Epson EcoTank ET-8500 A4 All-in-One Ink Tank Printer is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 24.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow Wow, great product. Easy to use. Quality of the photos are excellent. Quiet and smooth working. The CD included is not for Mac. I needed to download from Epson website.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So far, so good! I have just installed this printer and found it quite easy to do. All up, it took just over an hour - slowest part was downloading the online firmware to my PC. I chose this model as I mainly want to use it for printing good quality photos and am delighted with my first attempt. Having the extra ink bottles makes a huge difference in the quality. I’m sure that with a bit of practice I will get better. Would recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Superb prints once settings correct. Does superb prints if all the settings are correct. Printed album of about 100 photos as a gift, using a Mac. - fussy about paper and will give bad results if settings / paper are not correct - not clear if the printer’s settings control paper type or the computer’s. - pro quality paper has to be fed through rear tray. Thick paper setting makes no difference. I’d most likely make similar comments about any printer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible The only thing worse about this printer is the customer service. The printer is constantly glitching. The paper won’t load, it won’t connect to the internet etc. for a very expensive home printer it is absolute junk. I returned the product for servicing and they returned it a week later claiming to have identified no faults. It still doesn’t work…Epson then called to ask about my experience. I explained the issues that I was having.. they said “we are sad to hear that. But actually no they couldn’t help. “ Don’t buy this printer

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Expensive but worth every cent. I love the ET-8500 printer. It replaced my Canon inkjet and Brother laser printers and out performs both by miles. It is super fast printing documents and extremely quiet. Scanning is also a breeze. An added bonus is that it freed up space on my desk.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Eco Tank ET-8500 All in One Ink Tank Printer I was looking for a printer that would print high quality photos as the printer I was using did produce top quality photos but just before Christmas 2023 it decided to pack up and die! My computer technician palmed me off with a new printer that would give me the same quality. Suffice it to say it did not. I scoured the web to find a printer that would and this Epson Eco Tank ET8500 delivered my requirements perfectly. Very happy with this purchase, although very much on the expensive side.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best printer I have had So far I am pretty impressed with this printer. I wanted one that had a good photo print and good for the environment. It is quiet fast while printing. Just ran in a bit of trouble with very cheap photo paper. I also love that it automatically prints both sides.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Photo printer Great printer. I bought it for printing photos. Amazing photos and so easy to fill tanks not cartridges. I wouldn't go back to the cartridge ones now. East to use with an app on yr phone.

Questions & Answers

Can this printer be used for direct to film printing? If yes would it be compatible with the special inks needed?

Asked by: Tori
Thanks for your question Tori. It may be possible with a conversion kit, however, this would fall outside the normal operation for this printer, and would void the warranty if found to cause a fault. We sadly do not range any DTF specific printers. Hope this helps clarify! ^CO

can the 8500 print on card stock - what is the max gsm paper it can print on? and is there a bypass paper feed?

Asked by: Samantha
Great question Samantha. Epson state the printer is able to accept specialty media up to 1.3mm thick through the manual input tray at the bottom. Primarily designed as a photo printer, we recommend using the paper types suggested on Epson's website specifically, to avoid any potential issues.
