Thank you! Especially for showing the maintenance box, I wasn't able to find information about it anywhere else!
No problem!
@@BestPrinters 2850 unboxing
Thank you for this video. Setup was easy and seamless. Also, I never would have known about the maintenance box.
You bet!
I’m curious about this maintenance box on the back side panel. What can the user do with it to keep the printer going more than 6 months?
One test page print example? One important thing I would like to see about a printer review is how it prints in color and blk/wht. Lots of tech specs and details, but would like to see the highest res print possible.
Thanks. I bought this printer and it arrived today.
IF I knew it would last only 6 months I wouldn't have bought it.
I should have watched this video before ordering.
Yeah sorry
This won’t last more than 6 months?!!!????
I don't understand. In your video you say it has a maintenance box, so it should last more.@@BestPrinters
You mentioned something about the maintenance box, I have the ET-2750 which is broken so I’m looking into this version. Can you make a video explaining more about this box?
Hello, I have a question. For the maintenance box, can it be replaced and if so what specific maintenance box would we need to buy for this printer? Thank you for making this video.
I would do a general search for a maintenance box on google.
Nice video! Would have loved to see sample prints!
The Epson ET-2850 says "Max Paper Size 8.5" x 47.2", Does that mean it can print on rolled banner paper? I can't find any information on that anywhere. Can you do a video on it?
Needed more about adjusting print quality!!
Check out my print quality video in the description.
Okay dude you were right, my 2820 was okay with card (but for how long?) but was not borderless so i bought a 2850 and returned my 2820. The 2850 is not as good as the 2820 imo, only thing its got is borderless and duplex. It cant do card at all, just chokes on it. Im sending that back.
Now i have ordered the 8500 which CAN do card.
Can you tell me if i need a CD reset thing to do maintenance box reset or do i just need to change the box?
Thanks for showing the box my question where would you find a new one / ink pad at ?? I looked around also come across someone on tiktok that was looking with no luck said epson told them no maintenance box on the 2850 that their out of luck please help
Thank you so much you have make it easier for me
You are so welcome!
How do you print two hard copy pages into one page. Is there an automatic feeder or do you need to scan both pages on the flat bed first then print it so it’s double sided?
Thank you, great video.
You are welcome!
I just bought this for my startup NPO and hope it holds up at least for the first year.
Thanks for your videos! I just bought this printer but haven't unboxed it yet. I have mixed feelings about the rear paper feed...I would prefer it to be in the front cassette. Why do they design them this way? I understand you can print envelopes, etc easier maybe from the back? Some printers give you the option to choose. I know I can get a front load for more money but not sure it is worth it.
I personally like having the front paper tray, since this is the base model they only offer basic spec unfortunately.
thanks. This is useful. One exception. The printer is 2.4g. in order to instal the printer, I needed to bring the 2.4 connection up.
What is the purpose of the Maintenance Box? Cost? Do all the Epson EcoTanks have a Maintenance Box?
Hey thank you so much for this video!
I’m just starting my digital art journey and I’m struggling to understand which printer is better for me. This one or the Canon G550??
I want the printer for digital illustrations
Thank you so much
Hi, Its my pleasure. I honestly think this Eco Tank would be good for you.
Can this be used without any apps or a computer? My dad just wants to print copies of things.
Thanks for the review! Is the scanning ability only on the flat bed or also through a feeder?
Only through the scanner on this model. Thanks for the comment!
Can this model scan color slides (assuming that a slide holder is available from Epson) and if so how good is the 2400 dpi resolution when saved to a DVD?
Really appreciate all your videos on the Eco Tank, Thank you!
I've only just seen it and am now looking into converting over to it from cartridge, so thank you again!
Greetings from the UK
Awesome, thanks for the support!
I love your videos Brandon when it comes to new printer technology!! Your video reviews are very thorough which I love so consider me your #1 fan!!! It is because of your reviews that I own an Epson EcoTank printer and I will never go back to a regular inkjet printer so please keep your reviews coming!! They are very much appreciated!!! Thank you my friend! 👏👍😁
Awesome! Thank you Rafael!
I bought this printer but have not set it up. Now i don't know if i sound keep it based on your comment about the "maintenance box". Will i need to buy a new printer in 6 months?
If I only print in Black in Epson EcoTank 3850, can I only fill in the Black ink tank, and leave the color tanks EMPTY to save money?
