Epson - Expression ET-2750 EcoTank All-in-One Supertank Printer

Based on overall costs, I’m currently enjoying the epson eco tank printers. They tend to cost more upfront, but the ink cost makes up for it. The et-2850 while over budget, closer to $300-350, will print duplex automatically for you if that’s important. I also find that mine et-2750 prints images well, especially in best quality mode.  I only use mine about once a week and have had no problems with the print head drying out.

I agree, Epson is sketchy and here is why I say that; I have three EPSON eco tank printers, a 2720, a 2750 and a 2850. The 2720 has always ink head clog issues, and now it also has paper feed issues. The 2850 wifi chip fried after about 1 year. and now wired networking stopped functioning. It will still print direct from the desktop it's plugged into. The 2750 still works great but now it's been replaced by the 2850 POS.

Roller marks problem how to fix: Get better quality paper (also some printers if you select thick paper on configurations, also make it leave less roller marks, don't know if this is the case). Or Get a printer that is more focused for photos. (right now the cheapest are the canon G5/6XX series). If you don't find them, then the Epson ET8500/8550 (they do still leave some roller marks but with better quality paper they are fine). Or the epson ET 8100/18100 (it's ink does not have lightfastness). I only recommend ink tank printers for most uses cases. If you are going for pro level printing and going to sell them for high price then there are the Canon Pixma Pro Line, and Epson Surecolor p700/900. About your brother, well i don't recommend because it's a cartridge printer(seriously this black that you used could easily be like 3-5% of all of it's black ink). I would return if still possible. And purchase any ink tank.(If you won't print like 40+ documents pages or 5+ photos a month then it's a fine printer, more than this only if you convert it for ciss or use somekind of compatible cartridge). Edit: Ohh and about consumer level printer that you want mostly for documents, and then some photos. Canon Megatank GXXXX series. And Epson ET 2/4XXX series, then you will compare price and what they offer, like duplex, in case of epson a4 borderless as well. IF you want fewer features but better photos, some epson have 4 dye ink that are better for printing on cheaper glossy ink (you can check if their black tank is the same size as the colored tanks, if it is the same size then it's ink is dye).

Epson PM-400 prints multiple sizes up to 5x7. The print app is easy to use. Ink cartridge is an all in one and cost about $35 for 100 prints which is the average number of prints per cartridge. It prints on anything that will work in an ink jet. It's a great portable small printer and I have one for crops. At home I use an Epson Eco Tank. I've had it 4 years this Christmas and have only bought ink refills once. I print all my pictures at home. It is an all in one print/copy/scan. Photos are excellent quality and resolution. It doesn't print bigger than 8.5x11.

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.

Ecotank is garbage for photo prints

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

I have Epson eco tank, but it doesn’t print in “high quality “ as you describe. I’d suggest printing your things somewhere like FedEx, they have great prices for their quality

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.

For about the same cost as a mini printer, you could get something like an Epson Ecotank, and then you have your choice of photo paper, which means you can also choose the finish, thickness, quality, etc. And a pack of 8.5x11 photo paper is MUCH cheaper than the cartridges or mini papers that go into the mini printers. It gives you the flexibility to make the pictures as big or as small as you want, and you just have to cut them out. For example my junk journal is about 5.5"x8.5", and I can turn photos into full-page backgrounds, or use one photo to make a full 8.5"x11" spread across 2 pages. Or I can print 2, 4 6, 8, 12, etc photos per page, and cut them. You can also get full sheet sticker paper to print onto, and make your own stickers, or print photos onto it. Epson has a utility that's basically drag-and-drop for photos, it's super easy to use. And they also have an app to print from your phone. I'm talking a lot about Epson because it's what I have, but I would guess that most modern printers have similar functionality.

I love my epson eco tank. There's a lot of models but I got one in the $130 range and its printed tons of stuff with the ink bottles that come with the printer :) but paper really does make the difference in photo printing. Premium glossy, premium semi gloss and premium matte all look great 👍🏻

Wish I saw this comment before I bought my Epson. Reds are brown, everything is a bit muddy, such a disappointment. I saw you switched to matte photo paper, is that really a big improvement?

Epson Eco-Tank. The ink is practically free.

The eco tank from Epson. I haven’t had to refill my ink in a long time. I came from a cannon printer where I was constantly changing the ink.

I have the Epson Eco tank. Up front cost is high, but I am not buying a set of cartridges every few months.

I bought an Epson eco tank, and it’s been great for printing photos.

I have left an Eco tank printer in air-conditioned storage for a year, 3x. I had to run the head cleaning process multiple times but it functions fine after that. I prefer the brother super cartridge printers over the Epson eco-tank. They print faster and seem to have better color accuracy. Both should work well for photos. In my experience, glossy prints will always smudge. Use satin or matte paper. Canon has also released a similar lineup that I’ve not tried.

I have had good success with matte and the brother MFC-6555DW. I found the Epson ecotank colors were a little off.

I looooove my eco tank. It was costing me over $60 a month in ink for my HP to print labels for my small business. I havnt had to even reload the black ink in over a year on my eco tank.

There are a ton of different ways to print photos with a even more tradeoffs and pitfalls. My recommendation is to get an epson ecotank printer and start there. They are a little more expensive upfront than an hp or whatever the cheapest inkjets are, but the ink and consumable cost per page is way less. As long as you use nice paper the color and contrast is very good. Prints should last 30+ years, longer than that and you need to use pigment based inks(and archival paper).

Epson EcoTank. I've had one since 2020 and the output is fantastic.
