Excellent Product in the ET 8500 and excellent shipping. We previously purchased the ET 2760 and we were well satisfied with that unit enough to order the ET8500.

This printer so far has exceeded my expectations. Beautiful prints & ink lasts a long time. Also, I really did need a scanner but the scanner is amazing on automatic mode. I am a professional photographer & this is certainly the right printer for my occasional print needs.

Very satisfied with my new 8500 printer. My 7700 got zapped with a power surge ( even on a surge protector), and is DOA.

I’ve owned an Epson XP-830 for years, and it’s been a dependable color printer. But the Epson ET-8500 is superior to my old printer in many ways. The supertank ink system in the ET-8500 is far more efficient and cost-effective than the cartridge system in my old printer, and it will save me loads of money and time in the long run. I’m totally satisfied with the ET-8500 — above and beyond what I expected. Thanks also to B&H for the fast shipping and handling.

I have always owed Epson printers because they last and this one has replaced an beloved one I had that finally gave out, So far it hasn’t disappointed me of course its still sort of new. I don’t see any as of yet that will cause me to change my view. I have a small business and so far so good

The printer has, so far, been a reliable one. As a music educator, I’ve used it for a few large and color projects. I’m enamored with the eco tank ink solution. I’m very grateful for the purchase. I’ve yet to find a flaw, though maybe a top -loading feed would have made this a perfect purchase for me.

I’m an artist/illustrator and photographer and I wanted to bring printing in-house rather than farming out to a vendor. I wanted a printer that had high-capacity ink tanks and could make high-quality prints on heavyweight papers (250-300gsm). The Epson Et-85xx printers tick both boxes! I purchased the ET-8500 model as I have no need for printing larger than 8.5×11 or A4 borderless. Set up on MacOS 11 was fast and easy. My first test print on XPress-It blending card (uncoated 250gsm art paper) stunned me: a quick print on the plain paper setting yield a vibrant print that was much closer to my original alcohol ink rendering than what I had been receiving from a vendor! I’ve tested on a variety of coated papers ranging in weight from 140 to 250 gsm and even printed on watercolor paper with amazing results. I have not yet printed photographs but I am confident that the quality will be fantastic.
