I love the amount of printing this machine does its INCREDIBLE!!!! BUT... one of the selling points for me is double sided printing. I asked the man if the ET-4500 can print double sided and he SAID YES but NO it does not I found out that yes you still going to siting and select "2-sided" right under that it says "* Note you will have to manually flip" here is the thing though... you will also only be able to add one sheet at a time or it will take the other sheets from the back paper feeder quicker then you have time to flip it and put it back in. So you will end up with 2 sheets that are one sided. I am very upset I do a a lot of printing and it takes to long to get thru 70 pages...

Flip manually to print double-sided...?

It’s the best I’ve ever had. Two years ago I took my chances on the eco-tank concept and I’m thrilled with it. I still have more than half if my original ink left. I don’t think twice about printing anymore. It used to be a fearful conquest never knowing how much ink would be used per page. Awful! I’ll never go back. Thanks Epson!

Love this printer!

Extremely happy with this printer. Have used it extensively already and it is better and more cost effective than our color laser. Very satisfied

Awesome Printer

Regret buying this printer and recommend no one else buy it either. Used lightly for a year and now prints crooked. Don't try to copy something unless you have 5 minutes - it's that slow.

HATE this printer

I have had this printer for 6 months. It has never failed me.

Love this printer

This printer will save you on ink. It just won't print vibrant colors, no matter what setting I use. It skews the paper just a little each time when it feeds it. The guide on one side is too small and too low to prevent it. This results in everything being off by about 1/8th inch from top to bottom. Not a problem for most printing, but if you are doing crafts it makes things a little tricky.

Skews the paper

Sucks! Brock in a month

There is not enough written instructions on how to use the copier, scanner or fax functions on the machine. Also the color is dull and the printer prints slowly.

Not very Happy

I am not that happy with this printer. I can not change the copy from printing a copy with a boarder. Also it is very slow. I prefer to have a larger paper tray also.

ET-4500 Review

I would recommend this for the amount of ink you can put in it.
It needs a higher resolution. the colors do not come out the same as what is on my computer screen.

Ink lasts

good quality product

Bought this printer to replace an epson that was 5years old. When compared to this printer, old would not only print 5:1 pages (roughly) but the prints would look better. Can’t even explain the slowness of the scans. Bottle refill cost and ease is nice though. Wish I could exchange it... very disappointed.

Slow! Ohh so slow.

I have had the printer for a month now, and so far so good. Installation was easy enough.

Easy to set up.

It takes 6 to 9 minutes to scan a picture or document. Why?

One major problem

Off and on when the paper wheel is moving, there is a limited stress or grinding sound. I attempted to deal with Walmart over it; no go. The ink is easy to handle. On rare occasion there has been a software glitch where I had to delete the software and start from scratch install!

Good features; few issues

Best printer ever could not be happier with this product

rinter

I had a lot of trouble with the printer. Matter of fact I received 5 printers prior to my getting one that works. However after I received the one that works the picture quality is great. You have to have better quality control. 
I applaud the company for working with me until they had me satisfied.

Great picture quality when I finally received one that works

I just got the Eco 4500, 10/11/17, and so far, so good. Set up took about 1.5 hours. The thing that moved me from HP (HP 6010 All-in-one) was the high cost of ink cartridges. Now that Epson has created this Eco System, I am looking forward to NOT spending a fortune on cartridges that get 3-500 copies @ 50.00 a piece.

First Epson in 18 years

GOT MY NEW Epson TODAY... MY LAST EPSON PRINTER LASTED 10 YEARS SO I WAS SURE TO BUY ANOTHER ON. EASY SET UP 45 MINS FROM BOX TO DESK, PRINTING, AND FAX SET UP. SO I'M HAPPY

EASY SET UP

I have owned the above for about a month or so. I find it very slow to begin to print and actually to print. I have had some software issues where the "troubleshooting" component of my computer was able to fix. The ECO tank feature is great

VERY slow in printing

Purchased to save Ink and its already lived up to its promise

Works Wonderful Setup was Perfect

Print, scan, fax, wireless. I have had this printer for 16 months and I haven't added ink yet. The only down-side is: sometimes it won't copy a stack of papers through the automatic feeder. But I will still never go back to the cartridge printers!

What a great printer!

Mary little printer..a little slow on printing after sending print command from phone.
Otherwise, fine purchase...

No ink cartridges... yeah!!

Easy to set up from the box and connect wirelessly. After that, I'm lost. How do I enlarge or shrink? How do I print lighter or darker? It's not intuitive, no printed instruction manual was included, and online instructions are inscrutable. What a mess! I deeply regret this purchase.

I hope it saves me money, nothing else is good

Best printer that I have ever owned. Highest quality print that I have seen. Easy to set up.

Outstanding printer

I am glad I got this machine. Fills my needs. Love the wireless feature.

Very efficient and productive.

This is a great printer. The fact that it saves you money on ink because it has the eco ink tank is the best.

I bought this about a month ago and am pleased with it now. But it is so much different from my old all-in-one, that it took me a while to figure out how to do all of
the operations. I had to call tech support to figure out how to use some of the operations. That is probably because I am pretty much old school on everything, and it takes a while for me to figure things out.

I like the cartridgeless ink!

I bought this a month ago and within two days I had to contact customer support. If you hookup a phone line it will screw up the setup. Once support guided me through the process it was easy.

Paper jams are common, particularly on the rear paper feed. To copy a document is not an easy process. Scanning is also a similar challenge and my advice is to use your on screen programming vs the printer menus. 

The ink system is fabulous although a little challenging to figure out how much remains. Always run it as low as possible or you will be wasting. They caution you not to run it dry.

The price is steep but the quality seems good

I bought this 3 months ago. I cannot copy on it. I just downloaded new drivers hoping this would correct the problem. It keeps telling me that the paper source setting is invalid. I have followed directions many times to correct the setting, but it does not reset the paper size. I don't know what else to do. It also does not have a copy preview for me to look at before I print either. Not happy with this printer.
