I ordered this unit on 9/12/22. I printed a few test pages, which came out perfect. However, when I wanted to print out over 150 4x6 photos on glossy photo paper for a Christmas photo album I am working on, the prints started to have black blobs of ink on the photos. I contacted Epson and was on the phone for over 2 hours running several tests with a representative from the Philippines. He logged onto my computer and had me send copies of the photos with the blobs on black ink through the scanner. The determination was that he thought it was because I was using Cannon Paper Plus Glossy II, and not Epson photo paper. Although, I have over 500 sheets of all sizes of Cannon photo paper, I ordered $60 worth of Epson photo paper. The problem still persisted after using ... MoreI ordered this unit on 9/12/22.

The determination was that he thought it was because I was using Cannon Paper Plus Glossy II, and not Epson photo paper. Although, I have over 500 sheets of all sizes of Cannon photo paper, I ordered $60 worth of Epson photo paper. The problem still persisted after using the Epson paper, even on the 8.5 x 11 Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper GLOSSY that I had to use to print test prints for the Epson representative.I called the Epson Support number again, and after spending another hour on the phone, and running the same tests I ran last week, my photos still had black ink on them. Epson determined that the printer was defective, and they are now sending me a RECONDITIONED unit because the printer is over 30 days old. They also needed my credit card number and told me I would be responsible for $479.99 if I had done something to the printer, and they were not able to fix it. I ONLY added the ink to the printer.This printer is extremely slow. If you are trying to print a photo while another is printing, you will get an error message, and then it prints after the photo has printed out. The 4x6 tray 1 only holds approximately 18 sheets of photo paper. When you are doing a large project, it is rather time consuming, as you have to close the output tray, which is sticking out by closing it on the printers' display, then you can pull out tray 1 to add more photo paper.The unit itself is well built, but the paper trays are extremely flimsy. The photos come out beautifully, other than the black blobs of ink I started getting. I bought this printer mostly because of the ink tank capabilities. My ink has hardly moved at all, and I am now at 312 pages. The plain paper I am using to print documents has had no issues.After the glowing reviews I read on this printer, I'm not sure if I would purchase it again? It is now $50 less than when I purchased it in September of this year, I purchased $60 worth of Epson paper, which is definitely more expensive than the Cannon paper I have on hand, which I may not have needed, and did not fix the problem, and I am now receiving a reconditioned printer for a printer that is only 3 months old.

I just replaced my aging, much-loved Epson Stylus Photo R2880 with the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550.

Fantastic photo printer. I was blown away by the quality of the prints, leaving my Cannon Pro 100 in the dust ! There is enough ink in the bottles to refill the tanks after setup and printing a few 13x19 photos so this is definitely a huge savings.BUT.,, it is disgraceful that this printer does not automatically align the printheads and, in my case, there were ZERO perfect alignments to choose from on the calibration printouts. That said, it did not seem to have an ill effect on the end result.Individual print settings are difficult to impossible as access to all settings seems to be highly dependent on software compatibility.Try to print often to avoid clogging of the printheads.

I reset the printer and it was OK after, so, that is of some concern. Bottom line, the printer just sips ink and prints a fantastic image but is way more difficult to use than any other printer I have ever owned. It seems I'm constantly having to go to the printer to change a setting or to change the tray or approve a feed or even just approve a print job or to cancel because it decided to revert to the front tray or some other reason. My LOVE for this this printer quickly faded to LIKE.Sadly, were it not for the fantastic print quality, I would hate this printer.

The printer provides very high quality photo output even on matte and specialty paper, without the super high ink cost. I have other Epson and Canon large format printers that cost more to purchase and have MUCH higher ink expense due to small cartridge size. The ET 8550 cannot produce quite the same color range as a 10 or 12 ink printer, but it is very, very close. Unless comparing prints side by side, the quality difference is really not noticeable. I have no qualms hanging the 8550 output at 13x19 print size on my wall, and smaller prints are even better. Note that I spend a lot of time getting the settings right and using ICC profiles for the print media in order to get great results. However, even a novice should be able to get good results on genuine Epson ... MoreThe printer provides very high quality photo output even on matte and specialty paper, without the super high ink cost.

