I brought this printer 3 years ago as of Dec 16, 2021. It has been a great printer. I have printed photos and many cards, and hundreds of documents. It's the best printer I have ever had. I had no problems with setting up this printer I followed the directions and set it. I print from my phone, with no issues, I print from laptop with no issues. The printer is hooked up to my Desktop computer. I just refilled my printer Dec 6, 2024. So the ink does last a long time. You must print something regularly or it will cause problems printing. I have had to do nozzle clean at least 3 times since I had my printer. I just had to do a power clean this past week after refilling the printer. I started getting streaks in my cards I was printing. After the power clean it working fine. Great printer.

the EcoTank 4850 is BY FAR the worst printer I have ever owned. Sure, ink savings is important. But impossible to scan, or print without hiccups EVERY TIME is unacceptable. This one is now on sale but DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! Unless, of course, you like hanging around your printer and computer for five as long as i should take to print/scan/copy. One star is only because of the low print ink cost.

Hello! I received this printer about 4 days ago, and was so excited! This brand is excellent, and I hope it lives up to all the hype. First off, I was just expecting a simple printer, but this is a printer not only prints, but also copies, faxes, and scans! How great is that? I must say, the set-up has been a bit frustrating, as I had a crazy hard time connecting the printer to wifi. Our wifi is xfinity wifi, and I usually don't have a problem connecting devices. Once I finally had it properly connected to wifi (I first had to use wifi-direct for it to even recognize the wifi), I had issues connecting the printer to my laptop. Our laptop is a Dell running Windows 10 and it should be compatible with the laptop just fine. So... I will continue to troubleshoot with the printer and see why it will not work. It recognizes the printer, but continues to just say error. It prints fine from my phone. *This is a review for the Epson EcoTank ET-4850 Wireless Color Supertank Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Epson EcoTank is changing the game. I received my EcoTank ET-4850 last week. Let me start off by saying setup was a breeze. At times you are not sure where to start with new technology but Epson made it foolproof with this one. The app was easy to navigate, ink was simple to load and I successfully got it linked to my home WIFI network without any challenges. In the past, the WIFI step has caused me some trouble so I was relieved that this process was so simple. This multifunction printer is excellent for your home office and small business. You can print, copy and scan with great quality from this single device. The duplex printing capability is also a huge win allowing you to easily conserve paper and waste. The printing quality is superb. This inkjet printer offered crisp rich colors that you might typically find from a laser printer. The size might be a tab large for the average home user but I feel it's worth it for all the features that are offered. One last note that I thought was great as I have experienced problems in the past with other printers is the document feeder. This model has a high-capacity document feeder that operates smoothly and jam-free and in my line of work, it is a blessing. All in all, this printer has exceeded my expectations.

I received this Ecotank ET 4850 All-in One Home Office printer last week. This printer has all the features most people will need in a home- office printer for heavy duty home or home-office use. It was extremely easy to set up wirelessly using the Epson Smart Panel App. The entire process took about 35 minutes including a firmware update. The large ink bottles are spillproof and stop filling when the tank is full. The all-in-one features a scanner, copier, automatic 2 sided printing and a fax machine. It also prints borderless photos. So far the features that I have used work very well, including borderless 4x6 photos on glossy paper.

Epson all in one ET-4850 is replacing my ET-4750 that has 40,000 printouts and still working. I wanted 2 printers to print different media without having to keep changing it. I am very happy with all of my Epson products. The ECO tank is why I bought these printers. Great print quality in all modes.

This printer is great. I first started off with scanning pictures that I needed for a slide show. This was simple to do and the pictures turned out awesome! When I have printed some documents I was amazed at the speed in which it printed. Much faster than other printers I have used. The setup was a breeze and adding ink, to me, was super cool. The simplicity of inserting the ink bottle and letting it fill the tank was fun to watch. After about 10 minutes I was setup and full of ink and ready to start printing.

