This is a review for the Epson EcoTank ET-2400 Wireless Color Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
I received the Epson ET-2400 an unboxed it with unknown expectations since I had never used an ink tank-style printer. I immediately like the compact size of the printer that would easily fit in the corner of a desk or table. Upon unboxing, the first thing I was presented with was a quick start-style guide and I followed the instructions. Filling the tanks were a breeze and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. The ink bottles have specific tips for each color so that there is no mistakes when filling…you can’t accidentally put the wrong color in a tank. I was also pleasantly surprised when not even a single drop of ink was spilled. The process was super clean and easy. Plus, it seems really nice that I won’t have to go out and find a specific ink cartridge to my printer when the time comes. Instead, I can simply purchase a refill kit that is more universally available and I’ll be ready to go again.
As part to the setup process, I downloaded the Epson app per the instructions and found the remainder of the process to be easy as well! It really took no previous experiencing setting up printers to find success in this setup! Connecting the printer via WiFi was also simple enough for anyone to handle. After initial setup, I loaded paper in the back and was off to the races! The printer initialized and I began printing documents and pictures. The printer wasn’t overly loud and the printed product it produced was great! One of the best parts about this product is the ease in which you can print off your smart device or phone. Let’s face it, in this day and age a lot of people do a lot of work on an iPad Pro such as mine or another similar device.
Since setting the printer up, I have now been using it for a couple of weeks. I continue to be impressed each time I use it. I especially like the fact that the printer is always ready to go, whether it’s been a minute or a couple of days since my last print. That makes it super convenient to use this printer on short notice. I haven’t nearly run through a tank of ink yet, but from what I can see so far it looks like the tanks will last quite a while before a refill is needed. In fact, the ink levels have barely moved at all! I have also found that I like how close the printer will print to the edges of the paper. From what I e found so far, it’ll print to around a quarter inch from the long side and all the way to the edge on the short side of a piece of paper. That works out really well for printing Excel spreadsheets.
In reviewing this printer, I guess the ultimate question after using it for a couple of weeks is if I would recommend purchasing this printer. I can unequivocally say that the answer is yes! I have an older Epson printer that has served me very well, but this EcoTank printer is quite the upgrade from my older non-EcoTank model. The printer size, tank-style ink, print quality, and reliability (so far) of the Epson ET-2400 make it a winner in my book!
