Epson EcoTank ET-3850 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier, ADF and Ethernet – White (Renewed)

02/13/2024This printer is amazing at printing both regular documents and pictures on plain paper. I am actually amazed at how sharp the colors are and how clear the text looks. This printer is great for the home or for printing small print jobs such as printing a packet with pictures for a classroom. As of now I am happy with the printer and will definitely update if there are any issues with the product. I haven't tried the scanner that is on top, but so far the rest of the printer seems to work well. The constant connection with the WiFi, the clear print, and the ease to print about 20 pages in color (double sided) in about 8 minutes was noteworthy. My old printer took longer and did not have the same print quality.03/12/2024 Update:The printer still works very well. The ADf (Auto Document Feeder that is on top of the printer to scan documents) does not scan both sides automatically. You have to manually turn the pages to scan the other side. The ADF can be good if you are scanning multiple documents that are only one-sided. I have been able to get the documents to scan without jamming recently if I put the pages in the feeder carefully.The printer still works as expected as all my sheets are coming out crisp and clear. The print speed works for me as I do other things while the printer does it's job. However, this printer is not meant for those that have to print a lot of pages in a hurry. Instead, it works for the regular home use or for those that have the time to wait for the print outs. Since I am a classroom teacher and I print my things in advance, it is not a big deal to wait as there is always other things to do. Personally, compared to other inkjets I think this is the best option. If you need a fast printer then you need a Lazer printer. Hope this extra information helps.12/26/2024It is almost a year since I got this printer and I still have a lot of positive things to say about it. As I explained before, the prints were clear and vibrant. The original ink lasted until about a week ago as I just printed about 24 comic books with color. Before I printed the 24 books, I have used the printer to print out 600 hundred papers with color as well as other projects during the whole 10 months that the ink lasted. Throughout the year I just couldn't believe how I would print out hundreds of papers and it barely made a dent on the level of the ink tank. According to the printer, I made about 6, 632 copies both from the B/W and the Color ink tanks over the last ten months. The truth is, I still had about a 1/4 of ink in the ink tank, but I decided to refill it as I make copies often. As I mentioned earlier, if you need a really fast printer then this is not the printer to get, but if you pace yourself out well and let the printer run while you are getting other things done then it is all good.A couple of Cons that I noticed, but are not a big deal for me personally, are that the scanner on top can still jam at times. Another small annoying thing that happens is that the Epson software keeps notifying me that my ink is low when I literally just filled it up. However, the notification is not a big deal as it is easy to ignore and doe not effect the printers performance. Hope this helps.

Best printer I've ever owned. It worked flawlessly from the moment I had it set up. Acquired access to my wireless easily. Was printing in 20 minutes after opening the box. The massive amount of ink has been amazing. I would have had to change cartridges 3 times by now as I've printed over 400 pages already! Never had an issue with it yet. Easily updates it's own firmware. All I do, is use it. Doesn't get any better than this. It's not the fastest printer I've ever owned, but it is the best!

Switching to the Epson EcoTank ET-3850 was one of the best tech decisions I’ve made! After years of frustration with my HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e—expensive cartridges, constant ink waste during checkups, and the final straw: firmware updates that blocked non-HP ink—I knew it was time for a change.The EcoTank ET-3850 has been a refreshing upgrade. It’s efficient, easy to use, and much more cost-effective over time.A few things to note:• You’ll need a smartphone to install the Epson app, which provides excellent, step-by-step instructions. Be sure to follow the included quick-start paper guide before launching the app.• Ink refilling is surprisingly easy and mess-free. I was nervous at first, expecting leaks like I had with HP, but Epson’s design is smart: just flip the ink bottle upside down into the tank opening and let it go. The ink stops automatically when the tank is full. No spills!• Setup finishes with a thorough 4-page alignment, and then you’re ready to print, scan, or copy.This all-in-one printer has a smaller footprint and delivers great performance. I couldn’t be happier with the switch!

Thought I could trust Amazon/Epson when I purchased this certified refurbished printer. At the same time I purchased an Epson Sublimation printer which has been great. Long and short, the standard printer is a piece of junk! Of course it worked fine during the 30 day return period but then it stopped doing what it was designed to do...PRINT. We will send a document to the printer and it prints fine. We then try to print a second or third document and it either doesn't print it, just sits there with the annoying circle arrow moving or prints a half page and then stops. Have to clear out the print queue or it will never print again. Not a Wi-Fi problem, the printer is direct connected via USB. Deleted the Epson software and re-downloaded, unplugged etc, restarted computer. Nothing helps. Called Epson Support and received no help whatsoever. I have a Best Buy Total Support membership so we took it in to see if they could help. They tried everything they could to no avail. Lesson learned, don't buy Epson Refurbished. I'm sure they cleaned the outside of the printer and ran a few prints...that's the refurb process. I doubt they check firmware or other potential electronic bugs. If you think I'm unhappy, you're correct. Older folks on fixed incomes don't need to get stuck with a lemon and then have to spend money for another printer that actually works