I will be the first to admit that I had heard of EcoTank, but always thought it was some kind of marketing gimmick. I had heard ads on NPR about Epson EcoTank and how it can save you on dozens of ink cartridges. I thought “why would Epson want to destroy their profits by selling fewer cartridges”? I was a doubter. After having used the Epson ET-4850 for the past two weeks, I can tell you BELIEVE THE HYPE. EcoTank really is a game-changer, when I opened that box and saw these generous four large bottles of ink, I was blown away. It was way more than I imagined, and for the first time in a long time with a printer, I was excited. I could print color pages without “ink anxiety”. In years past, I would never print things in color because it was only for emergencies, it was too precious and rare to use my color ink. Now that anxiety is slowly fading away. **Love about the ET-4850** Easy to fill ink bottles. At first sight of the Ink bottles, I was intimidated, I was worried they would leak everywhere and it was going to be a huge mess. Anyone who has bought a bottle of ink and tried to refill a standard ink cartridge in a printer knows what I am talking about. These EcoTank bottles are pretty much idiot-proof. They have special fit nozzles that only open when put into the correct slot on the printer, you are not going to get ink on your hand or table or anything. Plus each color has a specially shaped nozzle so you can’t mess them up and get the wrong color ink in the wrong tank. It is so easy and with zero mess. I love EcoTank. Printing quality. Wow, the quality of what I was able to print off was simply astonishing. I printed some very high-definition drawings and you could not even see the pixels, my wife thought I had taken pages out of a professionally printed book. They look that good. I have never owned a printer that was able to print to the very edge of a paper, with zero borders and this thing can do it flawlessly, and it looks incredible. I haven’t had the chance to print off any photos yet, but I imagine they would look just as good. In terms of print quality, just outstanding. 5 out of 5. Speed. For an inkjet printer and the high quality of the images, I was very impressed. Make no mistake this is not a laser printer, so don’t come expecting laser printer speeds. But the speed with which it prints images is pretty good, and for home use with a family or even a small office, this is a great printer. Just don’t go expecting to print off large batches of documents with minutes to spare. Amazing scanning. This printer has the best scanner I have ever owned. For years I have used the scanner on my Brother laser printer for scanning. I know am thinking about rescanning all those old photos over again because this scanner is just that much better. I’m just blown away at the super high resolution and color accuracy of the scans. The best scanner I could have asked for. Connectivity. I was able to initially set up the printer entirely from my iPhone. Was able to add it to my wifi network and follow the onscreen instructions in the Epson app to fill the ink and do some printing tests. It worked really well. Once it was on my wifi network, I was able to use Apple AirPrint from my iPhone to print directly to the printer with no additional setup. I love it. Physical Pinter. The printer is a good size, it’s not going to overtake your desk, but you would be best putting it on its own shelf. I have the write version, so I hope the plastic does not yellow over the years, if you place it near a window, you may want to get the black version. The scanner, buttons, and hinges feel very solid. The touch screen is not a capacitive touch screen like you know from your phones or iPad, it uses the older resistive touch screen technology. That being said, it still works pretty well and responds to my touches and I am able to use the UI with one finger. Just don’t go in expecting iPhone-level touch controls. The paper tray takes a 1/2 ream of paper, which is decent. I would have preferred a full ream of paper, but that would have added about another inch to the high of the machine. Seeing as this is not a laser printer, 250 sheets is going to last you a long time. **Room for Improvement** Connectivity and apps. To put it bluntly, connecting the printer to outside services like Dropbox is a pretty clunky experience. It can’t be done on the Printer Screen itself, or on the Printer App, you have to print off a physical paper on the printer that gives you a special password, and then you have to go to some other Epson website outside the app to find setup the service. It’s not very seamless and really has some serious room for improvement. I was confused about the process and nearly gave up after 20 minutes. Epson does not make it easy having so many different apps in the App Store. Scanner Presets. Another thing I would love to see is saved presets for Scanning on the printer. The scanner is fantastic and very high quality, but every time I want to go in and scan a photo, I have to changes it from PDF to JPEG and change all number of other settings on the printer. I really wish there was an ability to save a preset of settings for “Scan Photo” or “Scan Document” Ink tank LEDs. On the box, the actual tank for the EcoTank looks really colorful and vibrant. In reality, the windows on the tank are very muted and dark. This is a very minor complaint, but one that I would love to see regardless. That is, I would love to see an LED light in the back of the EcoTank so you can clearly see the different colors of ink and their levels.

I have had this ET04850 over year and it has been the most frustrating combo printer I have ever owned! It has had tons of connection issues, stopped print jobs, stalled scans, etcc. We are so used to it not printing a job, that we just cycle the power on it and Wa La, the print job happens. Today, I just updated the firmware again. I also reinstalled the latest ESPON drivers onto my computer and of course my Windows 11 is totally up to date on my laptop. Over the last 20 years I have had two different HP's that were spot on for printing or scanning when you needed them - RARELY a connection issue. I bought this thing to save on ink, but BUYER BEWARE many times when I had to print or scan something quickly before leaving the house, I was faced with a half hour of frustration or not getting what I needed. BTW this is with two different computers. If this latest round of updates doesn't fix it, I am dumping EPSON and going back to an HP.

Just set this up and done 40 pages. and 2 copies. Prints fine but it is the loudest printer I have ever owned. Don't expect to talk on the phone while it's printing. Also from print button to 1st page - 35 secs!! then 15 secs to print one page. My HP that died was quieter and faster. Hope the Ecotank feature will make up for the noise and the speed. Too early to know if I would recommend this printer to a friend, so I said NO, but that could change.
