Customer Ratings & Reviews

We are replacing all our Canon photo printers with the Epson - EcoTank 8550 and 8500. The printer works well and we are heavily using it daily. BestBuy's price was comparable to discounted sites we searched but delivery was far faster.

Love this printer!!! Great prints and wide range of prints. It has a defect or so but it’s a machine so of course it will but all in all it’s a great

I got this printer because it CAN print on thick cardstock, however doing the rear feed slot in the back is a bit of a nuisance. You have to partially disassemble the printer and keep trying to print from the back until it actually prints. I bought the printer to print up mock-up packaging for new products before spending money on "real" packaging. The printer prints nicely on Canon brand glossy photo paper, but leaves pizza wheel track marks on all other brands glossy photo paper that I have tried, including Epson brand photo paper. Matte photo paper doesn't have a gloss for the spikes to leave holes in so any non-glossy paper should be fine. I have tried 3 different brands of compatible inks and all worked good enough for me so you can save money on cheap ink. Some of the prints on photo paper will have extra marks on the paper where some of the excess ink rubs onto something and then onto the paper in the wrong spots, but those stray marks don't happen all the time. The stray marks just mean a good 13x19 photo paper is ruined and you need to print again. I also recommend waiting between poster prints to let the excess ink dry so it doesn't rub off onto the next paper and create stray marks. I haven't tried printing on any disks yet. To make sure the ink doesn't dry in the nozzles, you will need to find a 5 color Cyan Magenta Yellow K(black) Grey color print purge picture and print that as "regular" and a 1 color K(black) and print as photo paper glossy, to make sure all the nozzles are blasted clean, recommended about 1 time per week.

A little noisy but gets the job done! I would recommend getting if you know what your doing.

This printer was easy to setup and easier to use. I love the ability to print larger sizes.

I purchased the 2800 one first, but a few months later got this one too. The color print is sooo much better than the 2800,. I must admit that a few times when I printed from my iPad, it kept saying it was out of paper, or it would only print the top portion and the rest would come out blank. This sucked because I was using sticker paper. Once I switched backed to printing from the laptop, no more problems.

I love the ink capacity on this printer. I print A LOT!! I was plowing through ink on my HP and the ink on this has lasted me well over a year. My only complaints are the paper tray is quite small and needs frequent refilling. It also struggles connecting to WiFi for printing and takes a few minutes to "think".

This printer is awesome!!! Fast printing easy to set and use. Print with. Bright colors. I recommend anyone to buy this printer. I want another you cant go wrong with this printer

So far, after a few short weeks printing many numbers of images 81/2x11, 11x17 (paper sizes) this printer has given me beautiful results with no major issues. A couple of times it deposited/smudged a few corners of prints with black ink. Not enough to get into the image area but still a little odd. The image quality is really, really good. The images are all photography. The printer responds well to using ICC profiles and making adjustments - your monitor has to be set to lower brightness levels - how much lower depends on several things (too much to say here). If you're using this for photography, you won't be disappointed. I've now printed, at last count the other day, over 200 images, some having to print several times after adjustments. The ink is still well above 1/2 full in all the tanks. Lot's of positives. It's true what all those who have reviewed this say = no disappointments, especially if you're not hyper-critical. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

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!

I’ve been using this printer for a while now, and I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations. One of the biggest advantages of this printer is its EcoTank system, which replaces traditional ink cartridges with refillable ink tanks. The ink bottles included in the box last for hundreds of prints, so you don’t have to worry about constantly replacing cartridges. The photo print quality is exceptional. Connectivity options are also very flexible. With Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and SD card support, it's easy to print from virtually anywhere. In short, the ET-8550 is an excellent choice for anyone serious about photo printing. I'm extremely satisfied and would definitely recommend it to others.

Exactly what I was looking for and the gentleman that helped me was out of this world. Item was price matched and I received a great deal

Loved the printer works great! Liking being able to print bigger images rather than sending to print at a store.

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

Really love the printer! Excellent quality for my large format printed photographs. Eco tank ink consumption is great as compared to the typical cartridges. I bought it at Best Buy as I felt the extended warranty was the best value as compared to other retailers.

Excellent print and easy to use! Great image and color!

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.

I love this printer the photo comes out great. Also I’m glad I purchased the warranty the output tray got stuck went to bestbuy they replaced it with a new one.

This is one of the best printers I have ever had. The ink last very long. I have been printing lots of prints daily and it looks like I barely used any. The print quality is great! I highly recommend this printer.

Love a bunch of things about this printer: 1) Poster sized printing. 2) Ink tanks (not sure how long they will last, but I dig the idea at the very least). 3) Love printing straight from a phone. Couple things that aren't as great: 1) It's very loud. (There is a setting to minimize this, but I haven't tried it yet.) 2) The printing is a little slower than I was hoping. 3) It's a little more expensive that I was hoping for.
