Congratulations Epson I don't hate you anymore.

I have had Epson inkjet printers for about 30 years. For my work as an artist I usually buy this size wide carriage 13x19. However I have never ever advised that anyone else I know buy a color inkjet printer unless they absolutely need one. I have two black and white laser printers that I adore because they just work, lightning fast, the toner is cheap, the print quality is excellent. My parents for instance have against my advice had a couple of color inkjets because they very occasionally want to print in color. Misery. The ink cartridges are always empty the heads are always clogged and the thing just refuses to print in black and white even though the black cartridge is full but one of the color cartridges is empty. My old Epson r2880 has eight tiny little cartridges and one or two of them are ALWAYS low or empty and they are crazy expensive. The cartridges are also chipped so that you can't use anyone else's aftermarket cartridges, and there's a whole industry dedicated to getting around these issues. In my opinion it's a terrible business model for a printer company because you make your customers hate you, go to great lengths to buy cheaper ink from other companies, and it all discourages them from using the printer and doing a lot of printing and buying your other supplies like paper.

Well I read an awful lot about these new tank style printers and how they could potentially solve most of these issues. And I have to say I think they have nailed it. This printer is an absolute joy to use and you just look for excuses to print anything. The gloss prints on Epson ultra premium paper are simply the finest gloss prints I've ever seen. The ink tanks are huge and transparent so you can tell how much ink is in them and the ink lasts a way long time and it's really not that expensive. The ink bottles are actually kind of brilliant you can't put the wrong ink in the wrong tank cuz the nozzles are different shapes and they don't drip ink at all or anything. You can top them up at any time it's beautiful. Turns out you really don't need 8 or 10 colors to print gorgeous luminous prints. I am happy to buy Epson brand ink under these conditions. I mean I could still buy a different company's ink and put it in these tanks but why would you?I've always liked Epson photo paper and use it almost exclusively. I actually tell my kids to go and use the printer all they want. My neighbors too. If there's a print you think you might like print it for goodness sake! Print it larger! Now see Epson: THAT is a business model.

I had trepidations as this is a die ink printer. Everyone says artists should "use pigment inks for archival longevity". I've decided I just don't care. Pigment inks tend to clog. They actually don't look that good on glossy paper did anyone ever tell you that? They need a special varnish coat in order for the gloss to pop. If one of these dye prints fades in 20 years you know what it's digital files, I'll just go print the darn thing again it's not that expensive on a printer like this.

I even kind of like the Epson print layout software, even though it looks like it was designed in the Windows XP era, and the scanner and it's software work quite well. I've had Epson flatbed scanners also for years and this one being built directly into the printer is just very useful. The touch screen also works well and you can quickly run off a copy which I've never really been able to do before, because I've had a separate printer and scanner and it's just too much of a pain to fire them both up and get on the computer. Also the wireless print function is really great. I can print a 4x6 from my phone in a few clicks, or a PDF from my tablet, what have you. There's even a special paper slot just to hold 4x6s in addition to other paper, gloss full sheets in the rear feed, plain paper in the bottom tray. They really have kind of thought of everything with this printer.

If I need to do some serious black and white printing of text I will still use the laser. On cheap copy paper the inkjet looks a little fuzzy and is actually not waterproof. But if I didn't have a laser I wouldn't go out and buy one because one printer is better than two. Just use inkjet plain paper and you'll be set

This is a printer I can happily recommend to basically anyone, and I have never been able to say that about a color ink jet before.

Excellent print quality, easy-to-use software, very long lasting ink

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024

Style: ET-8500Pattern Name: PrinterVerified Purchase

This review is for an Epson ET-8500 printer/scanner/copier. ET stands for Eco Tank as the printer uses tanks of ink filled by the user from bottles. The tanks last far longer than the ink cartridges we've all been using and the price per page is far less. The 8500 prints 8.5x11 and 8.5x14 as well as smaller sizes like 8x10, 5x7, 4x6 and printable CDs, DVDs and BDs. The scanner has a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi.

