Customers say
Customers find the printer offers good value for money, being economical to run and providing up to three years of ink. However, the print quality and functionality receive mixed reviews, with some reporting poor results and others saying it works well. Setup experiences are mixed, with some finding it easy to set up while others find it hard to configure. The Wi-Fi connectivity and print speed also get mixed feedback, with some reporting constant network connection issues and others noting it’s fairly fast. Moreover, the ink durability and double-sided printing capabilities are mixed aspects, with some saying it lasts forever while others report it stops working after 18 months, and some can do duplex printing while others cannot.

A good all-rounder that is easy to use under Linux
The key point about this device is that it just works with everything on your network, that includes any Linux systems. Its actually easier to use with Linux than Windows. The CUPS and XSANE utilities I use on my Linux system know all about this printer without needing any special drivers! The Windows software includes a very useful photo printing utility that makes great prints but is not so great with the printer paper set up.There are issues with the set up process. The setup guide implies that the quick and easy route is to use the Epson app on your phone. This did not work with my phone, it just did not detect the printer. I followed the simple manual set-up instructions given in the printed setup guide. Once I had the ink loaded and the print system primed, the app on my phone connected with the printer and became useful. Filling the ink tanks is a clean and easy process. It is significantly simpler than working with the ink cartridges that I have used in the past. The filling system is designed to prevent you from overfilling the tanks. Another clever feature of this device.The screen on the front of the device is useful but rather small. I found it difficult to use but not impossible. It takes a little getting used to. Once you have discovered how it works it is easy to use but there is a learning period. Once you have understood how the menus work, it is actually very simple and quick to use. However, once the printer is setup the Epson Smart Panel app is easier to use.Printing and scanning performance is great. This printer is capable of creating borderless prints and this is why it will suspend the print operations if the paper implied by the pending print operation does not match the the paper size and type that the printer has been told is loaded in the paper feed. One of the things that you need to learn is to check that the printer paper settings match the paper in the feeder before starting any print job.The scanner built into the top of the device is of good quality and easy to use. BUT the Epson app restricts you to 600dpi whereas the scanner is capable of 1200dpi. No problem for XSANE but does restrict the quality of the images produced using the Epson app. The app appears to be tuned for creating PDFs rather than imaging photographs or other detailed originals.There’s a lot to this device and it does have a learning curve. It prints well on a range of papers and sizes. It is a very capable scanner and copier, with the option of copying in colour or black and white. It is capable of two sided printing which can save a lot of paper. It has two print qualities, normal and high quality. It has a quiet mode to keep noise down but reduces printing speeds. Photo printing is very good for a non-specialist device and will be more than adequate for most people.

Great daily use home family printer.
Canât fault this printer. The pigment black ink makes a real difference to text which is close to my laser printer in quality. Value from the ink bottles is excellent. Easy to refill. Maintains a connection to my WiFi even following power up from being unplugged and easy for my family to use from iPads etc. These were all common issues we had with HP printers which Iâve now abandoned. Itâs not a photo printer, if thatâs your specific need look elsewhere, but for regular daily household use, homework etc itâs hard to beat.

Very good
So far so good. Easy to set up, great printing (including double sided), so far the ink has lasted really well. Prints photos well (but the ink rubs off which is not great), Was a bit concerned by the mixed reviews but my experience so far has been great – and hopefully that will continue. Only tiny gripe is that I am used to a paper storage tray but this is back fed which is fine but not ideal. Quite a big unit but no bigger than most others, about as loud as you would expect from such a printer. Pricey but I would say, so far, that I think its good value,

Nothing but headaches and issues
UPDATE: Product is still awful. If you want a terrible printer that does not work, take your chances with this one, but it’s just too expensive to gamble with. I am reluctantly donating my £200 printer to a local charity shop after only four months and buying a Brother.UPDATE II: I bought a Brother DCP-T780DW and thought it would be worthwhile contrasting the two products. My new printer is also a Tank printer with a scanner, but this one also has Apple AirPrint and can print in duplex (two sided) automatically. Firstly the Brother has a much more solid feel where the Epson felt flimsy and plasticky. The scanner bed is much better designed and it has a small but functional screen on the front. Setup was easy. While I did get some ink on my fingers while filling the tanks (which was admittedly easier on the Epson), that is likely due to user error. Their app stepped me through connecting to WiFi, which was straightforward once you figure it out (you have to connect your phone to a temporary network set up by the printer to enter your home Wi-Fi settings). From there, a quick calibration process and everything is up and running. With the Epson, you needed their app to print anything from a mobile device, and their app is terrible. From a mac, you have to know how to find and connect to their printer using an IP address, which not everyone will know how to do. With the Brother, using AirPrint, the printer just shows up on any Apple device on the same network. Magic. Finally prints are fast and clear. I didn’t time the Epson, but it seems the Brother has less whirring and buzzing before each printout, which makes it seem faster. The black level is a touch grey (rather than deep black), but not unpleasantly so, but other than that, the print quality is everything I need.The TL/DR is with the Epson EcoTank, you are taking a potentially expensive risk. For me, it was a £150 lesson and I’ll never buy one of their products again.ORIGINAL REVIEWI needed a color printer, so I reluctantly moved on from my black-and-white HP laser printer. That printer worked when you needed it. It was accessible from every device in my home through Apple’s Air Print, and did exactly what you needed it to do when you needed it. It just worked.I chose the Epson because the ecoTanks received good reviews, and to be fair, they are the best feature of the printer. The tanks are large, easy to fill, and appear to deliver decent color printouts, exactly what I would need. If the printer ever worked. Which it does not.The problem isn’t mechanical; it is software-related, so 100% addressable by Epson if they cared to build a usable product.I have no idea why they would choose not to use Apple AirPrint, or a network print protocol that is recognizeable by the devices on my network. They’ve chosen instead to force me to print through their app, which would be okay if it worked. But it does not.The app is one of the worst I’ve ever used, considering it’s a product costing over £10. It is clunky, slow, written in poorly translated English, and incredibly hard to use. It takes about 20-30 minutes, at the absolute fastest, to get your printer configured and connected to Wi-Fi. This would be kinda okay if the wifi worked. But it does not.The printer loses connection to the Wi-Fi, despite being NEXT TO THE ROUTER. When it does connect, simple printouts (750k images) take 20 minutes to print, and they often fail before completion. Reconnecting to the wifi using their app takes another 10-20 minutes, and is a ludicrously long and convoluted process.For those who manage to get their printer to connect reliably, I’m sure it is a decent printer. However, if you’re like me, it is an expensive paperweight.

Good multi function print and scanning device with economical ink supply
Great product, no more running out of ink every time you go to print something!Print quality is good and sharp both for black and white as well as colour. This isn’t a dedicated photo printer, but using photo paper gives really good results for day to day photos.Having double sided capability helps save paper too which is nice, plus it uses the same refills as older models including the ones I had before so a lot less waste of money and for the environment too.The printer is quite neat and fits well into a home or office situation and also has a quiet mode to help cut down on interference with other occupants of the house.Setting up and getting it working went well due to clear instructions.

Ma vieille Stylus m’ayant abandonnée après 13 ans d’utilisation (et encore, c’est seulement le rouleau d’entraînement du papier qui a rendu l’âme), je fais de nouveau confiance à Epson, en espérant que celle-là durera aussi longtemps que la précédente.Rien à redire sur l’installation, intuitive et facile.Les premières impressions sont irréprochables.On verra sur la durée.

Papers always get stuck on the back every time I send a print, and I have to reload it two to three times until it prints.
