Does everything you could want and more

This printer out of the box was very easy to unpack and setup. It came in a box with Styrofoam inserts and was taped to keep everything secure. Due to the good packaging, there were no physical issues with the unit upon arrival. At first, I was a little worried about how well getting the ink into the reservoir would go. I feared it would spill all over while trying to pour it in. However, this was not the case as you simply just screw the cap off and stick the bottle in the correct opening. At which point the ink goes into the reservoir and once full stops. There were no issues with drips or leaks. After that the printer takes around 10 minutes to calibrate and adjust. I’m not sure if this happens only on the first fill up or after every fill up but it wasn’t a big deal. The rest of the setup was straight forward for items such as language, time zone, etc. The wireless set up was simple too. The touchscreen panel is a nice touch and more convenient than having to use arrows to type everything. The setup instructions were simple and to the point and more than enough to successfully setup the printer.
I print a lot of shipping labels so I was interested to see how this printer would handle that since I use thicker paper. The Epson print app found the printer right away and I could print without issue. Even with the thicker paper I didn’t have any issues with jamming or paper feeding improperly. Speaking of paper, the tray is quite deep and can hold quite a bit of paper. It holds more than any other printer I have had. I also frequently scan items that I will be selling online. The scan feature worked without issue through the Epson app. There is also a copy feature on this printer which I don’t use as much but wanted to see how that performed. This was also very simple to do. The only feature that I didn’t really test was the fax feature as I don’t have a landline to fax over nor do I ever fax anyone. In the short time I have had this printer I have yet to encounter really any issues at all. It performs as advertised and assuming the ink lasts as long as advertised there really isn’t much downside to it. The initial price could be a deterrent to some but overtime the money you save on ink should more than make up for it. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ET-4750 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Love the inexpensive color ink, hate the print head clogs

Had the printer 10 months. The double side duplex feature is a must have. Photos on photo paper are amazing.
Downside is it is a slow scanner compared to the Samsung all in one it replaced and is slow to print. Biggest issue is the print heads clogging even though I use the printer every day. Consumed almost 1/8"/3mm out of the ink tanks to do the power purge to clear the head.

It's been great.
Now on printing it's been very good but when l you use a high lighter it still smugs even with smear guard.

Not what I expected

I bought this printer to replace an Epson Workforce. The web site said it copies 2-sided to 2-sided, but it doesn't. This is an important feature to me. Also, it prints exceedingly slowly, and sounds as if it is stopping to pump ink every few lines. Last, the color is faded--even in "vivid" mode, it is much les vivid that the Workforce.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have had this 4 months and having the ECO Tank ink supply is really great. *******
The software on the tiny screen is atrocious, and the instructions on line are atrocious. I switched from HP who has printers that always default to the most obvious use and only requires the instructions when the printing gets more complicated, but I wanted the ECO-TANK ink supply. But I find the software instructions for the EPSON so difficult to use with the MAC OS and the iPAD pro series awful (I prefer printing from mobile devices)
I use this at home and have just 3 requirements. Setup to print a full scale photos on what ever paper I put into the letter paper tray in 1 easy steps (I do not want the machine to tell me what size paper to use) and 1 more step if I want to use a different scale print and paper.
in addition, then 1 easy step to get back to 2 sided normal letter size printing.
If the software was easier, I would have given the machine a 5; I almost gave it a 1 because of the software.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
