A: Hi Nanana, thanks for reaching out about Epson EcoTank ET-3850 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer, Copier, Scanner - White.

Q: Will this printer print on cardstock that is 100lb (270 gsm) or 110lb (300 gsm)? Can it also print paper that is 25lb (40 gsm)?
submitted by tnguye7 - 1 year ago
A: Hello tnguye7. The ET-3850 can print on card stock. However, the thickest paper we have tested on the machine is Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy, which weighs 79 lb. For cardstock, we have tested similar Epson paper that weighs around 44 lb. Please be aware that these recommendations are for Epson paper only. You can try a cardstock that falls in that range, but your results can vary when using other brands and heavier paper. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team
submitted byEpson - 1 year agoBrand expertA: Hi tnguye7, thanks for reaching out about Epson EcoTank ET-3850 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer, Copier, Scanner - White. The heaviest paper the Epson ET-3850 supports is Epson Premium Photo Glossy paper weighing 79 lb. Unfortunately, using 110lb paper in the machine is not recommended and can lead to paper feed issues. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Less than 2 months old and since day one it doesn’t print the colors on the screen, no matter how many cleaning cycles and alignments I do. So sad. Something has changed. I had an epson for 5+ years and was great. This new one-horrible and it’s same model. So drivers have changed I assume. I tried the downloading and installing. Even swapped for more expensive epson and nope same problem.

Worked so well for about 4 months. Then, stopped recognizing each computer randomly. Now, the printer will not print unless I plug directly into the printer, only then will it acknowledge my computer. No other computers can print. The scanner is no longer recognized either. Get error messages that the ET3850 is "busy" or "offline" or communication error. Tried many things to correct it. Avoid this printer. Unreliable and unpredictable.

Bought this in October. It is our second ecotank, I bought it because I liked the last but it was a lower model so I upgraded and passed the other to our daughter. That being said--for the last several months printing from my computer has been a nightmare. It keeps losing Wi-Fi connection for no discernable reason (computer, tablets, etc, are all fine and dandy, just this printer that isn't on speaking terms any more with the router). Turn off, unplug, plug in, turn on and MMMAAAYYYBBBEEE it will print ONE document for us before stopping. We use this for our product labels, for legal documents, even for our homeschooling. Except now we don't. So. Great printer--until it decides it wants a divorce from your wifi. Then it's irreconcilable differences.

When I bought both of my Eco tank printers, I loved them. However, every time recently, you have to do a firmware update it’s atrocious. No help on the Epson site either because you go to all the work to submit the form and you can’t submit it because their model drop-down menu doesn’t work. I’m beginning to think I will never buy another Epson printer !

This was my worse Epson purchase. The 1 star is for the EcoTank., it does save ink and easy to fill. BUT I'm still on my 1st fill. I want to return this and get a different model. I'm sure somewhere in the fine print it points out that the control panel is a MANUAL screen non touch. I would be okay with that, if I didn't have to scroll through with the arrows for simple tasks like copy and scan. Oh, and forget about scan on the machine. I forget every time and must hit, power (to wake it up) arrow, okay, computer, okay, options are USB (don't use) or preview on computer. arrow, preview on computer, okay, comm error. THEN I remember I must use the scanner utility on the computer! The document feeder is a joke. Does not feed paper with the smallest of a bend anywhere on the edge. No 2side-2side with the ADF, manual only! Lastly the paper carriage, it miss-feeds on a regular basis with a jam or extra sheets. Overall, the unit weights and feels like VERY cheap plastic. I have used Epson for years and still like the brand, but this is not even close to products I have purchased in the past. I'm an IT guy and have bought a lot of Epson's for myself and clients. I'll toss this soon and go with anther unit more suitable for a small office. Time in use approx. 2 months

Highly recommend you do NOT buy. Once waste ink pad is full you can NOT replace it. Page 219 in manual states not a user replaceable item. Have to take it to authorized dealer! Good luck finding and then getting raked over the coals! Printer ends up in landfill because Epson won’t let you change it!

Rude Dude - 3 months ago

I bought this model for home and small business use for me and the rest of my family to use. The two main features were the ink tanks (not cartridges) and the document feeder. I intended to use it with both my Windows 11 HP PC and a Lenovo Chromebook. It turns out that the printer is not visible to my Lenovo Chromebook. EVENTUALLY, I figured out how to install it using its "address", but it was not easy. Most of the online (YouTube, etc.) and written instructions cover an older version of the Chrome operating system and are of no help in this "incompatible" installation. Oh, when it is installed, everything is fine. It is just getting to that point. Windows connections are easy. Nothing on the outer packaging or website tells you there are difficulties connecting Chromebook to this printer. But the website does list the operating systems, and Chrome is not among them. The document feeder is clunky, and seems cheap. It generally works though. While the printer can print 2-sided sheets quite well. It cannot document feed 2-sided sheets. To document feed 2-sided originals, you have to print one side, then insert those copies among the 2-sided sheets, then put that mix into the document feeder. The printer holds a reasonable paper supply, the print quality is fine, and we have had few paper jams so far. Also, the info screen is actually the size of the screen. On an earlier Epson printer we had, the info screen looked like it was a reasonable size, the the part that actually illuminated was the size of a postage stamp (slight exaggeration). Come on, Epson: Somewhere print or video the instructions for hooking up this printer to a Chromebook.

Complicated set-up, took 2 hours to figure it out. Unclear instructions of little help. I was unable to find how to make this thing scan, but apparently it can do that. Adjustment of inkjets is guesswork. First print job worked, looked OK. "Paper jam at the back" on second print job. Opened back, all is clean, no paper to be seen. Checked the paper tray in front, no paper seen stuck in the feeder section. Restarted the printer: paper jam warning still on. Restarted the iMac: paper jam warning still on. It appears that the only way to find the jammed paper is disassemble the whole unit. I thought Epson was a good brand, but never again.

This printer is amazing and setup was a breeze. Downloaded the app and ran it after powering on printer as instructed. Within 15 mins I had everything setup. This included loading the ink cartridges and connected to wife through the app. This printer is awesome and it seems the ink will last a very good while. I have suspicion that most negative reviews here are fake, not all, but most.

I bought this printer over a month ago, and have been struggling with it ever since. There are no directions that account to anything and the print on it is so small that I have to use my magnifying glass. I like the inking process, but bought this for a using while writing a family book with pictures. It's slow and the keypad is difficult to select. I would not buy it again. Epson needs some work on this one.
