EcoTank ET-2720 Wireless Color All-in-One Supertank Printer with Scanner and Copier - White

I bought this printer over five years ago . it is still going strong ! It is my second one. The first i bought in 2015 and gave to my daughter. I. Both are/were easy to use and set up. I am 77 years old and wrote a weekly newspaper column and am now writing a book. . The separate ink works great and is so so much cheaper and lasts longer than a cartridge, ! It prints well . I only had to contact Epson once (easy to do ) and it was my fault . I use the scan, double sided, change of size etc. well worth the fair price !

Irrelevant Backstory: Before I bought this printer I owned two printers; A hp and a cheap canon. The canon ink was as much as the printer and nothing is wrong with the hp, I just wanted a cute white one to go in my office. Upon searching I came across his cartridge free printer which I didn’t even know was an option. The reviews were great and it seems this printer is more green than the usual option so I decided to give it a shot. Unboxing and Setup: Super simple to set up; just follow the instructions. -Take off all the protective tape. -Load the printer with ink then turn the printer on -let the ink run into the printer which takes about 10 minutes -It says you can adjust later but you want to ADJUST NOW otherwise your prints will have lines in them. During the adjustment it will print three papers the first paper is just text, the second paper it prints a multiple lines of squares and you go through and you choose the square with the least amount of lines in them. This step ensures that your prints don’t have lines. The third print it prints multiple sets of parallel rectangles and you have to choose a set of rectangles that do not overlap or have separation between them. It was hard to selected the set since they are black rectangles but I just chose the set right before the set where I could see separation. Next, I connected the printer to my WiFi using the control panel; this was easy. I was able to select the epson printer from my phone after and it printed without flaws and fast. The printer does have a quiet setting and I turned it on. The printer is a bit quieter but of course not silent. Afterwards, I filled the printer up with the rest of the ink. The levels go down after running through the printer and there is a small amount left in each bottle after initial fill. I didn’t adjust again after and it still printed flawlessly. Overall I am very satisfied from this printer but only time will tell. PROS: Ease of setup Long periods of time in between ink replacements (I assume) Size (smaller than I thought) Look (pretty) Fast prints Flawless printing The control panel swivels The screen has a backlight CONS: (More like a wish list because I knew the printer was this way was when I bought it.) -Top loading (need more space for the printer because it is top loading; wish it was bottom loading) -does not print double sided by itself (you have to manually flip and print)

The Epson EcoTank ET-2720 is amazing! Wireless printing is seamless, and the supertank system saves so much on ink. Prints, scans, and copies with excellent quality. Compact, easy to set up, and perfect for home or small office use. 🌟

UPDATE: Garbage!!! Can't print ANYTHING anymore... Print head cleaning no longer does anything. Maybe I need to remove the ink and put fresh ink? I hardly got any use out of this thing for what I paid, and this is a purchase I really regret. Colors are mismatched and all over the place, can't even print B&W without smudges and missing lines. The only thing that works is the scanner. Otherwise, this thing is totally useless.... ---------------- I want to like this printer a lot more.. it has a decent enough scanner, the ink has decent capacity. That being said, after printing a huge amount of legal documents (about 60 pages) that had many colors and images one night, the prints started becoming blurry and VERY distorted, and it's been a lasting problem. Even just printing my car insurance IDs would come out all smudged and completely illegible. Luckily, the printer does have a self-cleaning feature but it does take a few minutes and it's a smart idea to run a test page (also a built-in feature). It's just a bit irritating that now, if I want to print pretty much anything, I have to use the cleaning feature to make the print heads work properly, and usually this involves wasting at least one page of paper. Now printing one real quick paper or document that I need goes from being just a moment, to at least 5 or 10 minutes. It's been about 4 times now, printing a return label for a package, printing my insurance cards, printing an invoice, and then a page for a friend, each time respectively months apart, the first round always comes out smudged and distorted. Then I have to run the print-head cleaner, then print it again, and it just repeats. I guess I'll have to pull it apart if I ever need to print a packet of important documents, or I'll just go to an actual print shop.

I’ve had it for 5 years and it’s going strong.

I started having ink issues about six months into use; the black leaks from the bottom. The printer has never been moved from its original placement. Neither Asuirion nor Epson can/will work with the issue. Using the User Guide, I constantly refilled and cleaned as suggested. Now my blank ink only works when cleaning and does not work at any other time, asides from leaking. Once it has self-resolved, it repeats at any point where ink is needed. I've also only refilled ink TWICE. Today was attempt number three, and still no black printing, despite a complete cleaning and refill per the user manual. You also cannot visibly see when the ink is at the refill lines; the frosted look on the 2720 model impairs it. The app that is supposed to be able to link never linked or registered my product either, which was a huge issue. Understanding the refurbished aspect. I feel I wasted all my money as I am now at the year mark with an expensive dust collector. When it was working, the images were good. Some settings had to be adjusted for quality reasons - but otherwise, in the year I've had the item, I've been able to use it for maybe 4-5 months total in between issues.

I was sold a used product when it was not advertised as such

Print heads were clogged, the cyan and magenta weren't coming out, had to deep clean numerous times to get it printing correctly. This is a first time buying a new printer that is clogged or ink wasn't printing... Asked the seller to return, and received no communication back from them at all. After a week of trouble shooting, watching videos and power cleaning and head cleaning the printer is finally printing almost perfectly. I wonder if the printer was "new" or maybe it's common in "new" printers to be clogged or not to print properly when installing.
