QuestionCan this printer print on heavy cardstock, watercolor paper, etc.? Does it have a rear-feed straight paper path?
Asked 2 years ago by Ernie.
- Answer Hello Ernie. The printer includes two cassette trays and a rear paper feed for loading paper. The thickest paper the ET-8550 can print on is Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy which weighs 79 lb. For cardstock, we recommend using paper that weighs around 44 lb, as similar Epson paper has been tested to work. You can try a cardstock that falls in that range, but your results can vary, as these recommendations are for Epson paper only. Regards, Syd - The Epson Team.

QuestionDoes the Epson ET-8550 have Wi-Fi 6 capabilities
Asked 2 years ago by Ron.
- Answer Hello Ron. The ET-8550 is designed to work on a home Wi-Fi router using a 2.4Ghz band. If the Wi-Fi 6 router you are using is a 5 GHz router, then you want to ensure that it is a dual-band or tri-band router and that the printer connects to the 2.4 GHz band. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

QuestionCan this printer be used as a sublimation printer for tshirts, coffee mugs, cds and other arts and crafts
Asked 1 year ago by Greene.
- Answer Yes it can but you should look into any of the other ecotank printers for that. This is a six color printer that mostly converted for dtf printing. Sublimation doesnt print white so its a waste of money to buy this to convert for that purpose.

QuestionI was wondering how big is the ink Wells? Like how many mL?
Asked 1 year ago by BethanyB.
- Answer Haven't measured them as you would need to pull one of them out of the system to do so accurately. However when I filled the printer tanks for the first time I still had ink left in the 70mL bottles. After charging the heads all tanks dropped from 100% full to 75% full. Used the remaining ink to fill all tanks back to 100% and it took all of the remanding ink from each bottle. With that considered the tanks would hold 52.5 mL's each.
