Disclaimers
- 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 March 2024.
- 2. Individual cartridges estimate based on print yields of an included or replacement set of black and color ink bottles as compared to Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured printers as of March 2024.
- 3. 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
- 4. Based on average monthly document print volumes of about 150 pages.
- 5. See www.epson.com/voice for device compatibility. 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. For a list of Epson Connect enabled printers and compatible devices and apps, visit www.epson.com/connect
- 7. Requires Epson Smart Panel app download. Data usage fees may apply.
A: My last EcoTank had no issues with very occasional printing. I too only print here & there. Sometimes, once every 2 months & I’ve never had the problem of frozen or clogged print heads. I only upgraded to a new EcoTank printer because I wanted more capabilities. If you’re still concerned, though for me it was a non issue, perhaps bring up a notepad on your cell & draw 4 lines, 1 in each color (black, blue, yellow, red) & print it once every couple weeks. ;-)
A: Hi Bobg26, Using the Epson T502 refill bottles, the EcoTank ET-2850 is designed for, you can expect an average of 7,500 black pages and 6,000 color pages. You do not need the other colors to print using black, but if one of more colors is expended, we recommend refilling them as soon as possible to avoid having ink dry around the print nozzles. This could potentially cause clogs. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
Q: Is this printer able to do sublimation printing?
A: Indeed you can but if you plan to use this printer for sublimation DO NOT use the ink that comes with it. Be sure you install the sublimation ink from the very beginning. Of course doing so will void all warranties with Epson I believe, so keep that in mind!
Q: Where do you load the paper? Sticking out the back or ?
A: Hi Rebel, The EcoTank ET-2850 has a rear feed tray that holds 100 sheets of plain paper. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A: Hello. Yes, the ET-2850 does not require a CD to complete the setup. You can download the latest print driver software from our official Epson Support page to set up and install your printer. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
Q: Does the printer print double sided pages?
A: Hello Lookingfor. Yes, the ET-2850 includes automatic 2-sided printing functionality for paper up to 8.5" x 11" in size. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
Q: Can you use card with this printer (single sided printing).? Thank you
A: I have yet to ever find this Thick Paper setting on my ET-2850 and I have done so many online searches to try and find how or where I find this setting and not found any answers. Please can you tell me where to find it. I have gone through all the paper setting options when reloading paper, I have tried going through the Epson photo printing software, through PowerPoint, printing as an image from documents... nothing has a Thick Paper option in the printer settings. I am so sick and tired of having blurred grainy pictures, I might as well not have bought a colour printer. I use the Epson Photo papers and it's just as shocking quality. I am so disappointed.
A: Hello KyokoShimizu. The ET-2850 is an All-In-One printer that includes print, copy, and scan functionality. Unfortunately, the printer does not have fax features. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

Incredible Little Printer!
I’m in love! With this printer! For the longest time, I thought that if you wanted a printer that didn’t need a new $50 cartridge every 70 pages, you’d have to buy a laser printer. Boy was I wrong! This epson printer just keeps printing and printing! I print about 30 pages a week, and after a month the printer ink is still full! I love the windows into the ink tank, it’s such a good idea. I always wondered if my old printer still had ink in the cartridge and was just lying to me - this printer I will know for sure. I also love that it has a scanner built in. This model doesn’t have the ADF, which I’m fine with. I only scan a couple of things a month, and this printer is more than adequate for scanning. Better than that, the scans are high resolution and crystal clear. Much better than scanning documents with my iPhone. I also love the form factor of this printer. It’s so little and cute! It fits well on my shelf, and it’s lightweight in case I want to move it anywhere else. It’s been an amazing printer, and I hope it lasts me many years. And in case it doesn’t, I also got the protection plan with it ;)

Happy with purchase so far
Really like this printer. It’s compact and lightweight, and really like the white color instead of the usual boring black. Setup was a breeze using the app on my iPhone. Took about 20 minutes, including filling the ink tanks and initializing them. I didn’t even have to enter my WiFi password. Print quality is fine for my needs, since I rarely print photos. The gigantic ink supply is the best thing. I got so sick of having to buy ink every time I had more than a few pages to print. The ink cost for my old printer was nearly the cost of the printer itself, and it came with ink when I bought it. Go figure! The only con for me so far is that I haven’t been able to scan a document from the printer dashboard itself to my iPhone or iPad unless I use the app from my device. The only option there is to scan to a USB connected computer or laptop, which I no longer own. I did learn one tip on YouTube for dull colors or lines through the copies. You have to make sure that the paper type you select on the printer is identical to the paper type selected on your computer or device. It definitely made a difference for me; the colors were definitely more vibrant. Also, I did purchase 2 reams of Epson Bright White Pro paper. It’s great - a tad heavier than other copy paper. I think it’s worth the couple of extra dollars over the regular copy paper. Only time will tell if the longevity of the printer justifies the higher cost. I like that you get a two-year warranty with online registration. Right now, I think this was definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Quality for price
This was very easy to set up. It to roughly ten minutes to initialize the ink system which in my opinion isn't unreasonable. Easy to switch from media sources, easy picture sheet arrangements, takes up very little space, and prints great quality pictures. Great price for the quality of product, I caught it on sale which was a double bonus!
