EpsonEcoTank ET-2850 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scan, Copy and Auto 2-Sided Printing - White, Medium

Love this printer. Couldn't be happier with it's easy of setup, ease of use and the ecotank system is amazing after using cartridges for years.So I'll start with setup, I wasn't happy to see that the basic setup uses Epson's fluky and antiquated feeling app, but at least with this setup, everything worked out alright. It takes about 15 minutes or so total to get all the tape off, plug it in, fill the inks and get the printer connected. All of which was nice.Speaking of filling the tanks, the ecotank system is amazing. This printer has an enlarged black tank and so comes with a much larger black fill cartridge. It says it's good for over a thousand pages, which is fine with me, but filling was so easy. Each of the refill tanks has a special nozzle so it will only work on the correct color and you can see what level the tank is at with just a quick glance. You can't overfill the tanks because they shut off when full, and ther's also no chance of leakage since the refill tanks won't dispense unless slotted all the way down onto the refill nozzle. Where has this system been my whole life? I looked up costs for refills and they seem reasonable, especially when compared to all the proprietary cartridges most manufacturers use. Five stars just for the ecotank system alone.Connecting to my home wifi was a bit wonky with the app but it worked on the second try, and thankfully this printer is AirPrint compatible so I was able to print straight from my iPhone and iPad without any issues. A quick check of my laptop and desktop and they both detected this printer without issue and soon I was printing off some needed tax documents. Print clarity was fine, the blacks in particular are nice and dark which is most of what I need anyway. After printing about 20 pages I checked the tank and couldn't see that the ink levels had dropped that much if at all, so I'm pretty excited about how useful this printer will be in the future.Overall, super happy with this printer. If you're tired of dealing with cartridges, give this a shot.

I like this printer. It is easy to use and easy to load different size papers, print both sides, etc. Print quality is great and I like the ink reservoirs. My problem is that for some reason it loses its wireless connection frequently and I get a message that my printer is offline. The solution is to set the printer as default in Windows 11. It would have been nice if the install process had you set the printer as default. Even though I only have one printer connected, because I have so many wireless devices on this network the printer lost its connection till I made it the default.

Printer works just fine, fast, quiet, easy to put together and lots of features. Set up was time consuming with having to download software and firmware via instructions on my mobile phone.

We were so tired of the ridiculous price of ink cartridges for our previous printer, and wanted to switch to a tank printer. But we don't print a ton, nor do we print photos. We just needed a basic printer for everyday use. And so far we've been quite satisfied with this one.The colors are just a little dull, so I don't know that this is the printer for someone who will print a lot photos. And because I have it set to Best Quality, it's not as fast as some may want. I haven't tried it at Normal, but I suspect it'll still be a fair bit slower than higher end printers. The touch screen is pretty small, but works fine. We actually only use it to make copies. For everything else, we just use the computer or the phone app, which so far seems to work okay.And the ink usage? As advertised. Loading the ink tanks was simple, and you CAN'T put the ink in the wrong ones, which is nice. I've probably run a hundred or so pages so far, most with full page color pictures, and I can't see that the ink level has even budged on the tanks. This thing is going to print A LOT of pages. And when it does come time to buy more ink (probably sometime in late 2025), it'll still be cheaper than cartridges are. I've seen people online say an ink tank isn't for someone who doesn't print a lot because it will clog the print heads. I'm hoping to avoid that issue but just regularly printing SOMETHING. I clearly won't have to worry about wasting ink.My only disappointment with the purchase wasn't with the printer, but with Amazon. I ordered the printer in white, but received black. But the color of the printer wasn't a deal breaker, and once we had it in the house, we didn't feel like jumping through the hoops of trying to exchange it.So for us, four stars. It's not perfect at anything, but it's pretty solid at most things. And we won't have to put another penny into our printer for at least a year and a half.UPDATE - 6/17/24Three months since my original review. Something unexpected has happened. Apparently freed from the burden of paying for ink, we've gone a little crazy printing things. I'd estimate we've printed maybe another 400 pages over the past three months. All full page and color. All at highest quality setting. And I STILL can't tell that the ink level has budged from the initial fill. This leaves me with two conclusions:1- Holy cow, this thing's going to print a LOT of pages at a tiny cost.2- Holy cow, ink cartridges are a scam. If you're still using a cartridge printer, get out now. Tank printers may cost a little more up front, but you'll make that money back very quickly.One other thing: I've seen several reviews that comment that the printer seems to lose the wifi connection. Ours hasn't lost it even once so far. In fairness, it IS sitting approximately 24" from my router. But still, so far, so good.I'm going to leave my ranking at four stars, because it's not 'perfect' quality. But I'd probably go to 4½ stars if it were an option.
