Epson 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!!

J’aurais aimer qu’elle imprime recto et verso, mais je n’avais pas porter attention. Sinon elle est très bonne et n’étais pas difficile à monter.

Great printing quality

I purchased this printer to replace a HP inkjet printer. I thought that the mega tank and other features would satisfy my needs. I liked the mega tank feature, I wouldn’t have to be replacing ink cartridges like the HP printer. What I didn’t like about the Epson ET 4800 printer was the lack of duplex printing and scanning to email or memory stick (usb), features that should be standard on all printers by now.

Works well.

This was the most complicated setup procedure I've ever experienced with an all-in-one printer/scanner/fax. Of course, who uses fax any more? The computer could not find the printer, so I had to use the tiny LCD screen on the printer to identify the wifi network and then manually enter the long Bell password. Instructions were sadly lacking for this procedure. Filling the ink tanks was easy; the bottles are self-emptying, but the magenta bottle dribbed some ink after being removed from the ink tank. We wanted an ink-tank printer because ink cartridges hold a ridiculous small amount of ink and are very expensive. Setting up the second laptop was much, much easier. The printer feels flimsy, but it feeds the paper OK and the print quality is outstanding. So if you can get past the complicated setup procedure, this printer should serve you well.
