Absolute Best!
Best printer I have ever had. The color is fantastic and the rear paper feeder is a must have. Especially for crafters and artists that use high GSM paper.

Improved across the boards
Perfect match for my needs and intentions, to make inkjet note cards for mailing to friends, using a fine Italian-crafted art paper that does not work well with laser-printed images. The features are common sensical, the controls and texts on the LED screen straightforward. Most gratifying is the relatively more economical use of ink by the refillable tanks as opposed to the old-fashioned plastic prefilled ink cartridges.

Great photo printer
It's been working great for me for the last few years. Print quality is great and ink lasts for a long long time.

So far great
I’ve been using Epson printers for well over 25 years and for the most part they always proven be to great printers. My go to photo printer is my Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 that I had for the last 5 years and under moderate use it still works perfectly. The photos out of the ET-8500 are just a tad less in quality then my HD XP-15000 but barely noticeable with both on the highest quality print settings. Set up was a breeze, had my printer unboxed and up and running on my network in a little over 30 minutes, not bad at all. This is my first Eco Tank print and I like that I have to always change the ink cartridges. The build quality on the ET-8500 is very good, unlike some Epson printers that I owned in the past that had very cheap flimsy plastic. I love this printer so far and can highly recommended to anyone that wants beautiful photos.

Great printer! and scanner. The liquid ink is a bit strange to handle after the cartridges. short time, you wont even notice it any more. A plastic bag is provided to carry the printer to avoid spilling the ink? Set up is very easy, almost done by itself. You need to install some drivers, its fast. The colour quality is amazing, even on plain paper. A fast, quiet photo-printer. No auto paper feed. Paper tray seems week, so far so good. A bit expensive to start with.

Love This Printer!
I've had this printer for a year now and absolutely love it! No more cassette ink cartridges!!! I have always bought Epson printers, ever since I started using computers/printers in the 90's, because I love how the Epson printers print photos! And, I always buy genuine Epson inks, too. Highly recommend this printer!

Good but could be better.
Purchased this to print some of my wife's artwork. So far so good, setup was very easy on all of our devices (PC and Mac). Output quality is very nice and most of the paper feed options work great. Biggest complaint is the rear feed option for heavy card stock. Though the feed handles heavy paper well it takes some re configuring to use and is tricky getting the paper to feed in straight.

Pros and Cons
I've been using this printer for nearly two years. **Pros:** The print quality is excellent, and I appreciate the eco-friendly ink. **Cons:** Paper jams are a recurring issue, especially with thicker materials like envelopes, cardstock, and premium photo paper. Additionally, prints often have ink smudges and smears along the edges. Epson should address these problems to improve the overall user experience.

Will help elevate your cannabis brand
Does a wicked good job printing my cannabis labels. Print quality is excellent, the black specifically is impressive compared to my previous printer, very dark and vivid.

Buyer Beware
I have had this printer for 1.5 years. Worked great until i had ONE paper jam a month ago. Last week it went into paper jam error. Took it to a licensed repair shop because of the original price. They called and said it was a FATAL error. NOT FIXABLE.

Great printer with tweaking and experimenting
I bought this printer to make quantity fliers for art shows and other art-related events at low ink costs. The larger model wasn't on sale at the time. The price difference was too extreme to consider the larger model, so I still make larger posters on my insanely-expensive-to-operate 24" Epson fine-art printer (which is going to make me into a homeless person the ink is so expensive for a struggling older retired photo artist living on social security donating services to non-profit organizations). However, the 24" Epson printer prints fantastic photos for my art shows in museums and galleries. The ET-8500 is fun and makes nice-looking color and black-and-white prints if you use high-quality settings and don't expect perfect color matching. The paper feeds are very finicky, too finicky, and you have to experiment to see what papers will work with which feed. If it doesn't work, and the thickness is not a factor, it will never work, and you will spend a huge amount of time screaming profanities because you're at a deadline and the paper is so hard to weave out from under all those gears. So, if you're willing to experiment a bit and get the combinations right, this is a fantastic printer that is fun, makes great bleed or bordered prints, and has rich and beautiful colors that are not perfect but are not unnatural or unpleasant and is fun to use once you get the hang of it. I've printed several hundred graphic-rich flier-type pages for art events and a few other things (they look much more impressive than Xerox fliers), and the machine still works for me, and there is still ink. My big Epson printer uses pigmented ink to make the prints last longer, but I noticed one of the black inks in this printer is also pigmented. Maybe that mixes with the colors for better fade resistance? I think this is a pioneering machine that will get better and better with each generation. It has quirks and takes getting used to, but I highly recommend it!

Best printer ever!!!
best printer ever! Great photos using Epson photo paper. Ink lasts along time, almost two years printing over two 200 4x6 photos of grand daughter and multi prints for church and copies for personal records. Every printer I ever owned when photos got wet they ran and smeared. Not with this printer and ink. We put photo in glass of water and let it dry and it was like brand new with no runs or smears.

Works great and worth buying!
This is a great printer but should be easier to install for use. I’m using a fairly capable MSI Dragon laptop and it doesn’t have a CD drive and this came with a disc, this should definitely come with a flash drive as new computers don’t even use discs anymore. I had to find it online and download it and still it’s not working wirelessly. Just a bit frustrating but it prints great, is easy to operate, easy to fill and works very well with sublimation paper and ink. I’ve already printed hundreds of pages and only needed to clean the heads after 200+ pages. Solid product but a bit of an update required on the software side. Worth buying!

Happy costumer
Very happy with my new printer. It showed very good reviews followed by a very user friendly Epson website for the purchase. I received the printer very fast in perfect condition and the set up was extremely easy. The print quality is very good. I highly recommend.
