Epson EcoTank ET-4800 Wireless All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier, Fax, ADF and Ethernet. Full 1-Year Limited Warranty (Renewed Premium)

Note: This printer came with the oddest packing materials I've ever seen in my life. And you do NOT want to step on one of these late at night! It makes a LEGO brick underfoot feel good! The Epson EcoTank ET-4800 is a breath of fresh air in a world dominated by frustrating ink subscriptions and overpriced cartridges. Instead of forcing you into a monthly payment plan just to keep your printer functional, Epson gives you a massive ink reservoir that you refill yourself—no hidden fees, no sneaky auto-renewals, just straightforward printing. Performance & Print Quality For a home or small office printer, the ET-4800 delivers solid performance. The print quality is crisp for documents, and while it’s not a professional photo printer, it handles color prints well enough for most everyday needs. The scanner works smoothly, and the automatic document feeder (ADF) is a nice bonus for scanning multiple pages. Ease of Use & Setup Setting up the printer is refreshingly simple. Filling the ink tanks is surprisingly mess-free, and once you’re up and running, you won’t be constantly swapping out tiny, overpriced cartridges. Epson includes a generous amount of ink in the box—enough to last thousands of pages—which is a game-changer compared to traditional inkjet models. Cost Efficiency This is where the ET-4800 really shines. The upfront cost is higher than a standard inkjet, but you quickly recoup that with the absurdly low cost per page. The ink bottles are much cheaper in the long run than cartridges, and you’re not held hostage by a subscription service just to keep printing. Potential Drawbacks It’s not the fastest printer on the market, and the lack of duplex printing (automatic double-sided) is a small inconvenience. The display screen is tiny and not touchscreen, so navigating menus can feel a bit outdated. But if you’re prioritizing cost savings and reliability over bells and whistles, these are minor trade-offs. Final Verdict The Epson EcoTank ET-4800 is a fantastic option for anyone tired of the traditional inkjet printer racket. No subscriptions, no constant cartridge swaps—just a reliable, cost-effective printer that does what it’s supposed to do. If you print regularly and want to save money (and frustration) in the long run, this is one of the best choices out there.

I have had a lot of printers. This is my first Epson. I used to swear by HP's. It is a great little printer. I would buy one again. There is a small learning curve. It even renumbers to save energy when it has not been used in an hour and shuts off. COOL. Not having to mess with cartridges is a blessing. HOWEVER you will need to get a set of Epson ink bottles for your first fill. then refill the Epson bottles with Generic ink. Why, Because Epson made the bottles a lock and key style. I made the mistake of trying to use a hose and a funnel. It worked but was a mess. Print quality is great but not artistic quality. Epson, You have a new customer.

This was a disappointing purchase. Printer 1 - ADF would not grab the document. I could hear the gears spinning but it would not engage traction on the documents fed into it. (About 1 1/2 hr of setup time wasted, but Amazon setup a replacement to be overnighted) Printer 2 - received the next morning. Great, but still had ADF issues. With the new machine, it took the doc's, but then made extremely LOUD clicking noises when the doc was about 1/2 way thru. It was like a gear was out of alignment or something. All Amazon could do is offer a refund. Another day wasted. Epson referb's are horrible. ****** Update. **** So I decided to purchase a new Epson to see the difference because I really like the feature set. I had used Epson before, and it was a reliable product. Write out the box once I set it up and put in the ink the - document feeder worked perfectly! I was scared I was doing something wrong with the refurb, but this shows that both the refurbs were defective.

Really nice printer. Sure did get a lot of automatic updates. Easy to use with phone after you understand it. Don't really need home computer. Saves money on ink and the primary reason I bought it

I have had this printer for a while now and it has never once let me down. Its a quality printer easy to install and I love the wireless printing (who doesnt) it works and works well. its not too loud when its running its a great value for the money, the only thing I dont like is the amount of ink it holds. I was so excited to get a printer without cartridges only to be sad because you have to refill them just as often. And the refills arent like universal you have to buy the refill specific to the printer so in reality its basically the same as having cartridges.

I’ve had HP printers for the past 20 years. The latest one stopped printing this week because I wasn’t using HP inks. HP finally caught up with the work-around I used for years to get the printer to work with non-HP inks. No more HP printers for me. I don’t like being held hostage. Years ago I used an Epson printer at work. I was really impressed with the crisp printing. So I purchased this refurbished Epson. It took about two hours to get it to print; it doesn’t setup like an HP. However, I soldiered on and it is now working great. The print quality is good. It is pretty slow printing photos, and I’m not crazy about the paper loader at the back of the printer, but I’m satisfied. I hope I haven’t jinxed myself writing that!

When the next time to buy ink for my cartridge based printer came around, I weighed the options between $85 for cartridges or an additional $125 or so to get an ecotank. I mean, that’s a couple months worth of ink in the old printer. Seemed like a no brainer to me. Set up was pretty easy. It gets a little convoluted to get the right driver installed. Took a call to support. Finally did that. Then I printed the buttons I had been printing on the previous inkjet printer - an EPSON Workforce 8920. They weren’t sized properly. Too small. The ecotank printer shrank them just a bit. Checked the driver. Checked the printer profile. Called EPSON. Got OK support. Never resolved it, though. Since it doesn’t print borderless, I had to create new templates and print at 104%. Takes more paper to do that. Finally after a couple of weeks of hit and miss and frustration, I sent it back. However, if I hadn’t required accuracy, I would have kept the printer.

This Epson ET-4800 printer is so valuable because of the ink cartridges!!!! They are so great and not ROBBING me. Finally. It is so economical. That being said, the printing is good for home, light school or office review or drafts. The colors are so so. Nothing is crisp and colorful....the pictures are not some that you would print for photos. Great for teens or as stated, printing emails to read or review. It is what a 'home office' can utilize. If you want a crisp, colorful laser quality printer, an affordable option may be a professional local print shop services place. For home, this is really economical ink and printing.
