Customer Ratings & Reviews

Built well, prints fast, and the ink system is very well thought out. What more could you want?

Well designed professional quality and a two year ink supply make this printer a prince.

I LIKE THE PRINTER. HOWEVER, THE INK WAS NOT PRINTING EVENLY ON COLOR LOGOS ETC. SO I CLEANED THE PRINT HEADS AND NOW THE COLOR LOGOS LOOK GREAT!

Epson products are the best. We have wasted so much money on several others and glad we finally found stuff that works and has affordable ink. We call this printer THE BEAST. It’s AMAZING

You can get this printer cheaper. Regardless, it is TOTALLY worth full price. We went wireless route. Little bit of work; but, not impossible by any means. This isn't your run of the mill cheapo. LOVE THIS THING!!!

We needed a printer that we could AirPrint from our iPhones. We previously had a brother which was a nightmare! Thank You Epson

This printer is fantastic. Great value when you factor in the long term cost of printing because the toner lasts so long. Such a great value that I bought 3 for my business.

The Epson - WorkForce Pro EcoTank ET-8700 Wireless Printer. It's a Great All-in-One Inkjet Printer. Had it short time.

This printer is the best when it comes to saving money on ink for high yield printers

This machine is a powerhouse for any home business.

The Epson Workforce Pro ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer will certainly meet the needs for most high-print demand small home office or business users if they can get over the ridiculously long name and come to terms with the hefty price tag.. Let’s touch on the price to start with, $999.99, is what you will find most places. This comes with an extremely capable printer\fax\copier\scanner, with two years of ink supplies included in the box. Epson defines two years as up to 16,000 pages black/11,000 pages color according to an ISO standard, which will probably stretch for most home users to three years depending on volume. The warranty covers a year or 150,000 sheets (whichever comes first) and you can double this by registering the printer with Epson, so two years or 150,000 pages. Pretty stout in my opinion. Now the setup of the printer for the most part was simple. You do have to pull off about a mile of tape holding all the various doors, tanks, trays, and covers in place, but the packaging more than sufficient to keep the printer unmarked through shipping. The ink packs were honestly the best improvement over the previous models of Eco-Tanks, because there is no more mess in trying to fill the tanks and subsequently spilling the ink all over the printer, desk, carpet, and then getting kick out of the house by your wife to live as a bump on the street with your printer. There are four trays (black, cyan, magenta and yellow), and the pouches have keyed mounts and slide perfectly into the tray. You get a nice lock engagement knowing the trays are seated putting one’s mind at easy about spilling ink. Once a new ink pack is installed the charging (it sounds like Iron Man’s Repulsors) is about 5 minutes. On to the question on everyone’s mind, “How is the printing?” Well let’s just say it is faster than most any other liquid based printers I have tested. On average it was about 20-22 pages of B&W text per minute single sided and 14-16 pages duplexed. The color\photo printing was obviously slower, 18 pages a minute or so single sided, and I didn’t duplex the photos. Also, I loaded some 5x7 glossy in the rear tray, which turned out just Okay. The colors ran a little more than I would have liked, not as crisp as expected. Speaking of the rear tray it can hold up to 80 sheets of regular paper, slightly lower for the premium stock, card stock, and gloss. Also, it will accommodate other media including photo paper, envelopes, card stock, etc. Personally, I found this feature of keeping an alternate set of stock loaded in the printer always, for me it is the 5x7 glossy, rather than having to remove/adjust/reload the main feed tray. Let’s move to the one or two things I honestly didn’t like or had problems with. The packaging was pretty excessive, like miles of tape holding everything in place. This might have been necessary, but that was the longest part of the unpackaging. The next problem is how the ink is packaged. You have a box and in the box, you have a bag and a warning pamphlet. In the bag, you have another bag. In THAT bag you have the ink pouch and an instruction pamphlet. This is for EACH color so 14 times the waste. Finally, the biggest problem was setting up the Google Cloud Print. You have an option on the touchscreen to register, however when you set that it gives you an error... So, you try and set it up with the software (which is awful) loaded on your Windows PC, however it still gives you an error. You must go to the Web Interface of the printer to register the Google Cloud Print. However, once it is registered I have had no problems using it. Overall, I find this printer to be a true workhorse of a printer, with all these glorious features that for the most part just work without any prompting or setup. In my defense I did not test the faxing capabilities since I do not have a landline anymore. I would give this a 4 out of 5 due to a few little hiccups, but would recommend this to a friend or business needing a printer of this quality and capacity.