However, even a novice should be able to get good results on genuine Epson papers that the printer has inbuilt profiles for. I've made enough large format prints that I would have run through a $200 to $400 set of inks by now on my other photo printers and the 8550 tanks are still nearly full. That cost savings alone is remarkable. My experience is limited to printing on high quality photo papers. I've not tried other media, printing on CDs, etc., and I have not used the scanner, so I have no insight on how the 8550 performs in those areas. Regardless, the ET8550 is a really strong photo printer at a really strong value. I believe that all but the most serious pro photographers will be happy with the results they get if they take the time to use it properly.
I recently purchased the Epson ET-8550 and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The print clarity of this printer is absolutely excellent. As an artist, it is crucial for me to have a printer that can accurately reproduce the colors and details of my artwork, and the ET-8550 does just that. Not only does this printer deliver exceptional print quality, but it also offers a wide range of features that are perfect for artists like me. The ability to print on various media types, including fine art papers and canvas, allows me to explore different creative possibilities. Additionally, the printer's high-resolution scanning capabilities enable me to easily digitize my artwork for online sharing or reproduction.

Additionally, the printer's high-resolution scanning capabilities enable me to easily digitize my artwork for online sharing or reproduction. One of the standout aspects of the Epson ET-8550 is its competitive price. Compared to other printers in its class, this model offers incredible value for the money. The initial investment may seem higher, but the printer's EcoTank system, which comes with a generous amount of ink, ensures that I can print a significant number of high-quality prints before needing to purchase additional ink. This not only saves me money in the long run but also reduces the hassle of constantly replacing cartridges. Furthermore, I must commend Epson for their excellent customer service. From the moment I reached out with inquiries about the printer to the post-purchase support, their team has been incredibly helpful and responsive. They have gone above and beyond to ensure that I am satisfied with my purchase and have provided me with valuable guidance on optimizing the printer's performance.
When I was looking to get a new printer, I was looking for something that could deliver a good, not quite professional level, print quality, large format capabilities and I was very interested in the tank printers because of the quantity of prints they could produce.I have been a fan of another brand of printer for years, but I felt they were lagging behind in the tank printer system. The Epson EcoTank printers seemed to be the best on the market, in my opinion, after doing a bit of research.By chance I found the ET-8550 on sale at Best Buy, and had been watching it for some time. I had all of the features I wanted and more.

I had all of the features I wanted and more. I use it mainly for a crafting printer, but I have found myself using it for office type printing/scanning as well.The print quality is just the perfect level that I need for some of the design work and prints that I do. It is a multi-tank system, which uses a Photo Black, Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Grey ink tanks. Even though they packed in bottles are less in volume than the additional refills, I have found myself still not needing to refill my tanks with the amount I've printed.The image quality has been very good on simple images to higher level photo images. I've had to adjust at times for better image quality, but that's been easy to take care of. I love that I can make prints up to 13"x19" size as well. I will admit, there is a bit of a labor to get access to the large format slot in the rear. (You have to lift remove the back panel, lift the top paper holder, then remove the printer cassette in the back to just access the larger opening.) However, once I got the mechanics down for using the large format slot, I was very happy with it.While I bought this for mainly printing images and designs, I have found myself using this for office type work as well. The scanner is simple to use, and I have used it from the printer itself, as well as using the app from my phone to print documents. I wasn't planning on these features, but I am very happy with the office capabilities of this printer.It is a large printer, and takes a lot of space. I didn't open the box of for a couple of days until I could find a suitable stand to hold this monstrosity. In the end, it was worth the wait.This was my first time having a wireless connected printer, and I found this to easily setup and connect to my network, cell phone and tablet. With the Espon apps installed, I was able to print with no problems from my phone or tablet. (Android OS.)I highly recommend this printer for those that need a good mid to high level photo printer that is capable of doing office type work as well.
I bought this printer because my wife is a teacher, and I'm an engineer with a photography hobby, I wanted the most versatile printer I could find. We have put this printer through the paces with many different uses. My wife has 28 students, and as you may know, school systems are underfunded with supplies, so we end up printing a lot of worksheets, and other school use products for her class. I just finished printing 44 page booklets, including card stock covers, for 22 of her students, double sided. If you do the math, that is printing about 2 reams of paper which this printer just chugged along and completed without any problem. Our previous printer was a small laser printer that would overheat after 120 sheets. So this last project would have been impossible.I ... MoreI bought this printer because my wife is a teacher, and I'm an engineer with a photography hobby, I wanted the most versatile printer I could find.