I bought this printer to replace an Epson RX 580 we bought in late 2006 and for which we must have spent several printer's worth of money on ink. Our primary use has been and remains printing photographs. We feel we require a six-ink printer for this task which limited our printer choices. We have never had any brand other than Epson dating back to the dot matrix printers we used with our homemade PC XT so I will be unable to compare the performance of this printer to other brands.

We were sorely tempted to buy the ET-8550 vice the 8500 for the occasional need to print 11x14s and larger as it was only an additional $50 but we simply didn't have the table space for it. The price of this printer has come down significantly from when it was first introduced, so if you're thinking you can't afford it, look again. The unpacking and setup on the 8500 were simpler and more trouble-free than other printers I've used in the recent past. The printer can be connected to your computer via a shared wireless or wired network or a primary tier USB link. You can also print from a thumb drive (USB memory stick), your camera's SD chip, wirelessly from a smart phone or tablet. Epson provides the printer with a unique email address and any images sent to that address (from anywhere on the planet) will automatically be printed by your printer. If you have a voice assistant on your home network, you can control your printer with voice commands. All in all, a very capable and well thought out device.

We were nervous about filling our ink tanks the first time. The thought of a bottle of printer ink spilling seemed an absolute nightmare. But, as might have been expected, the process was utterly fool-proof (and you're reading a top notch fool here). The tops of the ink bottles and ink tanks are keyed so you cannot put ink in the wrong tank. Ink does not come out of the bottle till it is inverted on the proper tank and flow stops when the tank becomes full. The first filling will also have to fill all the tubing and what not between the tanks and the print nozzles and so will fill the tanks slightly less full than all further bottles.

Loading paper is also painless. The printer has two cassettes: one for 8.5 x 11 and one for 5x7 or smaller. The printer can take thicker paper by two routes in the back: the rear paper feeder at the back on top, and the rear paper feed slot, in the rear. Here is my one unpleasantness concerning this printer but fortunately for you and Epson, the unpleasantness was almost entirely my fault. Either route may be used for thicker paper, such a heavyweight photo paper or thick cardstock. The Rear Paper Feeder at the top rear will still take your paper through almost 90 degrees of bend but not the hard 180 that it experiences coming from the cassettes. Paper loaded into the Rear Paper Feed Slot at the printer's rear, will traverse a completely flat path. Theoretically, you could put a sheet of thin glass through there... but please don't. I have used both with 80 lb (thick) photo paper with no problem whatsoever. The unpleasantness I mentioned was caused when I became confused as to which route was which, deciding that the feeder was the slot and the slot was the feeder. This led me to two lengthy calls to Epson tech support where two different techs spent an inordinate amount of time and effort trying to convince me I had made a mistake without insulting a sacred Epson customer by telling me I had made a mistake. When I finally came to my senses, I wrote a long and heartfelt apology to Epson Tech Support for what I had put them through. Very embarrassing.

The printers output on plain paper, card stock and three different grades of photo paper has been absolutely perfect. There will always be some difference between your screen and your printer, particularly with the printer straight out of the box and no attempt having been made to match up the two, but the prints have been more than satisfactory to this point. And I have yet to see any of my ink levels - now visible directly through graduated translucent windows on the printer's front - so much as budge. A good portent. I have looked at refill ink bottles and the cost for a full set is slightly more than a set of cartridges for my RX 580 cost but provides several times the quantity of ink. Interestingly, the colors of inks used has changed. My RX 580 used to use Cyan, Light Cyan, Magenta, Light Magenta, Yellow and Black. The ET 8500 uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Grey, Photo Black and Black. That last one is used for text and is not used for photographs. The Photo Grey and Photo Black are not used on text. I only have my eyes, but in my judgement, the prints from the ET 8500 are superior to those from the old RX 580 in accuracy, detail and color. Text documents are crisp and clear. Image quality on plain paper is more than acceptable though I understand there are other brands that do it slightly better.

If I had to do it all over, I would again buy the ET 8500. Ease-of-use, economy and beautiful output make it the ideal choice. And I will never again buy a printer that uses cartridges. Never.

