A: Hello Nanana. The EcoTank ET-3850 can print on standard inkjet-compatible label sheets like Epson Photo Quality Self-adhesive Sheets.

Do NOT buy this printer. The paper jams nearly every time I want to print, rendering it essentially useless. I have tried various types of printer paper, it jams with all of them. My printer isn't even a year old and soon I will be throwing it out (not even donating it, I wouldn't inflict this printer on anyone else) and purchasing a new printer. It will not be an Epson, I will NEVER buy another Epson printer.

product works fine except for 2 aspects: set up is poorly designed. At one point asks for a password, which i never set up and doesnt offer the ability at that point to create a password. Connectivity to wifi is horrible. sometimes it works, sometimes not. Usually it says Printer is offline, default.

Would NOT recommend this printer/scanner at all. It's AWFUL. I can't get anything scanned to my computer, no matter what or how I try to scan.... the printing feature is so slow you will think it isn't working only to find an hour later something has printed. Take your money elsewhere.... this thing is a piece of junk.

I bought two of these printers for the house in the past last month. The install whet very smoothly and have had no problems in normal computer to printer operations. One of the printers is setup for WIFI communications and the other via USB. Today my wife opined about printing from her phone and iPad, so looked into it and it seemed to be straight forward. I down loaded the app and low and behold I discovered I had to pay weekly or monthly to utilize this function of my PC. Isn't it a bit callous on Epson's part to charge extra for built in functionality?

Less than 2 months old and since day one it doesn’t print the colors on the screen, no matter how many cleaning cycles and alignments I do. So sad. Something has changed. I had an epson for 5+ years and was great. This new one-horrible and it’s same model. So drivers have changed I assume. I tried the downloading and installing. Even swapped for more expensive epson and nope same problem.

Worked so well for about 4 months. Then, stopped recognizing each computer randomly. Now, the printer will not print unless I plug directly into the printer, only then will it acknowledge my computer. No other computers can print. The scanner is no longer recognized either. Get error messages that the ET3850 is "busy" or "offline" or communication error. Tried many things to correct it. Avoid this printer. Unreliable and unpredictable.

Bought this in October. It is our second ecotank, I bought it because I liked the last but it was a lower model so I upgraded and passed the other to our daughter. That being said--for the last several months printing from my computer has been a nightmare. It keeps losing Wi-Fi connection for no discernable reason (computer, tablets, etc, are all fine and dandy, just this printer that isn't on speaking terms any more with the router). Turn off, unplug, plug in, turn on and MMMAAAYYYBBBEEE it will print ONE document for us before stopping. We use this for our product labels, for legal documents, even for our homeschooling. Except now we don't. So. Great printer--until it decides it wants a divorce from your wifi. Then it's irreconcilable differences.

When I bought both of my Eco tank printers, I loved them. However, every time recently, you have to do a firmware update it’s atrocious. No help on the Epson site either because you go to all the work to submit the form and you can’t submit it because their model drop-down menu doesn’t work. I’m beginning to think I will never buy another Epson printer !

This was my worse Epson purchase. The 1 star is for the EcoTank., it does save ink and easy to fill. BUT I'm still on my 1st fill. I want to return this and get a different model. I'm sure somewhere in the fine print it points out that the control panel is a MANUAL screen non touch. I would be okay with that, if I didn't have to scroll through with the arrows for simple tasks like copy and scan. Oh, and forget about scan on the machine. I forget every time and must hit, power (to wake it up) arrow, okay, computer, okay, options are USB (don't use) or preview on computer. arrow, preview on computer, okay, comm error. THEN I remember I must use the scanner utility on the computer! The document feeder is a joke. Does not feed paper with the smallest of a bend anywhere on the edge. No 2side-2side with the ADF, manual only! Lastly the paper carriage, it miss-feeds on a regular basis with a jam or extra sheets. Overall, the unit weights and feels like VERY cheap plastic. I have used Epson for years and still like the brand, but this is not even close to products I have purchased in the past. I'm an IT guy and have bought a lot of Epson's for myself and clients. I'll toss this soon and go with anther unit more suitable for a small office. Time in use approx. 2 months
