A great printer with lower pricing

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.Ver más

JUNK, Cheaply built, Feed Scanner fails and falls apart in less than 5 months and only 4 uses.

Absolute piece of Junk!Built cheaply.Feed Scanner has never worked properly from my first scan (only did 4) and now falls apart completely, in the roller section. It falls out after it jammed for the 7th time today, this time with a SINGLE piece of paper.If you have a piece of paper that has a fold in it, forget about it. That will never feed through.I had 6 sheets I had to get out today, I had to do manually via the flat bed, both sides.It took 23 minutes to get done. Should not have taken 2.The last time I used it same issues but less sheets.The paper is SO TIGHT in the feed section it is hitting BOTH walls.You could not slip a piece of paper in there if you wanted too, most likely one of the reasons it does not feed correctly.While on the phone with support (I am right now, 4th call today and 3 emails of pictures they wanted later, the hoops they put you through is ridiculous!)Of course overseas support and has little to no knowledge of being Tech support, I asked for supervisors only to have my first call disconnect at 1 hour and 20 seconds.Then the next call was 24 minutes, then another 32 minutes and now this one still ongoing (56 minutes and still going).Now after 3 hours and 5 minutes, they are "holding" my credit card for 179.99 + tax to get a REFURB unit!So much for a 5 year Warranty.Oh they acted like it was out of date on Warranty, it has NOT been in EXISTENCE for 5 years , it came out in 2022.Did I fail to mention you WILL be dealing with Overseas people who have you repeat the same thing over and over and over and over again. They wonder why I was getting upset...hmmmm .As they pass you along the ranks you have to repeat EVERYTHING all over again.As I was on the phone and they were asking me to open WRONG doors to find the serial #, I lifted once again the Jam area and guess what, the parts fell out.Just PLOP!Other issues while I am at it, the Picture quality is "OK" nothing special.I bought it to save ink as HP gouges you to death and destroys your print head if you use a knockoff.The Ink has been "OK", but I haven't really had it long enough to tell as most everything has been Black and White, so all are still full except the Black (3.4's).Its a rear feed, I miss the HP draw on that, the print speed again is not fast, just OK. Though never really in a rush with it.I cant say it enough, this is cheaply built, and my experience with Tech Support was a HORRIFIC.I never like dealing with Over seas support as it is, but what they wanted pictures of as proof was mind blowing (pictures of the tubes that go to the ink wells? What does that have to do with the issue at hand.)The panel function is anything but user friendly.Firmware Updates, if not done, will prevent usage until done.You have to download and install ALMOST 30 different files, from drivers to firmware updates the list is endless. Never have I had to do that many of ALL printers I have had combined.Simple ZIP file and let it run on an executable file (EXE)like everyone else. That will take you over 2 hours to get all loaded.The ink wasn't bad seeing it needs to be primed first to work, I am not sure what will happen when the REFURB comes, will I get ink or just have to re-prime from the cartridges.The software for scanning is easy to use, though unnecessary, should just scan and auto save, or am I just spoiled by HP?But to send me a "REFURB" as a replacement on a 5 month old unit with a 5 year warranty is really being low.They did EVERYTHING they could to get me to NOT follow through in this return, you have ONLY 30 days on Amazon.You have been warned, I would look elsewhere, the tank issue is a great Idea, but if it doesn't work, what good does it do.

ET-4800 EZ PZ set up and start up. Prints and scans just fine

An excellent home printer. And why did I purchase such?I had an Epson WF-520 for nearly ten years. But neglect and lack of use caused the printer head to get gunked up. I cleaned the print heads using a solution of 95% Etoh and glass cleaner (about fifty/fifty), a syringe with a plastic tube attached and LOTS of paper towel strips. It was moderately successful but I was never able to get it back to like new printing.I looked over several new printers and wanted to stay with Epson because of ease of use (copy, scanning, printing). Seems as tank printers are the way to go these days. So I ordered the ET-4800. Got here in only a couple of days. Setup was pretty easy, just follow the instructions either via the documentation included or online version. I have pinted and scanned a color test page. I used the built in SmartScan feature without having to think about it much. I am quite satisfied with the results.By the way, there is no automatic two side printing. You actually have to get off your b---, take out the first printing, turn it over and refeed the stack. I was used to doing that with the old WF-520 and never had a problem.I will now set up a once a week, automatic scheduled printing task. I will just have to make sure there is paper on hand. Lack of use is the killer of these inkjet machines regardless of manufacturer.Ver más

Messy setup but prints are cheap

Morning crowd at my gym kept hogging the old printer, so I bought this Epson EcoTank for the break room to handle sign-up forms, trainer schedules, and the random “can u print this waiver” stuff. Once i filled the tanks and ran setup, it’s been cranking out black-and-white sheets like a workhorse. Ink costs feel way lower, and I don’t think about cartridges anymore. Wi-Fi printing from phones is handy for trainers running around between clients. Scanner works fine for contracts. What bugs me is the tiny screen and clunky menus. Changing settings or entering Wi-Fi info feels dated and slow. Fax is there, but we barely touch it. Still, it does the daily grind without whining.Ver más

Love This Color Printer!

I have been wanting a color printer for some time now, and I had done some research and picked this one. I love this printer! The set-up instructions were very easy to follow, and normally I struggle with printers and make my husband do it. Not this time! I was able to do it all by myself. I have been so impressed with the ink usage (or lack there of) with this printer. I have printed several things that have looked like they would use a ton of ink, but my ink levels have hardly gone down! It makes color printing fun and worth it again knowing that I am not spending a fortune on ink all the time. I have not had any issues with the paper jamming, and I have printed close to 100 pages now. I highly recommend this color printer!Ver más
