I purchased this Epson Eco Tank ET2840 Special Edition printer online from my local Sam's November deals flyer for about $90.00 off list price. I don't know if this is normal but it has to be shipped to me. It was shipped in the original packaging printer and arrived in excellent condition. I had been researching eco tank printers from various brand due to extremely high cost of cartridges and the low amount of prints per cartridge on my current HP printer. I am a paper journal creator and card maker and print lots of colored digitals for my artwork each month. The cost for ink was killing so finding this Epson Eco Tank for less than $200.00 was a great deal for me. After using it for about a month and printing lots of colored pages, I have decided this printer to be pretty much an average starter model for home use only. It will scan/copy fine but if need to fax you will need to look for a different model. I don't like the fact that it will not print borderless prints nor automatically duplex but, I can deal with workarounds for the price. It also will not print on heavy weight card stock another workaround. The paper feeds from the back of the printer and holds about 100 sheets of copier paper and much less for heavier paper so lots of refilling if you print a lot. The general print quality is not too bad, however, the sharpness and accuracy of color is not very good. It is especially noticeable with reds not being what I consider a vibrant true red. I haven't tried printing photos yet but don't really have a lot of faith the colors will print true so will stick with my HP for photos. Oh, compared to other printers I have had over the years, I have had do a lot of maintenance cleaning the print heads, which is extremely annoying and uses up ink. The ink for this Epson is a lot cheaper and lasts longer than my HP cartridges. For roughly $42.00, I can buy all 3 colors for the Epson vs. $105.00 for all 3 color XL cartridges for the HP. I don't have to be a cautious what I print with the Epson and no fear of ruining out of ink mid project. While I am glad I bought this printer as an introduction to eco tank printers in the future I will do more research and save up my money to buy one that duplexes automatically and prints borderless but that is just my needs.

I’ve had many printers. This is a huge disappointment. Doesn’t print double-sided. The colors are faded. I had trouble making copies. Not user friendly. Won’t buy Epson again. Just bought an HP in additional. It is more reliable. I run a home business and this printer doesn’t cut it

Still new but happy thus far. Print quality is good. The scanner looses a little resolution when scanning some documents. The system for filling the ink worked very well. Uses a lot of ink to charge the system, (instructions said to be expected). Happy with the speed of the printer and print quality. Was pretty easy to connect to our WiFi, 2 computers and smart phone. Good value for the money.

I picked one of these up at Sam's because they had the best price in town and my friend who calls me when she has tech issues (frightening!) purchased one and has had no issues since I helped her set it up several months ago. Bottled ink makes so much sense! It is compact, half the size of the old printer. It may not have all the bells and whistles, but I never used all those anyway and didn't want to pay for them either.

Just set it up tonight. It takes a little time to fill the ink and have it do it’s ink initialization but it’s the first time not using cartridges so I’m anxious to see how it goes. It was easy to set up. I’ve always had an HP printer so I’m excited to see how it goes with an Epson.

Our second EcoTank, the first one (double sided and about 10 years old) still working well but at my office. Nice, fast, clear printing on this one and pretty intuitive. Set-up with my computers worked though not as simple as plug-n-play. Some real improvements but similar enough that I didn't need to start from scratch. And the price was affordable.

Our granddaughter needed a printer, her birthday is coming up and I have an Epson Tank Printer. She happen to come out to use our printer, so the wife looked at me and Anna got her birthday present early! She took it home and set up was a breeze. She printed the her project and the printer performed exceptionally good, fast and with a perfect result! She’s an event coordinator and needs good/easy printer performance!! The price was very good too!!

This printer uses tanks instead of cartridges and this reduces the operating cost. It is more than good enough for printing documents. The quality of printed pictures is also reasonably good, provided that you use a photo quality paper and the corresponding profile. I'm using old-stock satin/luster (Ultra Pro Luster and Satin X) paper from the company Red River with good results. B&W pictures have a color cast that is not too unpleasant. Results might be better with Epson paper, but I can't tell for sure since I haven't use it. Printing is relatively slow. Setting up was ok. Built quality is mediocre.

Very nice printer easy to work. being able to connect your phone to it via WiFi makes printing even easier. The eco tank is great was able to fill up and still have ink left. Plus you get more black ink which is great. Replacement ink isn’t costly either.

I haven’t had a chance to use the printer yet. After a complete setup it said the software needed to be updated. Upon updating the software, the printer was accidentally unplugged. Now it’s frozen saying a malfunction occurred. I checked online and determined I now needed an usb cable (does not come with one) to connect to computer to fix problem. Only it didn’t fix it. I emailed them for help only to still be at a standstill. I will CALL today before 4pm (helpline is not available after 4pm) hopefully I can get this resolved and be able to Use the printer. Otherwise it was a waste of money
