I just got a new ET-4850 and I want to connect it to my computer (usb) and also make it available to mobile devices via wifi. Is there an order that I should use when setting up (ie, usb first or wifi first)? Thanks!
Because of 7:26 I'm having a real hard time committing to this printer. Obviously slow, otherwise, we don't have to skip ahead during the printing to make it appear faster.
Thanks for your great videos! I’m a retiring graphic designer/art director and am now hoping to just have fun doing artwork and such. I need a new printer. I’m looking at the EcoTank 4850 and 3850. I was wondering if either of those will print on heavier paper (even card stock) and possibly handmade paper. Does the paper pass straight through or have to bend?
At around 7:10, I can't even push the 'paper aligners' apart! Yesterday, I couldn't open the top cover of the ink compartment - thankfully, I found a forum proving the answer. However, still can't get the paper aligners apart.
So I got a epson et 4850 and I can not for the life of me get anything to print centered. Epson is no help. when my scrapbooking pages come out, it has a 1/8 inch margin on top and 1/4 on the bottom. I have done checked and unchecked on center box and they just both come out the same. I don't want to do borderless because it makes the pages to big for my book and i don't want to cut off edges of my prints.
I thought Epson gave you two sets of inks? Any USB ports? I have the chance to buy a ET 4550 printer for $300, and the other oppertunity to buy a ET 4850 for $500. Is there much of a difference? I print some pictures of people and there faces.
Depending on the model, you may or may not have a usb port. Some Eco Tank offers include 2 sets of ink but not all. So look into the offers you have for each model and if one offers more it might be worth paying a bit more.
My epson does not print checks on check paper. It will print check on plain paper. I called Epson support and they told be the ink is not compatible with check paper. Is this true? I have business so have to print checks.
Hi Brandon! I’m using the auto document feeder for the first time today and I don’t think it does double sided scanning. Is that correct or am I just not turning it on in settings?
Hello Brandon can u help me I have a et 2750 printer it is giving me a msg saying the ink pad needs service contact Epson but my printer is out of warranty how can I do this my self ??
Hi, my issues is this. For the life of me, I cannot find any Eco Tank printers that can copy and FAX on both sides of the paper. How do you get around this? Also, do you know of any type of Eco-Tank or similar printers that can copy and FAX from both sides?
Hi, i just want to ask its okay to use remanufactured ink ? Is there's no prob in the overall printing? I just buy mine but im thinking to buy the remanufactured ink because it's cheaper .
Hi. Thx for the review! If you replace the maintenance box, how do you get a reset code (WIC) since none of the available companies look to support the 48xx models? Looks like that the 48xx are different from the 47xx in that regard...
hi brandon thanks for the video, i can't decide et 4800 or et 4850, please help! i know they identical, just want to know if you have to choose one, which one?
Hey Brandon, thank you for all the info. But how do I open and close the scanner unit without feeling like I’m going to damage it when I lock it to stay in place and also to release. It takes quite a bi of force for such a lightly built machine.
Thanks Brandon. It closed fine with a bit of force, would be good just to give people a heads up cause no one want to damage their printer after just opening it. Cheers.@@BestPrinters
Can this printer, print on 300 gsm textured paper (bristol board A4) and deep tooth sketching paper. Would the inks bleed out on the paper because its art/sketching paper. If this printer can't do that you have any other recommendations for a multifunctional scan and print, printers. Also does this printer have a back feeding tray so it prints front to back to avoid paper jams. Would really appreciate your help 😊
Love the unboxing!! I’m loving the printer so far. My old Hp laser needed Wi-Fi router to work as a Wi-Fi printer which cased delays and no prints. Noticed this didn’t ask for a password to print? Is there that feature so my neighbors don’t find my printer and use up my ink/paper? Also I purchased mine at Sam’s Club for $450 and included a extra black ink bottle which thought was nice 👍. Thanks again for sharing the video!!
Can you you use this printer to convert to sublimation? I just bought this one but when I search the ink I can’t seem to find sub ink for the 4850 eco tank.
Brandon, great review! I just setup my new Epson ET-4850 printer, but forgot to fill the ink cartridges BEFORE the "ink charging" step which takes 10 mins. After filling the ink, when I try to test any of the printer head alignment steps, the printer is NOT printing anything. I get BLANK pages. How do I go back and complete the "Ink Charging" step?
I would hesitate to buy an eco printer because of the “end of life” This is crazy what you have to do to get around it and the cost of the printer!!!!!
Unfortunately they have still built an end of life maintenance pad into the printer via the border less print pad. If you check the manual you will see an error code for it.
i cannot figure out how to print photos from my iMac....where do I put the photo paper (4x6). Do I set it up entirely from my Mac, or do I need to do something else on the screen?
You will need to adjust the bottom paper tray for that size and yes you will need to adjust the presets on your IMac. Command P on whatever you are trying to print should bring up these settings.
Good morning! I am looking at this printer and the 3850. Do you have any thoughts on the 3850? It does not have a fax or touch screen option. Both are on sale right now and the 4850 is $70 more than the 3850 and I am trying to decide which one to buy. Thanks!
I bought one of these and really like it. I wish the screen was larger. I guess if you use your phone, it may be easier, but I chose not to use my phone. I ended up using a stylus because the screen is so small. Otherwise this is a great printer.
Yes to sublimation, here are the paper sizes, Paper Sizes 3.5" x 5", 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 8" x 10", 8.5" x 11", 8.5" x 14", A4, A6, half letter, executive, user definable (3.5" x 5" - 8.5" x 47")
Reading a lot of comments from users about how the scanner "sucks". Any notion what people's complaints might be based on? Cumbersome? Bad quality? Hard to scan large documents?
Why dont you subscribe to my channel, I will have a review on the Epson ET 5850 the beginning of December this year, just for you. I will also do an analysis video comparing the ET 4850 and 5850!
I have a 2800 that started clicking really loud and leaving ink on the edges of my paper. I bought a new one and got 4850. After printing 20 pages it’s now doing the same thing. Do you have any suggestions for me?
i keep on getting a message to "open scanner unit and remove all protective materials inside the printer." But they have all been removed and still getting the same message. Is there some hidden tape?
@@BestPrinters how is that done? I don’t see presets for ER-4850 using Epson connect. I have the destination list ready. I had presets on this printer before, but it took a dump and I had to reset everything. Presets disappeared. I do not remember for the life of me how I got the presets on that printer.
Just purchased the ET-4850 and cannot get the ADF to function for scanning. Every time it gives me a paper jam error message, the paper never moved a centimeter. I insert the paper and hear a beep, I assume that is a good sound. The manual says I should see a icon on the panel, I don't. I even went into settings and chose the ADF button instead of Auto or Glass. I hear the sound of scanning, then the printer stops and gives me the clean jam even though the paper never moved. The rollers turn freely. What could I possibly be doing wrong?
Selecting Double-sided Printing Settings - Windows Select one of the following options for 2-Sided Printing: ... Click the Settings button. ... Select the double-sided printing options you want to use. Click OK to return to the Main tab. Click the Print Density button.
I really like this printer and your presentation ! In Australia the ET 4850 appears to only come in black - I would have preferred this white one in your video. Do you know if quality after market inks would work in this unit ? (after the warranty period expires of course)
I can’t find the specifications for this printer on Epson’s website. Does anyone have a link for that info? For example, will this printer do borderless photo prints? Thanks!
What about finding replacement ink for this product. Are they readily available at a good price? Some printers I've seen can only use specific ink provided by the manufacturer that sometimes costs more than the printer itself.