Epson ET-8500 versus Canon G620

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2022

Style: ET-8500Pattern Name: PrinterVerified Purchase

I am an accomplished amateur photographer, not a professional or a techie. I take photos with an iPhone 12 and a Panasonic SLR. I do not make highly technical adjustments to the images. Both of these printers produce excellent results. I purchased them for two reasons: saving on ink, and printing photographs with accurate colors. I have used Canon Pixma printers for decades, so I first tried the G620. Although I do most of my shopping on Amazon I purchased it at Best Buy for ease of potential return. It cost $330 (rounded up by a penny).

THE CANON G620:

PRO’s:
It was easy to fill the six ink tanks. Canon cleverly designed the tops of each one so they can only be inserted into the correct tanks.
No problem connecting to my wi-fi.
Documents printed quickly and looked fine.
The first 4x6 print I did was acceptable but not as good as I had expected. I corrected this quickly per the next bullet.
By default my Windows laptop installed its own drivers for the printer. These are not as good as Canon’s. I went to the Canon website and downloaded and installed their drivers for the 6 series.
Voila, very good photos, with accurate color and sharp edges! Thanks to other Amazon reviewers for calling this to my attention.
Photos printed quickly enough.

CON’S:
The most significant one, and why I switched to the Epson, is the paper handling. There is only one input tray, at the rear of the printer, which takes all sizes and types: 8x11 plain paper, 4x6, 5x7 and 8x11 photo paper, etc. At first I didn’t think I’d mind changing the paper, but after a while I did, per next bullet.
The display on the top of the printer is small, dim and awkwardly placed. I thought I might not need to use it that much, but every time you change paper you have to.
You need to pull the output tray out manually. No big deal if you are at your desk, but if you are in another room and want to print out an item on your phone you have to go the printer. A minor inconvenience but a nettlesome one at times.

THE EPSON ET-8500:.

PRO’s:
Equally easy to connect to wi-fi.
Even easier to set up. The correct drivers were downloaded automatically.
A terrific screen on the right front of the printer. Large, bright, easy to use.
Two input trays at the front, one for 4x6 and 5x7 photo paper, the other for 8x11 paper of either type.
Another input tray at the back! I use this on the relatively few occasions I print 8x11 photos, and I keep plain paper in the front tray. This is extremely convenient.
When you send an item to the printer it wakes up even if it’s turned off. The G620 did not do that.
The output tray comes out automatically; no need to pull it.
There is a button on the screen for pushing the output tray back in and closing the front.
That bright tilt-able front screen has every setting you need and is very intuitive.
Everything I printed came out fine and quickly. The photos were equal to Canon’s in quality, plus there is an Epson app for making further adjustments to them. I downloaded it and found it easy to use.

CON’s:
The cost: $700. That’s more than double the Canon G620, which is a significant consideration.
Two others that are not significant. The photo tray can be a little tricky to pull out and a tight fit when reinserting (it goes well toward the back). This can be relieved by first pulling out the 8x11 tray underneath it, giving your fingers more room.
Not really a con but when the printer is finished the screen shows two items: a little Home icon on the left and a larger “Troubleshooting” message next to that. Some users might think that means there was a problem, but it’s just in case there was. Touch Home and you’re set, then touch the Close Tray button on the bottom right.

BOTTOM LINE:
You may be wondering, Why spend that much more? And, why not buy a Canon Ink Tank printer of equivalent cost? Re the first, for the convenience of the paper handling and ease of use of the screen. I keep printers a long time and the cost spreads out over the years, especially not needing to buy cartridges. Re the second, I did research those, but prefer the size of the Epson, which is comparable to the G620. The higher priced Canons that I looked at were bulkier.

I hope this helps others. If I omitted anything you think should be included, or if you have questions or a difference of opinion, leave a comment and I’ll respond to it.

Best printer I ever had

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2022

Style: ET-8500Pattern Name: PrinterVerified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I bought a Cricut for Christmas and needed a great 3 in 1 printer to print stickers, print docs front and back, print 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 photos, as well as scan my ultrasound photos. (I did not use this for sublimation, but hear that it can be great for that too.) This thing exceeded my expectations. I’ve been using it almost every day for 5 months and it still is almost filled completely full with ink, which I can see on the front of the machine. Setup instructions were super easy and was a pleasure to get through. Before this printer I had returned 2 other printers that disappointed me. (I ended up tossing my old one years ago because the HP printer dried up so quickly.) This printer feels like it was built to last. The doors and cassettes click into place, feeling very satisfying and never leaving me wonder if I pushed it in all the way. I’ll probably never use ink cartridges again. Eco tank is the way to go.

