[Color] I wanted a tank printer ever since they came out, and finally pulled the trigger on this one because non-photo printers are inconsistent and expensive for photos. This printer just works perfectly. It is simple to use, and the prints are beautiful. I ordered Epson photo papers from B&H to make sure anything that went wrong with a photo was not the fault of the paper or printer, and I couldn't be happier. Don't take my word for how awesome this printer is... look at the reviews by Keith Cooper on Youtube. That's what helped me make up my mind and I love this printer! 5

[Envelopes, CDs] I have had my Epson ET-8550 for over 1 1/2 years. It has performed excellently, both in Black & White and in color (including photos). It was easy to set up and I'm still on my original ink! 5

[Inkjet] I’ve been printing on a friend’s 8550 and finally got one of my own. Love this printer. It deserves 5 stars but the setup was somewhat of a headache. I left one bit of the packing wedges in the printer and when I tried to do the setup from the LCD screen it failed (as it should). I removed the wedge but the printer would not setup. It routinely failed following Step 2.2. (After selecting the language and before filling the ink tanks) Extremely frustrated after multiple tries of checking for more packing debris, tray out of alignment etc , I took a break. Then ... before calling support I decided to use the Epson Smart Panel App -- thinking maybe it would give me a visual of the problem. Turned out there was no problem. I guess there was something interrupting the manual sequence. Anyway it was super easy to follow the App. The downside is it should work from the LCD screen. 5

[Color] Setup straight forward. Ink transfer was easy with no problems and no mess. The paper trays are tricky to use. Be careful your chair isn’t in the way when the output tray opens up. The Epson software is a bit disappointing. Not very user friendly. Overall a pretty good eco friendly solution to cartridges. The printer makes beautiful pictures on all sorts of paper finishes. I recommend this printer. 5

[Epson T552] As far as I am concerned this is a great printer. Print quality in my opinion is terrific. I have had two other photo quality printers, one did up to 13 x 19 but had 8 small cartridges that didn't last long and cost about $16.00 each. Had another larger printer that could do 17 x as long as you wanted 8 cartridges at about $75.00 each. Both were great printers but were the prints that much better, matter of opinion. Bottom line the OEM ink for this Epson is affordable. If you can't afford the ink you can't print but that is not a problem with this printer. Have had it about two months and I am impressed. 5

James	28/04/2024
[Yes] Very nice printer. Replacing an Epson Stylus 1400 that finally died. This seems to have produce excellent quality color prints but also does excellent b&w photos as well as functioning as a day to day printer and scanner. 5

[32.32 lb] This is the best printer I've owned in the last 10 years. Ink is easy to load and affordable. Picture quality is great and it doesn't have trouble connecting to my computer. 5

[25 to 400%] Love this printer. I have not used all the features yet. Like that I can print away from the printer. Great idea to have 3 different sizes of paper fully stocked at all times. The color is fantastic. 5
