Personally I prefer the ET18100 - it uses 6 ink tanks but unlike the 8550 it doesn't use 2 blacks and a grey, which makes the glossiest and vibrant colour photos I have seen in a LONG time.

Epson Ecotank ET18100 and there is an A4 equivalent but not sure of the model number. 6 colour including photo cyan and photo magenta. Once again, Ecotank. It will print thousands of great photos upto A3 and the gloss from the inks is just on another level - SO. MUCH. GLOSSSSSS!!!! 😍

Very wrong. Tank inkjet printer + inkjet photo paper + a cable for your computer. Especially Epson ecotanks, canon mega tanks. Print a lot, 3rd party refills are cheap and no issue with chips. Sure there are a lot of predatory printers out there, but there are still plenty of other options. Don’t touch anything HP.

I've also noticed my canon g7020 prints better pictures then Epson ECOTANK I also noticed the canon G7020 sits better not printing for 1 week at a time vs the Epson I also noticed my canon has no expiration on the ink. But the Epson is like 2-3 years.

I have an ecotank for printing documents. They are not well suited for making photographic prints

I love my epson ecotank printer. There’s lots of sticker makers that use it and you can find reviews on YouTube. Ink is cheaper too than buying cartridges. Comes in bottles.

I have an ecotank. Its slow and not the best quality print but you can print a lot on one bottle of ink and thats what i care about

Epson EcoTank (ET) printers are the way to go. The teacher will really, really, really appreciate the very inexpensive cost per page because the ink is so inexpensive.

I have an epson eco tank that I use for an entire line of prints that have quite dark colors. I really like it! That said, I have to do a little bit of tweaking pre-print so they don’t turn out *too* dark and lose their contrast. I usually raise the brightness by anywhere from 20-50% and they do just fine.
