The other tip I'd mention is to shut the printer off when not in use. Especially on the less expensive machines that take two cartridges with printheads on them. When you shut it off it returns them to a caping station that sealed the cartridge. Keeping it on exposes the printheads to air and prematurely dries them out. So orint regularly, something. And shut off off, when not in use. Thanks for the review and your insights. Epson may be the way i go if my sticker printing needs increase. Loading a single sheet at a time on a 42" plotter is getting annoying.
Hello and thank you. As always, love your collaboration over competition attitude. I believe it will come back to you tenfold in the future with positive energy. I will bookmark this for when I’m ready to make the jump and invest in a new printer.
I just watched your video and I have an epson 2670 or something like that and I do believe that the fact I didn't print for a long time ruined it. Thank you for your input. I found your etsy shop and just started following. Wish you continued success!
I have 2 epson ET, 4850 & 15000, I don't use the 15000 much, but with my 4850 since this video, I have filled the tanks twice. I junk journal and make cards. I had an HP before, and in 6 months I could handle the ink subscription. It cost more for me. Now, my laser printer, canon image class lbp632......O my word....fast print and after the starter toner is done, the 067H has lasted longer. I use it just as much as the epson. And I will say the price is equal. My laser printer was on sale for $259 at the time and the 15000 was $699 at the time. 4850 was $389 at the time. My eco tank had to sit for 3 weeks not used while gone and that was a mess. the laser no problem. In all, i love both and use both and can't live without both! I prefer laser for covers and stickers, but images and signature pages i prefer the inkjet. The only thing I don't like is dealing with the maintenance box on the epson. Those are expensive and I have had to replace the one for the 4850 already.
Ali I ordered me one because of your your great video I just want personal use and print photos of all my grandsons and family BUT I’m terrified to open and set it up! I watched videos and still nervous! Will you please please please do a video on setting up yours ? Thank you so much for all your videos and encouragement. I got into journaling because of you and bought my first fountain because of you and mostly important opened my Bible again because of you. You are a blessing to us
Thank you so much for all your love, Tammy. I'm sorry I am just not getting back to this. Hopefully you were able to set it up? They give very easy instructions on the screen when you turn it on. I've already set mine up so it's too late for me to do a video on that. I promise it's not as scary as it seems. 💛
Thanks for sharing Ali! I used your link to buy the slightly smaller version because I don’t think I’ll need the bigger prints. and it’s coming Saturday! Can’t wait! 😍
I have the EcoTank 8500, I think it’s the same printer you are getting but without the wide format printing. I absolutely love it. No issues at all using it with a Mac or PC. I have had mine for almost a year and can barely tell I’ve used any ink. I use it to print printable sticker kits weekly and other purchased art for my planner. I think you will be very happy with it 😊
Thank you so so much for this testimonial! Makes me at peace with my decision. I LOVE this printer and am so excited that I have something that will be so cost effective for my business. Thanks for watching! 💛
Im about to buy a printer and was look at getting the 8500. I do photography, and my kids want to make stickers. I tried using the cheaper printers, but it seems i should invest in this one.
I have the eco 8500 and my printer is jamming the vinyl now but was working fine a few months ago. I’m curious if you print vinyl and had or are having the same issue? It’s smearing the images then getting stuck and I have to pull the sheet out and I cannot figure out what’s going on.
Was planning to do some stickers with vinyl paper? Is Epson an optimal printer for it? I also want the stickers to be durable to sunlight and water and I heard for that pigment inkjet is more ideal
love my Epson Picture mate as well! I have a lower end Epson eco tank. I love it in theory but have had tons of issues with it. I have to clean the heads every time I use it. I'm sure it is user error or something, but it is not plug and go like all other printers I have had. I do love that the ink lasts FOREVER! I tend to use my laser printer more of late.
