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

I’ve been using the Epson EcoTank ET-2850 for a while now and I’m very satisfied with it. The setup was easy, and the ink tank system is a huge advantage compared to cartridge printers. The ink lasts a long time and saves a lot of money. Print quality is very good for documents and color prints, and the automatic double-sided printing is very convenient. Wireless printing works perfectly with my phone and laptop. It’s not the fastest printer, but for home or small office use it’s more than enough. Overall, this is a reliable printer with excellent value for the price. I highly recommend it.

The printer arrived in a renewed box, with all the proper tape on all of the pieces. Ink tanks were clean. I got this one because it has a one-year return, and it was 60 bucks cheaper. This is everything I have needed in a printer. I needed automatic 2 sided printing. Check. I needed good connectivity across multiple platforms ( windows 7, 11, xp, and linux, and Iphone, android.) Check. I wanted a permanent print head, but most of all, I wanted to be able to use refillable ink. Check. The bottles that come with it seem large, but so are the individual 4 tanks. I've had some printers that were 4 or 5 colors. Three has been easier, and the picture quality is just fine. When it comes time to refill the ink tanks, I'll simply pour my ink into these bottles, and refill. Screw the "genuine" epson ink. Do you really think that there is a difference? I don't . I have been drilling and refilling ink cartridges for 30 years, and have used the same ink in 3 different brands with no problem. I love that you can do that with this printer...even easier than buying special cartridges to fool the system, or bypassing it in hidden settings on the printer (by law they have to have a setting to shut off the proprietary ink cartridges. Set-up was pretty easy. I discarded the instructions. I had great first time luck filling the tanks, letting it charge the ink, and using the keypad on the front of the printer to connect it to my network first. Then, when I downloaded the software for my computer(s), The software found it easily. This way, was better than the way the software tells you to do it. Same with the phone app. Put the printer on your network first...then let everything find it. The epson app for my android is the first one that actually works with one click to print. Other reviewers have said that this thing paper jams a lot. So far, so good for me. I did have one jam so far. I use heavier weight paper, and I think one corner was bent as I was putting paper in it. This printer will hold a lot (150?) of paper. That's good, but if this thing starts jamming, it'll go back. I'll update if that happens

For years, I have been using HP all-in-one printers with disposable cartridges. This one is incredible. I printed two double-sided, full-sized, color work and activity books (A4-sized pages) for my 8-year-old son, and the ink level is around 3/4. If you keep the heads clean, this printer will serve you well. I read some reviews about the low quality of prints with this printer. Well, my experience was just the opposite. So, their experience does not represent the whole; they should be outliers. These people might need to learn more about the printer's preferences for the basic printing rules. Printers print according to what you feed them with. The higher your raw and paper quality, the better the print you'll get. And remember to check the preferences for better print quality as well. One other complaint I read was about the wifi connection. It does not reflect the reality as well. The wifi card on the printer does not lose connection at all. The units these people have might be faulty. That does not mean these devices lose connection. And if you have a stable 2.4GHZ internet wifi router. This printer will keep its connectivity, unlike multiple HP products that I had previously. I had to turn wifi off and on every time I had to print something. The best part is that even the whole set of inks (black and two colors) is cheaper than the entire set of HP cartridges(Black-color). On the other hand, here are three things that are annoying about this printer: 1) the paper feed is from the top. 2) the LCD screen is too small. 3) generating a printing job outside the local network is crappy and glitchy. They need to fire the whole department of software developers in charge of this part of the software solutions. There is no excuse for an internationally sold product's software solution to be this glitchy.

I'm not sure I've written another product review of a product, but I am upset enough to write this one today. I have owned this printer for a little over a year, but my family and I have used it sporadically, spending most of our time printing school worksheets and other small jobs (as indicated by the ink-level in the picture posted - we have not ordered new ink tubes since purchasing the product). Recently the machine has read the error code 031006, rendering the machine inoperable, as the code relates to the motherboard and other internal components. It's almost an all-encompassing code meant to indicate any issue not easily resolved and in need of serious repair. Upon receiving the message, I contacted the third-party first, Pro-Distributing. They only have a 45-day return window, which is an absurdly short time frame and referred me to the manufacturer. This was disappointing and a harbinger of things to come. I can assure you that I will never purchase another good sold by them. After two hours of speaking with multiple Epson customer service representatives, from both their service center and corporate headquarters, it was decided that due to the nature of the purchase on Amazon that it fell outside of their purview for replacement. This was after an initial phone call that revealed a level of empathy, where the representative assured me it would be replaced. After jumping through many hoops, sending the necessary documented proof of purchase and photos illustrating state of the printer, they changed their mind. Their customer service representatives morphed from helpful and pleasant, to dismissive and unempathetic. If you look at the reviews of this product, they will indicate similar complaints of internal component issues, ink tubes drying and clogging, and a host of other issues creating an untenable situation with their machine. Do not let the preferred or "top" reviews fool or misguide you - this machine would be considered a lemon if it were a car and my hope is to deter people from ever purchasing this machine again. Printers have never been the most reliable, but I'm disappointed in myself for buying this product. I've had Canon printers in the past that have had a decently long shelf-life, but I wasn't thorough enough in my research for this one and got duped. I have been a long-time Amazon buyer and consumer, and there have been times where I have been disappointed. However, usually Amazon makes it right. This time, Amazon, the third party Pro-Distributing, and Epson themselves are a big wrong. So please, whatever you do, save your money and do not purchase this product or any good from the aforementioned Pro-Distributing or Epson.

