Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Absolutely LOVE this printer! Took a bit to figure out some of it - like where exactly was tray 2 - but eventually figured it out. Since I print alot I really like the double sided printing as it saves on paper. It’s ot quiet but it’s not any louder than any other printer I’ve had. - I replaced my Brother laser with this one. The automatic openimg output tray was a surprise bonus but doesn’tclose unless you push the close button on the diplay which must be closed to load tray 2. Tray 2 doesn’t hold a lot of paper but it’s enough for me. I fill the tray every couple of weeks. Love the print quality too. Hope it stays working beautifully. Will only buy brand ink for this great printer to maintain it. Also like you can put larger paper in it too although I haven’t had an opportunity to try that out yet. Was well worth the investment!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

The major advantage of the ET-8550 for photo printing is the cost of ink. The software takes time to figure out. In fact, I am still trying to master it. The quality of photo prints is very good. Now the question is now long will the print last before fading. Only time will tell.

I love my 8550 has the best quality and easy to use!

It does exactly what I need it to ! I love this printer so much It was hard to set up but it was worth it.

Excellent printer for my home office and printing amazing pictures. Highly recommended

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

great printer for the price. Easy to use and the size is great for home offices.

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.

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