Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 EcoTank Wireless Wide-Format 5-Color All-in-One Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier and Ethernet

Comment

[Edit One Year Later: I still have about 1/3 of all my original ink tanks. Holy cow. I would normally have had to replace them 3 or 4 times at least by now. AND I still have the 2nd set of ink bottles that came with it originally. I am thrilled with the ink savings. Ive had a little bit of trouble keeping the ink heads perfectly clean. so I get those lines in my prints sometimes.] Ive had HP Officejets, a couple of Epson Stylus 800s from a decade ago, several Epson 4630s and recently two 4740s. I blasted the 4740s in my review of that printer. Both of them ran out of ink after about 375 pages and replacing the ink was going to run me $160. Ridiculous. So I was ready to swear off Epson forever. But then I saw this baby get announced. The idea of paying through the nose up front, but being able to print worry-free thereafter, well, it sounds fantastic. At least on paper. Ive only had this printer for a couple days, but so far Im very impressed and hopeful. Its a joy as you literally POUR fairly gigantic bottles of ink into this thing. And I dont know if this is universal, but mine included a full second round of ink bottles. It at least seems like Im swimming in ink now. This new incarnation of EcoTank is pretty slick. The bottles are designed so you cant connect them to the wrong spot and I couldnt find a way to make them spill. They only open up when theyre connected to their proper slot. Then they stop automatically when the tank gets full. They gave me enough that even after charging I still had a tiny bit of ink left over. And a full second round of ink that I didnt even touch yet. Ive only printed one 4x6 photo so far, but it is as good as Ive had printed at the store. The one thing Im tempted to complain about is the drawer system. At first I thought I would need an advanced degree to figure out how to use them. Once you see how they work, its not too complex, and its definitely ingenious. They find a way for you to have a separate drawer for normal sized paper, a smaller drawer for photo prints, and even a CD printing tray. But theyre super small. And theyre very close together. And awkward to get to. And hard to put paper into. And the output tray feels like youre breaking it when you open it. So I admire the way theyve packed so much into such a very small space. But I suppose in the end Id rather make this thing an inch or two taller in exchange for a little more room to work with those trays. So if my photos attach correctly . . . it looks pretty good. But that tray system: -I believe the top part is where the CD tray goes. -Below that is the paper output tray -Then the tiny little tray for 4x6s and such -Then the "main" paper tray for letter size and such. -You can see theres not much room to work in there, and when you extend the output tray, you cant access them at all. -Again, its actually very workable. But if youre burning through 500 sheets regularly, this isnt for you. However, my wife really likes how "small" it is. Its obviously wider than our other printers, but to her it seems more compact. I agree. Its wider, but very low profile. And it looks good when you close up the paper drawer and fold down the screen. I guess its made for less frequent, but higher quality printing than our other Workforce Pro types. So thats my ramble. I LOVE the idea. Ill have to check back in a year or two to see if the whole thing malfunctions or fails to last long enough for it to be worth the gigantic upfront cost. But for now it seems pretty awesome.

Spent days researching printers trying to find something that would provide above average photo quality, inexpensive prints, and a decent scanning functionality. My first attempt was a Brother Inkvestment printer which had relatively low ink costs but the print quality was very poor (trees turned red, colors were washed out). I was very disappointed with that printer and couldnt find anything on Amazon with consistently positive reviews so decided to go into an electronics store to compare print quality. Found the ET-7750 which had very good photo samples in the store so decided to make the plunge and buy the printer on Amazon (they were having a sale for $550). Took about an hour to setup (all very easy and straightforward, but the ink took a while to load). Immediately tested a photo print on glossy photo paper and did a side by side with the Brother print saved from earlier. The quality is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Really stunning photos with deep saturated blacks (thanks to the photo blank ink). The scanner works well, the printer is fast, have had zero issues with wireless, and paper jams have been infrequent. Even better, have done 20 high quality photo prints and the ink is essentially unused. I can tell the long term ink costs on this printer will be minimal. The only improvement I would like is to the quality of the paper trays/paper handling but still find that its okay (not as amazing as the rest of the printer but not a deal breaker). If youre looking for high quality photos, good text and graphics, good scanning, wireless, large format prints, and almost no ongoing ink costs, then this IS the printer. Unlike some people, I was not paid/did not get a free product to write this review :-)

Im going to preface this review with the fact that I print A LOT and so the 2 year supply of ink that came with this printer is almost gone in 3 months. Its the reason I wanted the eco-tank option and I am ok with that, as it is still cost effective on the ink usage. However, this printer also has a maintenance box which is very small and so I have also gone through the two boxes that came with the printer, despite never running a clean on this myself. I assume it automatically runs a clean periodically. Again this would not be an issue except for the fact that the maintenance box is not available to purchase as yet - not through Amazon, any Epson reseller or even directly from Epson themselves! as they "didnt expect anyone to need one so soon"!! That quote was from someone in their support team. So if you are buying this because you like the idea of the ink tanks for heavy usage then you might want to check that maintenance box is now available online.

