Epson EcoTank ET-8550 A3 Print/Scan/Copy Wi-Fi Photo Ink Tank Printer, With Up To 2 Years Worth Of Ink Included

Product Information

However, what sets the printer apart from something like Epson's SureColor printers is the efficiency of the EcoTank printer. The Epson EcoTank ET-8550 is a pleasure to use thanks to the large intuitive touchscreen interface and smooth, quiet operation. MODERN FLEXIBILITY - with full Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and Ethernet connectivity, you can easily integrate this printer with your existing home set-up, You can also print from SD cards and USB flash drives through the 10. This isn’t quite as many as you’ll get from replacement inks, because although they’re the same size, a fair amount of ink is used during the initialisation process.

When you’re using the straight path, you can only use that option for printing; with the paper feed unit removed, any attempts to print from another source will toss the paper out the back of the printer. I have been using the auto duplex function from both my desktop (via setting in the print dialog) and mobile (via Android) since day one with no issues.The grey ink that most other printers lack gives the Epson EcoTank ET-8550 a real advantage when it comes to rendering black and white photos. If so, might doing that bring any greater benefit over (say) trying/using some OTHER paper-maufacturer's ET-8550 ICC paper profile of a-very-similar-but-non-Hahnemuhle-paper? The main A4 paper tray can only take a maximum of 100 sheets, so if you print a lot of documents it will need regular refilling. The Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR delivers a 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view and stands out due to its small size and weather-resistant build. When it's to refill the tank, the printer stops printing and will only resume when you've refilled the tank or reset the ink levels in the settings menu.

I have told the printer what paper I am using and using the EPSON own layout app in Windows I set the ICC as recomended and still the quality is nice and sharp but the colours look like MUD. The Epson EcoTank ET-8550 A3+ Colour Multifunction Inkjet Printer is an innovative and reliable printer that is ideal for home or office use.Other than this upper limit of paper thickness, we experienced no other misprints or paper jams and would say that overall it handles all kinds of paper very well.

Its integrated A4 scanner has an optical resolution of up to 1,200 x 4,800 dpi and the handy touch screen interface allows for easy setup and maintenance. I believe that the discernible qualitative difference between this and the P Series is there, but from normal viewing distances the ET-8550 output would probably hold-up fine for my intended (non- art gallery) audience.

I have been using Canon PIXMA Printers in the past, but I’ve not been happy with the reliability of the Canon’s.

The six ink tanks are purpose-built and fully integrated into the printer so you can enjoy reliable printing, scanning and copying functions without any mess or hassle. I will not be printing a lot but would like excellent photo quality printing and longevity for pictures printed and display in frames. However, the Epson is a photo printer that prints significantly better pictures, while the Canon is more of a general office printer with more features, like an ADF and duplex scanning. Yes, the Epson EcoTank ET-8550 supports A4 media as well as A3+, A3, A5, A6, B5, B6, Envelopes (C6, DL, No.If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget. Unlike most supertank printers, the ink tank's tubing mechanism is in a protected area, so it's out of the user's way when removing paper jams. Regarding the cost per print, the ET-15000 yields more prints, and its replacement ink is cheaper, so it costs less to maintain over time than the ET-8550.