I'm so sorry to hear that! Do you print on it consistently? I have read that with most printers it really is a good practice to print something at least every 10 days or so to keep all the heads/sponges moist and clean. :)
I did away with the EPSON pigment cartridges... just couldn't take the expense anymore. The EcoTank is a game changer. Love the prints and the speed. I've had it for a few years and haven't had to buy any ink yet. Glossy premium paper prints are amazing... but yeah... gotta keep it clean inside. It does throw the occasional ink blob.
I used to be able to drill a hole in the top of the cartridge and just reset the chip on the spent cartridge but you can't do that anymore with the newer cartridges. It's so frustrating. I'm grateful for the Eco Tank but the little $40 printer is awful in ink price. I am considering replacing it with a laser printer just to be able to print out my packaging slips.
HP Instant Ink is life changing! Saves so much money. They always send the ink cartridges in advance. Sometimes I forget to send ink back and np and that make it easy. I would love to see the color vibrancy of the stickers printed from the Epson. My hp doesn't print the blues out pretty. Can't get turquoise. Gives me dark blue ugh when I try. Thanks for this review!
Hey there! I am loving the sticker sheets I'm getting out of the printer! I will put it on my que to do a video about this. Thanks so much for watching! xoxo
Hello I have HP envy photo printer inkjet one, I am thinking of purchasing a new printers as I print one sheet of stickers and my cartridges fisnished, is there a way to save on my inkjet without getting a new printer? Thank you ❤
Woah, I feel like I am in a very similar situation - I also do mostly traditional art and I was looking at these two exact models tge most, and at the beginning I was also concerned about it maybe being a pigment one, so as to have a better lightfastness, but then the price hits you (especially as a student 😅) And I also have the exact same scanner at home, for about 7 years now 🤣 And I love it too ☺️💕 I'm getting more and more convinced for this particular model 👀 the main thing I'm concerned about is some people report there are metal elements that cause indents in their prints, especially in thicker paper 🤔
Thank you SO much. I was able to buy the Epson 8550 at BestBuy for $600 today. I'm sure it'll be a wonderful investment. I'll keep track of my profits until I know it's paid for itself anyway! lol. The only problem is going to be finding a place to put it. I ALMOST got the 8500 instead just because it has a smaller footprint and I could have easily put it on my printer stand, but for $50, I just couldn't help myself! I really appreciate that you did the research so I didn't have to!
Enjoy!!! It's a great printer. Mine is having a little bit of problems with the roller that feeds in the paper. But I have also printed probably close to 1000 prints on it. 😅 It's definitely a workhorse of a printer.
I am trying to get my pixma pro9000 to work. I had to boot up my computer in win7 to get it to connect and there's something wrong with it. but I have a whole thing of unopened ink that I don't want to waste so I really really want to get it to work.
I'm so sorry. I ran into SOOO many problems with Cannon. I think I'm an Epson girl for life now. I haven't had a single issue with this printer yet. 🙏🏼
I have been looking at the hp Designjet t630 wide format inkjet plotter . So I’ve been debating about getting this for a print and cut . But see no info on its use
I’m so glad you did this video. I have done the same thing and watched so many videos. I want a printer just for photos but I want to be able to print large and the prints be sharp for family us. Just for family and friends no business use intended. But I k ow you get what you pay for so I know it will be expensive. Those are the two I have looked at also. Please let us know how it works once you get it. Please please do a video review of it.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my printer! No qualms so far. Totally worth the investment. Just making sure I'm printing something at least once a week. I will put on my list of vids to film something now that I've had the printer for a little bit. Thanks for watching! :)
HP is definitely horrible about sending new ink cartridges. You literally have to call them and stay on the phone for hours just to get them to send you new cartridges when you need them on the subscription. It's beyond ridiculous.
Hi Ali, any thoughts for a reliable affordable printer for stickers. The 8550 is not in my budget, I am just getting started with my crafting and if things go well, I would eventually like to try to sell some. Thank so much!!
