Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 Wireless Color All-in-One Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier, Fax and Ethernet, White

I purchased the Epson ET-5880 for our small office to fulfill our need for a good color printer. I read a number of a reviews about the printer before making the purchase. Most were positive, so I went ahead and ordered the printer. I'm very pleased with this printer. I had no problem connecting it to our network. Installing the drivers on four computers was easy as well. I should note that the printer comes with a CD for installation, but I chose to use the NEWER drivers that were on Epson's website instead. You should do that as well.Filling the ink tanks on the printer was very simple. Not so much as a drop of ink was spilled. The ink bottles are keyed so that one cannot put the wrong color ink in a tank no intended for that color. Once filled, the unit goes through a charging process (Epson's term) to get ink to the print heads. Yes, it uses a little ink, but Epson also supplied a second set of ink bottles so that the ink tanks are full after the charging process. The printing is very fast, yielding high quality print. I suggest using 22 or 24 pound paper, especially if printing on both sides of the paper.I was particularly interested in seeing how this printer would handle scanning. I do a lot of two-sided scanning. The scanning software, SCAN 2 and SCANSMART, both worked well. SCAN 2 gives the user lots of options, but might be overwhelming to a newer user. The SCANSMART software is more visual and gives the user enough features to adjust and/or crop images as needed. The software does provide the option of creating a searchable PDF file, which is something I like as I deal in contract documents. Of course, one can print from a cell phone or tablet if desired. There's even a remote print feature where one can print via email from anywhere where there's an Internet connection.Overall, I'm pleased with this printer. It's not inexpensive, but it will easily meet the needs of a small office.

It prints fast and with excellent quality. The pigment-based inks for black and color provide a near-waterproof print.

For a small printer, scanner and office/home printer, it's very nice. I especially like the larger capacity ink cartridges, more ink and less materials used. Photos are crisp and sharp with excellent color gamut, speed is good. You have every print option available to you, to best meet the needs and quality of any job at handing question. Scanning is fast and accurate, as is printing, if you use it as a copier. Ink consumption is surprisingly thrifty, and cleaning operations are sparing of the ink that is used. Epson issues updakes on a regular basis. I bought this printer as a gift specifically because I have owned one myself, for about two years. In that time, I have experienced zero performance or maintainance issue with the device.I am entirely satisfied with this printer, and am also happy that it is so reliable that I am afforded the luxury of being able to forget about when I not actually using it.Disclosure: I have no relationship of any kind with Epson or any other vendors, and I have neither. received nor solicited renumeration or other considerations, of any nature, for my endorsement of this product.

I purchased this printer and although I got no where near the advertised number of printed pages per ink refill i was overall ok with this printer. Not the best I ever had but not the worst either. However. the free ink for two years is what really pisses me off. It is NOT a "contact us and we'll send you ink" situation. It is a REBATE and its not an easy rebate to get. You have to purchase your ink and then send your receipt AND the empty containers to get the rebate along with filling out a form with your machines model and serial number. To ship the empty containers you'll pay about $9 (US) so that's off the top of your rebate. I jumped through all their hoops and sent everything. They sent me an email denying my claim saying:" ...we could not honor your request due to the following reason(s):All required products were not submitted"They give you a tracking number and a link which sends you to a page that says the exact same thing. No way to find out what was not submitted. It says the exact same thing. So, you call the number. The automated system is infuriating as it asks a bunch of questions and then finally says the exact same thing as the email and the linked page. You finally get to a human after all of the above and they tell you the EXACT SAME THING. I explained that I filled out the form, and shipped the empty bottles to them so what "Product" were they referring to. I was told that since I bought the EPSON ink all in one box (Epson color combo pack 542) and not as individual bottles that the purchase did not qualify. SERIOUSLY??? My claim is now under review and will take an additional 7 - 10 days. I was told not to inquire again about this until after the full 10 days had passed. I will update this review with the outcome but BUYER BEWARE!
