Epson WorkForce Pro ET-8700 EcoTank - multifunction printer - color is rated4.85 out of5 by55.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful, easy set up. Good valueThe size of this printer and the features had me a little apprehensive about set up. I took it out of the box, removed the wrapping, and followed the instructions. I was set up and running in a matter of minutes.I really like the design of the ink pouches. No ink to spill or refill. The pouches are large and I expect the would last a long time. The printer even came with extra pouches.The print quality is amazing. The scanner is just as amazing. The printer operates fast! I love the touchscreen. The printer is so easy to use. The controls are intuitive and easy to navigate. Overall I would say the printer is a great value.This is a review for the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome PrinterMy family and I have been using this printer for about a week now and we LOVE IT! I downloaded the Epson iPrint app for android and printed everything from homework for my daughter to pictures that I put into frames and we could not be happier.The quality of the photo prints was amazing; as we used a premium photo paper and adjusted the quality of the printer inside of the mobile app. For the homework and math reviews that I printed using regular printer paper, there was no smudging or smearing.Additionally, the setup was extremely simple. The printer is touchscreen and when establishing your WiFi connection it even has a keyboard on the screen, thus making it that much easier to enter in your password. After setting up dozens of printers in my office over the years, I have grown accustomed to pressing the number keys multiple times to enter in each letter and the of course backspacing because I hit the number button too many times, or conversely not enough. It's crazy that this is the first printer that I have used to actually utilize a keyboard on the touchscreen itself to expedite the process.The ink packages are a wonderful addition too. They might be in a little bit larger packaging, but they offer a bag type system instead of the tiny little cartridges or the horrible toner cartridges that leak powder all over the place during installation and removal, thus allowing for more ink and less overall waste. This also allows you to print a lot more in between cartridge changes.We print a lot at my house and have gone through 2 reams of paper in a week, as my 7 year old prints whatever strikes her fancy; especially pictures to color and proudly display in her room and my fridge, and my bedroom, and my mother-in-law's room, and near the dog bowls, and the doors in my home...well you get the picture.Lastly, the scan quality is extremely good as well. After scanning in a few pictures and a lot of documents, I'm very pleased with its overall functionality, intuitiveness, and cost effective nature.I would be remiss if I did not tell you about it's faults though. It is OVER-PACKAGED. I pulled off and balled up about a 3" diameter of tape strips, as ever component is taped up to secure during transit. And...I think that is about it.Overall, you will be extremely happy with this printer; whether you are a small business owner or a busy family like me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from IncredibleFor the past 5 years we have been using a Brother Multifunction color laser printer which I thought was an very nice machine. The Epson ET-8700 is in a league with the highest quality laser printer with black and white copies at 24ppm and color at the same 24 ppm with color printing of photos etc being much higher quality than a laser printer. Very impressive color reproduction. The Epson ET-8700 is a bargain when it comes to ink, you get 2 years supply of black and one year of each of th.e 3 colors so you won't be spending a fortune on ink, The Epson ET-8700 was easy to connect to our wifi network, less than 10 minutes to up and running.The machine takes up a corner of my desk, lt's large with a small footprint. It does weigh about 40 pounds, so you will need help to move it. The ET-8700 has a color touch screen that tilts which is convenient. There are a host of settings so you can have total control of the printer. There are 2 paper trays, one in the front which holds 250 sheets and a rear tray that holds 80 sheets so less time loading paper.I scan a lot of documents and the quality and speed is amazing. The Epson ET-8700 is truly a workhorse for the small to medium office and I highly recommend this to anyone who wants the best.This is a review for the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-one Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Printer I've Owned. Seriously.This is a review for the Epson ET-8700 that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. Overview: This printer is the best all around printer that I've owned. It is big, but it has fast print speed, quality scanning, super easy ink (since you don't have to replace it), and was much easier to set up than others that I have tried. This is a big plus because I often find hooking up a printer to wifi and keeping it in the system is a pain, Also, the printer can print from my cell phone. Nice!Pros- Easy Set Up (even the set up of the big ink wells for eco tank was easy and now I don't have to change Cyan all the time!)