I find the screen should be on top or slanted. I have to bend every time I want to touch screen. Otherwise I don’t see the screen easily. simple to install and very happy with printing.Edit: I found out that you can slant the screen out, game changer…..LOVE IT

Yes. This printer really does it. The principle of refillable tanks is great. Ink lasts a long time. It’s quite responsive and quick. Print quality is ok to good, but not ultimate high end. Very good value to price, compact, and loads lots of paper.

Bought into the whole tank idea. Donât have enough experience to comment on longevity of ink. B&W Printing is OK. Once setup the wireless works well. My only real issue is the touchscreen. Itâs on the front of the printer and depending on where you have your printer situated, hard to read. I have to bend down to read it. Iâd much rather have a screen on the top of a printer.

The printer was very easy to set up and EPSON provides excellent technical support.The printer is used mostly for business-related work.

I bought the Epson Ecotank printer because of how much money I was spending on my HP Envy6000 inkjet printer.It was just too expensive to print posters and pictures on the inkjet. The Epson is much cheaper to print posters and pictures and I think the quality is just as good as the inkjet.

Awesome!
I’ve been needing a good printer for quite a while. It was time, with all the kiddos printing needs.This was an awesome price, so I couldn’t pass it up. Setup was soooo easy! I was done within 10 minutes! Hooked up to the wifi with no issues, within minutes. Alot more quiet and faster than my old printer. Filling the ink was so easy, and no mess! One of the selling points on this printer is the low cost of replacement ink bottles, so I’ll have to see how long they last.Just hooked it up tonight, so I’ll update on quality later. So far, it’s a win win.

Save on ink
Prints well. Easy to set up. I didn’t pay attention when purchased it as you can only print or scan one page at a time. Not a fax machine. My fault. Was in a hurry to replace my broken ink eating HP printer. I will buy a epson though, that does what I need it to do.

Save Money $$$ on Ink
I was interested in this printer, after seeing the commercial on TV. My current home office printer is the HP7210, multifunction color; print/scan/fax. Like most who have printers that take ink cartridges, this was getting quite expensive. I would purchase 3 cartridges a year, 2 black, one color, over $180! I said enough is enough. My HP7210x was over 10 years old. The cost of the Epson made the decision easy. I also researched the cost of additional ink, a no brainer for me to continue to purchase this printer.After research I purchased the ET-3830, I just needed printing and scanning. After unboxing, I was surprised how much lighter in weight this printer is compared to my older printer. I like the bright LCD panel with easy access to all the printersâ functions. For my installation, it is hardwired to my computer, I did not install WIFI/Network features, so I cannot comment on connectively. Setup is a breeze. The color ink bottles are fool proof, as each nozzle only fits into the corresponding color well. After ink is loaded, it takes about 10 minutes for the printer to complete setup. I do want to point out while the advertisement clearly shows each color in the wells, in actual the wells are not illuminated however you can clearly see level and a simple letter above each well indicates content. The main control panel can be tilted to any angle to make use that much easier. Lastly note the LCD panel is not a touch screen, not an issue for me.The Epson printer comes with all the drivers and applications to make using the printer simpleSo far, my printing experience has been great, output is crisp, clear and quick. Scanning is simple as well. I do like the smaller footprint of this smart printer. Ink is doing well also.I will point out, that turning the printer off, always must be depressing the on/off button, then responding to âturn offâ printer on the LCD display. I found out the hard way when I turned off from my master surge strip, then at next use, printer when through a full recycle mode. So a simple step to remember!This is a great printer, recommended and do look forward to big savings on ink!!

An Impressive Printer
Very impressed with this little printer. Has been about 10 years since I purchased an ink jet printer – previous units I owned were great for the first couple times use them but after that the ink cartridges would dry out and was simply a pain to use and cost $150 to buy new cartridges. This little Epson am impressed with the ‘Best Quality’ settings. The ‘Normal’ setting I don’t really use for daily printing, I have an ancient LaserJet for that. Love the eco tank feature — to be able to fill up the entire printer for $40, what??Couple of observations to keep in mind: First, when you load up the ink for the first time it uses about 1/4 of level in the tank…was surprised it loaded up that much into the print heads. Second, I use a Mac and I recommend spending a couple dollars to by yourself a true Printer >> USB cable. You can plug and print this unit without doing so but the software install was just the most basic of print drivers / utility. When connected via Printer >> USB was able to instal the entire Epson controls. –This has happened when installed printers in the past…could be me or my Mac set-up but is bit frustrating is not exactly plug and play for the full suite of the software. Once have the correct driver / utility installed can switch to Wi-Fi or LAN connection and don’t need to use the USB cable.I bought this unit because of the LAN capability. I print high-res photos which are huge files so wanted the fastest connection. And, speaking of printing photos….I just printed 3 photographs using Epson’s Ultra Premium Glossy paper and Oh My Word, this is the closest thing I have seen to a lab print coming off a small ink-jet printer in a long time. No joke. Do not be afraid of using the high gloss paper — the gloss coating allows the ink to sit on top of the coating and not soak into the paper, so, your whites are whiter and overall range is improved. You probably frame the print under glass so the gloss will get dulled down anyways.As far as non-photo printing…I ran 300 black image only (no color ink) letters on my preprinted letterhead. Fantastic quality — I used the ‘Better’ quality setting so it took about 3 hours to print 300 single sided sheets, but, the results were much nicer than using ‘Normal’ setting. The edges of the type were crisp, the black ink was a bit more black. The time to print is no biggie for me, just set it and let it run. Also, I printed a set of 250 business cards on a matte uncoated card stock. Again used the ‘Best’ setting, print time was slow but quality was on point. My BC’s are 2-sided. I did NOT use the auto duplex feature, I simply printed the fronts then the backs because the fronts are black ink only and then I use a bit of color on the backer design. Why I bring this up—I set the 8.5 x 11″ sheet to print 12-up business cards. When cutting the cards down, this little printer was accurate within about 1/8″ at the worst, had a little bit of play but dahang, that is pretty tight for a little printer like this.For the price this is a great little printer.My biggest question is what will happen when I don’t use it for a week, two weeks, right? Will the ink dry up? Will it get crusty? Am guessing Epson has finally worked some those issues out but will see. Yes, I recommend this printer. If do not want the LAN connection there is a version (I forget the number) of this which is maybe $50 less cost??Take a look at the photos I posted — these photos of this guitar are roughly 8.5″ wide x 6″ tall on 8.5 x 11 paper. I think they look great!!

Easy to set up with my IPad and IPhones. Instructions and illustrations were clear and concise.
I originally bought an HP Injet printer, but I spent so much time (6+ hours) on the phone with HP to get it set up. I thought I was in business. Little did I know the Tricolor cartridge hardware would fail in three days. Made another call and spent another 2 hours helping them diagnose the problem. They finally agreed to sending out a new cartridge, like I originally asked. They said I could continue to use the printer, if I selected black instead of color. Well, less than a week later the black failed. The next service rep said I printed too much! I told her that her colleagues did all the remote printing when they were first setting up the printer. It didnât make me happy! Right then and there, I told her I would be sending back the printer and also the new HP computer, which was still in route to my house.I selected the EPSON ET 3830 with the ink tanks. NO MORE CARTRIDGES! Set it up with my IPAD with NO PROBLEMS. Didnât have to call anyone. It worked perfectly the first time. Print quality is very good, so I am a satisfied camper.
