I like this printer, for relatively new technology on a consumer market I think Epsom does it best, I don't know that you are getting beautiful photos out of this but for everyday use it's great and as long as it lasts a few years the ink money you save will pay off the machine.

Well, the ET has proven to be a workhorse, with ink costing lower than those that utilise cartridge ink. Setup was basic, due to its size, placement was very easy. My faith is in the Epson brand as we had one for 13 long years. The idea around the ability to refill the ink reservoirs is also what attracted me to this model. In addition, you can save further dosh by taking part in the Good Guys reward system. The size is very manageable and the quietness of the printer was a positive surprise. This will most definitely serve the requirements of 3 high school students with the utmost of ease. Operation is very easy. I am very happy with our purchase even with a higher than normal price. This will pay for itself due to no cartridge purchasing. Recommend for sure!

The eco tank ink is great I printed out a whole book and the ink levels hardly went down at all

Double sided printing

Best thing (only thing) I like about the Epson ET-2850 is the ink saving ability. Unfortunately, I am so disappointed in it I plan to move back to a Canon printer for ease of use. Printing photos from my Android phone not only is a time-consuming and multi-stepped process, requiring the user to return to the printer to keep pressing OK or Start, but also the photo reproduction is very poor. Printing a photo for my art class produced a purple version of my landscape. The colours are not true. Printing from my PC is direct and produces very sharp black text images. The controls on the front are difficult to see and too many steps are required to just say PRINT the damn thing! The control panel is tiny and in an awkward position requiring the user to sit in front of the printer or squat down if your knees are better than mine, to be able to see what you are supposed to push next. I am selling it as soon as possible and replacing it with a Canon printer as my experience with them has alway...