- Easy print from phone (I've had this in the past and it was inconsistent. This seems much better. Maybe its newer and they've figured that stuff out)- Fast Printing- No replacing ink!!!- Easy and quality scanning- Holds lots of paper- Strong photo qualityCons- Its pretty big (but it does hold a lot of paper. This a good all around printer for a small biz etc).- Its still louder than laser.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Home Office WorkhorseI am a big fan of Epson printers and I was looking to replace/upgrade my existing Epson WF-2760 for my home office, and the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer is the ideal home office machine. As far as the machine itself, I am not going to lie, it is BIG. For me, I don’t have a true dedicated home office and it was too big to put on my desk so it sits on the floor next to my desk. It’s not a big deal and the fact that the touch screen flips up makes it easy to operate the controls without having to get on your hands and knees. Also, the features that come with the bigger size more than compensate for it.Set up was extremely easy. I would say that it took about 40 minutes with 30 of it spend unboxing, removing all the packaging and disposing of the trash. The actual installation itself probably took about 7-10 minutes max. The directions were extremely easy to follow and I was able to set it up wirelessly without having to use the included cd.The main selling point for me is the 2 year supply of ink that it comes with. With my old Epson I was constantly having to change the inks which was extremely expensive and I always needed to have extra ink on hand just in case. With the two year supply of ink, the printer virtually pays for itself in ink savings alone. I also love the high capacity paper tray and the ability to print 2 sided documents. The printer is extremely quiet and very fast. The output is very high quality.Overall, I highly recommend the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer as a home office workhorse. As a high volume document printer, this fits all my needs! This is a review for the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great all-around, versatile printer that will meet all of yoAs I received the printer, the size of the box made me feel like that setting up the printer would be a daunting task. In fact, the installation and the configuration of the printer was just the opposite. After it took some time to remove the printer from box and remove all of the tape and packaging, the installation of the ink packs, the initialization and WiFi configuration of the printer, the firmware update and the installation of the Epson iPrint app on my iPhone was quick and painless. All-in-all, from opening the printer box to printing the first test page, that whole process took about 45 minutes.I was amazed at the speed in which the printer printed, not only in black and white but surprisingly in color as well. By the time that I walked across the room, the documented had already printed and in color no less. The quality of the prints were excellent. A lot of this depends on the paper that it is being printed on. Needless to say, the speed and the quality of the printing was spectacular!I love the fact that this printer does not use ink cartridges. The "EcoTank" system used in the ET-8700 uses ink pouches. Epson includes 2 XL black ink pouches and 3 ink pouches for each of the other colors. Out of the box, there is enough ink to last 2 years Epson claims. Of course the mileage of the ink pouches will vary depending on your printing needs. It's good knowing that I'm not wasting my money by having to always be buying ink cartridges. It's also good knowing I'm using less resources. This is the reason why I will continue buying the EcoTank system of products from Epson in the future. All other companies should follow Epson's lead. Scanning is wonderful and very convenient. Not only do you have the ability to configure and scan documents using the flat bed scanner but you also have the ability to scan using the rear document feeder. You also have the multitude of options on where to send scans from the printer itself and from the Epson iPrint app on your mobile device. The quality of the scans were fantastic!The printer also copies documents very well. Just place the document on the flatbed scanner or through the document feeder and the printer will print the copies one-sided or double-sided quickly and with great print quality.The mobile app allows me to manage printing capabilities from my phone. I can send photos or documents to be printer from my phone. I can preview scans and save scans using my phone. The app is pretty versatile for the functions that I need it to do. The look of the interface isn't all the best but for me that's easily overlooked.Cliche as it may sound, but all-in-all, this all-in-one printer is a workhorse of a printer that is a wonderful all-around printer to have in a busy household or small office that will meet the needs of everyone and satisfy any printing, copying, faxing, scanning that they may need. The quality of the scans and items printed in amazing! The speed at which documents are printed is incredible! Anyone looking for a printer that meets all of these needs should look no further. The Epson WorkForce Pro ET-8700 EcoTank All-In-One printer is a must have!