My family and I have been using this printer for about a week now and we LOVE IT! I downloaded the Epson iPrint app for android and printed everything from homework for my daughter to pictures that I put into frames and we could not be happier. The quality of the photo prints was amazing; as we used a premium photo paper and adjusted the quality of the printer inside of the mobile app. For the homework and math reviews that I printed using regular printer paper, there was no smudging or smearing. Additionally, the setup was extremely simple. The printer is touchscreen and when establishing your WiFi connection it even has a keyboard on the screen, thus making it that much easier to enter in your password. After setting up dozens of printers in my office over the years, I have grown accustomed to pressing the number keys multiple times to enter in each letter and the of course backspacing because I hit the number button too many times, or conversely not enough. It's crazy that this is the first printer that I have used to actually utilize a keyboard on the touchscreen itself to expedite the process. The ink packages are a wonderful addition too. They might be in a little bit larger packaging, but they offer a bag type system instead of the tiny little cartridges or the horrible toner cartridges that leak powder all over the place during installation and removal, thus allowing for more ink and less overall waste. This also allows you to print a lot more in between cartridge changes. We print a lot at my house and have gone through 2 reams of paper in a week, as my 7 year old prints whatever strikes her fancy; especially pictures to color and proudly display in her room and my fridge, and my bedroom, and my mother-in-law's room, and near the dog bowls, and the doors in my home...well you get the picture. Lastly, the scan quality is extremely good as well. After scanning in a few pictures and a lot of documents, I'm very pleased with its overall functionality, intuitiveness, and cost effective nature. I would be remiss if I did not tell you about it's faults though. It is OVER-PACKAGED. I pulled off and balled up about a 3" diameter of tape strips, as ever component is taped up to secure during transit. And...I think that is about it. Overall, you will be extremely happy with this printer; whether you are a small business owner or a busy family like me.

Nice printer. Had an older model and replaced it with this.

This is a review for the Epson ET-8700 that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. Overview: This printer is the best all around printer that I've owned. It is big, but it has fast print speed, quality scanning, super easy ink (since you don't have to replace it), and was much easier to set up than others that I have tried. This is a big plus because I often find hooking up a printer to wifi and keeping it in the system is a pain, Also, the printer can print from my cell phone. Nice! Pros - Easy Set Up (even the set up of the big ink wells for eco tank was easy and now I don't have to change Cyan all the time!) - Easy print from phone (I've had this in the past and it was inconsistent. This seems much better. Maybe its newer and they've figured that stuff out) - Fast Printing - No replacing ink!!! - Easy and quality scanning - Holds lots of paper - Strong photo quality Cons - Its pretty big (but it does hold a lot of paper. This a good all around printer for a small biz etc). - Its still louder than laser.

The size of this printer and the features had me a little apprehensive about set up. I took it out of the box, removed the wrapping, and followed the instructions. I was set up and running in a matter of minutes. I really like the design of the ink pouches. No ink to spill or refill. The pouches are large and I expect the would last a long time. The printer even came with extra pouches. The print quality is amazing. The scanner is just as amazing. The printer operates fast! I love the touchscreen. The printer is so easy to use. The controls are intuitive and easy to navigate. Overall I would say the printer is a great value.

