The print quality is constantly sharp and colorful, as is typical of Epson printers, and images come out more realistic and attractive than most office printers. When you purchase an EcoTank printer, you will receive a large amount of Epson EcoTank ET-4500 Ink in the box. Even taking into consideration the amount of ink used by the printer for self-cleaning, the ink should last a number of years based on printing roughly 30 pages each month. If you print more than that in a month, you'll still save money on printing. As a result, printing using it is rather inexpensive.

The scanner features a 50-sheet ADF, and a full-width control panel with a number pad, navigation arrows, and buttons for mono and color copies is mounted in front of it at a fixed angle. The menus are organised in a logical manner on the display. Breaking the caps off the four ink bottles, peeling the foil tops off them, and squeezing the Epson EcoTank ET-4500 Ink into the tanks at the right-hand end of the printer is the first step in setting up the Epson EcoTank ET-4500. Filling the tanks can be a bit messy, and you must be very cautious to put the proper color Epson EcoTank ET-4500 Ink in the proper tank.

The sole drawback is that it lacks automated duplex printing, has only a mono LCD display, no touchscreen, and a slow print engine. This printer doesn't allow you to print borderless small photos, but given the low photo print quality, you're unlikely to want to anyway. Epson claims mono print speeds of 9.2ppm and color print speeds of 4.5ppm, neither of which is particularly fast. There is no automatic double-sided printing, you must manually flip the page if you want to print on both sides.
Color visuals are handled more effectively. Color gradients are reproduced quite clearly, with no obvious banding or stippling, thanks to Epson EcoTank ET-4500 Ink, which has a lovely warmth to it. It works in both ways - scanned photographs were of great quality, with perfect color balance and minimum speckling.

The fax comes with an automatic document feeder, which makes scanning and copying several documents simple. It also has wi-fi connectivity so you can print wirelessly and it's AirPrint compatible for quick printing from Apple devices.
