EcoTank ET-4800 Wireless All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier, Fax, ADF and Ethernet – Ideal-for Your Home Office, White

I am quite happy with my ET-4800 purchase. From wirelessly connecting to my Mac to software installation to adding the ink, it was easy to set up. I feel you can't go wrong with this level of ink capacity. It holds so much ink without the bother and added expense of frequently replacing cartridges. I will never go back to a cartridge machine. I don't care who makes it! I've used my printer several times so far, and each time it has done a great job by giving me the colors and clarity that I expected. This is the first printer that I've owned that wasn't a front-feeder. I wasn't sure how I would like that, but I've found that holding the paper straight and then dropping it into the slot rather than placing it, gives the best result for paper alignment. For my needs, I have only used it one sheet of paper at a time. So if you are wanting to load several sheets at once, your loading experience may be different from mine. But just make sure that you do not load more than 100 sheets at a time, per the manufacturer's instructions. Also, be sure that the movable paper guides are in the correct spots for the size of paper being used, without any buckling. To date, I have not used the scanner, but it is definitely a feature that I did not want to be without, so I'm looking forward to using it. The display window, though small, is simple to follow along with, and I appreciate that the angle of the keypad can be adjusted. Working with the Epson Smart Panel app gives a bit more flexibility, particularly if you're not right next to your printer and want to check the ink levels or start a printing job. To use the app, be sure that you turn on your printer first and that both the printer and your device are set to the same wi-fi, so that the app can find your printer and you can begin operating it from afar. Once inside of the app, be sure to check out the "Other Features Menu" from the app's homescreen. There is a link to another Epson app that can be used to boost your creativity and streamline layouts for collages, and a colorful guide full of project ideas that outline everything that you need for each project and how to execute them. There's even a feature for sharing what you've scanned and submitting it as an assignment. This is something that you'd want to read more about to see if it is an applicable and helpful addition for you. You can use the search term, "google classroom in epson smart panel app," to find out more. There is only one downside that I have found at this point. The pull-out paper catching tray in the front feels flimsy. It seems out of place on an otherwise sturdy machine. But so far, I've had no problems with it. I just take my time pulling it out, flipping down the end, folding it back up, and pushing the tray back in. I figure if I baby it a bit, then all should be well. Overall, I really like the Epson ET-4800 as much as my ET-5170. I feel it performs well at an acceptable price point.

bought the Epson EcoTank ET-4800 after getting tired of constantly buying overpriced ink cartridges for my old printer. After doing a bit of research, the idea of refillable ink tanks really appealed to me—and I’m honestly glad I made the switch. Setup was pretty easy, even for someone who’s not super tech-savvy. The instructions were clear, and filling the ink tanks was way less messy than I expected. It even came with enough ink to last me months (maybe longer), which already makes it feel like a smart investment. I use this mostly for work-from-home tasks and occasional school stuff for the kids. The print quality is crisp for both black and white and color documents. I’ve printed everything from reports to coloring pages and even some photos—it’s not professional photo quality, but more than good enough for home use. Things I really like: Super affordable to run. Haven’t had to think about buying ink since I got it. All-in-one convenience. Scanning and copying are a breeze, especially with the automatic document feeder. Wireless printing. I can print from my laptop or even my phone, which has been really handy. A few drawbacks: It doesn’t do automatic double-sided printing—you have to flip the pages yourself. It’s not the fastest printer, especially if you’re printing a lot of color pages. The build is pretty lightweight plastic, so it doesn’t feel ultra-premium—but it gets the job done. All in all, it’s been a reliable and budget-friendly addition to my home office. If you're someone who prints regularly and wants to avoid the cartridge money pit, I’d definitely recommend giving the ET-4800 a try.

This printer is HORRIBLE!!! I've owned it for 60 days, 30 days past the return period, and the more I use it, the worse the printer quality is ... so now I'm stuck as AI says Epson will not accept returns based on a manufacturing defect when purchased through an Amazon seller! Thirty days (per the Amazon seller policy) was simply not enough time to properly learn/test the machine. I'm having two major issues and have two machine design complaints. First the design complaints. (1) The 1" x 1" display window is way too small and requires too many clicks to get anything done. PLUS, when you are done setting/changing the settings, the "OK" button is supposed to signify being done but it just repeats itself over and over. It never actually seems to accept the setting. It beeps "Invalid" with nearly everything I try to do!! (2) The machine is advertised as having "two-sided" copying capability ... but it's MANUAL!! You have to manually refeed the paper through and reinstruct the printer to print on the back side. Given that situation, ANY PRINTER could advertise two-sided copying!! Here are the two manufacturer defaults I'm dealing with. I wasted over an hour on the phone with Epson support to try to fix them both, but she was worthless. She was reading from a manual trying to figure it out herself!! She clearly had no idea what she was doing so I eventually just hung up. (1) From the very beginning using this printer, I noticed very faint white lines on all pages printed/copied and tried to fix it through the machines "Maintenance" check. Not only could I not get it fixed with a Nozzle Check or Print Head Alignment, but the white lines just keep getting thicker and thicker! They're so thick now I couldn't possibly use anything it prints! (Note: A salesperson at Staples said it probably has a defective roller) (2) The machine also has some kind of glitch that we can't clear after changing the settings to print 5" x 7" envelopes. I've changed the paper source/type settings back to "Letter" and "Plain Paper" but it still won't print without forcing me to work around the glitch. I get an error message that says "Printing is suspended due to paper mismatch." The Epson support tech tried to tell me it's because I'm feeding the paper in wrong!! THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FEED THE PAPER!! What was she talking about??!! I'm so frustrated that we wasted our hard-earned money on this piece of junk (potentially a non-disclosed refurbished unit by the seller) ... and now I have to spend EVEN MORE money buying a new printer!!