First of all, I had no idea when I bought it that you can scan and print photos using the app on your phone. It’s made things so much simpler to manage and edit. One thing I wish it had was color sliders to tweak the images a bit before printing.

The scan bed is AWESOME. It’s very basic with a thin plastic lid, but I’m comparing it to the scan job the scanners at Office Max did. Those were terrible, costly if you have multiple images needing scanned, and always came out blurry with noticeable glares. (The employees also wanted to argue about HIPPA with me with my own ultrasounds…) This printer’s scan does a phenomenal job. With 300 dpi it is crystal clear with no glare! And I love that it saves directly onto your phone. A USB or SD card is only optional. You can choose to scan in color, grayscale, or black and white. For ultrasounds, definitely use the grayscale.

The photo print quality is very good as well. Not sure if it’s as good as WalMart prints when it comes to color, but the quality is pretty similar. Sometimes the photos appear slightly blue, but I think it’s the photo paper I’m using. The white paper may have a slight blue hue to it. As a photographer, I’m content with saving me the trip by using this printer instead for my own personal needs.

The main con I can think of is that it does print slow if you choose higher quality prints. (May take 3 minutes to print a photo.) If you need speed, this may not be your guy. If you choose Normal quality prints it goes a lot faster, but documents appear very pixely. I had a paper jam once, but it was very quick and easy to open up the printer and pull it out.

I have yet to try printing with the cardstock paper feed in the back. I’ve been printing thin cardstock from the top feed and that seems to work out just fine.

Another con is sometimes when I’m printing from the computer I have to turn the printer off and on again because for some reason it doesn’t always get the signal to print. Not sure what is going on there, but it doesn’t happen too often.

Overall, I am still elated with my purchase 5 months later. Never had a printer that made me smile weekly before. This was worth every penny.

Cosmo Tech knowingly sold me defective printer.

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2023

Style: ET-8550Pattern Name: PrinterVerified Purchase

Pictures posted above are from my ET 8>-8550 printer and it does this every single time I print something. It’s beautiful until it gets to the bottom, then the printer starts going real fast and reprints over what is was already printed. Sometimes it likes to move the the bottom far away from the rest of the picture and sometimes it likes to just keep printing black many time over what’s printed. I cannot use it with my Cricut because it won’t print the bottom guides that Cricut needs.
This company is Cosmo Tech - please don’t buy from them! I purchased a ET-8550 printer from the in April 2023. No where on the description did it say that the printer was used (I now know that’s in the invoice). I thought I was buying it new with warranty or I NEVER would have bought it! The printer has never worked a day since I bought it. I called Epson because it said the warranty was still good - found out it was good for Cosmo Tech, but not for me because I was the 2nd user. I asked Cosmo Tech to just call and initiate the warranty since Epson has all the information needed, but they said no.
When I went to the product support page for the printer, it sends me to the Epson website and said service of printer is ‘offered by Epson’. NO IT ISN’T! Epson has never heard of the company and doesn’t do business with them.
So, now I have a $700+tax printer that is still under warranty, but nobody will help me fix this mess. My husband bought my a computer hoping that I would be able to fix it having more control of the drives - another waste of money. This damages printer has cost me $699 + $43 tax + $100 new maintenance box and Epson ink $450 new computer to see if it helps = $1300 for a printer that Epson said could not have ever worked because the damage is factory - no way to fix it.
There are plenty good, honest sellers on here, but Cosmo Tech IS NOT one of them!
Please look somewhere else.
As far as I know, all their stuff is used, so it doesn’t have a warranty (even if the product says it does). I don’t know what else to say except they are a not a good company and I don’t want them to be able to put anyone else through the hell they’ve put me through.
They had to know it was damaged and couldn’t be fixed when they sold it to me. Who does that?
I hope this information helps at least one person! Some may have had a great experience with this company and I’m very happy that was their experience, but I wouldn’t suggest taking your chances. That can be a very expensive chance you’re taking.
I have Multiple Sclerosis and am stuck in bed - all I have is my art which is what I wanted to print, but I can’t.

