Review on 🌿 Epson EcoTank ET-4700 Inkjet Printer: Efficient and Eco-friendly Printing Solution by John Bailey

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Disappointed with office electronics

My last 3 printers over the years have been Epson. I swore it to them beforehand. My biggest complaint is about the software. Some of them just don't work. What's even more disturbing is that it even says so in the instruction manual! let me explain. After installing the software, I started trying different things. I wanted to scan something and nothing happened. I checked the user manual and right there in the manual it says in black and white that this version of the scan doesn't work if you're using Windows 10. You need to download another scanning program from the Windows Store. It's wrong if you ask me. I got it working, but didn't like the scan program from the windows store. I also printed out a color copy of my driver's license. Printing with default settings literally took 5 minutes. Must take less than 30 seconds. I love the idea of the ink tanks, but I think they made a mistake with the software and it's printing too slowly. This printer is way overpriced for what you get. I returned it. I ended up buying a Brother MFC-J5845DW for about the same price. Couldn't be happier. The same printout of my license on a Brother printer literally took 10 seconds.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires socket
