Is the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 the Best Printer for Photographers in 2023?

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Epson ET-8550 printer received mostly positive reviews, with customers praising its quality scanning features, great photo printing quality, and convenient multi-size paper trays. However, intermittent errors and usability issues mildly frustrated users. The printer garnered ample praise from photographers with its true-to-source color replication and efficiency via its ink tank system. Additionally, its automatic tray output and bright, intuitive screen struck a chord with the users.

Pros

  • 🖨️ High-quality photo printing and scanning, including color restoration features
  • 🌈 Accurate color replication for photo printing
  • 📦 Multi-size internal paper trays for ease of use
  • 🎛️ Bright, intuitive control screen
  • 💰 Efficient ink tank system that promises long-term savings
  • 🎈Automatically extends output tray and exceptional auto wake-up

Cons

  • 🚫 Occasional software errors requiring resets
  • 🖇️ Slightly tricky setup process, particularly around tray labeling and cassette placement
  • 📐 Sometimes makes undesired small crops to scanned photos
  • 💸 Higher price tag compared to similar printers in the market

Should I Buy It?

Definitely, this printer is a great investment for those who prioritize high-quality photo printing, convenience, and efficiency. Despite its higher price tag, the abundance of features seemingly justifies the cost, making it a worthwhile addition for both amateur and seasoned photographers alike. Its minor hardware and software glitches are outweighed by the over-all capabilities, versatility and convenience it offers.


  • The most satisfying ink jet printer I've ever used
The TLDR for this is the review title. It cost about $200 US more than I wanted to pay, and I tried mightily to find something else that was cheaper! But in the end, this was the only printer that I could actually say met my needs to support my serious "artsy" amateur photographer large print habit. I am pleased to say that it is worth every cent. I've had it about a week, and I've printed a LOT of photos (Maybe 30, or so), just to test it out. And the ink tanks aren't even down to the 25% used level. All printer Ink is expensive, but the way the Epson Ink is packaged and sold, it is projected to save the typical user about 80% in ink costs over the life of the printer. I believe this is a reasonable estimate based on my current usage, and I haven't even started my real printing yet. The print quality is excellent. Is it as good as one of those giant commercial grade printers? Probably not. But when I used good Epson and Canon printer paper, I thought it was as close as I could reasonably get for something that costs less than $1000 US. To be honest, I also printed on cheap Kodak paper, and while it wasn't quite as sharp and the color wasn't quite as accurate as the premium paper, it was still more than adequate, GOOD, even. Certainly good enough that Granny, Gramps, and Mom are not likely to notice. So cheap paper is not off the table for some print jobs. It's reasonably quiet and well built. My office area is right below my bedroom and I have no fear of it being heard up there. It's big and heavy and doesn't make the table it sits on wobble; it's rock solid. I like the large color LCD screen. I haven't had to clear any paper jams yet but access for clearing them is from the back and very easy to get to. The only negative I've encountered is that the auto select for which paper tray to use is unreliable. I've found that manually selecting the paper tray reduces the amount os swear words I use during the day! Go with the manual tray selection, or your kids will learn words you don't want them to know. I tried the scanner once, it works well, but is no better than any other all-in-one printer. I suspect all the printers of this type use the same type of scanner, possibly from the same manufacturer. You won't hate the scanner, but it's not going to stand out in your mind either. This is the perfect All-In-One printer for serious photographers on a budget who need to use paper that is 13 inches wide. If you can get by with standard letter size printer paper there is an almost identical printer that is a bit cheaper, but delivers all the other features of this one. (ET-8500) I am VERY happy with this printer, and I would buy it again, and I would recommend it to a friend. ... show more

  • Prints on many materials with great accuracy
The media could not be loaded. I've just started gathering the things I need to establish a crafts shop, where I plan to sell merch at cons and online. First, I would like to note that I swapped out the ink in the printer for 3rd party ink. If you plan to do this, IT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. I've had great success with the precision colors ET8550 Archival Pigment ink, though. (The ET8550 comes with 1 bottle of black pigment and 5 bottles of dye ink, so it is pigment ink compatible, but unfortunately no sellers on amazon provide pigment ink for this printer since it needs six total colors). If you do plan to use 3rd party ink, fill your printer with that ink and never mix inks. This printer is getting 5 stars from me for its printing quality, and compatible sizes, because that's what I cared most about as an aspiring merch creator. However, do read the rest of this review because there were some parts of it that are frustrating. Pros: - prints on many different materials (sticker paper, cardstock, holographic paper) - prints come out pretty fast for the most part - don't smudge (would depend on your material though) - lines are crisp and accurate to original (won't beat the truecolor series of course, but this are sale-worthy prints) Cons: - 3rd party ink is hard to fill into the printer (see video): if using a syringe expect it to bubble a bit no matter how slowly you fill it up - cleaning out nozzles is ATROCIOUS with ink usage: on first fill, every printerhead was clean except for gray. Gray printer diagnostics had just a few missing bars, but was 90% fine; however it printed lines during a test print I did. So I ran nozzle cleaning, and let me tell you, by the time I got the printer working without issue, it used up 3/4ths of my brand new ink which was full prior to beginning. Not cheap. The worst part is that only my gray nozzle had any problems, but when cleaning the nozzles, the machine will clean and use ink from EVERY tank. If I had known in advance, I would've also gone straight for the power clean, because it suggests you run 3-4 normal cleans before the power clean but those didn't help at all. - can't print on 2.5x3.5 cards directly (3.5x3.5 being the smallest supported size) - borderless printing gets *very* close to the edges-but still leaves a border at least in my case, so you will have to trim prints a smidge. If getting it exactly to the edges is necessary, it might be better to just buy a bigger paper size. - printing duplex won't align the back side with the front side with 100% accuracy. Overall, my biggest complaint was with the ink costs during setup due to a single faulty nozzle. I'm still rating it 5 stars though, because for the week since setup i've done many prints with not a single problem. Highly recommended for people looking to make and sell merch! ... show more
