Epson WorkForce EcoTank ET-16500 MFP is rated4.49 out of5 by37.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far, so good.I bought this product from Costco, online, and it shipped via UPS. UPS beat the crud out of it and it was with the back panel needing to be pushed back into place, Booo UPS. The only other thing I didn't like is no Airprinter support for the mac products but you can still email the print request. Will see how it goes after that. Scan and fax work great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from less then exceedly happyWe were attracted to the ink refill system, but sacrificed some on the quality of photo printing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All in 1 PrinterI run my company from a home office. Which requires us to be able to communicate on many different levels depending on our customers’ needs which the Epson ET-16500 EcoTank printer has solved. We now have a scanner, fax, copier, and printer all in one that can support the me, my partner, and family needs where in the past we would normally need to go to Fed-Ex to print and/or fax. This has resulted in immediate savings.The set-up was very user-friendly and an absolute breeze which only took a couple minutes versus my other printer took almost an hour+. The color print quality it very vibrant, extremely high quality and completely unheard of that you get 2-years’ worth ink which will come in very handy not only from a business aspect but I am also an avid scrapbooking and print many pictures. I will continued to review this product to provide feedback from both a business and personal experience. This is a review for the Epson ET-16500 EcoTank that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. Fantastic printer, thanks for including me in the test.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Perfect PrinterI purchased this printer 2 months ago to replace our old Color Laser printer and our ancient copier. It is amazing! Not only can this printer make copies but it can Scan as well. I can also decommission our old scanner. This printer is perfect for our needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson EcoTank ET-16500 ReviewThis is a review for the Epson ET-16500 EcoTank that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. I received the printer late last week and set it up right away. This printer doesn’t use the typical inkjet cartridges, instead there is a bottle with ink that is used to fill the Ink Tanks. There are pros and cons to doing this, but I think it’s a better solution than the cartridges. I filled the ink tanks let the printer do the initial startup and ink charge.While the printer was doing the initialization I installed the drivers and software on my Mac. I run a small Technology company so I always use advanced settings. I set it up on my wireless network using a static IP and set it manually. I didn’t use the software to connect the printer to my computer. I have also set up the printer on Google Cloud Print as well as Epson Connect. I have tested both, and both have worked consistently while away from the printer. I do think Epson missed an opportunity with Apple devices. I wish this printer had AirPrint, but it’s not a huge deal to me. I own an older Epson printer as well as this new EcoTank. I have printed pictures on both printers and I feel the old Epson prints better quality pictures than the new EcoTank. I would say the color quality is good, but could be better. However, the EcoTank is a lot faster at printing than my old Epson. The EcoTank has the ability to scan up to 11x17 on the glass as well as through the ADF. Overall I think this EcoTank is a very good printer for the price point.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great printer at first but developed a leakI was estactic at first until it developed a leak, my carpet was almost destroyed besides the leak it's a great printer I just can't get past what almost happened. I was given the printer in exchange for a honest unbiased review unfortunately I think I received a bad unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Setup was a breezeJust unboxed by new ET-16500 EcoTank All-In-One. This is not a small printer! Set was easy and precise. No issues at all, NONE, NADA !!! Don't expect to do the setup in a few minutes. Once you have the ink loaded, it will take 20min to charge the system. That was enough time for us to clean up the desk and get organized again. Setup of the WiFi was simple as well. No USB cords needed. The display screen is large and easy to read and the touch screen works perfectly. So since its only a few minutes old, I cant speak to the output other than the test page, which looked fine. The only negative is I do smell the ink but I suspect that is from the charging procedure and it should dissipate in a little bit. Read the install sheet and take your time and you shouldn't have any problems

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great all in one printerAfter getting to explore all of what the Epson ET-16500 EcoTank has to offer I was very satisfied with what it had to offer. First starting with the simple process of setting it up, it went quickly and smoothly with no misunderstandings. Whatever your profession be or hobby, I believe the Epson ET-16500 EcoTank can fit ones needs in all ways. Very fast printing speeds so you can expect your documents quickly, one of the other few features that's great. The quality of which documents and pictures were printed are awesome as well, very professional. Which to mention the ink that's provided with the unit is enough to last for a very good amount of time, 2 years worth.Now to mention one of the features I really enjoyed because it's a convenient one for a lot of people given how advanced technology is. Wireless/Mobile printing and AirPrint for Apple devices. This is my favorite one as it truly makes things so much easier and also expands what all you can do with this. So overall this is a must use printer for anyone as it so diverse and reaches out to everyone regardless of their profession and use for it. Hope you consider this when looking for an upgrade or a new machine.This is a review for the Epson ET-16500 EcoTank that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Whopper of an Inkjet Sets New Standards for Awesome PrintersThis is an awesome printer. It is a mammoth workhorse to say the least. But, I am so glad I have this for all of my printing, copying, scanning, and faxing needs. One of the best features is the ink tanks. No messy cartridges to buy or refill, just a simple group of tanks on the side with easy open lids. Ink refill bottles are surprisingly economically priced. Print quality is, well, remarkable, really. Prints are crisp and sharp, even when printing draft quality. I can't get over how readily I can print on 11x17 inch papers, including heavy weights like card stock. My printouts look like they've come from a printing press. Freaking awesome!The auto document feeder is such a time saver, too. It makes short work of thick stacks of paper documents, and I can walk off only to return to a finished job. Few printers provide this kind of satisfaction, and in my nearly 30 years working with computers and printers, not one inkjet has ever gotten close to this kind of genius. Epson has given the competition a run for its money.Frankly, this is the very best printer I have owned in 30 years. And, that includes color laser printers. I still marvel that it is an inkjet. Wow!This machine obviously raises the bar, folks. It will be a challenge to top this beast!
