Im a graphic designer and I use a fancier version of an Epson eco tank printer at the office when I need to print large mockups. I have a lot of experience with printers. That printer at work is complicated. I actually enjoy using the ET-2750 because the menu is less complicated and the printer itself is much less finicky. This is the perfect printer for home office use. I was initially hesitant to purchase a refurbished version. The initial printer I received was a dud. I had a feeling there might be an issue when I unpackaged it and saw dust on the scanner plate. The initial printer I received would not charge ink (make sure you follow the set up instructions exactly). After spending some time with Epson over the phone to try to correct the issue to no avail, I asked Amazon to send me a replacement and they did so! The second printer arrived the following day and it is flawless. It took a little time to set up the ink charging and wifi, but it works as if new. Here are what I consider Epson ET-2750s pros and cons. Pros - Wireless printing - It came with surprising features, such as stock stationary (pictured). Its so useful to be able to print a calendar, graph paper, or a music sheet with a touch of a few buttons. - Ecotank ink lasts quite a while! - The size is perfect for a small space. I live in a studio apartment. This was a huge selling point for me. - Precise printing - You can tilt the screen up to read when standing in front of the printer, rather than sitting or crouching in front of it to see the menu - Borderless printing! This may not be important for a lot of people looking for a printer to cover their office needs, but I often need to print graphics and photos. Borderless printing is important in this scenario. - Double sided printing option (good for thicker stocks and not the recycled paper I use for normal documents) Cons - It is not a very accessible printer. This is not a problem for me, but for folks who have issues with eyesight may have trouble reading the menu. The screen is tiny! (I actually think its cute) Some of the menu pages are lengthy and require focus to read. - Ecotank may not be the right choice for people who are not comfortable with or open to learning more about printing processes. As a graphic designer, I do a lot of print work. You need to be detailed and pay attention to how you load the ink into this printer. For those who are used to color vs black cartridges, this might be an area of growth for you. Having to set paper settings every time you load paper is something youll have to get used to. Again, due to the level detail required in my work, this is not a problem for me. - My minor annoyance is the wifi set up process. My wifi has a long password. It is annoying to use two buttons to navigate the whole alphabet. When I updated my printers software I had to set up wifi again. First world problem. Im really excited about this printer and think eco tank is a great invention. Im looking forward to seeing how useful this printer will be in the years to come.
