NICE AND COMPACT, EASY TO SET UP, CHEAPER WITH INK TANKS RATHER THAN CARTRIDGES!
I’ve just received an Epson ET-4850 printer with scanner and document feeder after years of HP printers being my go-to. First impressions, thumbs up for the easy instructions on initial set-up like filling the ink tanks for the first time, very clean and you can see the ink level. No more crazy expensive cartridges and the ink bottles give you 70ml (colour bottle with more in the black colour bottle) which is taken up on first set-up, so you will need to think about ordering some spare bottles as your ink gets used up. I have and the 3 colour and 1 black genuine Epson ink bottles cost me £34.00, which is way cheaper than the small amount of ink you get in cartridges. I’d say don’t go for the super cheap replica ink as it will certainly be adulterated and your print quality will be poor. When it came time to try printing I hit a snag and the printer would not release print jobs from the printer history, turns out the printer driver was version 1 and what was needed was driver 2 which I downloaded from the Epson site, it took a bit of finding out but got there in the end, but still wouldn’t print or scan, went online for some general assistance and was instructed to check the printer spooler and set it to automatic, did this turned computer and printer off and on again and finally could print out and scan fine. Size-wise its nice and compact, quite expensive compared to other printers but I’m hoping it will be worth it!

Great product but takes time to set up
Last month I purchased and returned the Epson ET 2861 because having set it up I discovered that it could not Air Print from my IPhone, nor could I print duplex. I set the ET 4850 today and I am pleased to say it does both and has a sheet feeder. It takes a bit of time to set up but it prints and scans rather well ( like most modern printers) and if you have the time to set up Epson Connect you can scan from the device to designated email accounts, Dropbox, Google Drive and other Cloud services. Emails and documents can be sent remotely to the printer. No surprises here but the ability to control the device from your smartphone using Epson Smart Panel is rather good and the online set up of the printer is straight forward if you have the patience. A good bit of kit but a novice might find setting up all the available services a bit of a challenge.At first sight the presence of a CD disk was a bit of a worry (just bin it if you donât have a drive) as were the instructions as to how to set the device up as a fax which I rather think is a redundant means of communication.

Great value, ink lasts forever
Switched to this after dealing with a Brother printer that wasted so much ink with those chip-controlled cartridges, and Iâm glad I did. This prints really well and the EcoTank system is fantastic â the ink just keeps going. Iâve run off nearly 500 proxy MTG cards and itâs still only about halfway down, which is amazing value.The only downside is it can sometimes go slightly out of alignment, leaving faint print lines that you notice in the light. Not a dealbreaker though, as the overall quality and savings more than make up for it. Definitely worth the money if you print a lot.

Not as good as many reviews make you think.
Had the Epson WF-2750 for years. Itâs solid and been a real workhorse for home office use. Great scanner, paper cartridge, auto-duplex and importantly great prints. Itâs pretty expensive on inks so I thought I would change to an eco tank version.BIG MISTAKEYou can tell straight away that this printer is cheaper and flimsy. I thought I would give it a try anyway and loaded the app and started set up.Firstly the app isnât great and neither are the paper intructions. Lots of arrows pointing at stickers and stuff to remove but all images and little instruction.The âProduct is password protectedâ came up and it told me there was a sticker on the product. Can I find that sticker? No, so WiFi was impossible to set up.Paper feed is rear loading which is bad as it allows dust to be drawn into the printer and shortens the life. This was clear in the Amazon description.It says it has duplex but that is MANUAL!! Thatâs just plain stupid, any printer you can turn a sheet over and print the other side. Since when was that duplex printing? Itâs not a feature!!Finally I got through most of the process when the app crashed and I thought I would at least try and print a test page. Immediately there is a blank part on the test page as pictured. 3 head cleans and it is still the same.I am going to return this really poor printer which is not worth the money at all.I would steer well clear and Iâm not sure I would trust another Epson printer if this is how they have declined.

Best Inkjet Printer I have owned.
Seems to be a very good quality printer. Setup was straight forward if a bit involved having to manually fill the ink tanks. Seems to come with a decent amount of ink too. Print quality is far superior to my previous Epson printer. Duplex printing seems good although it can be a little slow as the printer waits to make sure the ink is dry before it flips the page. Haven’t used the scanner yet.

Print quality is excellent at a relatively low cost
Only had the printer for a couple of days but I am very pleased with it. My ten year old HP Photosmart needed replacing and after carefully reviewing the market I decided on this Epson tank printer. No more expensive cartridges and so far excellent prints. Setting it up was fairly easy but the multi-language instructions were a bit overwhelming!!!Connecting the printer to my WiFi and PC plus my phone and iPad was straightforward and all the controls were easy to use. The associated APP is very useful and easy to use. Although itâs early days, I think the print cost will be significantly less than my old HP cartridge printer. Overall I am delighted with this printer.My worries about the ink bottles being messy were unfounded as there was no spillage and filling the tank was very simple. The touch screen is rather small but is easy to use and the paper feed is very easy to fill. Overall, a very good product. I wouldnât go back to cartridges.
