What's in the box
Product Description
Your family needs a printer that’s fast, affordable, and easy to use. That’s why we developed the EcoTank ET-2803 – an innovative cartridge-free solution that uses high-capacity, easily refillable ink tanks. So you’ll worry less about running out of ink, and save a lot on replacement ink (1). The ET-2803 features genuine Epson print quality, a high-resolution flatbed scanner, and convenient color display – making it the ideal basic home printer.
1. Actual savings and costs will vary considerably based on print tasks, print volumes and usage conditions. Savings and cost per ISO page are based on the cost of replacement ink bottles and the cost of enough standard cartridges to achieve the total page yields of the bottles using the MSRP (USD) and yields for Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured Epson consumer inkjet printers as of October 2020. | 2. Part of the ink from the included bottles is used for initial setup; yields are lower than those of replacement ink bottles. Replacement and included ink bottle yields based on the ISO/IEC 24712 pattern with Epson’s methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. All ink colors are used for printing and printer maintenance, and all colors must be available for printing. For more information, visit www.epson.com/inkinfo | 3. Individual cartridges estimate based on print yields of a replacement set of black and color ink bottles as compared to Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured printers as of October 2020. | 4. Based on average monthly document print volumes of about 125 pages. | 5. See www.epson.com/voice for device compatibility. Epson Connect™ account and voice-activated account registration required. | 6. Most features require an Internet connection to the printer, as well as an Internet- and/or email-enabled device. For a list of Epson Connect enabled printers and compatible devices and apps, visit www.epson.com/connect | 7. Requires Epson Smart Panel App download. Data usage fees may apply. | 8. 12 months of standard limited warranty or 30,000 plain paper sheets (whichever happens first). For an additional 12-month extended service plan (total of 24 months or 30,000 plain paper sheets, whichever happens first), register your product and use Epson genuine ink bottles. See Limited Warranty for details. | 9. For convenient and reasonable recycling options, visit www.epson.com/recycle | 10. SmartWay is an innovative partnership of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that reduces greenhouse gases and other air pollutants and improves fuel efficiency.

Pros: * it is very quiet after I set it to quiet mode.
* the print and copy quality is great with clear, bright colors. Scanning comes out just as clear.
* it is not the fastest printer, but ok for my needs.
* the ECOTANKS ink chambers are easy to fill. Flip open the ECOTANK cover, tip the various color bottles upside down into receptacles for each color and let them run into the dispensers, one bottle at a time. When the color chamber is full, it stops filling up. PS. Have a sheet of paper towel handy because even one little drop of color could get on your hands and desk, and it’s messy. Did that, won’t repeat.
* it is much lighter than my old Epson 4750 series.
* my old Epson had automatic “print on both sides” when needed. This one does not. Instead it has a setting on the print page (see photo) for Manually Print on Both Sides” - and it works like this: turn the printed page over (like tip it on its head), place it in the paper feeder with the printed pages against the “clean” papers, i.e. the printed part facing the back of the printer. I find it very helpful to add page numbers to my printed documents to make sure I have them in proper order at the end of the printing.
Cons:
* the paper tray for the finished printed documents is VERY flimsy. Thank goodness I do not have cats or small kids around to accidentally break it.
* the flap at the end of that tray feels so unsecured that I placed two tiny dots of Loctitec Fun-Tak to “glue” it down. That way I can easily remove and reinstall the fun-Tac if I want to use that flap.
All in all, a nice printer. It is my second Epson printer. The 4750 lasted for 5+ years even after being dropped on concrete during a move.

At first glance, you realize that the ET-2803 is an exercise in cost cutting taken to the extreme. For about $250 you get a paper handling mechanism, a print head, a flatbed scanner, an ink delivery system, wireless connectivity, a screen, and actual interface buttons. Oh, and it's all jammed in a cheap plastic box. Despite that, and the fact that the screen is the size of a postage stamp, the entire package works. It's hard to know longevity on something like this, but I'd imagine that it will survive long enough to go through a few maintenance tanks. What's a maintenance tank, you ask? More on that later...
As far as the setup of the ET-2803 goes, there's very little to it. Unfurl the printer, load the ink, and let it go through the process of drawing the ink down the tubes - you're in business in less than 10 minutes. Things were a little different for me because I didn't load the OEM ink, and instead opted to put in Hippoo sublimation ink. I have seen the ET-2083's OEM ink performance on plain and glossy paper. It's fine, but not great. Printing is fast, but does not yield sharp text OR photo-realistic prints. This makes sense, as the ET-2803 has a cheap printhead, and the printer is only working with 3 colors (plus black). The driver is pretty barebones, not really allowing for much in terms of settings adjustment. While this may be good for the plug-and-play crowd, it really doesn't do you any favors when trying to dial in the quality of your printed output.
I definitely have had some clogging issues with my printer, but acknowledge that is probably due to the 3rd-party ink that I've put in my printer, and not an inherent problem with the Epson. I mention it, though, because I have run through the various cleaning procedures on the printer's maintenance menu. The design of the printer incorporates a "last-resort" cleaning method, beyond normal head cleaning, that flushes all of the ink in the tubes into the maintenance box. That's a LOT of ink. I don't imagine most users will run a power clean, but it may be necessary if your printer sits unused for long periods. If you do run the power clean, plan to go through ink more quickly than expected, and expect to replace your maintenance tank within your printer's lifespan (fortunately, it's not difficult or expensive).
My issues with the ET-2803 are likely self-inflicted through the use of sublimation ink. The ET-2803 is an OK sublimation printer, and is one of the least expensive ways to enter the hobby. As far as a general-use printer goes, the ET-2803 is a mixed bag. Consumables are much less expensive than cartridge-based inkjet printers, which is great. Print quality is usable, but not great. The main thing is that this printer makes sense in some use cases, but not in others. For example, if you print semi-regularly, occasionally scan, and sometimes need color printing, this is a good choice. If you want to dabble with sublimation printing, this is a entry-level choice. However, if you rarely print, you're probably better off with a b/w laser printer. Conditionally Recommended

