Customers like the print quality of the printer. They say it's a good printer for personal use, but not for business purposes. The photo print quality on glossy paper is good color but noticably grainy. However, some customers are satisfied with the ink efficiency, have had no issues printing or scanning via WiFi, and appreciate the decent driver and software with plenty of presets.

Customers have different views on the double-sided printing. Some find it easy to use and smooth, with no problems. Others mention that it doesn't offer automatic double-sided printing, which is disappointing given its eco-friendly claim.

"...It prints double sided also. I am more than happy to give anything I print to anyone who I believe should find it much more than acceptable...." Read more

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2025Style Name: ET3850Pattern Name: Without Additional Ink MultipackVerified PurchaseFirst time I have ventured into printing with refillable ink and I must say I am very impressed. I have had many Epson printers all with cartridges. I have always bought compatible ones and have constantly dodged warnings, naggings and refusing to print because of it, and they never lasted that long anyway. This is a game changer. The reservoir is huge compared to the cartridges offering up to 72 cartridges worth (they say) of ink. And you get this included with your order. Even when pricing original Epson ink it will work out cheaper and no nagging. Plus, you are doing your bit for the environment and giving the manufacturer all the money to invest. True the printer is a lot dearer but will work out just as cheap or cheaper if you are keeping it for the duration. The actual filling with ink is a doddle. The bottles have been ingeniously designed from the ground up to fit each tank individually. They don’t spill and the ink stops flowing when enough ink is in the tank. I was a bit apprehensive about doing this initially but it’s easy and not messy in the slightest.
Epson have put a lot of effort into setting up their EcoTank models. You can install it perfectly and easily from new by downloading the setup APP to your smartphone. This communicates with the printer from the outset and expertly guides you through the whole initial set up process with pictures and confirmations at each stage. Leaving you with an initialised product ready for connection to your computer. This to is easy as it links itself to a specific setup page just for the model and does all the work for you just by responding to the questions. Mine was a Windows 11 installation. Very clever and very simple. It all takes a bit of time but patience is a virtue.
The new software is good too. One example is organising scans from the scanner. The software is intuitive. Organising pages is easy and it can even intelligently rotate pages. This more or less does away with spending a lot more on double sided scanning as there is so little effort in just popping the pages back on the ADF knowing there is minimal effort needed for sorting.
It takes up a small footprint for the amount it does. It is relatively light as well. It does feel a little plasticky but I don’t think so much so that it will fall apart. It just appears functional and is. The screen is small and is not touch meaning you have to keep pressing buttons and then okaying. Shame I would have loved the touch screen so much better. Also, when you lift the scanner unit it only holds in place when you force it upward so that it locks. I found this nerve racking as I thought it might break, I am sure this could be better manufactured.
I will not be printing photos on it. For me it is meant for office type documents and they have all printed really well so far. It prints double sided also. I am more than happy to give anything I print to anyone who I believe should find it much more than acceptable. I do use decent paper.
Perhaps the only down side is it seems to be a little slow in everything it does. Don’t get me wrong in no way a deal breaker for me but if you were in the office and want everything at speed then perhaps another model may better suit.
I note some people are reporting a WiFi issue mine worked straight away although I cannot know yet whether this will come to haunt me. But there is the 5 year warranty which Epson are currently offering on their EcoTank models.
Overall, I am extremely pleased so far. Far better than my Epson’s of old in terms of hardware, ink printing and software. A great upgrade. At this stage I am glad I bought it. My major gripe was Amazon reducing the price 2 days after I bought it.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 September 2023Style Name: ET3850Pattern Name: Without Additional Ink MultipackVerified PurchaseBuild Quality
The EcoTank ET-3850 feels pretty well-built. The automatic document feeder on top is probably the only part that isn't sturdy and feels a bit thin and flimsy, and it squeaks when moved. The design is fairly user-friendly, as it allows easy access to the ink tanks and paper jams. Be warned though that the scanner’s lid doesn’t have a dampener, so it'll slam shut if you don’t raise it slowly and make sure it’s in the locked position.
Ink
The Epson ET-3850 has four refillable ink tanks that yield a large number of prints, meaning it is a perfect choice for high printing volumes. It's easy to see the ink levels from the front of the printer. However, it is important to keep an eye on the ink levels as letting the ink levels run too low or emptying the tank can introduce air bubbles into the print tubes and damage the printer.
Print Quality
Print quality is pin sharp for black and white documents. Coloured is still good, although not as impressive as the black and white due to some graininess. It is still head and shoulders above a previous all-in-one printer I had.
App Features
The Epson Smart Panel app is very useful to have. It allows you to print, copy, scan (You can scan with both the scanner on the printer itself and scan something from your phone's camera). You can also carry out most maintenance tasks from the app, including nozzle checking and print head cleaning.
Overall
I considered several printers, including a Canon Pixma model, but decided with the ET-3850 in the end - while both offered outstanding page yields and low costs per print, the Epson was both faster at printing and produced higher-quality scans.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2024Style Name: ET3850Pattern Name: Without Additional Ink MultipackVerified PurchaseI bought this to replace a previous Epsom Eco-Tank printer that died on me and I wanted one with a document feeder. It arrived on time. I did struggle with setting it up and watched a you-tube video for guidance. I got so far and then it would allow me to go no further. As it started printing I thought there was nothing more to do but I noticed my computer was disconnecting from the internet continually. The installation process, as if by magic, started again and completed the process and the disconnection issues stopped. At the moment it is still printing wirelessly without problems but from my experience of wireless printers they usually stop printing wirelessly and you have to attach a cable.
Print quality is fine. It's a bit slower than an old HP printer I keep as back up but the quality is OK for my purposes. The main benefit is that the ink lasts a long time and you don't have to change expensive cartridges regularly.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2024Style Name: ET4800Pattern Name: Without Additional Ink MultipackVerified PurchaseI’ve recommended many Epson EcoTank printers to my clients, and I own one myself—and I’m still amazed by how economical it is! Believe it or not, I’ve been printing for over three years and haven’t had to buy any ink yet. The EcoTank system is a game-changer for anyone who prints frequently.
While the printers can feel a bit flimsy, the functionality more than makes up for it. Out of all the models, I’d recommend the ET-4850 for its added features like a bottom paper tray, automatic document feeder, and touchscreen. It’s incredibly practical and reliable for both home and office use. If you’re looking for an economical and feature-packed printer, you won’t be disappointed with an EcoTank!
