Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5880 Wireless Color All-in-One Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier, Fax, Ethernet and PCL/Postscript, White

I've been printing about 200 8.5x11 photos so far among couple sheets of basic black and white stuff so far. The first set of bottles (black and colours) will be loaded in the printer head and tube when setting it up; the second set of bottles is half through so far; expecting 400 photos printed on 8.5x11 photo (matte pigment compatible) paper. Since it's an all pigment ink (both black and colours), special photo paper are needed -- keep it in mind. Glossy regular paper is usually for DYE ink; not pigment. Beware (and search for Luster or Matte photo paper -- still searching tho) ! With that said, printing speed is awesome, cleanliness and characters refinement of the prints are all excellent. I cannot compare with similar priced printers tho but for a grand spent, well, it feels like it. Double paper tray is also very welcome to keep stuff far from dust as possible. On the very nice side, when you choose to scan a document from the printer touch screen, it allows it to be automatically transferred to your windows workstation over network. On the low side; after upgrading the firmware, the wifi connection tends to disconnect once every week; still testing to determine how often and what's the cause AND I will jack in an ethernet cable soon. Epson Canada support have been present and quick to respond -- suggesting a master reset then to communicate with then if nothing's changed. Fair enough. Software for Windows 11 can by invasive a bit but nothing an uninstaller can't handle. Keep in mind that ink level that Windows is aware of is only a wild guess; there is no actual real reservoir readout. I will post an update for a longer term review.

Bought this printer in particular because of the full duplex scanning capability. The connectivity options on this printer are great. For scanning I just created a shared folder on my computer and the printer drops all the scans into there. Print quality is excellent and fast too.

It works very well and is much faster than ET-4750 and ET-4760. The only draw back is that it seems to stretch a scan onto 2 pages sometimes.

Mala compra. Devolví la impresora y ya lleva mas de 2 semanas y no he recibido mi reembolso

I purchased the Epson ET-5880 for our small office to fulfill our need for a good color printer. I read a number of a reviews about the printer before making the purchase. Most were positive, so I went ahead and ordered the printer. I'm very pleased with this printer. I had no problem connecting it to our network. Installing the drivers on four computers was easy as well. I should note that the printer comes with a CD for installation, but I chose to use the NEWER drivers that were on Epson's website instead. You should do that as well. Filling the ink tanks on the printer was very simple. Not so much as a drop of ink was spilled. The ink bottles are keyed so that one cannot put the wrong color ink in a tank no intended for that color. Once filled, the unit goes through a charging process (Epson's term) to get ink to the print heads. Yes, it uses a little ink, but Epson also supplied a second set of ink bottles so that the ink tanks are full after the charging process. The printing is very fast, yielding high quality print. I suggest using 22 or 24 pound paper, especially if printing on both sides of the paper. I was particularly interested in seeing how this printer would handle scanning. I do a lot of two-sided scanning. The scanning software, SCAN 2 and SCANSMART, both worked well. SCAN 2 gives the user lots of options, but might be overwhelming to a newer user. The SCANSMART software is more visual and gives the user enough features to adjust and/or crop images as needed. The software does provide the option of creating a searchable PDF file, which is something I like as I deal in contract documents. Of course, one can print from a cell phone or tablet if desired. There's even a remote print feature where one can print via email from anywhere where there's an Internet connection. Overall, I'm pleased with this printer. It's not inexpensive, but it will easily meet the needs of a small office.
