Review: Highly recommended - This printer has been absolutely faultless and is easily one of the best purchases I’ve made. I use it constantly and it never skips a beat. Print quality is excellent with sharp detail, smooth gradients, and very accurate colours, even on larger A3+ prints. Whether printing photos, graphics, or everyday work, the results are consistently professional. The EcoTank system is a huge plus – ink lasts a long time and running costs are very low compared to cartridge printers. Setup was straightforward, Wi-Fi connection is stable, and it integrates well with different devices. Paper handling is solid and reliable, even with heavier or specialty media. It’s quiet, fast enough for regular use, and feels well built. Maintenance has been minimal despite heavy use, which says a lot about its reliability. If you’re looking for an A3+ printer that delivers quality, efficiency, and long-term value, this one is an easy recommendation. Would 100% buy again.
Review: Good all round printer - I do photography and wanted an A3 photo printer, but also for it to be able to copy (A4), scan (A4), and print normal text paper (eg letters, office papers, etc). This printer does it all, with the advantage of cheap inks. I had a designated photo printer but it was not good for normal text paper, as it uses far too much ink. So I needed a second printer to print letters etc. When both printers died, I did a huge amount of research, then tested a friends ET-8550 and was hugely impressed. This printer really does it all. Photos are excellent, with good colour rendition especially if printed via Photoshop so that you can use the various colour profiles. Just turn off 'printer manages colour' to do this. A3 and A4 photo paper can be fed via the rear tray to save bending the paper. I haven't yet used the straight feed for Fine Art papers yet, but should be easy enough. Just remove the back panel and it will glide straight through. Text, letters, and what I call 'office' paperwork can be printed easily and at reasonable speed. Perhaps not so good if printing a lot of papers as the paper tray only holds up to 30 sheets, but is good for normal home use. As others have mentioned, the ink tanks are easy to fill (ink bottles each have a different shape surrounding the nozzle so can only be fitted to the correct hole). Just put the bottle in the the right hole and it will fill. No need to squeeze or anything. Once filled just remove and keep the lid on if any left in the bottle. I only use Epson genuine Claria inks. I have tried 'compatibles' in the past and they wrecked the printer head resulting in having to buy a new printer. Whilst the genuine Epson inks are more expensive, the photos last a long time with no fading or colour bleeding. Photos are excellent, and are good enough quality for competitions. The one thing I'm not impressed with is the 'advertising' from Epson regarding the number of photos being able to be printed on one set of inks. It states 2300 photos, although elsewhere it states 1800 photos. Well yes it does, but if you hunt and research you will find that number is for 15cm x 10cm prints. That is 1/4 sheet of A4. If you print a full A4 photo, you can print 450 - 575, depending on the colours of the photos. This is still 10x more than most photo printers, and makes for very economical printing, but saying 2300 could be a bit misleading for some people. Obviously A3 will use twice the amount of ink, so 225 - 288 A3 photos. My old photo printer could only manage 20-40! Scanning is easy using the Epson ScanSmart programme, which is downloaded when you set up the printer. Talking of which, I removed 24-30 blue tapes from inside and around the printer when setting it up. They hold everything in place for transport, but you must remove them all before use. Do look inside, around the back, everywhere! They could stop the printer from setting up correctly. I set up manually from my tower computer, but have also used the automatic and wi-fi from my laptop. Both are easy to do if you follow the instructions. I have connected to my computer via USB, and also set up wi-fi so I can print from my laptop, both of which work well. There is also an ethernet port if you wish to connect via that. One thing which took me a while to find was the receiving tray closure. It opens automatically when printing to receive the paper, but to close it you can gently push it back in, but it is very very stiff. Or... go to the touchscreen and touch the close button, and hey presto it closes! I wish Epson would tell us! All in all a really good printer, and yes I would recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Printer
*by A***R on 23 August 2025*

This printer is excellent. Set up is very easy. The on machine led window is an illuminated touch screen which hinges out to almost horizontal for easier use and has all controls I need. Colour reproduction is accurate and the images are really sharp. The tank ink lasts for a very long time I have printed a large number of A3 and A4 prints and the lowest tank ink level is only half full. I have used Affinity and Epson software and both are really good and Epson's is free. Tank filling is easy with the refill bottles keyed so that you can't fill the wrong tank. The scanner is just like any other on-board printer scanner. If you want to print A3+ prints there is a rear of the printer slot for paper infeed which means you have to have a lot of space behind the printer. Up to A3 size paper is fed in at the rear of the top paper feeder which is pulled out. It has A4 paper tray and a CD printing tray in the front. When starting printing the outfeed tray is automatically driven out to the correct distance for the print size. When the printer is switched off this tray automatically retracts in. I highly recommend this printer as it's the best I have ever owned and I've been buying printers for many years from the dot matrix times. I'll never go back to cartridge printers as they're too expensive to run.