Ive only had it a couple of weeks, but I have used it for printing self-published workbooks for a class I teach and it did a terrific job -quiet, fairly quick, good color, contrast and saturation. I also, as a photographer needed a printer that can do a reasonable job and photos. This surpasses my expectation. So far, Im very happy.

Late delivery by FedEx was the only problem. Install took about an hour - download should be started before anything else. Ink loading is clean, easy, and foolproof due to nozzle design. I did WiFi setup from the panel, so dont know if setup dialog could have found it. Text docs are crisp. Photos are very good. To test the scanner, I printed a color wheel, scanned, then printed. Scanner settings had to be changed to reflective (glossy photo paper) to get good results. Side by side comparison showed some slight color difference, but very little. I doubt that without a comparison, no one could see the color difference. 11x14 with high quality took several minutes, but the result was impressive. Ill update if I find anything significant.

It took me a while to work up the courage to buy the et-7750 at $550, given that the et-7700 I bought first would not feed paper at all. The tanks were extremely easy to fill and I was looking forward to printing some of my pictures. I returned the first et-7700 machine after talking with Amazon customer service. A week later I bought this et-7750. Same problem again, BUT I called Epson and got a real answer. IF you do not pull out the front paper support for printed sheets, the machine will not print. No where in the quick setup guide or users manual could I find this one piece of critical information. I am used to letting the paper spill out on my desk. First machine et-7700 was good, my fault for returning. This et-7750 works great, but on this series you must pull out the front paper support.

This is the slowest printer I couldve chosen! I bought to replace a Workforce and am seriously disappointed. Not only is it slow, but Ive not even used a fourth of the initial ink and its requiring the change of the "maintenance box" or it will not print. Yes, Ive wasted my money.

This ad on Amazon says it will print 19,000/16,000 black/color pages. This is an absolute lie. This printer printed 1,600 pages black/color mixed and it was empty of ink. This ad says that 2 years of ink come in the box. WOW, that is a big 100 yr lie. This ad does not mention that you have to replace a "maintenence box" quite often where ink gets dumped. They dont sell that item on Amazon. You have to go somewhere else, it might not be available at all $40? So, although the printer seems to be working well, its not very fast. It soaks up ink and its not what they say. You cant go by what this ad says, it absolutely wrong. This is going to cost you.

This is one nice printer. I have used Epson in the past and found that yes they are finicky about clogged nozzles. But they can be cleaned manually with a little help from online videos. My Epson XP-620 is about 4 years old and still produces really fine 8x10 prints with a little care. I still use it but it is not wide format and uses cartridges. The ET-7750 was very easy to set up both to print and wireless connection. Filling ink, flawless, did not spill a drop. What I found with the 3 Epson printers I have owned was using Epson ink and paper got the best results. Also selecting the correct paper for what you are trying to print is very important. Time will tell how long the ink lasts but there is a large amount in it when you fill it up. Print speed is relatively fast. There is also an extra maintenance box included. The only thing I do not like is some of the lids and trays are kind off flimsy plastic. I bought this printer because of the ink tanks , its wide format and Epsons ability to print quality photos.

First thing first, Im have been looking for a printer that is cost effective and able to print up to 11" x 17" size paper. This well packaged EPSON ET7750 printer seems to fit my needs. It occupies a a smaller foot print that those humongous expensive office printer. It is by far not the faster printer, neither it is slow. It does printing with good print quality at reasonable speed in small volume. Be sure to check this printer specifications to be sure of its printing speed and dimensions if it fits your needs. With the refillable inks, I can print cost effectively without ordering expensive ink cartridges. Moreover, the ET7750 printer connects wirelessly to the home network, and does wireless printing on both IOS and Andriod phones pretty reliably. Scanning works good as well. The negative I found is that the loading bay can small only fitting about 150-200 sheets of paper. It is therefore not for massive continuous business printing without having to reload the papers constantly. This is a feasible option if you are looking for a medium usage printer with smaller foot print that does 11" x 17" printing, Updates : I changed the review from 5 stars to 2 stars. There were two main reasons I now dont recommend this printer. First thing first, wireless network printing could be very turtle slow when you print a large amount of letter-size document. In fact, it was really slow even on our more than 100 Mbps network speed. I suspected the small on-board memory in printer to be the issue small causing it. Other reason was that you could not even load in a USB flash drive to print normal adobe pdf files. Even the most basic printer can do that. It seemed to me that the printer could only recognize jpeg and other photos file format only. Come on Epson! With that, I was really disappointed and I could no longer recommend this printer to anybody unless their sole printing needs are only for photos only at small volume.
