My hope when receiving this printer was that it would make printing photos easy and that the prints would look nice. The ET-8500 and ET-8550 EcoTank Printers develop from the media features from their predecessors and offer five different paper feeds to best suit you and your workflow including a new rear straight pass for larger media types, as well as the addition of a touchscreen controlled motorised output tray to safely handle your prints.

The HP Smart Tank Plus 651’s ADF holds up to 35 pages, as does the one on the Canon Pixma G7020 MegaTank All-in-One. Paper sizes: The printer is able to print on various sizes of paper: Legal, Letter, A4, Executive, 8″ x 10″, 5″ x 7″, 4″ x 6″, 3.

As you’ll see, their running costs are several times those of the ET-8500 and most other bulk-ink printers. Past Canon and Epson printer i have used were eventually disappointing, then problematic and then compounded by a feeling i was spending money on a losing cause.I didn’t spend any time figuring out why because I was able to print photos from my phone more easily using the Epson Smart Panel app. It gives users the ability to connect to any compatible printer nearby and eliminates the need for additional drivers or software.

Ink Specifications: The Epson ET-8500 printer uses five dye-based inks (Photo Black, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, and Gray) and one pigment-based ink (Black).During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. A printer for the modern user, the EcoTank ET-8500 allows you to print, scan, and more directly from your phone or tablet using the Epson Smart Panel app{s1}, or print from SD cards and USB flash drives through the 10. When comparing ET-8500 black-and-white prints with those from Canon’s Pro-200, some reviewers felt that there were some images where Canon produced a more truly neutral print, noting that the ET-8500’s print had a very slight cool tint to it, but it depended upon the photo, the lighting, and the media used 7 In general, when producing black-and-white prints, dye inks tend to display much more variability under different lighting conditions than pigments. That's comparable to most of its competitors, including Canon’s Pixma G6020 MegaTank All-in-One, HP’s Smart Tank Plus 651 Wireless All-in-One, and Brother's MFC-J805DW INKvestment Tank All-in-One.

The Pixma G7020 and G6020 can hold 350 sheets each from two separate sources, and the MFC-J805DW holds 101 sheets, with 100 in the main drawer and one in the override tray. That score beats all the other AIOs mentioned here by at least 3ppm, and some, such as the HP Smart Tank Plus 651 and Brother MFC-J805DW, scored as low as about 10ppm. We will see how it goes, all i know is simple is usually good and while not a fine art printer it goes pretty far in in that direction for getting a decent photograph into ones hands to enjoy. 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. Just like the Epson ET-16500, the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8500 Wireless Color All-in-One Supertank Printer can do so many things.

The EcoTank Photo printers are not for everyone—you wouldn’t use one of these for gallery-ready prints, for example—but they are perfect if you want to get into printing your photos, and want great output with minimal hassle. We supply the latest technology solutions to organisations of all sizes across education, public and private sectors, helping thousands of organisations along their own digital transformation journeys. I have been looking for a quality Photo Printer, ever since I became an avid amateur photographer in 2012.
