Deal Details
I've been looking into getting one of these printers mainly because they can be used with sublimation ink for heat press transfers. Found that the Epson EcoTank ET-2850 is on sale on Amazon now for $129.99. It has a cartridge-free ink system, which reduces the cost of printing. The printer is also capable of scanning, copying, and auto 2-sided printing.


Product Description
Your home needs a printer that's fast, affordable, easy to use, and has great features. That's why we developed the EcoTank ET-2850 – 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-2850 features outstanding print quality, auto-duplex printing, a high-resolution flatbed scanner, and convenient color display – making it the perfect family printer.
Epson strongly recommends the use of genuine ink to ensure optimal print quality and performance. Use of non-genuine ink could cause damage not covered under the printer's ltd. wnty. | 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 March 2024. | 2. Individual cartridges estimate based on print yields of an included or replacement set of black and color ink bottles as compared to Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured printers as of March 2024. | 3. 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 [epson.com] | 4. Based on average monthly document print volumes of about 150 pages. | 5. See www.epson.com/voice [epson.com] 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 [epson.com] | 7. Requires Epson Smart Panel app download. Data usage fees may apply.

This is "Amazon Renewed", which basically means it is a used return. Seems to be very problematic, the reviews have many complaints about issues with the printer, printer doesn't work, etc.

If you insist on buying a used printer, which is never recommended for a product with a lot of fussy mechanical parts like a printer, at least buy direct from Epson with their certified ReNew so you getting a tested product with a warranty, not a return that has not even been inspected. Price on the Epson site is the same or better https://epson.com/Certified-ReNew...1CJ63202-N

Just buy it direct from Epson, the concern is that Amazon does not really refurb them, while Epson does actually refurb and guarantee them.

Thanks for pointing this out. Gonna try it. I bought a heavily discounted (new) HP from BestBuy a while back. The original inks (starter) were so bad, I swear we got five prints before they stopped working. Then we decided what the heck and tried SmarInk, and it was a complete disaster. Didn't print for like a week and they already wouldn't print. Then they sent two more sets and on the first, the printer stopped printing text at normal quality, unless we used highest quality which takes like 5 minutes per print. They couldn't figure it out. And now the inks won't print because they are SmartInk. Even if it worked it's like 30 cents a print which is horrible.

My best inkjet experience was an Epson - not saying it was great. But they do have their purpose. Anyway -- I'll report back how it goes.

Can confirm. I've had so many issues with this printer, and I've even had it replaced by Epson and it still works terribly. It isn't uncommon for lines to surface, and not due to print head cleaning. Has given me more aggravation that I'm just over it.
