Epson EcoTank ET-8500 A4 All-in-One Ink Tank Printer is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 114.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow - Fabulous Printer! We've been buying Epson printers for well over twenty years and are pretty blown away by this new printer's features - how things have changed from the 1990s! We chose the Epson ET-8500 printer for its ability to print on cardstock up to 1.3mm thick and also for the amazing value this printer provides with the Ecotank feature - i.e. 1000s of pages printed for minimum outlay. Really looking forward to getting creative with my new printer! The Epson Smart Panel App is also a wonderful bonus that I'm still navigating and hope to make the most of all that this app offers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Sleek This printer is compact and sleek. a few challenges with set up but figured it out. The trays seem flimsy so it will be interesting to see how long they last. The rear paper feed guide is a bit of a fiddle to open and close and when open detracts from the sleek design. I use the printer for art/textile work and so far its printing well on cotton, Tissuetex, silk organza, rice paper, tracing paper all of which I attach to carrier sheets. The prints are a bit streaky on prepared inkjet transparency film, I will have to work on that. Pretty happy so far.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Almost a good printer Let's get the first things out of the way, it's cheap to run and it does a pretty darn good job of printing photographs! Now the rest...... It made of flimsy plastic, I suspect the manual sheet food at the back and the whole front paper-tray / loading mechanism are made from brittleanium and will be lucky to last six months let alone two years. I couldn't find out how many sheets of paper it's supposed to hold but the answer is 'not many', don't keep your paper supply too far away or you're going to get fit getting more paper every ten minutes. Remember how I said it prints great photos...Pity about the software that comes with it though. I like to bulk buy my photographic paper in A4 size (hey, if you've bought a photo printer you're probably going to print quite a few) and print the photos in the middle of the sheet of paper. This allows me to print 4*6 or 5*7 or 8*10 photos on the same size paper and trim as required. There doesn't appear to be any option to select "Print my photo in the middle of the paper", all photos seem to print right at the edge, and to add insult to injury, the software doesn't seem to give you an option as to what size you'd like the photo printed at. I should be able to grab any file from my computer and ask the software to print it in my desired physical size (and crop as necessary) anywhere on the paper, aligned top, bottom, middle, wherever I want. In short, great print quality but let down by build quality and poor software.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loving this printer My previous printer had been cheap to purchase, but the ink costs were exorbitant. My new Epson ET8500 printer had an expensive initial cost outlay, but the benefits of not having to buy expensive ink all the time will balance out the purchase price. I’m loving the print quality on copy paper and the photos I have been printing are more than satisfactory. Even with all the experimenting I’ve been doing the ink level has hardly dropped. The printer was easy to set up and connect to Wi-Fi and works well with my Apple devices. Awesome!

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 4 out of 5 by from I had to review this to get the extra 12 mth warranty Like the others I had to review the printer to get the additional 12 month warranty. I haven’t yet used the printer. The setup was straight forward even though have no wifi. That is all I can really comment on. Forcing a customer to write a review at the start of ownership to get the extra warranty is a dumb idea.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chosen for the size color and print quality. Firstly my choice was actually the size and color followed by the ink tank printing capacity compared to cartridges. Second I was extremely impressed by the Epson set up guide via my telephone giving me clear step by step instructions. Once the set was complete the WIFI connection to both my Telephone and my computer worked spot on. (Hooray no more cables to print) So far I have found the print quality for my day to day work is excellent. I have not tried the color photo printing yet. All in all i am a happy camper.

Questions & Answers

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.
