The Epson EcoTank ET-2850U is an all-in-one printer designed for small or home offices. it doesn’t have an SD card slot like its predecessor, though it offers USB and Wi-Fi connectivity and supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service. As a supertank printer, it has large ink reservoirs that you can refill with Epson T502 ink bottles, increasing page yield and lowering cost per print versus a printer using traditional replaceable cartridges. This printer’s body is made of cheap-feeling plastic, but it still feels somewhat sturdy. There’s a lid dampener that holds the flatbed scanner open and closes the lid slowly without you needing to guide it down. The ink tanks are easy to reach, but you need to lift the flatbed to open the ink tank cover. It’s different from the Epson EcoTank ET-2800, which lets you remove the ink tank cover without moving any other parts out of the way. Like all inkjet printers, the Epson EcoTank ET-2850U’s printheads can clog if you don’t print for a while. There are a few built-in maintenance routines, like printhead cleaning, printhead alignment, printhead nozzle check, power cleaning, and paper guide cleaning. It’s easy to reach the ink tanks, but you need to lift the scanner first to open the ink tank cover. They’re simple to refill since the nozzle of each bottle is designed to fit only with its corresponding tank, so you won’t need to worry about accidentally refilling the wrong tank. The process can be messy, but at least you don’t need to do it often, thanks to its incredibly high page yields. Note that once you refill the tanks, you need to reset the ink level counter each time since the printer can’t measure exactly how much ink you have left. The sheet rollers are accessible by removing a panel at the back or by lifting the flatbed scanner. The paper tray can only hold 100 pages, so you have to add paper if you print many long documents.
