Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect for printing 11x17 sheets. Very fast and efficient. Color printing is good but definitely not presentation material. Still very good prints just not laser printing quality!

Great for those who need a reliable printer and scanner that can print and scan 11x17 paper. One of the few printers that can auto-feed 11x17.

We use this printer for our business and we've yet to run out of ink yet almost a year and half later. It's worth paying more for this type of printer.

This printer handles oversized paper up to 13x19 for making small quantity business brochures and presentations. Business text and graphics look good as long as non-waterproof inkjet is acceptable. Photos are okay, but far from the quality of a dedicated photo inkjet with 6 or seven colors. The11x17" scanning capability, even for two-sided multipage documents is excellent and worth a lot if scanning is important to you. Large capacity ink tanks will save tons of money over time. Great for anyone who prints more than average, And the printer comes with what Epson claims to be a 2 year ink supply in the box for average use!

We pitched the smaller Epson printer first and loved the print quality. We do a ton of printing every day and this was a very affordable alternative to leasing an all-in-one copied. We love it!

I print in very high volume and while the start up cost for the printer is higher than normal printer, you more than get your money back in ink.

Once I finally received this printer, it was very easy to set up. Securely packaged with lots of tape to prevent movement of delicate parts.

my wife says this is overkill but when you need a print out you need it. setup simple for Mac an windows. it's big!

Eco tank is amazing, keep refills on side work amazing from. Day 1, I just got my second one

Well packaged. Easy to set up. Prints fast and ink dries fast, Very clear copies. Quiet.

Works great! Easy to set up. Ink will brings savings.

I love this printer, very good quality and cheap to refills.

As other reviewers have noted, I received this product in exchange for an honest and open review. Following is what I hope you'll find is useful and helpful information. This printer is massive. It's larger than most laser printers I've owned. However, for its size, its weight is around 60 pounds. It is easily un-boxed, despite the weight, and you can complete the set up quickly, too. This machine features a total of three paper trays. One handles regular papers and envelopes, the other handles heavyweight or special paper. The remaining tray is a manual feed tray. The two main trays hold around 300 pages or so of standard paper. The really nice thing is that both main trays will allow paper up to size 11x17 inches. Not many printers have this feature. There's even room for A3+, Other selections include 3x5, 4x6, 6x8, 8x10, 8 1/2 x 11 inches, as well as legal and tabloid size papers. The ink supplied is, for an average user, enough for about two years' worth of printing, according to Epson. Or, it is about the equivalent of what might be contained in about 55 standard inkjet cartridges. Thankfully, though, there are no cartridges to buy for this revolutionary Epson printer. Simply (and, I do mean simply) fill the ink tanks with the supplied, bottled inks, and then set the device to "charge the ink tanks" in about 20 minutes. Begin printing laser quality prints immediately thereafter. The scanner allows your choice of scans in full color or black and white. The really exceptional thing with this printer is that the scanner readily allows scans from an impressive variety of document sizes--all the way up to 11x17 inches. To really make a great all-in-one, though, in my opinion, you must have an auto document feeder. Epson must have known that, too, since the Epson Workforce Eco Tank ET-16500 has its own auto document feeder. This just makes copying, scanning and faxing multi-page documents a breeze. A full-color, touch screen LCD allows you to adjust settings quickly, and quick-access buttons alongside the touchscreen make functions like copy, scan, and fax even easier. Another useful feature is that by using the simple touchscreen, you can store contact information for up to 200 speed-dial fax recipients.. A flash media card reader makes it possible to print directly from flash media cards. USB, wired (Ethernet) and WiFi connections to your network are no problem to set-up using the printer's touchscreen and its pre-installed connection wizard software. Print speeds are fast enough, and they are up to par with my expectations. Print quality is, frankly, impressive. You can actually get laser quality prints from this all-in-one, revolutionary printer. Epson's proprietary printing technology also makes exceptionally efficient use of ink. This device takes its use of the word "Eco" to the mark by being better for the environment. The ET-16500 is certified as an Energy Star product, using less energy and less ink to deliver better, Epson quality. The only thing that is perhaps missing from this AWESOME printing solution is it's own cabinet in which to store paper or extra ink bottles. But, really, who needs a built in cabinet to store ink when you have Epson's ink tanks as your built-in storage solution? You can certainly store almost an entire ream of paper in both the main paper trays. For home office to small office solutions to your printing, copying, faxing and scanning needs, the Epson Workforce Eco Tank ET-16500 is sure to be very hard to beat.

Good machine. Easy to set up and love the ink vs replacing cartridges with our contract copier. Didn't give it a 5 star only because it seems a little slower than advertised when doing double sided color pages.

I bought the Epson Workforce ET – 16500 because of the wide-format and all-in-one printing. It uses little ink, which makes it cost-efficient.

I was dragging purchasing because it seemed so expensive at $800. But when it came time to buy more ink and I'd have to shell out $90 for more ink, I said forget it. I'd recoup the money in no time.

I love the printer. I have not printed pictures or used the larger format printing option, but I have been very satisfied with the printer for everyday office use.

Having problem with it printing 11x17 from my laptop. other than that it works great.

I liked everything about this printer except for the quality of photos. I called Epson support and after a while they wanted to refer me to their advanced support. The lady helping me came back on the phone and said that after talking to their advanced support, they couldn't help me if I wasn't using Epson photo paper. So, I ordered Epson paper - and got the same results. Called again and after quite a while was told they would refer me to advance support again. When the gal came back on the phone, she said Advanced Support couldn't help me because this printer only uses 4 colors of ink - so the results will not get better. So, I returned the printer and am ordering an Epson with 5 colors of ink. If you don't care about the quality of your photos, it's a fine printer for documents. For the price, I was hoping this printer would do both documents and nice photos - it doesn't.

I purchased this for my business, we had 3 older hp printers and my ink cost was $180 month . I replaced all of them with one of these