Having tried or used numerous printers throughout my life I have never come across a printer quite like the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One printer. This machine is what I have always wanted in a printer. Upon immediately taking everything out of the box it is clear that Epson took the time and care to properly package and label everything. I put it on the desk in my office and the sleek black makes it aesthetically pleasing. It was not overly heavy to lift into place. The weight of the individual pieces that can be removed are perfect in displaying their durability as is the total weight. Epson did not use cheap or flimsy materials in their craftsmanship. Petty impressive...and I had not even set it up and tried it out yet. Included is the instructions, CD for setup, power cable, a couple addendum sheets (One referencing the correct ink name and another showing what to do with the plastic ink cartridge protectors) 2 High Capacity Black Cartridge Packs and 3 High Capacity Cartridge Packs each of Cyan, Magenta & Yellow Whoa! You will be able to do a ton of printing right out the box. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow along with. Installing the software is a cinch. I had one momentary lapse when I was at the step dealing with loading the cartridges. However, one of the addendum sheets explains that...just toss them out. The ink cartridge packs are very nice looking and individually sealed and boxed. It just took me a few shakes to prime the pack and they easily snap into place in the plastic case that pops out of the printer. Push the plastic case back in and repeat the process with the other colors. Piece of cake. Just follow the listed instructions. The printer then primes the inks and gets it ready to roll. I followed the onscreen prompts to get the wireless setup. I have never used an automatic wireless setup on a printer, but I tried it this time. It worked the first time. Most printers I have worked with are not this easy to setup. It is a fight to get them connected and printing. This Epson printer is incredible! With the ease of this success, I decided to try setting up a feature that I have even been less successful at setting up in the past. Mobile (Cellphone / Tablet) printing. I downloaded two apps. The first was Epson Print Enabler and the Second was Epson iPrint. Epson iPrint is the actual app that is used for printing. Super Easy! It instantly found my printer and I finished up doing the general setup options. Being I just finished setting up the app, I figured I would test that out to print first. I chose a high quality photo, selected the appropriate size and loaded photo paper in the rear feed. Clicked print and it sent the info to the printer and printed an amazing looking picture in no time. I tested a few documents and some more pictures and it worked perfect each time. As I have continued to use mobile printing, it has worked 100% of the time and the prints look fantastic. Yay! I can finally print from my phone and tablet. As for my computer, it achieved the same level of success each and every time. As I continued to use this in my office, it was also flawless each time. From printing B&W and color manuals, making copies, printing pictures, etc. it worked amazingly well. The speed of the printing was very good and all the prints were absolutely gorgeous. The ink is ultra-bright and professional presentation quality. The machine holds a lot of paper, which will cut down on having to continually reload it. All in all, I absolutely recommend this printer for all your business/personal needs. It will not disappoint in quality, speed, ease of use, etc...put it this way, this is the printer of the future and it has made my life so much easier. If I had to nitpick anything about this printer it would be that it could be a little quieter. However, I really do not notice it most of the time at my workplace with the music, talking and general background noise.

Installation was incredibly easy. I pulled off a TON of blue shipping tape and plugged it in and that's pretty much it. The only minor hiccup was that the tape holding in the ink trays was a bit tricky but pulling out the paper tray helped. I kept thinking that it would have to be harder but no, it was pretty much as simple as plugging it in. Initial thoughts on running the first test. This is the fastest, best printer I've ever owned. I decided to print a full page photo on the first print and it came out looking great in about three seconds. I was throwing a party I expected children at so I printed a few coloring sheets and then ran them through the copier, all very fast and easy. I mostly ran tests on photos/scanning or on simple document printing. For the scanner I both used the built in Epson utility and tried scanning direct to a usb drive plugged into the printer. They both worked well though it was faster/easier to use the scanning software. Sometimes I run a Linux desktop, and that's when I'd used the usb drive. For the standard document printing I've had to do so far, it's mostly just black and white or grey scale. It's almost, but not quite as good as the laser printer I have but I've also been using eco mode too. It remains fast. A double sided 30 page document was done in just under 90 seconds. My wife was a kindergarten teacher and has spent a number of years in grad school. Due to both of those I've purchased many printers trying to find one that just works well, fast and will get the job done. I've bought black and white laser, color laser, a number of ink jets. I've tried printers from $80 on sale up to $400 models and I've had problems with all of them over time. So far this printer has been the best of the batch. Pros: - Very fast. - Photos printed with crisp detail and almost right up to the edge of the paper. - Scanning software worked well and easily in Windows Cons: - Slightly loud when running - Blue standby light was fairly bright - Pretty expensive up front (though likely not as much as other printers over time) 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.

