About this deal

CameraWorld is acting as a credit broker offering finance products from Omni Capital Retail Finance Limited. NOTE: The Epson documentation also warns that if you let the ink tanks go below the bottom fill level line, this may also damage the printer. Epson doesn’t publish volume ratings for the ET-8500, but its shallow paper input drawers and meager 50-sheet output tray suggest that it’s in no way a high-volume AIO. With full Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and Ethernet connectivity, integrating this printer with your existing home set-up will be a breeze! When you tap on “Continue” in the Epson Smart Panel app to continue with the ink initialization process, there is a warning that pops up on the “text” string letting you know that “If all ink tanks are not filled with ink before you continue, you may damage the printer” and then asks you if the ink tanks are filled before it continues with the ink initialization process.

Just tap on the “Print Photos” button (shown in the first screenshot above), select the file location of the photo you would like to print (from Camera, Screenshots, Downloads, images from your texting apps, etc. The Epson ET-8500 and ET-8550 EcoTank Printers feature a range of upgrades that build off the success of their predecessors. When you see a message on the LCD screen, follow the on-screen instructions to replace the maintenance box.When I filled my printer’s tanks for the first time, there was a small amount of ink left in each bottle, and I ended up topping off the tanks with the remainder after approximately 400 prints. I also profiled a number of Epson higher-end papers, including Exhibition Fiber and Legacy Fibre, as well as quite a few third-party papers from Red River, Canson, and others. As you’ll see, their running costs are several times those of the ET-8500 and most other bulk-ink printers.

Making it easy to position and use your printer around the home or office is the built-in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct connectivity. The Pixma G7020 and G6020 can hold 350 sheets each from two separate sources, and the MFC-J805DW holds 101 sheets, with 100 in the main drawer and one in the override tray. A really nice aspect of the wireless set up was it dealt with any Windows network obstacles and resolved them.

In 30-plus years of reviewing photo printers, I have seen many breakthroughs, but there has been one constant throughout: the high costs of the inks used by these printers. A notable difference is the redesign of the ink dispersion system which has resulted in the removal of light cyan and light magenta inks and replaced with Pigment Black and Photo Grey inks. I selected from a list of paper designs that they had (you can also create your own) and the prints turned out beautifully! The innovative app also gives you full control of the printer's settings from your smartphone or tablet.

Personal Stationery – You can print “Design Paper”, “Ruled Paper” (which includes grid-style graph paper and music staff paper), “Writing Papers” (which is stationery paper), “Schedule”, and “Calendar” sheets. No, discerning viewers who study prints will notice the wider gamut of printers like the SureColor P700/P900 and Canon’s Pro-200/300. Print photos, copy documents, set up and troubleshoot your printer, and unleash creativity with a wide variety of artistic templates. fast enough to use the smallest Cyan/Magenta droplet sizes for printing large areas of light colour), and combined with blending the new Photo Grey ink, means the lighter inks are no longer necessary. The ink costs are more than three times that of the EcoTank, but are in line with traditional photo printers.By selecting “Various Prints” on the control panel, I found that I could do interesting prints directly from the printer like “Various copies”, “Personal Stationery”, “Greeting Card”, “Copy to CD/DVD”, and “Coloring Book”.
