Scanning with that much detail takes about two minutes for an entire page, but it preserves every detail. It can scan at up to 1,200 dpi resolution, four times that of some competing printers. The Epson EcoTank ET-2850 is an all-in-one printer that includes a flatbed scanner. Special features The Epson EcoTank ET-2850’s flatbed scanner works well and captures great detail. I chose this setting even when printing on glossy paper. I did notice a slight blue tint a couple of times, but after setting the paper type to Photo Quality Ink Jet, the photos came out with accurate tones. If you need more vivid and precise color, Epson makes 6-color EcoTank printers dedicated to photo-quality printing for professionals.
The EcoTank ET-2850 prints are crisp and colorful enough to satisfy my daily printing needs and might even suffice for special projects. The print resolution is 4800-by-1200 dpi, eliminating pixelation in high-quality photos. Photo prints on 4-by-6-inch paper come out quickly and look great. If you want speed, laser printers are often much faster than inkjets when printing several pages. Black-and-white documents print at about 10 pages per minute (ppm), while color cuts that in half. The Epson EcoTank ET-2850 isn’t the fastest printer, but you probably won’t mind unless you expect it to blast through a stack of documents quickly. Printing performance The Epson EcoTank ET-2850 has great photo print quality, but watch out for blue tints. The clearly labeled tray lets you know which side faces up when loading paper, and the size guides are easy to adjust. You’ll probably be switching between plain and photo paper regularly. The paper tray at the back holds up to 100 sheets, which is on the low side, but the Epson EcoTank ET-2850 isn’t a business printer, so that’s not a problem. The small display and unusual buttons are a bit confusing. A touchscreen would have been more convenient. The display guides you through tasks with ease, but two of the buttons have unusual symbols that can be confusing on such a small display. The center panel tilts up for easy viewing and contains a 1.4-inch color display with buttons on either side for operation. Future replacement inks should provide more prints per bottle. To completely fill black takes over a minute, but colors only need about 30 seconds each.Įpson notes that some of included ink gets used in the initial setup to charge the system. A diagram inside the printer reminds you not to squeeze the bottles during refilling, in case you forget in the long period between. It’s easy: Just unscrew the bottle, tip it into the correct tank, and wait until the printer drinks its fill. You fill these reservoirs from Epson ink bottles, which each hold enough ink for over a year of printing. You can’t make out the individual colors behind the plastic, but it’s reassuring to see the ink levels and massive printing capacity at a glance.
The cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink tanks have translucent panels that show the remaining ink.
