Customers say
Customers find the printer to be good for personal use and appreciate its quick print speed. However, the print quality receives mixed feedback, with some saying it prints nicely from iPad while others find it questionable. Setup experiences are mixed, with some finding it easy to set up while others say it’s not entirely intuitive. Moreover, connectivity issues are reported, particularly with WiFi setup being especially poor. Additionally, the printer’s build quality is criticized as flimsy, and opinions on value for money are divided between those who find it economical and those who say it’s not worth the price.

Add a review
Nifty little printer with much lower running costs than I’m used to.
This replaces a laser printer I’ve had for a number of years. The cost of running the laser became prohibitive, or rather not a good use of money. So far I’ve been very happy with this printer, a much smaller footprint, and very similar functionality (scanner, etc). The ink seems to last a while and is cheap enough to replace. The colours are obviously not as vivid, although I’ve not tried photo paper with the printer yet. Top marks. Economical and good value.
I would change to an EcoTank if I were you.
First time I have ventured into printing with refillable ink and I must say I am very impressed. I have had many Epson printers all with cartridges. I have always bought compatible ones and have constantly dodged warnings, naggings and refusing to print because of it, and they never lasted that long anyway. This is a game changer. The reservoir is huge compared to the cartridges offering up to 72 cartridges worth (they say) of ink. And you get this included with your order. Even when pricing original Epson ink it will work out cheaper and no nagging. Plus, you are doing your bit for the environment and giving the manufacturer all the money to invest. True the printer is a lot dearer but will work out just as cheap or cheaper if you are keeping it for the duration. The actual filling with ink is a doddle. The bottles have been ingeniously designed from the ground up to fit each tank individually. They don’t spill and the ink stops flowing when enough ink is in the tank. I was a bit apprehensive about doing this initially but it’s easy and not messy in the slightest.Epson have put a lot of effort into setting up their EcoTank models. You can install it perfectly and easily from new by downloading the setup APP to your smartphone. This communicates with the printer from the outset and expertly guides you through the whole initial set up process with pictures and confirmations at each stage. Leaving you with an initialised product ready for connection to your computer. This to is easy as it links itself to a specific setup page just for the model and does all the work for you just by responding to the questions. Mine was a Windows 11 installation. Very clever and very simple. It all takes a bit of time but patience is a virtue.The new software is good too. One example is organising scans from the scanner. The software is intuitive. Organising pages is easy and it can even intelligently rotate pages. This more or less does away with spending a lot more on double sided scanning as there is so little effort in just popping the pages back on the ADF knowing there is minimal effort needed for sorting.It takes up a small footprint for the amount it does. It is relatively light as well. It does feel a little plasticky but I don’t think so much so that it will fall apart. It just appears functional and is. The screen is small and is not touch meaning you have to keep pressing buttons and then okaying. Shame I would have loved the touch screen so much better. Also, when you lift the scanner unit it only holds in place when you force it upward so that it locks. I found this nerve racking as I thought it might break, I am sure this could be better manufactured.I will not be printing photos on it. For me it is meant for office type documents and they have all printed really well so far. It prints double sided also. I am more than happy to give anything I print to anyone who I believe should find it much more than acceptable. I do use decent paper.Perhaps the only down side is it seems to be a little slow in everything it does. Don’t get me wrong in no way a deal breaker for me but if you were in the office and want everything at speed then perhaps another model may better suit.I note some people are reporting a WiFi issue mine worked straight away although I cannot know yet whether this will come to haunt me. But there is the 5 year warranty which Epson are currently offering on their EcoTank models.Overall, I am extremely pleased so far. Far better than my Epson’s of old in terms of hardware, ink printing and software. A great upgrade. At this stage I am glad I bought it. My major gripe was Amazon reducing the price 2 days after I bought it.
Faulty Epson ET-4950 printer
I received the printer in good condition and went through the setup process. Downloading the drivers and files was easy and the software setup was completed with firmware updates too. After, filling the ink tanks with the supplied ink the printer has to go through an initial ink charging process which should take about 10 minutes with the power button flashing. All was well but the flashing never stopped and the printer would not complete the charging setup sequence. I contacted Epson support, which is not easy using there chat line and when through various repair routines to no avail. Then arranged a replacement product to be sent the next day and the faulty product collected. However, when the replacement arrive it was just a base unit with no ink replacement or power leads in an unmarked cardboard box, not what I was expecting when I just bought a brand new printer, complete with £30 of ink included. I rejected the delivery of this on the grounds as not a like for like replacement. Getting in touch with Epson about this is an absolute nightmare of a task as throughout conversations they will not include an email address or contact number which works, so one is left with a faulty product after spending £370! To get this far I have spent the best part of 5hrs trying to get a like for like replacement. I read some bad reviews on Epson printers and dealing with their customer service system which is not fit for purpose. Will never buy Epson again.
Great value, ink lasts forever
Switched to this after dealing with a Brother printer that wasted so much ink with those chip-controlled cartridges, and I’m glad I did. This prints really well and the EcoTank system is fantastic — the ink just keeps going. I’ve run off nearly 500 proxy MTG cards and it’s still only about halfway down, which is amazing value.The only downside is it can sometimes go slightly out of alignment, leaving faint print lines that you notice in the light. Not a dealbreaker though, as the overall quality and savings more than make up for it. Definitely worth the money if you print a lot.
Great Printer ET-3850
The Epson EcoTank ET‑3850 delivers excellent value overall. If your priority is low‑cost printing with the flexibility of scanning/copying and decent document output, this is a strong choice. The primary trade‑offs—slower colour speed and less refined photo/colour output—are acceptable for many home‑office use cases.I use the printer daily and it performs great.
Exceeds my expectations
Had this printer a couple of weeks now and so far, so good. It exceeds all of my expectations, connects quickly to the internet, easy to use, print speed and quality is excellent. We bought this to replace our old printer that was forever dropping out on the internet and would pick and choose what it wanted to print, so this is by far so much better and definitely more reliable. Would I recommend this printer? Yes! I absolutely would.
… gerne wieder und habe das Gerrät immer noch und läuft ohne Klagen.Benutze es ca. 1 x im Monat
S’adaptent parfaitement
Das ist ein sehr gutes Gerät. Druckt hervorragend und hat mir schon eine Menge an Geld erspartan Tinten-Patronen.
Printing blank pages
Très bonne qualité d’impression tant sur du papier ordinaire ou du papier glacé photo.Il faut juste s’assurer de bien régler les paramètres.Le recto verso fonctionne bien avec un temps de séchage entre les couches.Le scanner n’est pas très rapide mais très correct. Le logiciel de scan ne permet pas de réglages avancés mais il fait le travail.Fonction copie autonome bien pratique et plus vite disponible qu’une imprimante laser.