No unfortunantely.
I'm considering putting this model on a shelf. When it's ready to use and has paper sticking out the top, how tall is it from the base (feet) up to the top of the papers?
Here are the dimensions for the 2850 14.8" x 10.2" x 22.3"
Thanks for the review!! Please can you tell me if you can scan through the feeder at the back? Or do you really have to scan one page, close the lid, and next page continuously?? Hope that’s not the case.
Yes you can only scan with the glass scanner one at a time. If you want to scan multiple documents you will want to buy the Et 3850.
@@BestPrinters wow - that was a quick response, and you offered an alternative. Very impressed! Thank you very much 🫡
Great video. I'm considering purchasing this to replace my hp that eats cartridges and seems to clog up. However I wish to print greeting cards and you said no mention of being able to print or accept card stock . Any new thoughts?
For cardstock you will want to use the Epson Et 3850 model or higher.
My 2820 does 300gsm card like it was paper.
Only negative is it doesnt have borderless printing so if you want that, then get what this guy has. it prints card just fine (up to 300gsm)
Would you say this model would be best compared to the 2820? I’m just wanting decent photos & basic printing. Thanx for the review ✌🏽
So if you want a better printer than this one you could go with the 3850 or the 4850. Those are the next models up.
@@BestPrinters I was hoping for you’re opinion on the 2850 for photo quality as I haven’t seen the quality to know. Thank you for a quick response. The upgraded model is out of my price range
This is a great video. I am having trouble getting mine to mirror my image. I changed it in the print setup on my computer but it does not help. Can you help me with this . Than you.
Do you mean scanning?
Thank you for the information this printer. I do have a question? Can it print picture quality or close to picture quality on regular paper ?
Yes, absolutely
Thanks!
You bet!
Thanks for the review. First time checking out ink tank printers. Can I still print in black if one ink tank is low or out of colour? That is will the printer stop the printing? Is there a way around it if it does stop printing?
Unfortunantely all the colors need to be filled in order to print anything.
Hi Brandon, I purchased the Epson ET-2850 printer over two week ago and I am finding it difficult in one aspect. The cover was lifted to view the interior of the Printer. The LID is kept open by a sprocket lever system. I have not been able to release the sprocket lever so as to disengage the sprocket lever, therefore I am unable to close the lid, resulting in I not yet having used the printer. I am an IT graduate and I work with technology all the time. I have had four colleagues attempt to reseat the lid of printer, all of whom failed. Yes, if I use force, I am certain that I can get lid closed, but the "damage" would invalidate the warranty. I am waiting for an Epson Technician to call for over several days now, and he is wishing I can solve this problem myself. In the past, one would only need to raise the lid a little higher and the sprocket lever would disengage. Not this one!! Did anyone else have a similar problem and how is it solved. Is there some button to disengage the lever??? John Walsh.
Why not just take it back to where you purchased it for a return.
@@BestPrinters 2 weeks return policy
I am having this same issue. I just purchased the printer yesterday and the lever is locked. was there a resolution found?
Thank you for this very useful video. I bought this printer last week all is well. On the control panel I can see there is a firmware update and it’s asking me to install it. Please let me know if you have any video on firmware updates and is it necessary to update .
Thanks Brandon
Please subscribe I might cover firmware updates in a video next year.
@@BestPrinters I have already prescribed some time ago I thought you might be able to advise me sooner thanks Brandon
What are the steps to update the printer? Do I have to go to the internet or via the menu pad on the printer?
I would do it through he Epson app on your computer.
Just wondering if there is a dock that will fit my new 24" IMac desktop computer? Thanks for your help in this video. I was having a terrible time getting my computer to talk with the printer and have beren having to reenter my password from my router every time I wanted to print.
There should be some on Amazon
Hello. Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my two questions!
-How do you know when to change the ET2850 waste tank?
-Regarding the ink..... Original or compatible?
Hugs!!!
Hugs received, when it's time to change the waste tank, you will get a message on your display to change it. It'll be like an error code. Regards to the ink you can use any ink you want. There's a link in the description below for remanufactured ink you will save a lot of money going that way.
@@BestPrinters Hello. Regarding changing the tank, I have seen a lot of things... including having to go to Epson to reset the printer. Is it true or can you buy an original and just exchange it? Do you really have to go to the brand???? Have you changed any by any chance? Hugs !!!
