Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 is a solid all-in-one photo printer that delivers high quality wide-format prints. It's 6-color ink system gets you vivid quality, and offers extremely low running costs thanks compared to other photo printers. It's best suited for photographers, artists, and serious hobbyists who need near-professional-quality prints at home. I would not recommend that this printer be used for documents. It's scanner capabilities are sufficient

While it is too early to review the printer for performance (we have only had it a couple of weeks and have put it through all its capabilities yet) we can report that it does well at ordinary printing for office and personal correspondence. It does excellent scanning of photos, graphics and documents to PDF, JPEG, Tiff. Such copying as we need to do also works well. we have yet to do photo and art printing but will be tryin is out this coming week. Features of the machine like the output tray pushing out while printing after being hidden for neat appearance is cool. thick paper through the back feed works fine. We like the ink tanks instead of cartridges and the pricing on the ink as well.

very excellent printer great quality pictures very easy to work

All my past printers were Epson’s. I truly believe in this brand. This printer, the Epson ET 8550, OMG. I was speechless after my first test prints. I made some test prints of my daughters and her friends recent figure skating competition pictures and it blew my mind. The quality of the print on Epson Photo Paper is outstanding. When I showed these pictures to my friends, and they though the pictures were taken by a professional photographer and prints were made in a professionally controlled print lab. If anyone is planning to buy this printer, I would say just go for it. You won’t regreat investing your money on this. The price is little bit at higher end but it’s worth it. I just got some sample photo papers of other brand, of course which are compatible to this printer. I will check those and come back with the results.

I talked quite a while at Best Buy about which printer to buy. I’m so glad I picked this model. I have small office and they do small projects with different size paper and prints so this works out great for me. Hook up to the computer went fantastically easy for me And I have an older computer. The photo paper fits in the slot. Nice pictures print out very nice computer software worked well with this printer. That’s where I usually have a problem ,set up was easy with the ink. I have nothing bad to say about this printer and I’m pretty fussy. It was $150 off big reason why I bought it. They didn’t have this in stock. They mailed it to my house in three days. What a deal at no cost to me.

It is easy to use, reliable and have a high quality of printouts! I really loved it and very convenience to everyone!

Was relatively easy to set up and makes beautiful prints! Wish it had larger paper storage tray but works beautifully.

So far so good. I got this for printing art prints for my business after spending months looking at other printers, reviews, etc. I decided to get this once the price dropped and it did. Otherwise I was going to stick it out with my hp printer which is doing an ok job with the right paper. But I learned that while it can print pretty nicely on matter paper, you need to adjust the settings accordingly to get the best print quality.

I love this printer, and i got it for a great deal. I have one at home and one in my classroom, i teach art and use it to print digital art among other things. I jave had zero issues, I jave owned it for about 6 months.

everything i expected in a printer very easy to set up and use

I love this printer . It works really good! The quality of the print is amazing.

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.

If you use it correctly, this produces pretty amazing photos. Use the correct paper, probably Epson. I initially tried it with old photo paper and was on the cusp of returning it. The ink and paper were designed to work together. Epson really ought to include a couple sheets with the product so you see the results. I really like the way the ink tanks are filled. This is a huge upgrade from the inkjet cartridges, and looks like it simply will work better and much cheaper overall. The low cost of the cartridge ink jet printers is recouped when you buy more cartridges. I'm impressed with the way the ink bottles have "keys" so you can't get the wrong color in the wrong tank...that's really crucial. So far, love it. Epson's software could be more modernized.

I needed a new photo printer and have used Epson and Canon photo printers in the past. After researching and talking to some people I know that had purchased the Epson Photo ET8550, I purchased one myself. I've had the printer for 3 months now and am very happy with this printer. The photos it produces are gorgeous and the use of ink is stingy! From 8" x 11" prints to the 13" x 19" prints all are simply photo lab equivalent. I have had zero problems with this printer since owning and printing many, many photos. I can't say enough about this printer. If you are looking for a great photo printer, you will love this one. I am so happy that I purchased this printer ... it is Great!!!

Perfect for me every protector had a blast of color I haven’t had any issues with this printer at all I love it

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

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 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".

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.
