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

When I displayed glossy and luster comparison prints made on the ET-8500, the XP-15000, and the Pro-200, most viewers said that there wasn’t a bad print in the group, and no one could reliably pick out one model’s prints as better than others. It’s not completely comparable; you’ll spend more on ink with a 10-ink printer than a six- or eight-color one, but it gives you a good idea about roughly how much you’ll spend to print. In the event of an item not being available via this service, we will endeavour to contact you at the earliest opportunity. But, and the size of the "but" here depends upon how tightly-fitted your own perfectionist cap is, the colors aren't strictly accurate.

The Epson ET-8550 is great for printing black-and-white documents as it produces high-quality prints at a decent pace, and its ink tank yields thousands of pages, making it very cost-effective for high-volume printing.It’s a vast improvement over the results achieved by Epson’s four-colour A4 EcoTank ET-2750, but both the A3 Canon Pixma PRO-200 and the Canon Pixma G650 produced more balanced results. There are maintenance functions built-in to resolve any clogging issue, like printhead nozzle check, printhead cleaning, and power clean. This printer has six tanks for cyan, magenta, yellow, gray, black (pigment), and photo black (dye) ink. You can connect to the printer via Wi-Fi or USB, and it supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service. There’s a large colour touchscreen interface, both SD Card and USB Host slots, and enough ink in the box to print 2,300 photos.

The online manual and the help screens on the touchscreen display weren’t much help either, but I noticed a small QR code to the left of the row of graphics, which led me to a languid YouTube video 3 I’m not joking; check it out. These were the first EcoTank printers to offer a six-color print engine tuned for printing photos, while also offering high-quality document printing and scan/copy support. People like bright colors because they attract attention and generally look how we remember things looking.But when I want to print a black and white image, no ABW comes up as an option, just "black and white photo.
