  • Unmatched Quality for Images and Photos
This is an 'initial impressions' review after setup and a few weeks use. - Best Use Case: If, like us, your printing needs are 80% creative (artwork, photographs, etc.), 20% light document printing and occasional scanning, then this printer will meet your needs. Even though you won't be buying a new cartridge with a thimbleful of ink every 100 pages, I would not recommend this printer for high-volume workplace printing. It's not built for speed and you'll be filling the paper tray too often to be productive. Likewise, unlike a more office-oriented printer, the ET-8500 does not have a feeder for the scanner. - Unboxing / Setup: While it did take about an hour to set up, the process went much easier than I anticipated based on the reviews I read. We have it connected to our home network via Ethernet and I was able to do all necessary configuration via the printer's touch screen. Aligning the print heads is a rather lengthy process, so be prepared to spend some time on this. Our old printer would semi-self align by scanning the alignment samples once they were printed. With the ED-8500, I had to manually select which alignment settings looked best, which slowed the process considerably. - Hardware Quality: Overall, the printer feels well-built and worth the money. That being said, I do agree with other reviewers who state the paper trays feel a little chintzy and possibly easy to damage if you don't handle them with kid gloves. No problems thus far, however, so I'm simply crossing my fingers with the hoping for the best. On the flip side, I love that the output tray fully retracts into the printer when not in use. Touch screen operation is a veritable godsend compared to the wonky, practically useless LCD on our old printer. In fact, with a thumb drive or (full sized) SD card, you can perform many operations straight from the touchscreen. - Software: While it did install applications I'm not likely to use, Epson's software is much less intrusive, in my opinion, than you-know-who's naggy, resource consuming bloatware. I can't speak to the smartphone application as I have no need for it thus far. I'm also pleased to report that the printer will work without Alexia, which I will never have a need for. No problems with the software and we're able to print from any computer on the network without issue. - Scanning: As I stated above, there's no feed for the scanner, so you'll have to manually change pages if you have a multi-page document to scan. Not a problem for us, though, and my wife loves that she can scan a document straight to her thumb drive without having to bother me while I'm working. Overall quality is more than adequate for all but the most demanding scanning jobs. - Ink: With its foolproof design, filling the six ink tanks couldn't be easier, and after six weeks of use, including approximately 200 pages of image laden documents using the highest quality print level (which would have eaten up two 'XL' cartridges in my old printer), the ink levels in the ET-8500 have barely moved. Furthermore, refilling all six tanks cost only a little more than those two 'XL' cartridges would have. Very happy in this regard. - Print Quality: Even on regular paper at regular print quality, the ET-8500 hands-down smokes anything in its price range. Amp up the print quality and print to photographic paper and the results are absolutely jaw-dropping. Seriously, my brother is a professional large-format printer / sign maker, and the print quality from the ET-8500 rivals his $75,000 4' x 8' flatbed. Rich, vibrant colors pop from the page and are sure to impress even the toughest critic. This, in my opinion, more than makes up for the ET-8500 not being the fastest horse in the race. I will update my review should anything go south, but for now I give the ET-8500 a big thumbs up. For the quality you get, it is well worth the price in my opinion. ... show more

  • Original ink lasted me 3 years!
The media could not be loaded. *Update in Dec 2024* Still going strong! Today for the first time in 3 years it finally forced me to refill the ink tanks. 3 YEARS! Still prints beautifully. So grateful for my Epson printer. *Original Review* I bought a Cricut for Christmas and needed a great 3 in 1 printer to print stickers, print docs front and back, print 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 photos, as well as scan my ultrasound photos. (I did not use this for sublimation, but hear that it can be great for that too.) This thing exceeded my expectations. I’ve been using it almost every day for 5 months and it still is almost filled completely full with ink, which I can see on the front of the machine. Setup instructions were super easy and was a pleasure to get through. Before this printer I had returned 2 other printers that disappointed me. (I ended up tossing my old one years ago because the HP printer dried up so quickly.) This printer feels like it was built to last. The doors and cassettes click into place, feeling very satisfying and never leaving me wonder if I pushed it in all the way. I’ll probably never use ink cartridges again. Eco tank is the way to go. First of all, I had no idea when I bought it that you can scan and print photos using the app on your phone. It’s made things so much simpler to manage and edit. One thing I wish it had was color sliders to tweak the images a bit before printing. The scan bed is AWESOME. It’s very basic with a thin plastic lid, but I’m comparing it to the scan job the scanners at Office Max did. Those were terrible, costly if you have multiple images needing scanned, and always came out blurry with noticeable glares. (The employees also wanted to argue about HIPPA with me with my own ultrasounds…) This printer’s scan does a phenomenal job. With 300 dpi it is crystal clear with no glare! And I love that it saves directly onto your phone. A USB or SD card is only optional. You can choose to scan in color, grayscale, or black and white. For ultrasounds, definitely use the grayscale. The photo print quality is very good as well. Not sure if it’s as good as WalMart prints when it comes to color, but the quality is pretty similar. Sometimes the photos appear slightly blue, but I think it’s the photo paper I’m using. The white paper may have a slight blue hue to it. As a photographer, I’m content with saving me the trip by using this printer instead for my own personal needs. The main con I can think of is that it does print slow if you choose higher quality prints. (May take 3 minutes to print a photo.) If you need speed, this may not be your guy. If you choose Normal quality prints it goes a lot faster, but documents appear very pixely. I had a paper jam once, but it was very quick and easy to open up the printer and pull it out. I have yet to try printing with the cardstock paper feed in the back. I’ve been printing thin cardstock from the top feed and that seems to work out just fine. Another con is sometimes when I’m printing from the computer I have to turn the printer off and on again because for some reason it doesn’t always get the signal to print. Not sure what is going on there, but it doesn’t happen too often. Overall, I am still elated with my purchase 5 months later. Never had a printer that made me smile weekly before. This was worth every penny. ... show more

  • Epson EcoTank ET-8500 is Junk
This is quite possibly the worst printer I've ever used, and Epson customer service does not follow through on anything. I use this printer for my business where I print orders on regular paper, cards on cardstock, and photos on premium photo paper, all of which this printer states it can handle, but none of which works consistently. Documents that should print from tray 2 (paper tray) print on photo paper from tray 1. Anything printed from the rear paper feeder (usually 110 lb cardstock) must be fed one sheet at a time and must be pushed through manually or it will make a loud sound and cause a jam. I contacted Epson about the issues just before the warranty expired. They had me do several things to the printer, take a bunch of photos of ink levels, label on the bottom, etc., and they listened to the awful sound coming from the printer, but completely dropped the ball on sending me a replacement. I called back and no one has a record of the phone call, the photos I submitted, or anything. I do not recommend this printer or anything from Epson. ... show more
