Epson Eco Tank ET-2840

I like the way it prints, the initial set up was easy: unpacking, adding ink. The wireless connection was not as easy as I had planned. It took hours on and off, called Customer support who were very professional but it took more than one call before I received the links to download the updated drivers and software to my computer and phone both are Apple products. Since I was successful in getting that completed the printer works great, I can print wirelessly from my laptop or my iPhone, I can scan and copy effortlessly. It dose not seem to use much ink when printing time will tell, I am happy with my purchase at the price I got at Sam's.

Great Printer

Great printer for home or light office use. It was easy to set up with or without their phone app. Print quality was good and fairly fast from start to finish. Ink tanks are simple to fill and should last for longer than the old cartridge style. This Epson is much better than the HP it replaced.

Misleading the customer

Very disappointed in Sams Club obvious misleading customers on the special edition 2840 printer. I purchased twice with both times receiving the wrong item. The special edition with 2 free bottles of black ink is advertised but both in store and shipping orders I placed, the standard version of the 2840 was received. I even complained both on line and in store but Sams continues to sell the standard version and not the advertised SE version. The SE version is clearly marked on the picture in the ad. The item sent is the product that's been sitting on the shelf for a long time. Not the SE version. If your going to send out the out dated standard version at least send extra ink to compensate

Shouldn't Be SO DIFFICULT TO CHANGE PAPER SIZE!

This printer is a pain in the butt. Hate it! Every time you change the paper size and print, the PRINTER will prompt you if you want to proceed and to confirm the paper sizer. It is a huge pain and requires you to push 2 buttons on the printer before it will print, if the paper size changes. So, if your printer is under your desk, or not on your desk, you have to get up and go push those 2 buttons. Complete pain, and total waste of my time. Can you imagine every time you select a different paper size to print, you have to go push 2 buttons on the printer to confirm!! Sush a pain. Why not prompt the person on the monitor instead of the printer. AND the font is way to small on the printer!!!

It’s For A Starter Model

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.

Super easy set up!

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.

Printer purchase

Printer is working very good. Had a little problem following installation process. In unit instructions were not thorough. Several process steps were missing. Most were in manual provided with printer, but had to call customer service to get help with installation. Had problem with wireless interface that the CS tech got resolved.

Eco tank lovers

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.

Love my Epson EcoTank ET-2840 all-in-one printer

I purchased this Epson EcoTank ET-2840 Special Edition Printer to replace my old Epson Printer that served me well. I have had very good luck and have used Epson printers for years. This was easy to setup and use. It found and connected to my wireless network router.

Economical to operate with good print quality

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.
