LOVE this printer! As a Small business owner I was going though so many ink cartridges using other printers! This printer is wonderful and cost efficient thanks to the eco tank. We print daily and the ink tank is still OVER half way full! Don’t walk…RUN and get this! Emer

You won’t have to invest a lot into this Epson printer that uses ink cartridges with an extraordinary 2,400 and 1,200-page for black and color ink. You won't regret this kind of efficiency. Highly recommend it.

The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5170 printer is a nifty mid-size dual level printer, scanner, and fax machine. The big feature on this great for work at home workers and small business owners printer is its EcoTank ink system. While at first I was apprehensive that I would make a mess filling up the ink such fears went away after I added the first color and discovered how quick and easy and safeguarded the process is.
The other fear I had was around the set up of the printer – both the physical and network setup would be difficult, but nothing could be further from reality. The printer comes completely intact in the box. Just pull it out and plug it in and your printer is set up. Adding the printer to your wifi network and getting out up and running was also super simple with prompts to guide you along the way. The same goes for the app which is where you’ll be doing much of your printing. I just wish the app had a better user interface since I found it a bit clunky.
Now on the main event – how it works. For a home printer you will be hard pressed to find a better printer, especially when it comes to quality and speed. This thing produces high quality prints – whether it be regular print jobs, double sided jobs, labels, photos, ID cards – crisply and quickly. The scanner and copier functionalities also were great whether it was a single page or several.
Overall, this is printer is sturdy, attractive, and works great. If you do a lot of printing at home, this is the printer to get. And the money you’ll save with the EcoTank makes it well worth the price. Another great product from Epson.

This is a review for the Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5170 Wireless Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. And by far this is the best Epson printer I have owned - the smaller size and speed is superior to other models. And that includes Canons and Brothers I have owned. Some of the printers I have had in the past are R2D2 sized beasts for the amount of work I've needed them to do. But this one, very small size with a great scanner, copy function and printing that rivals even laser printers. And I tested it - takes print commands from 50+ feet away (not that I need to do that often). I would have given it five stars if the set-up instructions were a teensy bit easier to deal with. Getting the printer aligned was a little confusing but I figured it out. Great printer.

Setting up this printer is a little more involved than others, because of the ink tanks, but Epson makes the process easy with great step by step instructions provided in print and on the printer's display. Great print speed and quality. This is a very full featured printer that will do ALMOST anything you throw at it. The big FLAW is that this device DOES NOT support Scan to Network Drive which is a ridiculous omission for a printer that bills itself as an office device. I'm knocking a star off my rating because of this missing feature that's available on practically every office-class printer (including other Epson models) and many that aren't office-class.

My husband and I have our own home businesses and we were looking for a printer that could handle the volume of our printing needs personal and professional. We were tired of paying the costly price of printer ink. The EcoTank Pro ET-5170 printer was the answer to all of our printing needs.
This printer can print forever without having to replace the ink cartages every week or month and saves us a lot of money. The capacity of the paper tray is also quite large it can hold 250 sheets of paper. I love to print my own photos for my business and personal photos as well. The photos that this printer can produce are amazing. This printer also has the ability to create double sided prints to save us even more money on paper.
This is not just a printer it is also a scanner, fax machine and copy machine. My husband and I share an office so it does not take up a lot of space and replaces three devices. I have to scan lots of documents for my businesses and scanner in this device scans multiple documents automatically saving me time.
This all in one printer was easy to set up and will save us a lot of time and money. If you have a small home business you should definitely check it out! This is a review for the Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5170 Wireless Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Great Super tank printer
I got this EcoTank Pro ET-5170 for my Home business office. My first impression is wow, It's great All in one printer. Let's start with set up. On the box you have printed instructions how to unbox your printer, Very easy. It was securely taped with blue tape for transport. You need to check everywhere for the tapes and remove them. Warranty card ,set up instruction and software CD is included too. .Filling ink tanks is very easy too. Just remove the bottle cap and insert to filling port until it stop flowing, close the cap and repeat with another color. Next step load paper into loading cassette. Install software ,connect to WI-FI and you are good to go. Whole process is very self explanatory and easy.
I did install Epson Smart Panel App on my Android phone and I can now print photos from my phone. Quality and speed of the printing is amazing.
You can choose gloss or matte photo, plain paper, envelopes etc. It does double sided prints too which is great help.
The cartridges should apparently be good for 2 years .but of course it vary how much you will use it. It's great All in One printer .

Screen is small and is hard to see and learn a new printer.
The instructions were not clear in set up. Had a problem in connecting to laptop, call geek squad and they helped the best as they could with what connection that was there in the laptop.
My wife and I worked on it afterward and was able to make the connection.
At last somehow the folding cover for the Auto Document Feeder broke on one side and it drops when flipped open.
The pin is to small that holds the ADF cover in place.
Overall the printer is good.
But as a plastic machine it needs a closer look as the support points need more strength.

The quality of the printing is very good, the only details that I see that seem to have a color flaw, is when it is printing light blue color looks very clear, I think it is very fast, in the photos it is taken a little longer than normal, as it should be, I have not tried sublimating yet, but that is what I will try next week, it seems to me that the design as such is very good.
I would like it to have Support for a greater number of pages , but in general it seems to me that it is a very good printer, I think that the price is a little high compared to all those on the market, but I think that it is because it has to do more things that I have not yet been able to discover.

This is our second printer ( I accidentally broke the touchscreen on our first machine). I love this machine for our small business. It gets used a lot every day and works great every time. It is easy to install, does not use a lot of ink, and prints clean and clear every time.

Great performance. Easy set up. Nice to not buy ink cartridges every month. We’ve had this for 9 months and still going on initial filling.
Only downside is no USB output from scanner and clod system is not intuitive.

Printers aren't something that you get excited about but this new Epson has earner my small business respect. I print a lot in my real estate home office everything from contracts, MLS listings, to business photos not to mention the required family photos and kids school projects. In the past I would buy ink every other month. No more with the Epson, I figure that its ink will last more than two years.
On top of that, this printer was a breeze to setup on my PC. Plus it was automatically recognized by my mobile phone - no software required. Simply choose a photo, select print, and the phone found the printer. I print more photos then ever. #LOVETHATFEATURE
Oh, and its a beautiful piece of hardware. No more boring grey of black box that gets relegated to the utility room. the new Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5170 looks like a piece of modern art with an elevated level of piano black hovering over crisp white it has earned a spot on the corner of my desk. I can't say that a printer has done that in about 20 years.

I am not good with technical devices. This printer was so easy to set up. I couldn't believe it. I was in shock and then I was happy. Not to mention you don't need cartridges of ink. You have little bottles you fill up. It's so easy and so much cost efficient

It's a very nice printer it does the copying and the scanning really really good does it quickly prints very nice and is easy to put special sizes of paper in with a quick flip down I love the fact that it can turn the paper over itself and print on both sides very easily.