Scanning Function Review

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023

Style: ET-8550Pattern Name: PrinterVerified Purchase

My mother passed away this past May and I was scared of losing pictures of her to time. I purchased this all-in-one because I wanted to digitize old photos, restore them, and print my favorites. I received the printer yesterday and have only tested the scanning function, so far. I was initially concerned because I had read that there weren't drivers for Windows 11 or the newest versions of Macs, but I had read on their website that there might be some drivers that would still work.

Setting it up was relatively easy, though the "cassettes," as the trays are called, could be better labeled. It took me a while to figure out where cassette 2 was to load paper for the calibrations. Ink is super easy to fill and the calibrations weren't hard either. I used my iPhone for set up (you'll need to download the Epson Smart Panel app*) and connected my MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.4.1 to it once set up was complete. It was easy going to epson.com/support, searching for the printer, and downloading the drivers. The computer and laptop must be on the same SSID or they will not be able to communicate. (I mention this because I normally keep my laptop/phones/IoT devices on different WiFi networks.)

I started by scanning an 11x14 of my mother's senior photo. This was a little frustrating because parts of the picture would be cut off and I could see no obvious way on the scanner or my phone to adjust this. Only one device can be actively attached to the scanner at any one time, so I had to close the application in the phone completely and go back to the home screen on the scanner. Once that was done, instead of hitting scan on the scanner screen and telling it to send the image to my computer, I had to open Epson Smart Scan on the computer and I could finally adjust the settings. I set the scan size to maximum and then could also finally adjust the DPI at which it was scanning. Instead of 200 DPI (default), I set it to 2400 DPI and also did a second scan at 600 DPI for uploading to social media. The other amazing feature is color restoration. I had been watching tutorials for Adobe Lightroom so I would be able to restore all these photos and Smart Scan does this natively (if enabled). The two photos of my mother attached show the before and after enabling the color restoration feature. One thing I have noticed is that occasionally it seems to forget color restoration is enabled. After messing around with it and closing and opening the software repeatedly, I hit "Preview" before scan and it fixed my issue. Using Preview has also fixed an issue where rarely it would scan about only an inch of whatever photo was inside.

I have a ton of photos, so it's been a bit slow going, but I love how quality the scans are and the time that's been saved on the back end with the color restoration feature. For someone that has the same uses I do, I would strongly recommend this scanner.

I gave it four stars because of the intermittent errors and it could be a little easier to use. It also makes tiny crops to the photos I cannot get it to stop. Most of the time, they don't matter so much, unless a subject is already close to the edge.

I will test the print function and update once I've finished scanning all my photos.

*You can also scan and print from this app.

Great printer, great quality

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024

Style: ET-8500Pattern Name: PrinterVerified Purchase

I had purchased a more expensive photo printer that kept disconnecting from my computer and wouldn't print on the edges of my 8x10s no matter what I did to fix it. I took a chance on this one and have zero regrets. The quality is great. I'm not a professional photographer, so YMMV, but my prints come out looking like they were professionally printed.

Additionally, I've had zero issues with borderless printing. From the moment I started using it, it was flawless. Getting it installed on my computer was a bit difficult, and I'm pretty computer savvy, so I don't know what that was about, but I was able to get it installed.

I will say setting up the printer took longer than usual. You have to go through about 10 steps of checking the alignment, color, etc. It's this weird "which of these 10 lines are the straightest" type questions and some of them were a bit difficult to come to a conclusion on, but it's worth it if it means your prints come out looking great.

My only complaint would be the printing program that comes with this printer. It's a bit outdated and wonky to use, but once you get the hang of it, it's worth it.

The ink was super easy to fill. For reference, I've probably printed about 30 8x10 photos since purchasing this printer and the ink is about 25% used. Additionally, they're all about equal levels, so for me, I probably won't have to scramble with buying a specific color. I can just buy the full replacement pack and call it a day.

Overall, great bang for the buck.

Edit: A month later, still loving this printer. The ink is lasting much longer than I anticipated. Very happy with this purchase!

