10 reviews for Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 All-in-One Supertank Printer

Rated 3 out of 5
Brandon Anderson – November 29, 2023
Reasonable printer
Columbus, OH
It took a bit of trial and error before the print speed felt right. My biggest gripe is the print quality, which underperforms a little.

Happy with the overall reliability
Baton Rouge, LA
One thing I really appreciate is the print speed. The overall reliability is decent, nothing to complain about but nothing amazing either.

Would buy again
Fresno, CA
So far, three weeks in, the print quality is still holding up nicely. The print speed is acceptable, though a couple of the reviews online oversold it a little.

Middle of the road
Santa Ana, CA
Print quality took a little getting used to at first. The ink system efficiency gave me some trouble early on, though it’s manageable now.

Solid overall reliability
Arlington, TX
I did a lot of research before buying, and it’s rare to find a printer where the wireless setup actually lives up to the listing. What stood out most to me was the overall reliability. The print speed on this printer has genuinely impressed me.

Happy with the print speed
Fresno, CA
Honestly, the scanner quality alone makes this printer worth it. Even my wife noticed how good the print quality is. The wireless setup works better than I expected going in.

Happy with the build quality
Paris
My brother-in-law and I picked this up last month and overall reliability has held up well after regular use. Overall reliability is where this printer really stands out. Compared to what we had before, the wireless setup is a big step up.

Solid print speed
Spokane, WA
After a few weeks of use, I’ve owned a few of these before and the wireless setup here is genuinely better. Not blown away by the ink system efficiency, but it’s serviceable. Not the cheapest option out there but the quality shows.

No regrets so far
Chicago, IL
I wasn’t expecting the print quality to be this good for the price. I’d say the build quality is about average for this price range. Good value for the price, all things considered.

Works better than expected
Las Vegas, NV
Bought this for my dad, and so far the ink system efficiency hasn’t given us any trouble at all. The build quality on this printer has genuinely impressed me. As a longtime Epson customer, this one didn’t disappoint.