Q: Can we print on window cling and transparent sticker paper with this machine?
I think you would need sublimation ink though
What maintenance box does this model use? I also noticed they don't mention it on the spec sheet, and I can't find that info anywhere online :( Do you have any idea the model type needed?
Actually this model does not have a way to replace the maintenance box.
If there is no way to replace the maintenance box, does the printer give out after 6 months?
hi, what r the main differences/advantages between et2850 vs et3850 ? thanks
You can compare the spec sheets on Google. Just search up each printers spec sheet and compare.
Great video I was wondering how to get my PC to print? The showed that I could hook it up direct. Thank you
Glad I could help
Hi Brandon can you tell me about the Maintenance box what is for? I want to buy this printer I'm little concern about the ink getting dry out as my old printer. I was looking for a Laser colour printer since I'm not using the printer to often, they very expensive though. You think this ink won't dry out? I see this printer on sale that the reason I want to check in RUclips and I found your video. Thank you for your reply I believe you know by now about my question since you have the printer for 10 months thanks best regards from Canada.
Hi so the 2000 models don’t have a maintenance box that’s one of the biggest flaws with them. I would advise you go with a Epson Et 3850 at least.
@@BestPrinters This video has you literally showing the maintenance box in a 2xxx series printer.
After watching this video, i just tried printing on 300gsm Card using my ET-2820
Eats 300gsm for breakfast, as you know they are rated for 300gsm and are just fine with that media.
Can you confirm if you can do borderless on A4 paper please?
Yes you can
@@BestPrinters Thank you. I need borderless, thinking of giving my 2820 away and buying a 2851
What is an adf? Is that what’s needed for a printer to be able to print double sided?
An automatic document feeder for scanning multiple documents at once.
My ET 3710 is about 3 years old. Would this be the replacement for the 3710 ?
No the 3850 would be
You mentioned the maintenance box, but what does it do? What is it used for?
It collects discarded ink.
What was the CD for? Do I need it if I am going to use it on my phone wireless
No its mainly if you want to download the driver on a pc.
Just bought this printer, and using it only for basic print jobs, mostly documents with some images. Right off the bat, the colors are muted, especially RED. Instead of vibrant colors, everything except for black seems like pastel. Any suggestions??
You may want to do a deep printhead cleaning.
Do you recommend this one over the 2760?
They are roughly the same, I did a comparison video between the 2750 and 2850. That might provide more answers for you, ruclips.net/video/8u4tUlIBI4w/видео.html
My wife put blue ink in the black ink container, how would we empty that out??
It says mobile printing, does an apple
iPhone work in compatibility with this particular Epson printer machine?
YES!
Hi can you do a sublimation work with this one
Hello I just bought this printer. I have an old smart phone and says this app won't work on your device. Is there another way to set this up as I only need to print off my computer. Thanks as I'm not too savvy on all this new technology as I'm 80 years old. Thanks for any info you can give me.
Hi Lenny, what you wanna do is connect the printer to your PC with a USB cable.
hi thanks Question where do I set print settings like best quality etc.
On you computer or mobile device.
Whats the difference between the 2803 and 2850? I don’t understand the why the complicated numbers 😅
2803 is just a variation i would stick with the 2850 though.
Can you connect to the printer WiFi from your phone? We have an older model and it is such a pain to connect to the WIFI if it goes out.
Yes, you can connect with your phone.
Can used with a Mac?
hi, does this printer have an ethernet connection if you prefer not to use wifi?...
No unfortunantely you will need to upgrade to a 3850 to get an ethernet port.
Does anyone know how to select thick paper on here, i’m trying to print my own invitations? The paper i’m using worker one time but is not working anymore
It should be in the settings.
I cannot scan. I have a USB cable connected, I set up my Wi-Fi that works because I can print from my phone. What is the problem? Do I need to upload an app for the scanner? Please help thank you🙃🙃
Try downloading the driver onto your computer for Epson.
How many pages of paper can you store/load on the printer before having to reload it? Thank you.
Roughly 100
Do personal hotspots work ok with printer?
Yes
Can you enlarge and reduce copies on this printer?
Probably through the Epson app on your computer.
