Epson ET-3850 (with EcoTank) is much better and easier to use than HP cartridge printer. Also, easy setup with tutorial. No more buying expensive cartridges. The Epson Driver and GUI is much better than HP's too. I always had an issue with HP printer disconnecting from the WiFi intermittently and will need to reconnect it at times. Epson ET-38550 drivers are more stable, and I do not have this disconnection issue. Overall, it is a "must have" purchase to get out of buying ink cartridge and annoyance of the disconnection issues with HP printer.

Excellent printer. Easy to set up and use. Scanning to computer is an exceptional feature. Printing is fast and quiet. Recommend to anyone looking for a quality printer for their home office.

setup is a breeze, I hardwire all my devices for security in my location. consumables and paper are nothing out of the ordinary, wanted a compact, reliable printer for personal office use. fits the bill

So I've been trying for years to buy ink cheaply. I need a printer about once a week, either for copying or printing, so not a daily work horse. This print was on sale for $259 and I snapped it up. It prints great but... on normal speed, it is fast enough but the print is slightly lighter than wanted or colors are not as bright as should be so I print on vivid or high or medium high depending on the choice and the print quality goes to great but the speed goes to OK. If I am doing a total print page, I go normal or even draft and it is good, if I need color, I always choose higher quality by a step and it takes twice as long for a good quality print. So after a couple of years, yes mine is 2 years old, it was sitting for a while and the magenta stopped working. I did a cleaning a couple of times and it didn't work, so I did a deep cleaning and it cleared whatever was the issue. Afterwards, I looked further into it and found out that deep cleaning throws a lot of ink through the printer head and it had to go somewhere, right? Well there is a tank in the back that it goes to and that tank fills up, once it does, the printer will not clean anymore. I found out that you can... buy a replacement (even though it is not considered a consumer replaceable item, it is easy enough but... that cost a bit. And you can do the messy cleaning of the tank that is there. Either way, you should try to avoid "deep cleaning" unless you absolutely have to. Do a print head cleaning several times before resorting to deep cleaning as there are about 3 times before the overflow is full. Use your printer a few time a week printing a color page to keep them from gumming up. Other than those two things, I love this printer as it is the first time I don't worry about running out of ink or not having a working cartridge or buy cartridges, etc... This printer save me from all the hell I would go through with printers just to have a printer or copier when I needed it rather than going to Staples, OfficeDepot, or Fedex, which I would resort to when complications came up and my printer didn't work. I have not had that issue since having the EcoTank. I have bottles of ink and never let the tanks go below 1/2.

I absolutely love my Epson ET-3850, gorgeous color prints for all of the digital graphics I create. I will never go back to a cartridge ever again, nor will I ever buy another brand again! Again, I love my ET 3850!

This printer is amazing and setup was a breeze. Downloaded the app and ran it after powering on printer as instructed. Within 15 mins I had everything setup. This included loading the ink cartridges and connected to wife through the app. This printer is awesome and it seems the ink will last a very good while. I have suspicion that most negative reviews here are fake, not all, but most.
