Epson EcoTank ET-2880 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scan and Copy - The Ideal Basic Home Printer - Black, Medium)
Your family needs a printer that’s fast, affordable, and easy to use. That’s why we developed the EcoTank ET-2800 – an innovative cartridge-free solution that uses high-capacity, easily refillable ink tanks. So you’ll worry less about running out of ink, and save a lot on replacement ink (1). The ET-2800 features genuine Epson print quality, a high-resolution flatbed scanner, and convenient color display – making it the ideal basic home printer. 1. Actual savings and costs will vary considerably based on print tasks, print volumes and usage conditions. Savings and cost per ISO page are based on the cost of replacement ink bottles and the cost of enough standard cartridges to achieve the total page yields of the bottles using the MSRP (USD) and yields for Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured Epson consumer inkjet printers as of May 2021. 2. Part of the ink from the included bottles is used for initial setup; yields are lower than those of replacement ink bottles. Replacement and included ink bottle yields based on the ISO/IEC 24712 pattern with Epson’s methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. All ink colors are used for printing and printer maintenance, and all colors must be available for printing. 3. Individual cartridges estimate based on print yields of a replacement set of black and color ink bottles as compared to Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured printers as of May 2021. 4. Based on average monthly document print volumes of about 125 pages. 5. Epson Connect account and voice-activated account registration required. 6. Most features require an Internet connection to the printer, as well as an Internet- and/or email-enabled device. 7. Requires Epson Smart Panel App download. Data usage fees may apply. 8. 12 months of standard limited warranty or 30,000 plain paper sheets (whichever happens first). For an additional 12-month extended service plan (total of 24 months or 30,000 plain paper sheets, whichever happens first), register your product and use Epson genuine ink bottles. See Limited Warranty for details. 9. SmartWay is an innovative partnership of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that reduces greenhouse gases and other air pollutants and improves fuel efficiency.
Our Verdict
Photo printing is not the highest quality BUT very acceptable. Setup was a piece of cake. Just follow the prompts on the printer's screen, installed the software on my computer, Windows 10, the computer than found the printer without any difficulty. Since the printer uses 2.4 GHz WiFi band, time from sending print job to printer from computer is a bit long, the 5 GHz band would have been better for me since the printer is next to the computer. If you plan to have users a greater distance from the printer the 2.4 GHz band is a good choice. For the price, the cost of the ink, this is a very good printer, much better than the cartridge type printer. Adding ink is a very easy clean and neat process. So far printing is working very well. Added later : 2.4 GHz is annoyingly slow!! Fortunately along the right side there is a USB port that will connect the ET-2800 to a computer. After connecting using the USB port the time to print is MUCH better. Actually makes the printer useful instead of just annoying. Additional update : Windows 11 update creates a large waste of paper using USB connection; multiple reports of printing "GET /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost" by itself; nothing fixes the problem except using WiFi. Also the 2 year ink claim is wildly optimistic; my home use shows that ink usage is much more like 5 months; although the ink is much cheaper than other printer.
