Epson Expression Premium EcoTank Wireless 5-Color All-in-One Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier and Ethernet

Spent days researching printers trying to find something that would provide above average photo quality, inexpensive prints, and a decent scanning functionality. My first attempt was a Brother Inkvestment printer which had relatively low ink costs but the print quality was very poor (trees turned red, colors were washed out). I was very disappointed with that printer and couldn't find anything on Amazon with consistently positive reviews so decided to go into an electronics store to compare print quality. Found the ET-7750 which had very good photo samples in the store so decided to make the plunge and buy the printer on Amazon (they were having a sale for $550). Took about an hour to setup (all very easy and straightforward, but the ink took a while to load). Immediately tested a photo print on glossy photo paper and did a side by side with the Brother print saved from earlier. The quality is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Really stunning photos with deep saturated blacks (thanks to the photo blank ink). The scanner works well, the printer is fast, have had zero issues with wireless, and paper jams have been infrequent. Even better, have done 20 high quality photo prints and the ink is essentially unused. I can tell the long term ink costs on this printer will be minimal. The only improvement I would like is to the quality of the paper trays/paper handling but still find that it's okay (not as amazing as the rest of the printer but not a deal breaker). If you're looking for high quality photos, good text and graphics, good scanning, wireless, large format prints, and almost no ongoing ink costs, then this IS the printer.Unlike some people, I was not paid/did not get a free product to write this review :-)

This compact large-format EcoTank printer has a surprising number of fantastic features! The regular 8.5” x 11” paper tray is not very large capacity, but it’s easy to add more paper when needed, *plus* you can keep your smaller photo paper loaded at the same time and print photos with ease!I’ve recently discovered that Epson’s cloud printing functions are surprisingly easy to use, allowing you to print from your cloud folder or Dropbox literally from *anywhere* you have internet access. In other works, you can actually print from a coffee shop to your printer as long as the printer is turned on at home.Note: If you’ve forgotten, it will save documents in the cloud for printing at home once you turn it on when you get home.Another example of the cloud printing in action is that you can take a photo where you have cell coverage, access the cloud printing email address, and the photo will instantly be printed (on photo paper) at home while you are out-and-about.The inks? Color printing — even on photo paper — is surprisingly great. And lest you think color printing is expensive, think again! Because of the EcoTank ink tanks they go on, and on, and on, seemingly never running out! That said, when you go through the plentiful ink it’s *very* easy to refill cleanly and without hassle. They’ve designed the bottles to securely mate with the tops of the “tanks” so there is not any spilling or mess.I’m extremely pleased with my purchase!

The printer was a Christmas gift (12/25/2019). I've already gone through the first set of color inks and am close to using up the second set that was included in the box. It's now 1/13/2020. I've already gone through a maintenance cartridge and at half life on the second.The print quality is amazing. I've seen other reviews that say otherwise, and I don't understand their issue.I do mostly 2 sided printing of pdfs that I purchase online in order to have a hard copy. These consistent mostly of text on a colored background, with occasional graphics. I print these on 64 lb matte paper. The printout looks awesome, and rivals printed books.HOWEVER, I get constant paper jams. This occurs when the bottom of the first side contains a picture (or the whole page is a picture). The paper doesn't get fed correctly when it's being flipped, since the ink is still wet, and I get a fan folded paper clogging the rollers. It's pretty easy to remove now that I've moved my printer away from the wall. Its hit and miss where the printout will resume. If it tries to print the same page again, it will jam again, consistently.If the picture is on only one side of the bottom, then that side gets folded over more or less at 45 degrees, and the second side will be missing some of its text, as though the printer detected the page width based on where the fold started.The wet ink is definitely the problem. If I do these by hand (one sided), wait, and then flip them over myself and put them through a second time to print the back, it always works.There is a quality setting on the printer setup page. If this isn't set to high, it's hopeless. Setting this to high causes the page to print slower, which in turn allows more time for the ink to dry. Even set to high, I have the paper jam problem all the time.There is a "print density" adjustment you can make when printing 2 sided: Text, Text with Photo, Photo or Manual. The effect of these to change the drying time before printing the reverse side, and to control the amount of ink deposited on the page. Manual allows control of each of these setting individually.I have set the wait time to max, 60 seconds. This makes the printing unnecessarily slow since most pages don't need that kind of wait time, but better than paper jams, I guess. I still get paper jams, just not quite as many. If I turn down the print density enough, it will eventually work, but at the cost of getting worse quality printout.So my choice: manually print and collate any pages in the pdf that might cause a paper jam, or use my brand new sparkling $550 printer to print low quality images I could have gotten with the $50 printer I had.It seems to me the solution is simple: dynamic drying time. The printer driver controls the amount of ink that it is distributing on the page. Why not change the wait time for each page based on the amount of ink put on that page (even better, on the bottom of the page, since that what really matters in this case)? For pages where it distributes more ink, increase the drying time accordingly. For other pages, lower the drying time as needed.I guess you could do it that way, but you'd have to find someone more than 10 years old to design your software. If that sounds like a bitter retort, you are right. I am very very very disappointed with this purchase.I gave 1 star because I can't go lower. I don't see how this product deserves a star at all!