So can I hook up this printer to my cell phone, MacBook Pro and also to my work computer from home all three
Absolutely
"I bought an Epson ET-2850 yesterday. I tried to print glossy photo paper on the printer, but it came out with sharp lines and roller markings from top to bottom. I returned the printer to the shop and tried a new printer with different glossy paper, but the same result occurred. Do you know what the problem might be, and how can I resolve it? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance."
Exchange it for a new one asap!
What is the recommend paper brand best use for epson 2850
Any paper works just fine, honestly.
Laser printer paper??
It doesn'nt pick up the model and says wifi is out of order on the printer screen, need help, please
Thanks
Try resetting everything.
How do you fill the inks
Can I print pictures from my iPhone 13 Pro Max to my printer which is a 2850
Yes, absolutely
I just got the printer and once i get to the wifi settings and input my password it says that it cant connect to the wifi but on the app it says my printer is already connected but wont let me use the app to print either
You may need to do a software update
what is the difference between Epson ET 2800 and 2850?
There arent many differences.
I wonder how does ET 2850 compare to ET-2800 does it worth to pay additional $50 ?
Good question, I would say yes it is for the most part.
How does the 2850 compare to ET-2760?
This video will help answer your question, ruclips.net/video/BHTUDXTU2JQ/видео.html
What do you do with the maintenance box
Buy a new one and replace it.
Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to print in bristol thank you
I dont think so
Is there any difference between the 2850 and 2840? Thanks
No
@@BestPrinters thanks
Can you scan from the document feeder?
No.
can you print without wifi? or by using bluetooth?
Wi-Fi
Is it good for sublimation tumblers
As long as you convert it from the beginning and don't use regular ink
What’s better this or 3850?
3850 100%
This printer does not come with usb cable to connect directly to the computer??
No must be bought separately
does it have self cleaning head setting
Yes
does it have auto duplex printing
Yes it does!
So how does it print? Odd info to leave out for a 'review'.....
Check out the print quality test in the description.
The printer does not come with the cable to connect to the PC?
No you have to buy it separate.
How to see the ink in the printer. It is so dark cant tell how much ink is in the printer
You will just have to top it off, there is no way to clear up the ink compartment.
I just got my Epson ET 2850 today, and I have to say that I'm overwhelmed about the setup. All the button pushing has me completely confused. I'm going to hook it up with the disk and a USB cable and hope for the best. The Wifi thing is beyond me.
Its ok, you can do it just take your time.
@@BestPrinters Just spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone with 2 heavily-accented women wearing masks. I installed the disk, PROPERLY (I've installed many printers over the years) everything was fine, but the printer itself had a problem they couldn't fix, after countless Delete-this, install-that, restart, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat. I'm returning it to Amazon.
@@lizardas same found the wi-fi hard to set up and im usually good with this stuff. I got one computer to do the wifi eventually but not the one I wanted . Just ended up using usb. but few weeks in and find lines in my prints already . then had a paper jam and stopped working at all acts like its printing but no ink comes out .
Where is the feed button on this pruner
There is no such button
How do I set up my scan to my email
I have this, but the max resolution is 1200dpi for me
Really?
I heard this is listening to you with a microphone? Disconnect?
Costco has it on sale for $199
I can't ever get this printer to print. There's not even a print option in the message box. So frustrated. Thanks
If it's a new printer, I will try returning it getting a new one, if it's already been used for quite some time you can't return it try selling it and upgrade to a better model.
Can this printer use greeting card paper?
Yes, absolutely
BUT...this printer apparently does NOT feature an easily replaced ink absorber pad. The lack of this is part of the planned obsolesce of tank printers...when will a manufacturer offer this feature. Otherwise, your printer eventually - where before its time -your printer becomes a very bad boat anchor.
Yep
How long do you think it will last? I'm dying from the price of cartridges on my HP inkjet. I print a couple of hundred pages and then shell out another $90. It's prohibitively expensive. I'd be better off buying a new printer every year. Far better off.
Is this an inkjet printer?
Yes
Why don't you show that there is no closed paper feed tray but an open tray where the paper is standing in a kind of 45 degree angle or rather "hanging around" after some time and getting dusty?
It will only get dusty if you don't use it
@the printer guy explain your comment about the maintenance box and the unit only lasting 6 months without one. Seems like you buried the lead. I have less than a week to return mine if this is going to be an issue. Explain yourself.
Did I say that? What's the timestamp? Please reply with the new comment for me to see it.
