco tank printer, with it's much lower ink costs, lets you do that. So far the outputted pages of have not disappointed.

I like using the epson 8550 printer. The prints come out great and the use of ink makes it very affordable and last longer than an inkjet printer

The Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 has completely transformed the way I run my online selling business. As someone who relies heavily on printing high-quality product labels, inserts, and promotional materials, this printer is truly the backbone of my operations. If you're running a small business or need high-volume, high-quality printing, I can't recommend the ET-8550 enough. It’s more than just a printer—it's a powerful tool that’s elevated the professionalism and efficiency of my brand.

The prints are amazing. Great quality. It does great with all types of paper and card stock. Very impressed

This is an excellent printer. Great for printing high quality photos and a range of paper types and sizes. Easy to set up and connect to your existing computer and printer systems.