What an informative video! What kind of paper will you be purchasing for your art prints? I am hoping a different paper will up my game for everyday color printing. Thanks, Ali. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I buy my paper from Red River Paper. They are an awesome local company here in Texas. You can purchase a sample package to see what best will suit your needs. :)
Printers, microwaves, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers now have what is called a kill switch. After so many iterations of running the product they just “break” and it is more expensive to fix them than to buy a new one. This keeps the companies in businesses. With the Hewlett-Packard printer, you do not have to subscribe to their ink subscription. However, there is more ink in their subscription based inks. However, we seem to be switching out our black cartridge. Maybe even every 50 pages. Have not kept track but find it to be close to the number of sheets.
I find that so disturbing that manufacturers are creating products knowing that their product will end up in landfill prematurely. Makes me so sad and angry. Thanks so much for watching and sharing!
Hey Ali! Awesome vidoe & thank you so much for this comprehensive analysis of what you believe is the best printer for your needs. I am somewhat sold, just that price dude! But we're starting a Wedding & Other Events Invitation Business & some of our designs require a Cricut Maker 3, & eventually we'll probably branch out to sticker making and other stuff. Would you still recommend the Epson ET-8550 for what we're looking for, or during your extensive hours of research, can you recommend an alternative that may be slightly cheaper. hehe thanks!
If you are not needing the larger print sizes, perhaps there is a model that is cheaper and has a smaller footprint? I can't give an opinion on those as I haven't purchased them but the one I purchased (8550) is AMAZING! It has been so good to me so far and has produced beautiful prints and stickers for my business. I don't think I'll ever get another brand of printer. Epson has won my trust. Hope you can find something that better fits your budget! Thanks for watching!!! 💛
I would think so. You would just need the template from Avery. I would think a less expensive printer could do that job though. This is for large format and people who need to print LOTS of full color prints.
Hey, thank you for this amazing video! I have the printer aswell and I want to print stickers, can you give me advice of what I need to buy to print stickers?
Great information in this video - thanks! I purchased an Epson 8550 (large format) and I am extremely happy with it. I can testify that the ink levels barely move print after print. I just have 2 questions: Cam i use label/sticker paper in the Epson 8550, and where did you get your flipper :) They look great. Thanks for the info!
I am so happy you're enjoying your printer! I absolutely love mine! You can absolutely use sticker paper in it. That's the reason I bought my printer was to start back up my sticker biz. I got my flipper from the dentist. Not sure what lab they use. Getting my permanent crowns here in a couple weeks!!! SO excited!!!
@@AliBrownie thanks for responding! I purchased my printer to print out my art work for various projects. I was nervous to use anything but regular and photo paper at first and couldn’t find info on sticker paper, so thanks again! Hope the dental ish all works out well for you!
The eco tanks are good. But definitely not true that it last 2 years. I’ve had it less than 1 year and I’ve already refilled. I printed 120 pager 8.5x11
That's incredible! I print ALOT for my Etsy shop and just had to refill the inks recently. I wonder if you had a lesser model if the tanks were smaller? For my big printer, the tanks are pretty big. Thanks for watching!
Great informative video! If you dont mind me asking would the 8500 be suitable to document prints as well? I need a high quality photo printer but one that works for everyday printing as well … whats your thoughts on that ?
Hi Ali, thank you for this video. Have you tried printing on transparent matte sticker paper? I tried and the color transfers, it seems like it never dries... what's your experience with it?
Hello, Ali. Thanks for the video. I'm in the same situation as you were looking for a printer especially between these 2 models: Epson 8550 and Epson P700. I'm more into P700 because it uses pigment based ink for long-lasting colors and they are at them same price right now, about $800. Do you have any thoughts about P700? Thank you!
Hey, thanks for the advice, you touched on several of my concerns about the Epson product. I've been researching the ET 4850, I think it prints at the same quality level as your 8 series. So how do you like your new printer?
It depends on what I'm doing. I use label paper for my stickers, a 100% cotton paper for my fine art prints, and plain old copier paper for everyday document printing.
Printer update!!!! ruclips.net/video/Aqe9r0mOgm4/видео.html
I heard the best quote about worry this week. "Worry is like a rocking chair, you're doing something but you're not getting anywhere".
