Epson EcoTank ET-7750 A3 Print/A4 Scan and Copy Wi-Fi Photo Printer, Black

I have had Epson printers for many years, and generally am very pleased. My last one gave me an "Ink Pad Full" message and stopped printing, searching for printers led me to this one.At nearly £500 it was a very considered purchase, but for the moment at least I am pleased to say that it was worth the decision. It was easy to set up, Inks are extremely easy to fill with no leakage at all experienced by me. The printer comes with 2 complete sets of ink bottles and the ink had around 3.5 years on the best before date. It is actually nice to be able to use genuine ink for once.Further more, there is a spare maintenance box included; the maintenance box is the new version of the ink pad, but is easily changed by yourself now rather than requiring unaffordable service from Epson. New maintenance boxes are around £9 too.The ink prints very well for both documents and photos, I have experienced no problems at all, save a little excess ink on the edge of a borderless photo once or twice.You will discover that it will not print unless you pull the output tray out, this is a good thing in my opinion as my wife always used to leave it in on the old printer resulting in a floor full of documents.If there were any remarks I could make, it would be that it seems a little expensive for a printer, but I am definitely not sorry that I bought it. Hopefully I will feel the same way three years from now.

I bought this printer to replace my broken HP PhotoSmart, which seemed to get through endless numbers of cartridges. This one is a little more compact and functional as you expect 5 years down the line. I do like the refillable tanks, which are easy to use and mess free. However, I agree with a previous review that the print output tray is a little flimsy given the price. Also, it also doesn't hold as much paper in the tray as I am used to, but sufficient.The ability to scan and email a document from my mobile phone is very useful. I have a Mac and I use the Mac Image Capture program to handle scans, which means I can do a multi-page pdf (I saw on a YouTube video that the inbuilt software only does single pages but I cannot verify that). Getting the first print to work from my Mac was easy (easier than Windows).The setup instructions could be clearer, switching between the setup app and the printer was not always crystal clear. The WPS wifi setup did not work for me and i resulted to typing in the password. It was just things like that which made it more difficult. It is not just plug and play, it does require some setup. There are some fantastic YouTube videos out there that make it easier though.I am pleased with my purchase so far.

The ET-7700 was well packed and there was no damage to any content on arrival. Unpacking was easy, although it is important to check everywhere on the printer to ensure all transit tapes are removed. Setup defaults to wireless network, whereas I needed to connect via Ethernet. Once I discovered how, everything ran smoothly. Filling the ink reservoirs is simple and foolproof, thanks to the unique built-in keys on both printer and ink bottles. I was surprised that - in spite of having twin toothed racks on the output tray, this was not motorised and needed to be pulled out in order for the printer to work. This is strange for two reasons: 1) Why have the racks if there is no corresponding motor drive? 2) In order to be a network printer, the output tray needs to be extended permanently which - IMO - could be easily damaged in a busy environment as it appears rather flimsy. If it were motorised, this problem would not arise.Some Menu items are difficult to find and a menu chart would greatly assist in the familiarisation process, especially when needing to use the rear feed slot. I felt that this was un-necessarily complicated and not at all intuitive. The scanner works well and the included software is OK, but the package includes software which is not intended for use with this model, leading to frustration as it does not install or work correctly and needed a telephone call to Epson to be told that it did not work with that model. WHY include it then?The carton contains ten bottles of ink, allegedly two years' supply. I have no way of gauging if this claim will prove to be accurate or otherwise at this time. The quality of the printed output, on a range of papers, is undoubtedly good, I just wish that the menus were better designed, the output tray was motorised and that the rear feed slot was easier to use.
