Customer Ratings & Reviews

Setup was easy. Screen was very easy to manipulate. Printed several sheets in black and white and all were surpurb. I have not use the other functions yet but very satisfied so far.

The Epson 8700 ET is awesome for a small business as well as for just an individual. I printed out the House Intelligence Committee Impeachment Inquiry Report over 300 pages in just a few minutes. It is especially cool in that the 8700 prints automatically on both sides of the page so 300=150 typed pages. The printed page is very sharp. The ink supply for the unit makes it economical to purchase the 8700 over less expensive printers in my view. I am 100% pleased with the purchase.

It’s been a few months since my last printer review so Epson sent over the new Workforce Pro ET-8700 for me to review. This printer is a very similar to the Workforce 7710 but comes in a smaller form factor. Still the same bells and whistles with Color Printing, Scanning, Faxing and phot printing just in a nice boxy form factor. This printer seems like a great fit for smaller spaces where you need an all in one but don’t want to take up a whole desk. This is tall and boxy. Set up is a breeze. Took a whole 5 minutes. The hardest part is tearing all the blue tape from it. They locked the printer down in every possible way with the tape to prevent any movement during shipping. The ink system is very different from anything I have seen prior though. these are like big ketchup packets that you put in drawers on the bottom of the printer. They are said to have about an 11,000 color page print count per set. The printer I received had 2 complete sets. This would most likely be more than enough for a years worth of printing for most home office.Initializing the system took a while but once it was ready, the remaining set up was super simple. Like the prior Epson printers I have reviewed, this one has a nice clear bright touchscreen on the front for set up. I chose to set up the system using Wifi but there was a connection for a hardwire if that was something you wanted to use.One of my favorite tests is to immediately print something from my iPhone. This is how I am going to be printing photos 90% of the time. Straight from the phone. Like all of the recent Epson printers, this one worked PERFECTLY!You can see the normal print wizard pop right up in IOS and the printer is found automagically and the print came out wonderfully. This was on normal printer paper but I am sure it would have been even nicer on glossy photo print paper. The whole print took just a few seconds to pop out. Super easy, quiet and good quality.I’ve been printing normal business documents with it throughout the day and it’s fast and efficient. For my home office with moderate printing requirements, this is more than enough printer for me. The longevity of the printer ink will be something I will watch for but all in all, no issues at all with this printer from set up to printing.

The Epson ET-8700 is a powerhouse all around. Working my way from the outside inwards: The All in One unit is not small, but for what it can do its size is just right. The machine has 2 paper trays. Eco Ink meaning the ink will last you quite a while longer. The large display screen allows for easy and very visible navigation through the menu for settings and adjustments. The large buttons on the center make it easy to get to where you need to go as well as the larger fax number keys on the front right are perfect size to make sure you are pressing the intended button. The Printer functionality is as expected and better. The auto duplex printing feature is something to be careful with. Once you have it, you will never want a printer that does not have this feature. Amazing and what a time saver. It printers the document out and pulls it back in for reverse side printing. No more turning manually. It prints documents and pictures lighting fast. The network functionality of this printer is wonderful. The software allowed me to find the printer right away. No hassle. The entire unit was setup in less than 7 min (Including unboxing). The Scanner factuality is again something you would not normally have. Auto Duplex scanning. Again what a productive and time saving feature. Networking scanning to email or file server is easily setup. I used the Web gui since I was familiar with Epsons interface before. Faxing with this machine is a dream. You can add contacts via either the front panel or the software or the web interface. I used the fax function through the computer (print to fax). Very nice and works great. After Installing the software and drivers the USB port on the printer will be mounted on your computer (also if used via Network mode). This means once you plug in a USB stick into the printer you can edit / view the files on your computer. Very handy for last second edits. A final suggestion for the second tray (the one in the back) I use it for envelops which help again with timing since I do not have to get up and change the paper to envelope I can simply select tray 2 and printer my addresses on the envelope without even getting up. This unit really does everything an expensive office printer would do however for less cost of one and also no expensive maintenance / support group. I recommend this printer for home and small to medium business use. Future feature I would like to see is a toner / laser version of this unit.