That’s so good!
Love this!!

I bought 2 Canon printers, and didn't like them. Just got the Epson 8500 and WOW im so happy with it! Thanks for this video.
YAY! I'm glad you're enjoying your new printer! I LERRRV mine!
Thank you for this breakdown and explanation. It was extremely helpful and insightful
So glad it helped you. :)

Hi Do you like your Laser printer for stickers? which model are you using. I couldn't get my Laser to print on glossy sticker paper. Thanks

this printer has 5700x1440dpi. what's the difference with a 100$ printer with the same resolution?
I’ve had the same frustrations with my Canon printer even with a PC - I can barely ever get it to connect even with a wired connection
I know your pain. I'm so sorry. Thankfully, I have had zero issues with my new printer! Praise The Lamb! 🙌🏼

Is there an update on the printer? You should pin a comment on an update. You have had it for two years, how has it held up?
There is! ruclips.net/video/Aqe9r0mOgm4/видео.html
Great idea on the pinned comment. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing information! I've been struggling finding right printer for my art work and stickers... Thank you so much again😊
Would this work well with Avery labels?
I would think so. You would just need the template from Avery. I would think a less expensive printer could do that job though. This is for large format and people who need to print LOTS of full color prints.
I prefer your art art anyway.
Thank you so much! I wish I had the digital skills because it would be wayyyy easier, but I guess I gotta do what I know and decent at. :)
I bought the same printer ! But for some reason, my prints don't seem high quality :( not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Have you calibrated it? What film do you use to print? The Epson has setting where you can change the quality...
Hey, thank you for this amazing video! I have the printer aswell and I want to print stickers, can you give me advice of what I need to buy to print stickers?
The baseline would be a cutting machine and your favorite label paper. :)
Can you put in response the name of your scanner and other office printer use, also your link to amazon purchase for epson 8550 😮 is broken

I don't know if they will support a roll of sticker paper. I haven't looked into that. Sorry!
Hi Ali, thank you for this video. Have you tried printing on transparent matte sticker paper? I tried and the color transfers, it seems like it never dries... what's your experience with it?
Was excited to watch till I heard the prices 😭😭
Hello, Ali. Thanks for the video. I'm in the same situation as you were looking for a printer especially between these 2 models: Epson 8550 and Epson P700. I'm more into P700 because it uses pigment based ink for long-lasting colors and they are at them same price right now, about $800. Do you have any thoughts about P700? Thank you!

I have not researched that printer so I'm unable to speak on it. I'm sorry. I can say that I LOVE my 8550. :)
Bro just get to the point already
Bro. Just click out of the video. 🤣 Thanks for the engagement in comments to boost my video. 😘
Bro,she was on point,maybe u should listen or exit 🙂
Exactly what I did😂💀😒😒
Hey, thanks for the advice, you touched on several of my concerns about the Epson product.
I've been researching the ET 4850, I think it prints at the same quality level as your 8 series.
So how do you like your new printer?
LOVE it!!! I have ZERO complaints!
no, it does not xD I had the 4850 before... now the 8550, wow, its a other league
Can you print waterproof stickers with this ?
This is an inject and uses dye ink, not pigment. I don't think waterproof sticker are possible with this type of ink.
Not sharing what printer you are using is so cringe. 😂😂 wtf
Thank you for not being cringe.
so is the epson ecotank dye or pigment? that bit confused me a little sorry
ok their dye... but now the archival time limit is bugging me... are pigment printers entry level? or are they all pro?
What kind of paper do you use?
It depends on what I'm doing. I use label paper for my stickers, a 100% cotton paper for my fine art prints, and plain old copier paper for everyday document printing.
Lol! Analysis Paralysis....you may be a Libra!!!
100% Libra hahaha
@AliBrownie You Are!!???? HOW FUNNY...me toooooo!! Hahaha!
Is the Epson 4200 q good one ? For sticker making
I am not familiar with that model. Sorry!