So, I’m not sure if my experience was a byproduct of the Amazon renewed program or a general Epson printer issue, but after going through the set up routine, the printer would not initialize and gave an error. Calls to both, Epson and Amazon did not yield a solution. The error code indicated that something was stuck in the printer. This happened after it had already been filled with ink and was proceeding to the print head priming step in the setup. Following the onscreen troubleshooting prompts did not resolve the issue. Epson phone support was not able to resolve the problem. Amazon was not able to exchange the item because there was no more renewed inventory. With no other option, but a return for a refund I tried one last time to see if I could figure out why the printer was throwing an error. I manually turned the gears inside the printer until the printhead lock moved to the unlocked position and then slid the print head left and right in its track, then again, turned the gears until the printhead locked. After doing this I restarted the setup and this time the error cleared and the setup could be completed. However, I then had problems with the installation of the software on two PCs. I was able to resolve this each time by uninstalling all Epson software, then restarting the computer, then suspending my firewall and then doing a clean installation of the drivers. All Apple devices were able to find and natively print to the printer without any software installs. The printer itself seems fine. Printing is sharp and fast, but photos seem to be a little washed out. It could be that I could improve upon this through print settings, but haven’t tried yet since 99.9% of my printing is text and the images are good enough for my needs. So, minus 1 star for the setup challenges and meh image print quality.

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.

First of all, this is a belated review. I bought this printer in January of 2025. After struggling for years with HP inkjet and laser printers falling off line, not being "found" by my wifi, and the ink cartridge bandits, I decided to try this Epson EcoTank. I do not have a single complaint. I followed directions and filled the ink reservoirs, and have been using it for over a year now. I bought extra ink, expecting the ink to be a big cost, but I still haven't had to break in to the new ink. The print quality is very good, though not as good as a new HP printer, but it's a fair tradeoff. This is such a wonderful printer that I feel compelled to write this review after well over a year.

First I have to say I was worried about buying a refurbished machine after reading reviews. I am big on reviews and if something doesn't have high reviews I won't even bother. Well I am so glad I didn't listen!! This is perfect. Connecting to my wireless router was a piece of cake. I also have to mention I have always had HP printers and connectivity has always been an issue. I was so surprised on how easy it was to setup and the fact every time I go to print I dont have to turn the printer on and off because I lost connection. So far the ink doesn't seem to have moved even though I have used it a lot. I would have been buying new cartridges for my HP by now. It has the same features as other machines. Plus I find the app a lot easier to use than HPs. The size is perfect. It fits o. The desk fine and takes up the same amount of room all the other ones I have had. I would highly recommend!@

This is exactly what I needed! I got it on super sale on Amazon and it has been perfect. No issues. Looking forward to the eco tank feature. It does double sided sheets, lots of page length options and obviously it’s a colour printer which is great. Affordable and easy to use.

I operate a small home office and print about 300 pages per month, with approx 10% using various levels of colour. Before this, I used an Epson toner printer sitting next to an HP colour printer. The reason for this was to minimize the cost of constantly printing with expensive colour cartridges. The Toner unit served me well for several years, but it was just time to replace it. I committed to order the ET 2850 on behalf of two respected colleagues. Two aspects caught my attention, one of which was dual-sided printing, and the second was the cost of maintaining an ink supply. Admittedly, I was skeptical about the latter. Amazon delivered as usual (always great to deal with!), and everything exceeded my expectations! I donated the other two printers to a charity. The 2850 is robust, easy to set up, seems to have an endless supply of ink, and the print quality is better than the other two units! I found the WIFI print spooling a little slow, 10-15 seconds, so I cabled it and solved that slight lag. As a side note, it had not occurred to me that this printer now sits next to my Epson 400 scanner, my next favourite device! I highly recommend both of these Epson products! Paul
