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

Everything is OK. - Printers & Accessories

I had to buy this printer on the fly because my old eco-tank (ET-4750) kept getting stuck. When I called they told me the motherboard was broken, which doesn't make much sense to me when the rollers seem to be having trouble grabbing the paper. However, I plan to fix it one day if it's not too expensive. but I'm nervous when Epson cheats on me because they acted like I didn't have a chance to fix the problem. In other words, I couldn't order the part. So I bought this printer because I have an Etsy shop and needed to receive orders asap. I thought I would love this printer as much as I did my first one before it died. Pros: Colors are much brighter. That's all. Cons: It also doesn't connect via Bluetooth and it takes a few minutes to think about printing, it's more expensive than the latest $200 printer versions, it's cheaper, especially the input tray and output tray, the input tray is in there too only on the back, forcing the paper to sit upright so that it curls up when sitting there, and finally the worst. It uses a lot more ink than the previous edition. After owning my first printer for two years, I only had to refill ink two or three times. This should print at least 5,000 color sheets. I've had this machine in less than two months and I'm already halfway through my black ink. So much for ecology. I'm not impressed with the quality of this printer compared to the previous generation. And the price difference is $200. It's a shame.