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great printer. Fast and functional.“This is a review for the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”I am really impressed with this printer. It was very easy to set up using the wizard once you get all the tape off. Seriously, there is a lot of tape. The wizard walks you through everything from page setup to fax header. The ink takes some getting use to since it is in pouches instead of cartridges. My first reaction after a print was literally, "Wow. That was fast." I mean it was done before I could even turn around to get the page. Seriously, I have never had a printer that prints this fast.I have alreay used it for b&w prints, color prints and multiple faxes. And for the first time I have scanned to email, which never worked on my past AIO. I like that it has its own email address to so I could send something to the machine from anywhere in the world. The only problem I have had is the first few pages came out crooked, but that has seemed to resolve itself. The web interface and software are not as clean I I would expect them to be, but you can still navigate pretty easily and the funtionality is there.Overall this is a very funtional and comprehensive printer/fax/scanner/copier. I would definitely recommend it for a small office or home use. I'm sure I will use it for years to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid All-in-OneI received and set up my Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One printer about a week ago and have have been using it in my home office ever since. It replaced an Epson ET-3600 that I had been using for the past couple years. I had always used HP printers in my home office prior to these printers but had been having a lot of issues with them not lasting, having expensive ink and not really working when printing from my iPad and iPhone. The Epson printers have had none of these issues. I really am liking the ET-8700 compared to the 3600. The printer was extremely easy to set up – basically just take it out of the box, remove some tape, insert the ink and it is good to go. I really liked the change in ink from the squirt bottles on the 3600 to the bags on the ET-8700. It was much cleaner and easier to use. It was also great that it came with spare ink so I am not needing to go out and purchase replacements. This way I will order replacements when I use the included ones and always have a backup. Once it was physically set up, I ran the included setup disk first on my windows PC and then downloaded and ran the Mac installer on my Macbook – it connected to my network right away and I was using it on both devices in minutes. I love the automatic document feeder – this is a feature that I was sorely missing on my old printer. I also like how much paper it holds. This printer also has fax capability, which I only use a few times a year personally but it is something that my IT Consulting clients sometimes need and because of this I will be able to recommend this printer to them as well. This has been a solid printer and it has been working extremely well since I set it up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing printer for a bussiness that prints a lot!!I personally own 3 Franchises and we do a lot of printing and I mean a lot!! Problem is most of the standard printers I would get would be slow, and I would burn through ink which gets expensive. So I got this Epson ET-8700 to try. This printer is an absolute beast of a printer. The size is great considering what It has to offer and for being a business class printer. Setup was an absolute snap and I was out of the box, setup, Wi-Fi configured and paper and ink loaded all under 15 minutes. The printer can hold over 250 sheets of paper and now lets talk about the best part the ink!! These printers can save you a ton of money on ink costs against standard printers. Inside the box its comes with 2 years of ink…let me say that again 2 years of ink which is amazing. According to the box that can equate to almost 16,000 pages to print. This was a huge selling point for me as we print multiple times a day. The Epson ET-8700 is fast as well and I was blown away at how quick it prints out the pages. The prints are clear, and the color is vivid. I setup the printer to work locally, and configured by wi-fi which is great for us when printing from other computers in the office, cell phones, iPad, or tablets. Also as a crystal clear 4.3 inch touch screen which helps make it easy to select what you want to do. This Epson ET-8700 is also great at scans and documents feed through the feeder. I have tried a lot of printers over my time but this Epson ET-8700 wins hands down its by far the best printer I have owned. Its well worth the investment especially for a business that does lots of printing and wants to save on ink costs!! Your investment will go far with this printer. I am a firm believer in you get what you paid for , and this printer is no exception.“This is a review for the Epson ET-8700 EcoTank All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”