I personally own 3 Franchises and we do a lot of printing and I mean a lot!! Problem is most of the standard printers I would get would be slow, and I would burn through ink which gets expensive. So I got this Epson ET-8700 to try. This printer is an absolute beast of a printer. The size is great considering what It has to offer and for being a business class printer. Setup was an absolute snap and I was out of the box, setup, Wi-Fi configured and paper and ink loaded all under 15 minutes. The printer can hold over 250 sheets of paper and now lets talk about the best part the ink!! These printers can save you a ton of money on ink costs against standard printers. Inside the box its comes with 2 years of ink…let me say that again 2 years of ink which is amazing. According to the box that can equate to almost 16,000 pages to print. This was a huge selling point for me as we print multiple times a day. The Epson ET-8700 is fast as well and I was blown away at how quick it prints out the pages. The prints are clear, and the color is vivid. I setup the printer to work locally, and configured by wi-fi which is great for us when printing from other computers in the office, cell phones, iPad, or tablets. Also as a crystal clear 4.3 inch touch screen which helps make it easy to select what you want to do. This Epson ET-8700 is also great at scans and documents feed through the feeder. I have tried a lot of printers over my time but this Epson ET-8700 wins hands down its by far the best printer I have owned. Its well worth the investment especially for a business that does lots of printing and wants to save on ink costs!! Your investment will go far with this printer. I am a firm believer in you get what you paid for , and this printer is no exception. “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.”

I am a big fan of Epson printers and I was looking to replace/upgrade my existing Epson WF-2760 for my home office, and the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer is the ideal home office machine. As far as the machine itself, I am not going to lie, it is BIG. For me, I don’t have a true dedicated home office and it was too big to put on my desk so it sits on the floor next to my desk. It’s not a big deal and the fact that the touch screen flips up makes it easy to operate the controls without having to get on your hands and knees. Also, the features that come with the bigger size more than compensate for it. Set up was extremely easy. I would say that it took about 40 minutes with 30 of it spend unboxing, removing all the packaging and disposing of the trash. The actual installation itself probably took about 7-10 minutes max. The directions were extremely easy to follow and I was able to set it up wirelessly without having to use the included cd. The main selling point for me is the 2 year supply of ink that it comes with. With my old Epson I was constantly having to change the inks which was extremely expensive and I always needed to have extra ink on hand just in case. With the two year supply of ink, the printer virtually pays for itself in ink savings alone. I also love the high capacity paper tray and the ability to print 2 sided documents. The printer is extremely quiet and very fast. The output is very high quality. Overall, I highly recommend the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer as a home office workhorse. As a high volume document printer, this fits all my needs! 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.

Epson's WorkForce Pro ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Supertank Printer is a top-of-the-line machine in a series of small business printers designed to give laser printers a serious run for their money. I have used laser printers for years but this is my replacement for every office now! All of the stand-alone operations on this beast are handled through the 4.3-inch color touch screen. The menus are easy to navigate and intuitive. There is also numeric keypad, which is handy for stand-alone faxing. The ET-8700 prints sharp text on plain paper, practically laser quality. Text looked noticeably crisp, sleek and dark, on a par with what I'd expect from a quality laser printer. Graphics also printed very attractively on Epson's printer, with sharp details, accurate colors and nice mid-tone gradations. Glossy photos printed onto glossy photo paper looked very detailed, and colors were pleasantly saturated. All-in-all this office powerhouse is a joy to use, a reliable companion, and with it's ink system and multiple paper trays, its super easy to maintain. 2 thumbs up from me!