First and foremost, the EcoTank technology is an absolute game-changer. Gone are the days of constantly worrying about running out of ink at the most inconvenient times. With the EcoTank system, I can print to my heart's content without ever having to stress about replacing cartridges. The large ink tanks hold a substantial amount of ink, and the refill process is quick, mess-free, and incredibly cost-effective. This not only saves me valuable time but also significantly reduces my printing costs, allowing me to allocate more resources to other aspects of my business.
Furthermore, the print quality of the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 is absolutely outstanding. Whether I'm printing vibrant color labels for my jewelry packaging or high-resolution images for marketing materials, the results are consistently crisp, clear, and true to life. The color accuracy and detail reproduction are second to none, ensuring that my designs are presented in the best possible light.
In addition to its impressive printing capabilities, the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 is also a versatile all-in-one device that meets all of my scanning and copying needs. The built-in scanner delivers sharp and accurate scans, while the intuitive copying function allows me to effortlessly replicate documents and images with just the touch of a button. This multi-functionality is incredibly convenient and eliminates the need for separate scanning and copying devices, saving both space and money in my small home office.
Another standout feature of the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 is its seamless wireless connectivity. With built-in Wi-Fi, I can easily print from my laptop, tablet, or smartphone without having to deal with cumbersome cables or complicated setup processes. The Epson iPrint app makes it a breeze to print and scan directly from my mobile devices, allowing me to stay productive even when I'm away from my desk.
Overall, I can't speak highly enough about the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless Color All-in-One Printer. It has truly revolutionized the way I run my crafting business, providing me with reliable, high-quality printing, scanning, and copying capabilities without breaking the bank. If you're in the market for a basic home printer that delivers exceptional performance and value, look no further than the Epson EcoTank ET-2800. It's a game-changer that will take your crafting business to the next level.
It arrived promptly, as only Amazon can do, well packaged and protected from clumsy handlers.
It was simple to unpack, strip adhesive tape on movable parts and start it. The printed instructions were straightforward. I found pouring ink into the unit's tanks more promising than cartridges. The process was simple and easy, without a handful of plastic wrap left over. as with cartridges. I have added more ink since I bought the unit, and it's very simple - no spillage or mess. Additionally, the ink is less expensive than the cartridges I used on my past printer and holds more ink,
The setup was simple as well -with one proviso. The included CD dropped the needed software onto my desktop; I loaded the paper and had my first print. There were a couple of illegible lines on the test print, so following the written instructions, I cleaned the ink heads, which fixed that.
This brings me to the "Proviso". The integral screen that provides information and direction for various actions by the printer is tiny- 1-inch square. To read the information/directions I had to get down on my hands and knees. Bad eyes I guess, or bad placement ( under my desk) but the screen is still very small.
The print quality is 1st class, and I am very satisfied with the glossy, colour-accurate photographs it produces, as well as day-to-day B&W and other basic colour prints.
The Wifi connection to my computer was automatic.
For the price, quality and function, I think it's a good buy, notwithstanding the small screen.
First and foremost, the setup process was an absolute breeze. I had it up and running in no time, and the ease of connecting it to my Wi-Fi network was a pleasant surprise. No more wrestling with complicated instructions or frustrating connections!
When it comes to printing, this machine doesn't disappoint. It's impressively quick, churning out prints in no time without sacrificing quality. The prints it produces are sharp, vibrant, and of high quality, making my documents and photos look fantastic.
One standout feature for me is the ink tank system. Say goodbye to constantly replacing expensive ink cartridges. With this printer, I've found that the ink lasts longer, and the tank system is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly.
In summary, this printer is a winner in my book. It's quick, easy to set up, effortlessly connects to Wi-Fi, and consistently delivers great prints. The ink tank system is a game-changer for me, and I appreciate the overall quality and performance of this printer. If you're in the market for a reliable and efficient printer, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It's a great printer overall!
