Epson Ecotank Printer Review ( My Opinion ) ET4800 Featured 

I recently purchased a new Epson Eco Tank 3850 printer at Costco for $325.00. The setup was relatively easy and I had it up and running in about 15 minutes after unboxing. However, I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the printing for both documents and photos.The edging in the photos were grainy and the colors were darker then the original photos. I reset the color management and it still produced a low quality image. The scanner is also cheap inefficient. After scanning a simple document I discovered the text had jagged edges and the tops of the fonts in some sentences were chopped off. The only way I could get nice sharp fonts in a document was to scan in Photo Mode. The top automatic feeder which is used to scan multiple documents or make copies, pulls the entire stack of papers into the feeder all at once. I had to physically stagger each page individually to prevent the stack from jamming the feeder. All in all this printer is constructed of poor quality materials and is cheaply made. Thank God I saved the box. I'm packaging it back up and taking it back to Costco first thing tomorrow.

do you know how to make the 4800 print borderless? I have looked everywhere and it only gives me that option for plain white paper and standard printing. I need to choose matte photo paper and borderless. Hope you can help?

Can it print double sided? I keep seeing people say both yes and no which is it is there a double sided function?

Hi, does it auto-print on both sides if needed? ( whidouth needing to take out the paper and place it back to print on the other side)

Does the scanner do 2 sided scans

Can it scan through ADF? Sorry may be a dumb question

$375 and it cannot do duplex printing? 😂😂😂😂 My $65 HP can. As for 'automatic feeder, what do you think the tray is?

It's a piece of crap. The ink is good but the copy counter does not reset automatically when replacing the Ink waste tank. You have to buy a non Epson copy counter reset online every time and it only reset 80% of the counter. If you are a small business that waste ink tank will cost you in the long run. The waste ink tank does not have a chip and when it does, It does not work to reset the counter. The ADF (Auto Doc Feeder) also goes out and you will have problems. There is no solution.
