Epson EcoTank ET-3850 Wireless Color All-in-One Supertank Printer

My husband bought this printer to replace on that stopped working after so many years although it took a bit to set it up, love how quiet it is, how easy our devices can connect and the best part..it’s completely wireless! The design and ink tank is supposed to save money…so time will tell. It’s a little bigger than our old printer, but still compact. I love how the tray is automatically comes out when printing and then can hide away when not being used at the touch of a button. I think it’s a good investment

Coming from a fussy cartridge printer that was almost never happy with it's ink levels; always demanding new cartridges and refusing to print black and white because I was "low on Cyan". So I open the box and I'm immediately met with what I can only describe as LAUGHABLE amounts of ink! And it's ALL MINE meaning I'm not going to be throwing half of it away in the form of purportedly "empty(tm)" cartridges. Boy oh Boy! Well, setup went fine even though I have odd preferences (changing names, wired only, manual IP, etc...). It was as flexible as I needed it to be. The control panel isn't touch screen so it's a bit fussy for this amount of input but I knew that going in. Not much of an issue day-to-day. Print quality seems fine; I'm not an artist or photographer. I love that the paper tray holds 250 sheets. Printing and scanning working fine from our Macs and airprint working fine from mobile devices without needing any downloads. By which I mean to say in my opinion don't install the Epson software if it's not needed -- leave well enough alone. Glad that it doesn't use heated printheads (it was the heat that killed our old Canon). My only complaint so far is the power button which "breathes" (brightens and dims) continuously when on standby and the brightness cannot be adjusted. Well a bit of blue tape will take care of that I guess. Happy printing!

I bought this because in the past Epson provided phenomenal customer support and my last Epson lasted for many years without problem (although the way it died was annoying: one day it reported it could not read an ink cartridge, without specifying which cartridge - so I replaced each in order of 1st the cartridge I'd just replaced, then by low level... When all were replaced (costing me the whole box of all colors), it still wouldn't "read" an ink cartridge). I bought this because of the idea of the lower ink cost, bought this one on Amazon because our local (remote town) Walmart had no Epson printer with the automatic page feeder that I wanted for scanning. Set up was a pain with their automated set up not being user friendly. Unfortunately, the page feed did not work for more than 1 page when I tested it, but it was the middle of my business's busy season and I forgot to follow up and the warranty is quite short. Months later, I tried the feed again and now it won't even run 1 page, but keeps reporting "paper jam" when there is no paper to be found since it's never been used beyond that 1st test when the paper remained intact. I just wasted over 2 hrs, having to download Epson onto my computer again to make the scan work. SLOWEST PRINTER EVER EXPERIENCED. SCANNING IS EVEN SLOWER, especially when having to lay each page on the bed, then cover (otherwise you get dark edges on the saved scan image), then lift cover to start over with 2nd page - while having a 50 pg document to scan. I opted to instead eat up memory on my phone to more quickly use TurboScan app. EPSON HAS BECOME A SOURCE OF INSANITY AND WASTE OF MONEY & PRECIOUS TIME.

Here's the good: I've used one of these for years and was very happy with it -- until a massive power surge (courtesy of my electric company) fritzed out the wireless capabilities. Epson's ink tank design is a massive step up in cost and convenience (less storage space, easier to refill) compared to traditional inkjet cartridges. The savings are tangible. The bad: it took me 2.5 hours to install. I had issues with bad drivers and a firmware update that would crash. I placed two support calls to Epson -- one of which was worthwhile (unfortunately it was the second one). I've been using printers since the Xerox 630 Diablos in the mid 80's; this the most cumbersome installation procedure I have ever used. What should take a few minutes required support calls, poring over largely useless documentation (either not simple enough, or too simple), and countless false starts. Once it works, it works flawlessly. (But I don't remember my first machine being this hard to install.) I'd give it 2-3 stars if it not for my previous positive experience.

Ok we hit the jackpot with this printer! We are homeschool and an affordable but quality printer was a MUST. I researched for days before finding and deciding in the Epson printer! This comes highly recommend and I’m hear to confirm is is amazing! The print quality is flawless and beautiful with crisp black and vibrant colors. The ink was so easy to fill and when I tell you it last foreverrrr, I’ve printed well over 2000 pages for homeschool and it’s like the ink hasn’t moved. So easy to set up with the directions and the Epson phone app, and connected to my WiFi effortlessly. If you need a printer run and buy this NOW! Did I mention it’s a copy machine also, and you can do double sided printing(no not all printers are created equal. This is a printer you will not regret.

Purchased this Epson printer a year ago and the ink levels are displaying at the half way mark. did not add one drop of ink in over a year. I'm a home casual user that copies documents and prints from the internet. It is not a quality photo printer, save that for Walmart. I'm amazed how little ink i have used. The other printer company ( I will only use the first letters...HP) would have soaked me for at least three sets of ink for one year. Only whished they had a touch screen for commands, but not a deal breaker.

I received this Epson EcoTank ET-3850 printer in excellent shape and in record time. This one was purchased for my church. I already had the same model at home and have been quite pleased with it. This purchase was no different. I like not having to purchase expensive ink cartridges frequently. This printer also does two-sided printing which saves on paper. The print quality is pretty good too. There is a document feeder in the top, And the shipper included two extra bottles of the black ink! I did not get any extra ink when I purchased the one for my home from a local store. We are really enjoying this printer! So, great product, fast shipping, great service. Thank you so much!

Ink: Bought this in December 2023. It is now almost August 2024. Ink is not even halfway gone. And it is the ink that comes in the box. Paper tray: I bought this one for the paper tray. It is right under where the printed paper comes out. It allows for much more paper and is way more sturdier than the cheaper models. Set-up process: Easy. Not a lot of trouble like other brands. Connects through wifi Printing: Make sure to calibrate it right. Otherwise prints fast and good. Copying papers: easy to copy paper. Love that. Scanning: If you wanna scan items to your computer buy the cord for it. It’s a normal printer USB cable. Otherwise the process is time consuming. The screen: easy screen to read. Not to hard to understand. Love it. It ain’t trying to be fancy like other brands. Updating: Easy. Takes a little time. But not many updates. I maybe have had 1 or 2 updates within like 9 months.

À date j’adore , compact, facile a comprendre, facile a connecter avec nos tablette, iPad et cellulaire. Remplissage de l’encre facile aussi . Très bon achat

ME GUSTO, PERO ES LENTA PARA IMPRIMIR Y SE TARDA AUN MAS CUANDO ES A DOBLE CARA.

An excellent product has all the features at a reasonable cost if you're not looking for a heavy duty office machine this is a perfect home use with fax capabilities. Two thumbs up for this product.