Printer Review from an Artist. Printer cost with a 3-year extended warranty - $199.00. Came with four full bottles of Ink. Each bottle was huge, and enough to completely fill up the tanks. In my old Epson printer that used Epson 127 Ink Cartridges a cartridge held 8ml of ink. The cost per cartridge for the XL Black was $31.00 on Amazon. In comparison, a bottle of ink for the tank printer costs $15.00 and holds 65ml. The Epson 127 Ink Cartridge is rated at 175 pages for the XL cartridge and the Tank Printer is rated at 4500 pages per bottle of ink. So, the difference in cost is striking. Unboxing the printer was simple enough. The printer weighs about half the weight of my old Epson printer. The new printer does not have printer drawers but, back feed only. This actually worked out well for me since I was constantly taking the paper in out and out of the drawers when changing paper size. Also, with this direct paper feed, I figure it will handle my heavier weight card stock paper that I use for my art and greeting cards. To my great surprise, the printer offers two-sided printing. This is really handy when printing my Zines. The printer setup was extremely easy as they recommend a phone app, that walks you through each step with pictures. And it communicated perfectly with the phone for the setup. It takes about 15 minutes to completely set up the printer. I have learned to not rush setup. Take your time, and follow the instructions step by step, Which include filling the tanks. Features, * The printer dues Dual-Sided Print - Great for zines. * It has fax capability, but we do not have a landline, so that will not be used. * It does copying, with a document feeder or you can lift the feeder and place the document on the glass. * I mostly use my Epson Precision San copier but it is nice if you wish to make a quick copy of a document. * Some reviews complained about the very small LED display but I find that by using the app or computer I can control all that I need to do. Print Alignment. I did this test but the printer heads did not require any alignment. During the setup process, the program installs the printer driver on my computer. However I found it to be the very basic driver, and I went to the Epson Website and downloaded and installed the latest driver which is very robust and has all the settings that I needed. The printer's footprint is smaller than my old printer. And my old printer had two paper drawers, though I never used the second drawer. Negatives. The output tray is flimsy and seems like it would easily break if bumped when I walked past the printer, so I have to be careful about this. So far I do not see a way of checking the ink levels from the computer. And they said in the instructions to be sure to check your ink levels. You can see on the front of the printer, where you can see the ink levels. When you purchase more ink, you can attach the bottle and it will not overfill the tanks, and you can then use more ink from the bottle later. So I will purchase a complete set of ink and keep it and as it runs low with about 1/4 left in the tank, I will just fill it up. So far I am very happy with the investment and now printing and ink cost is not a major factor. And I figure I will do a lot of printing with this printer when the holiday season rolls around for my greeting cards. As for print quality, I will need to report on this later, though there were no negative reviews of print quality. A test print on regular paper and the colors seemed to be spot on. One note, I still will continue to use my Canon Pro-300 Wide Printer for my Fine Art Prints, but the new Tank Printer will be my studio workhorse.

Solid printer. Setup was fairly easy. Loading the ink tanks was very easy and drip-free. Image quality and speed are great. My only complaint is that this listing indicates 'Dual-side printing: Yes' and 'Duplex: Auto' There is no duplex printing. The driver can print odds, then you need to flip the stack and reload it, and then print evens. But no auto-duplex like I have used for years on other printers. It's not the end of the world, but it was a feature on my checklist that I thought I was buying. I should've done more research, but Amazon should fix the false advertising here.

Our Canon multi function printer finally died so I was looking for a replacement. I was looking at the usual suspects...HP, Epson, Canon. As soon as I started looking at cost per page, I came across this EcoTank printer that has the ink you fill manually. It had great reviews so I went for it. Setup was easy and the print quality seems pretty good! I read that the nozzles can clog if it's not used frequently, but we have yet to experience that. We haven't had to buy a refill yet either. I will report back when I do. Also like the ADF and scanner portion. It works well. And the LCD is a bonus, even though you can use the Epson app.

Recieved our new printer on Jan. 6th 2025. Set it all up and programing was very easy! Connected it to our wifi and to our phones and computers. All is working well! Prints very nice! A little pricey, but it does print, scan and fax, so we will see how this printer does in the coming months!

This Epson ET 4800 printer is all talk and not that much in performance. It's a lot of money to pay for dull color rendition and grey scale print instead of a true black and at lest bright colors! To say I'm underwhelmed is a fair assessment. What you save in the future purchase price of print cartridge refills, you give up in print quality. I've adjusted the Black and White and color density to the maximum and the print is still more grey than black, and the color rendition is pale and faded. This product doesn't live up to the advertising hype and In my opinion, really isn't worth the money! This is my second Epson printer and I'm done with the brand!
