Epson EcoTank ET-2850 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scan, Copy and Auto 2-Sided Printing - Black, MediumECOLOGO

Five stars aren't enough for this printer. I just realized we've had it for TWO YEARS! It feels like we got it yesterday because it runs just as well as the day we got it. A friend was asking for a printer recommendation, so I looked up my old purchase and found I hadn't reviewed it. First of all, the ink is RIDICULOUSLY easy to replace... pour from the bottle into the cartridge. Next, it connects to my iPhone (sorry, I'm not familiar with Android) and prints perfectly from my phone. It also scans (and I use that function a lot for random document submissions). I've never had a paper jam, and the noise does not bother me at all. This is quite possibly the best cheap printer I've ever seen in my life! If you need a printer at home, YOU NEED THIS PRINTER!

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.

Prints out pretty well, not like wax or laser, but as good as any inkjet I've used.Love not having to replace cartridges and just the ink. So far no problems with any heads clogging, which is why HP and others tell you you need to replace the entire cartridge, that includes the print head, every time you refresh the ink.Always seemed wasteful and expensive to me.

I've been using the printer for one month. It is phenomenal. $'s SAVED OVER PRINTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT WILL MAKE THIS AN AFFORDABLE CHOICE. If you download the CORRECT Mac OS Epson drivers, go through the setup step by step, and if you don't hear the ink tanks being activated, or cannot print a test page do not waste time trying multiple times ! ! ! Call the FREE Tech Support number listed on AMAZON HELP. There is a support number on the Amazon web page for their help. Skip the Amazon option. The EPSON number will refer you to other departments, including support. I had a short wait... The rep will likely have you go through a short (EASY) process on the tiny printer screen to disable the 1st load attempt. My experience was superb and I was up and running in twenty minutes. Most likely he/she will get your email address and send you a special message from an EPSON SUPPORT eMail address. The Subject will be "Mac Driver Download Instructions [Incident:xxxxxx-yyyyyy]." The first line will be a link to an Epson FTP Server (File Transfer Protocol). Click the link, follow instructions, and you are on your way to SUCCESS. Once the printer tanks are charging you have succeeded. There is a reference number for your support discussion should you need to call again.My wife has an EPSON 8550 Photo Quality Printer purchased 18-montha aqo. It is exceptional quality and the ink tanks are only down to the 50% mark. We can each print on the others printer via our router, no cables...I certainly believe EPSON's claim that you will get two years of printing before refilling the ink tanks.