As I received the printer, the size of the box made me feel like that setting up the printer would be a daunting task. In fact, the installation and the configuration of the printer was just the opposite. After it took some time to remove the printer from box and remove all of the tape and packaging, the installation of the ink packs, the initialization and WiFi configuration of the printer, the firmware update and the installation of the Epson iPrint app on my iPhone was quick and painless. All-in-all, from opening the printer box to printing the first test page, that whole process took about 45 minutes. I was amazed at the speed in which the printer printed, not only in black and white but surprisingly in color as well. By the time that I walked across the room, the documented had already printed and in color no less. The quality of the prints were excellent. A lot of this depends on the paper that it is being printed on. Needless to say, the speed and the quality of the printing was spectacular! I love the fact that this printer does not use ink cartridges. The "EcoTank" system used in the ET-8700 uses ink pouches. Epson includes 2 XL black ink pouches and 3 ink pouches for each of the other colors. Out of the box, there is enough ink to last 2 years Epson claims. Of course the mileage of the ink pouches will vary depending on your printing needs. It's good knowing that I'm not wasting my money by having to always be buying ink cartridges. It's also good knowing I'm using less resources. This is the reason why I will continue buying the EcoTank system of products from Epson in the future. All other companies should follow Epson's lead. Scanning is wonderful and very convenient. Not only do you have the ability to configure and scan documents using the flat bed scanner but you also have the ability to scan using the rear document feeder. You also have the multitude of options on where to send scans from the printer itself and from the Epson iPrint app on your mobile device. The quality of the scans were fantastic! The printer also copies documents very well. Just place the document on the flatbed scanner or through the document feeder and the printer will print the copies one-sided or double-sided quickly and with great print quality. The mobile app allows me to manage printing capabilities from my phone. I can send photos or documents to be printer from my phone. I can preview scans and save scans using my phone. The app is pretty versatile for the functions that I need it to do. The look of the interface isn't all the best but for me that's easily overlooked. Cliche as it may sound, but all-in-all, this all-in-one printer is a workhorse of a printer that is a wonderful all-around printer to have in a busy household or small office that will meet the needs of everyone and satisfy any printing, copying, faxing, scanning that they may need. The quality of the scans and items printed in amazing! The speed at which documents are printed is incredible! Anyone looking for a printer that meets all of these needs should look no further. The Epson WorkForce Pro ET-8700 EcoTank All-In-One printer is a must have! This is a review for the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

When I first received and unpacked the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer, I was a little overwhelmed with the amount of packaging. There was cardboard, plastic and little strips of blue tape everywhere and the box itself was about half the size of a refrigerator box. But after all of the unpacking, unwrapping and cleanup of a small mountain of packaging-trash, setting up the printer was rather simple. I just plugged it in, turned it on and installed the ink cartridges (or bags) into each of the ink trays. Connecting to my Wi-Fi was simple with the on-screen menu and registering the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer with Google's Cloud Print Service was easy with the included instructions. After tossing in a stack of two different sizes of paper, I was quickly printing emails, websites and photos from my Chromebook and even from my phone with very little effort or setup required. I haven't even begun to explore all of the functions that this "All-in-One Printer" offers. I'm just a cell phone user and don't have a home phone line so I skipped over the fax functions completely but it looked sufficient for any small (or medium) business office environment. The scanner and copy functions are just like having your own little Xerox machine and I was really impressed with the speed at which it cranks out color copies. I am also impressed with the size and flexibility of the bypass try as it looks like you can cram virtually any size paper in there. I threw some photo paper in and was able to print some pretty nice 4X6 photos right from my phone. All-in-all it seems to be a pretty solid all-in-one printer for any home or small business environment and I'm looking forward to using it more over the next several weeks. Oh and by the way, this is a review for the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Great printer. I bought this for my office so far so good easy set up. I have another epson at home the eco tank 3700 and that was great so I bought the bigger version which did not disappoint.

This is by far, the best printer I have ever owned. It prints fast both in black and white and in color. The eco tank feature should end up being amazing....but it will take some time to actually see if it lasts a year as Epson suggests. Large paper trey as well as an additional rear trey. Large lcd screen for all tasks. I absolutely love this printer. The only negative so far is that it is a little loud when printing, Not really that big of a deal though. 5 stars from my family and me!

We have a smaller model than this one and loved it, but we upgrade to this one for speed and it is worth it. The thing spits out full color pages so much faster and instead of the refillable tanks, it has ink bags that are big. All in all, we are super happy with both Eco Tank printers we have purchased. For the larger price, you get speed and more prints.

Purchased this machine for its diversity. It prints, copies and scans. It's also a fax but have not used this feature. Like the fact that I can purchase large ink capacity (they are pricey but still cheaper then buying multiple small ink cartridges). Prints are very nice. Use for both home and business purposes.

This was very easy to set up! And it prints super fast!! We love it!

I recently upgraded my printer for the eco-tank, hoping to not have to replace ink cartridges so often. I loved the ease of set up and so far the printer has worked flawlessly. I am a graduate student who has to print a lot of things. I am not disappointed so far.

This is the best printer I have ever owned. And I have had several over the last 15 years for our company. The ink last forever and I print a lot and I am so happy with this purchase.

I moved away from another brand and selected Epson because of the ease of changing the ink and the quality of the printer/scanner.

I purchased this all-in-one to replace a laser printer. I have to print high volumes of paper, and laser is usually most economical, but not for color printing. I love the huge ink tanks-they really do last into the thousands of pages. The sleeper feature that I now can’t do without is the scanner that scans single OR double sided, and the seamless software that will automatically remove blank pages. This has been well worth the money so far. It is not as quick as one b&w laser printer I have, but is faster than the one I replaced with this...and it is COLOR.

This provides an excellent price per page and good print quality. This is a good office printer for moderate volume situations.

This is a professional grade printer with every option you can think of. We look forward to using it for years.

Love this printer I am having way better success with this than I ever did with my Hp

Great all in one printer... Epson delivers excellent Products !

The printer was easy to set up. The quality of printed and copied documents is excellent.
