Epson EcoTank ET-3760 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier and Ethernet, Regular

When I saw an ad for this printer I thought it had to be too good to be true! Although I loved the quality of the output on my HP printer, I really hated to be raped for those low-capacity ink cartridges over and over again. When my old printer finally broke down I purchased this one and I am so happy with it, I would have gladly tossed my old one in the trash even while it was still working. If you are used to purchasing standard ink cartridges, the economics of this device will boggle your mind. It does an excellent job with standard printed pages and color graphics. I have not yet tried to print photos on actual photo paper but when I printed out a few pictures for a kids project on standard copier paper the results were really quite good, at least as good as my old printer. Even though third-party ink is available for this printer at a lower price, it is so economical to use I will continue to buy the Epson ink. My only concern is whether the dot-matrix printhead will stay clean in the years ahead since it is not replaced every time you add ink. So far I have run about two reams of paper through this printer and it has performed like a champ, and I have barely noticed the ink level drop. Which is another nice feature. The ink tanks are translucent and visible from the front of the printer. You can see exactly how much ink you have in each of the tanks. I never really trusted that the software-driven ink monitor on my old printer was really giving me all the pages that the cartridge was capable of. Once that old OfficeJet printer said that a cartridge was ready to be replaced, you simply were NOT going to do any more printing until you replaced it. The 3760 that I purchased does not come with a touchscreen however the menu is still very easy to navigate using the arrow keys and the enter button and I personally don't think it's worth the extra expense just to be able to tap the screen instead of a separate button. This will be a matter of personal preference. It is reasonably fast and quiet although there are undoubtedly faster inkjet printers. Quite honestly, I have never understood why so much emphasis was placed on speed. If you are really doing that much printing that a few extra pages per minute are going to be a big deal, you probably should be getting a laser printer anyway. I highly recommend this printer to anyone who is currently shelling out exorbitant amounts of money for those stupid plastic print cartridges.UPDATE:After four months I still have not had any problems with clogged printheads and print quality remains good. I don't use the printer every day so this was a concern. I can barely tell that I've used any ink. . I did take one star off because of the document feeder. Let me state categorically that in my opinion, THE DOCUMENT FEEDER IS COMPLETELY WORTHLESS. The instructions say that you can't feed a folded or creased page. The reality is you cannot feed ANY pages through the document feeder. Not even one brand-new completely blank page will go through the document feeder. It jams every single time. Now, for me, this is not a big concern which is why I only took off one star. I very rarely have to copy or scan more than a couple of pages at a time. I would have purchased the printer even if it had no document feeder however in my opinion if a device has a certain feature, there should be a reasonable expectation that it's going to work. If having a functioning document feeder is important for you, I would strongly suggest that you look elsewhere. If this is a feature that you would rarely if ever use, I believe it still is a good choice.Update:I am increasing my rating to five stars. My biggest complaint about this printer was the document feeder. I have discovered that while it is extremely finicky, it is possible to get it to work. The most important thing is to get the paper feed width Adjustment said precisely. If there is even the slightest play from side to side, the documents tend to feed at an angle and jam. If it is too tight they will curl and jam. After a lot of tinkering, I finally got it adjusted perfectly and now the document feeder works about 90 to 95% of the time. The other reason for the upgrade is because of the ink usage. I have now owned this printer for 2 1/2 years and have printed almost 3500 pages. Only once did I notice some degradation in the printing and I performed a printhead cleaning cycle and now it's back to perfect. I am just now for the first time refilling the black ink. Don't do a lot of photo printing or extensive color printing so I still have not had to refill any of the colors. After years of spending a small fortune on cartridges for printers, this is undoubtedly the best, and in my mind to be only choice for most users.

It's commonly known that printer cartridges are predatory and awful for a number of reasons.Every single thing to hate about printers goes away with an inkwell printer like this.You can print 200 pages of straight yellow ink for all you care. In a normal printer that cartridge is "dead" despite being full of cyan and magenta. Instead, you only pay for one little yellow bottle.In fact, you probably don't even need more ink yet; it took me two years of "heavy" printing (for a two-person household) to finally need to refill ink levels for the first time.Between your ink and paper costs you're printing at like 1cent per page and that's awesome. You'll be a hero to your friends and family as you're nearly printing for free. Print entire books and don't bat an eye.

Pros - Ink management is great. I used this both for my work-at-home device, for a lot of my schoolwork, and for my own home use (the occasional recipe or knitting pattern, scanning/copying old family photos, etc.) and it's been fantastic. With probably heavier-than-average use, I've only had to refill the ink once over the course of a year, and it's also oddly satisfying to just upend the refill bottles into the tank (and immensely cheaper than replacing the cartridges which also drain much, much faster!)Print quality is also good, and reasonably fast, even when going double sided.Neutrals - There is the occasional problem in making my devices communicate with it, usually in scanner mode. I think this is a factor of the fact that my personal laptop is a Mac and my work laptop is a PC.Occasionally, when printing from my cell phone, it will only print the top-level parts of a document/webpage and not the text itself.(On the upside, it does communicate with a cell phone, a Mac, and a PC!)Cons - My biggest gripe is with the screen. It's really so small (like 2 inches by three inches), which (especially if you're of the progressive lenses wearing generation, can make navigation difficult. Compounding this issue is that it's NOT a touch-screen, instead you have to use a set of buttons directly to the right of the screen, and it's not intuitive at all.Overall, I'm willing to sacrifice the less-than-stellar user interface for the fantastic ink management and the quality (and double-sided) printing!
