Easy to install, easy clear instructions for usage. We print a lot of pictures and this does not go through ink like our old inkjet. Be aware it takes a minute for pictures to dry so keep them separated. I would rate this printer a 9/10

Love the large refillable ink tanks. They really make our printing life less expensive and the bonus is an absolutely fantastic color printing machine for our photos.

I recently upgraded from an R800 Photo Printer that I have had for years and years. Quality of the ET-8550 printer is great for printing photos. The tank system is really easy to use.

I converted it into sublimation, and I love it. I tried to do the DTF hack, but the paper is slick, and the printer keeps smearing, I can't use it with DTF paper.

This is the first printer that I oohed and sewed when a photo print came out. The detail and colour of each was breathtaking. Best printer ever. The ET-8550 , Great purchase

Long lasting ink! All paper sizes! Awesome for sublimation project! Slick looking! Big touch screen! All kinds of settings and mobile apps so we can print from our phones! Love it! It works great for me and what I do!

Very easy to set up. I wanted this for multi-purpose usage - documents AND good quality photos. So far B&W printing is good, but colour on ordinary paper is washed out - my old Epson WF printer did a better job - very minor use though, so perhaps I can tweak it with software, but on that note...When was the last time you saw a CDROM player in a computer? For me it is at least 7 years, perhaps more - yet Epson sees fit to supply software on a CD. ARE YOU KIDDING? Put is on a USB stick, or at the very least supply a QR code that points directly at it on the web. Sheesh!

We bought the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 almost a year ago, and unfortunately, it has been one of the worst printers we’ve ever owned. We were hoping for a compact, business-friendly/ home use (Photo) printer with EcoTank technology, but this model has been nothing but frustrating. First, it has no document feeder, which means you can’t scan multi-page documents, a major drawback for business use. On top of that, unless you’re printing constantly or running frequent cleanings, the print heads clog easily, and the print quality becomes terrible. Connectivity has also been a major issue. The printer is hardwired, yet it regularly refuses to go online. Often, the only fix is to power-cycle the printer just to get a simple document to print. The automatic document/output tray is another pain point. It’s supposed to extend and retract on its own, but now it only works sporadically. Most of the time, it won’t retract at all, leaving the tray stuck in the extended position. Overall, we’re extremely dissatisfied. We’ve owned multiple Epson printers in the past and they’ve been just okay, and HP hasn’t been any better for us either. At this point, we’re ready to look outside both brands for something more reliable.

This has to be the slowest inkjet printer I have ever owned. Even when setting is at standard print quality. It took over 90 minutes to print a 23 page design presentation after it randomly cancelled the print job twice during the process. The print quality on matte presentation paper is also subpar. I wish I could get my $750 back. Garbage bound.

The prints are great. There are two problems with the design. In order to change the paper in Cassette 2, you have to push in the paper tray. The tray does not feel particularly sturdy, so repeated pushing worries me. No problems yet except time wasted. Second, it looks like it is designed not to let you use the ink in the bottom third or half of the ink tank. My printer didn't work properly when the GY tank still showed 1/2 full. This is a really annoying feature.
