Epson ET-8550 A must buy
This device is absolutely AWESOME! I just bought it, and after owning many printers over the years, I can say the print quality and performance of this inkjet are truly astonishing.
The borderless printing results depend somewhat on the media you use, but overall the quality at this price point is outstanding. On top of that, the ink costs are very reasonable compared ...

Slow, subpar paperweight
This has to be the slowest inkjet printer I have ever owned. Even when setting is at standard print quality. It took over 90 minutes to print a 23 page design presentation after it randomly cancelled the print job twice during the process. The print quality on matte presentation paper is also subpar. I wish I could get my $750 back. Garbage bound.

Amazing prints but requires a bit of learning
This printer prints amazing. I will say though, and the reason for my 4 star instead of 5 star, is there is a learning curve. Perhaps it is just me. I use an ipad. On my old Epson ET 2800 (i think) I could just send whatever to printer. When i use that technique for this printer the printed page is not formatted properly. The only way i could get the page to look like t...

Pizza wheels destroy what was almost amazing printer.
I love this as a basic printer... but one FATAL flaw for those hoping to use it as a photography printer (which you could be mistaken for given its calle dthe Eco Tank PHOTO printer. If you print on any sort of glossy paper (and much if not all luster) there are visible vertical "pizza wheel" marks that will show in reflections for all prints. That with the (attractivel...

I purchase my ET-8550 about a year ago. The problems seem to be around the paper feeding into the printer. The help file tells me to load paper in tray 2 - this printer has no trays!!! Is there a fix for this problem. I had to print a proposal today and could not do it. So I went to the library and printed it - it was not free!!! Please send me information on a fix for ...

NICE AND THE INK USE IS VERY EFFECIENT
NOT LASER QUALITY BUT THE INK GOES A LONG WAY. THE SETTINGS AND TRAY USE TAKE SOME TIME TO FIGURE OUT.

Extremely flexible and economical if confusing printer
I replaced a Canon Prograf 1000 with this Epson printer. The Epson can deliver high quality prints on up to 13”x19” paper and do so MUCH more quickly than the Canon with a lot less wasted ink. However the techs who designed this printer packed so many features into it (including the ability to print directly on a CD) that it takes some time to learn it. I spent a go...

I LOVE THIS PRINTER
I got this for my business to print detailed medical reports. I was overwhelmed when I unboxed it and set it up (took a few hours) but once it was set up and I printed some of my report I fell in love with it! One of my best purchases ever!! I now use it for a lot of things and my laser printer is now a distant backup that I'm using less and less.

Excellent
Staples followed through perfectly. Thank you. I never was totally satisfied with an Epson ET-4800 purchase in 2023. I decided to upgrade in order - hopefully - to print a high quality and very personalized church bulletin for our Father’s Celebration of Life service. Job well done! But one should note that some of this success was because of the paper/s. If I may I’d ...

worst piece of hardware I have bought in the last 20 years.
An absolute nightmare. Nothing works properly. It constantly says there is no paper, even when there is paper. Because its 1mm from the feeder. The paper constantly get stuck. The larger posters, print out missing lines everywhere. They removed a print size that I was regularly using from the defualts on the upgrade. And it was the size I bought the printer from. Its li...

2 years and still happy. I had multiple printers throughout the years and this one is far the best. My last one was the ET-2850 which was decent but did not have the photo quality I was looking for but is good for the kids. This ET-8550 prints out beautiful 13" X 19" photos from my drone shots to close ups of my pets with amazing results. Exercise it regularly with nozz...

good printer, must be wired apparently
I know Epson describes this as wireless printer but that is only true about 87% of the time (Per page printed). I moved the printer where it is absurdly close my computer and it will still fail by seizing up (usually after you printed about 70% of the document). Epson's only solution, is to wire the printer, (while not admitting that their product is defective).

It is OK
It was easy to set up. It's printing speed is a little slow compared what i replaced. The Photp Software wants me to purchase the Drivers so I can run that software. It should be free.