If you do the math, that is printing about 2 reams of paper which this printer just chugged along and completed without any problem. Our previous printer was a small laser printer that would overheat after 120 sheets. So this last project would have been impossible.I don't print nearly that quantity, but I do print 11x17 drawings for work and I've also printed several of my photos at the full 13x19 size with luster paper and the quality is stunning. They look just as good as the professional services that I've used for photos. I also have printed bluray and dvd blanks and it prints those disks perfectly as well.In the month that we've been using this printer, we've gone through 4 reams of paper plus all the photo printing and the black ink is still about 70% full (most of the printing for school is black). The color ink is still 85% full.I only have two disappointments. One is that with the volume of printing we do, the paper cassette must be refilled frequently. The second is how long it takes to print on card stock. Each card stock sheet takes about 2 minutes to print, and it's single sheet feed so you need to be feed each sheet in manually. It's about as long as printing a full color photo. However, these are minor issues for me. Filling the paper is easy and quick. Also, we don't need to print a lot of card stock, and it is much better than paying 50 cents a sheet at the office supply store printing department which is a 15 minute drive for me.Overall, this printer has impressed me more than any other printer I've ever owned.
I bought my first one because I wanted to get a really solid sublimation printer that could print professional quality, larger scaler prints. I bought both printers via the same Amazon seller, roughly 5 months apart and use them for slightly different purposes.I craft, and have been getting into it more seriously and was debating opening a small Etsy shop. My goal was really to be able to pay for my supplies, and maybe a bill or two. Mainly I my purchase was for myself and my family. I want to create things and display them vs paying someone else to do so.I have used each printer a few times a week. I have not had the need to print a borderless print on the one I use for sublimation, however, I have tried to print borderless on the one I use for prints and small ... MoreI bought my first one because I wanted to get a really solid sublimation printer that could print professional quality, larger scaler prints.

My goal was really to be able to pay for my supplies, and maybe a bill or two. Mainly I my purchase was for myself and my family. I want to create things and display them vs paying someone else to do so.I have used each printer a few times a week. I have not had the need to print a borderless print on the one I use for sublimation, however, I have tried to print borderless on the one I use for prints and small posters. I bought the second one out of strong desire to see it in its intended use, as I was pretty satisfied with the sublimation one.Out of the 30+ prints I have done one the second one, using the driver provided by Epson (I am on a new MacBook), I have not once had a successful borderless print. 9.99999 times out of 10 the image itself is crooked when using the manual feed for thicker paper, or cut off, or both.Not to mention the number of times that you load, reload, cancel, cancel again, load, cancel, and reload the paper because the printer does not want to recognize the commands you have sent it when trying to print on larger paper. I have made the settings on the physical printer so that it should only recognize the commands from my print settings via laptop. Getting one page to load can sometimes take several minutes, let alone the frustrating experience of trying to print multiples when trying to print via the manual tray (thicker paper feed). Even loading the rear tray is a crap shoot in if the paper will jam if you are trying to load more than 2 pieces.The one I use for sublimation, is fine, but I probably could have gotten by with something smaller (which is my fault, not the printers). I wish I would have skipped purchasing this printer again, who gives a crap what the images look like if trying to actually get them printed makes you want to go all Office Space style on the printer itself up?Save yourself the frustration.
I have generally spent my life with HP printers, and the last 10 years have been a rough go as their quality has tanked. My point of this printer was NOT to run millions of pages of documents but to be able to print high quality color on various media's beyond copies paper, and also print with Bleed (so all the way to the edge). I've had it now 3 weeks and am in love with this thing. The quality of the unit its-self is stunning and the ink philosophy is not only cost effective, but brilliantly implemented. I have not used it a lot, and with any inkjet printer - time is typically the problem. I'll say that this printer has an outstanding number of moving parts. (Metaphorically and physically), but it wildly exceeds my quality expectations in printing so far.

(Metaphorically and physically), but it wildly exceeds my quality expectations in printing so far. On Premium photo material this generated 5x7 photos that exceed what I had reprinted at a professional photo place. (Mostly because I could do the corrections myself at home). The software that comes with it is 'meh', but I'm an adobe user, so beyond the drivers I don't care - and the drivers work. I did give the photo printing software a run, and it worked and made a stunning photo --- but then crashed the application on a MAC, which I thought was weird. But again. I don't care, I bought it for the printer not the silly amateur software (And anyone buying this grade of printer 'should' be in the same boat). So all in all, a really great value for what it can do. Again, my only concerns are how this will perform over time. Inkjets are notoriously bad with age. I hope Epson proves me wrong with this unit. I will also say - buy this printer for what it's good at. If your looking to run volumes of spreadsheets... This is not your printer. If your looking to print quality media adhoc like a professional print house would... Buy this.
