Epson EcoTank ET-3850 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier, ADF and Ethernet – The Perfect Printer Home Office,WhiteECOLOGO

I'm a computer programmer and product developer, so I print a lot of code and CAD designs in color every day. This printer is a truly reliable workhorse! I should have bought a tank printer years ago! Don't waste your hard-earned money on cartridge printers anymore (oh, the nightmares)! I've had this for several months now and I'm still using the original ink it came with, and all the tanks are still well over half full, and I've been through two reams of paper already. It's fast, copies great, scans perfectly, has a built-in duplexer to print on both sides, and is just trouble-free. Nice job, Epson! Highly recommended; would buy again!

The Epson EcoTank ET-3850 printer has proven to be an excellent choice for my sublimation and DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing needs. After setting it up for these specific purposes, I've been thoroughly impressed with its performance.The printer's ability to handle sublimation and DTF printing tasks seamlessly is outstanding. The print quality is consistently vibrant and sharp, delivering excellent results on various materials. It has exceeded my expectations in producing detailed, high-resolution prints suitable for sublimation or DTF transfer applications.Setting up the printer for these specialized printing methods was relatively straightforward, thanks to Epson's clear instructions and compatibility with sublimation and DTF inks. The EcoTank system's refillable ink tanks are a cost-effective and convenient solution, offering ample ink capacity for prolonged printing sessions without frequent replacements.Moreover, the ET-3850's connectivity options, including Wi-Fi and mobile printing capabilities, add to its versatility. It allows me to easily print from multiple devices, enhancing the overall user experience.

I bought this because in the past Epson provided phenomenal customer support and my last Epson lasted for many years without problem (although the way it died was annoying: one day it reported it could not read an ink cartridge, without specifying which cartridge - so I replaced each in order of 1st the cartridge I'd just replaced, then by low level... When all were replaced (costing me the whole box of all colors), it still wouldn't "read" an ink cartridge).I bought this because of the idea of the lower ink cost, bought this one on Amazon because our local (remote town) Walmart had no Epson printer with the automatic page feeder that I wanted for scanning. Set up was a pain with their automated set up not being user friendly. Unfortunately, the page feed did not work for more than 1 page when I tested it, but it was the middle of my business's busy season and I forgot to follow up and the warranty is quite short.Months later, I tried the feed again and now it won't even run 1 page, but keeps reporting "paper jam" when there is no paper to be found since it's never been used beyond that 1st test when the paper remained intact. I just wasted over 2 hrs, having to download Epson onto my computer again to make the scan work. SLOWEST PRINTER EVER EXPERIENCED. SCANNING IS EVEN SLOWER, especially when having to lay each page on the bed, then cover (otherwise you get dark edges on the saved scan image), then lift cover to start over with 2nd page - while having a 50 pg document to scan. I opted to instead eat up memory on my phone to more quickly use TurboScan app. EPSON HAS BECOME A SOURCE OF INSANITY AND WASTE OF MONEY & PRECIOUS TIME.

This printer is a game-changer! Instead of constantly replacing cartridges, it uses refillable ink tanks that last for months. We've been using it for months now and still haven't needed to refill. Highly recommend this top-rated printer!