Excellent Quality Printer

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024

Style: ET-8500Pattern Name: PrinterVerified Purchase

This was a toss up between the Epson printer and the Canon printer. After looking at all the reviews and seeing that the Epson had a somewhat smaller footprint on the desktop, I opted for the Epson...and I have not regretted that decision. The setup was very easy, straightforward and quick. I had no problems whatsoever. I have used all the paper trays and the rear feeder, which worked flawlessly. The ecotank ink is going to be a great cost saver, since the refills cost ~ $30/ total and I have printed bunches of photos and can hardly noticed any usage of the ink tanks. Printing on Premium Glossy Epson paper is proving to be excellent quality. In a side by side comparison with photos from the Walmart Lab, the Epson is by far obviously much better crispness and quality color rendition.
Having not purchased the Canon printer, I cannot say anything about the Canon product...but I can say that I and extremely satisfied with the Epson.

An good economical printer

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024

Style: ET-8550Pattern Name: PrinterVerified Purchase

4/19/24 - Review of the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 Wide-Format Printer. The printer shipped and arrived promptly, after I ordered it through Amazon. The instructions for this printer are unclear. Once I finally figured out the confusing instructions, (it was actually easy to use the printer, the instructions made it harder than necessary) filling the ink tanks was simple.
The amount of full color 13x19 prints I was able to print from the original ink that came with printer was amazing. I printed about 66 - 13x19, and 30 - 8.5x11 color prints for a party (all in the glossy-normal quality setting). The print quality was good (I did get some thin lines in some of the prints when there was a lot of black in the image, this probably would not have happened if I had used the "Best quality" setting) you could not see the lines at normal viewing distance. I even still have some ink in the original ink bottles, I did not have to use the additional set of 552 ink that I ordered.
A note about the Epson 552 printer ink sets: the printer I purchased came with, and uses 6 different inks; black, gray, photo black, cyan, magenta, & yellow. When I was ordering extra ink, I could not find an Epson 6 ink set, I found an Epson 5 ink set; gray, photo black, cyan, magenta, & yellow, so I purchased a 2 bottle set of Epson 552 black ink separately.
One con; the printer display screen is hard to read unless at eye level. I have the printer on a table next to my desk, at seated waist height, I have to bend down to see and read the printer screen clearly. (Note: the paper feeds from the top of this printer, so it could not be used on the shelf unit where our other printers are located) I have the printer connected to our iMac with an ethernet cable, so I cannot comment on the wireless function of this printer. Adding the printer to the iMac's printer list was fairly straight forward.
I used Adobe Photoshop for editing and printing the images.
The cost of this printer is priced somewhat higher than some other home office 13x19 printers, but with the savings in the cost of the ink, it is worth it. That being said, because I do not trust in the quality control of any printer company, I did purchase a 4 year extended warranty.
I will update this review in the future if I have any issues.

My new friend

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024

Style: ET-8550Pattern Name: PrinterVerified Purchase

Bought this to replace an old friend, an Epson Stylus 1400 inkjet printer. My old friend had grown old: wouldn't feed paper, then the yellow print head shut down. Bought my old friend 15 years ago, was awed by its marvelous output through the years.

i had done a lot of homework with my old friend. Learned about ICC color profiles, even learned how to make them. Key for accurate color on the Stylus. Key for any printer.

Key for the 8550. Out of the box, colors good/very good, not great. The printer wants to use Epson profiles for Epson printing stock, and they probably work fine there. I had worked into higher quality stocks, and the Epson profiles were not so great. They were good - probably good enough for most, even exceptional for some.

So here's the deal: this is a GREAT printer (the Stylus 1400 was $1900 15 years ago), and this one is every bit its equal at $600. Providing, of course, you're a nutjob perfectionist and are willing to do the homework. It handles a variety of stocks flawlessly and produces beautiful output when A) color is controlled by the printer, and B) you have ordered up the correct ICC profile. The ECO tank is going to save a LOT of money even over recycled in cartridges. The controls (software on your desktop) and hardware (through the flip control on the printer also work well.

Not a nutjob? OK. You will not be disappointed. You ARE a nutjob? OK. You will not be disappointed. Just do your homework.
