Ink Never Ends!

I bought this printer several months ago and I wanted to test it to be sure I was able to write a good review on it. When I first bought this printer I was switching from a laser printer and I was not sure if the print speed would be fast enough for what I needed and if the ink was last as advertised. I put this machine to gauntlet. Since the day I purchased this printer in October 2020, I have printed over 9000 pages and I am still using first set of ink bottles that came with the unit (comes with two sets). The page print spend is not that bad and it is not as fast as a laser printer but the saving in ink makes ups for the extra minutes printing my large reports. The printer is little pricey but if you do a lot of printing your cost recovery is in the ink savings.
I do have a couple of issues. 1. This printer is very noisy when it prints. 2. When one of the printer trays runs out of paper it does not automatically switch to the other tray. This for me is a little annoying because I usually use cloud printing to print when I am out of the office traveling and when I return to the office I expect the print jobs to be completed. 3.

My Favorite Printer

This is my favorite printer of all time. I have owned a dozen printers and this is the best. I prefer the Epson refillable cartridges. The colors are sharp and vibrant. This printer can make two sided copies and even print booklets. I have printed well over 20,000 pages and this printer is still going strong. You will love this printer.

It uses refillable ink tanks instead of cartridges, which can significantly reduce your printing costs over time. Epson even offers a two-year unlimited ink program with registration. The ET-5850 produces excellent quality prints, with crisp text, vivid colors, and good detail, even on plain paper. You can print from virtually anywhere with Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet, and Bluetooth connectivity. Automatic duplexing ADF allows you to automatically print on both sides of paper and scan multi-page documents. This printer is bulky and may take up a significant amount of space on your desk. Slightly slower print speed compared to some laser printers.

So Far So Good

I bought this printer to replace an HP M281 Laser Printer. I tried buying the off brand toner cartridges for $70 for a set of four they despite good reviews they failed after 3 months. I simply cannot justify spending $400 for geniune HP xl cartridges.
So I was looking for speed, quality and ink affordability. This is based on my first impression, but I have to say I am very impressed. Very Fast, high quality $100 to replace ink every 18-24 months. Furthermore this printer in more flexible and sophisticated than the laser. It is a fairly large printer, but I have found a good spot for it. Actually exceeds my expectations.
Most all of the reviews provided until recently were by beta testers who received the printer for free in exchange for a review. Unfortunately, I was not given this printer for free, so at least you know the review is by someone who paid for the product :).

I had another EcoTank printer (ET-4850) and must say it was the worst product I've had from Epson. I was reluctant to continue with Epson but I read the reviews of this printer and thought it was a good choice. Frankly, this printer seems to be made well, works great and I've had no issue with it. Of course, I've not put it through it's paces like I'd done over time with the other. If you want a good product don't bother with the one I mention above, step up to the better one as I did. Yes, the price was too high but I bit the bullet!!!

I needed a printer that was relatively inexpensive to operate as i was replacing an hp page wide and wanted to have excellent quality and wanted to print from wided and wirefree devices. This printer checked all the boxes. Initially I was concerned thet i would give up some speed because I was improving the quality of characters on the page but really once it started printing. I was unable to tell the difference in speed. My only negative is that this printer was alot more expensive than the pagewide.

As a business-owner who provides IT services to customers of all types, I've begun recommending Epson EcoTanks right out of the gate. Speed, reliability and cost to operate sets this apart from many other models used in small offices.

I was VERY excited to purchase this pri ter. First I did a lot of comparisons and watched the price. The price doesn't often budge much. So when you see it on sale, snag it. I am not tech savvy. So I greatly appreciate the little window showing you what to do to perform certain task or for help. In many ways it is very user friendly. If you print from other devices you'll need to follow your specific devices instructions. That was the biggest issue. I still am trying to figure out paper source operations. I am very excited about the quality of print and print count.

First, I purchased this printer, it wasn't given to me for a review.
Now the Pros: Set-up was straight forward, ink tanks filled easily with no mess. Printer and copy speeds are decent. Quality is good.
Cons: The reason I purchased this printer was that it had two paper trays plus an additional paper tray on the back. I print my envelopes with electronic postage so having the option to always have envelopes loaded seemed like a good thing, the only problem with that logic is this printer can't correctly print a #10 envelope. I don't know if my next door neighbor knows anything about computers or printers but even if she knows nothing she would have been more help than the personnel at the Epson support center. After spending multiple hours on the phone with Epson support the printer still won't correctly print a #10 envelope. I could go on for quite a while on the support issues but suffice it to say those were several hours of my life wasted that I won't get back.
In summary I would not recommend this printer to anyone. It is reasonably fast and the print quality is good but there are a lot of printers on the market that fit that description and at a much better price point.

I have owned quite a few multifunction printers over the years. My last also being an Epson super tank bought in 2016. It's still going strong but I wanted to have several of these newer features as well as a faster printer speed. I actually bought this model to use as a home printer. I do enough printing of things to keep it busy. So far I've printed in black & white, and color. I've faxed, I've printed a document and a photo using the smart print app and I am thrilled with the results. I don't have any trouble with the paper jamming or not feeding properly. I have noticed the occasional out of place single dot of black ink (about the size of a sesame seed) along the very edge of a few documents though, on what would be page 2 of the document, even if I'm not printing on the second page. Hoping it clears up. Otherwise, the printer has been perfection for me The ADF worked perfectly when faxing mutile pages. With my former printer, it would often grab more than 1 page at a time, so I'd have to wait for the first page to start feedig into the ADF and then quickly put the next page into the tray, and so on, before the prior page was too far into the ADF. With this machine, I just stacked my documents into the ADF, selected fax, put the number in etc., and it worked beautifully. I would highly recommend this printer!
