Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16600 Wireless Wide-format Color All-in-One Supertank Printer

I brought this printer over a year ago. It is absolutely the worst printer I have had in my thirty-plus years of using printers. Getting an update almost every other month and still the printer prints erratically. Now it is no longer printer color. My very first printer with an Epson line printer. It was fabulous. What happened to Epson?

After seeing the 1 star reviews and the repeated problems that Epson is not addressing, but instead condescending to the patron telling them they are sorry look at the FAQs.. I have decided to avoid Epson. If Epson's support sucks, so to must their printers.

This is the worst printer I have ever used!!!

I have had this printer for more than a year. It has been the most difficult printer I have ever worked with. The print quality is ok. It just almost never works the first time, it must be restarted, the computer must be restarted, the data light will stay on for hours while you wait for it to print. Have tried it directly wired to the computer, have tried it through wifi, have tried it hard wire connected to the network, I have tried it with windows computers, I have tried it with Mac computers. Always seem to have to readjust something to get it to print.

This printer, as with most Epson printers is a complete piece of garbage. The only thing worse than the printer is the lack of support and the fact that Epson will excuse of lying, even if you can prove that you have only used Genuine epson printer refills. If you have been looking for a printer that does 12 x 18, you will quickly find that Epson is one of the only companies that can provide you that for this price point. However, you might as well throw your money in the garbage. The printer will work for a few months if you are lucky.

So far so good. I love the easy to fill tanks and wireless printing!

My friend has this product and it's wonderful.

The wireless sometimes stops responding and have to be shutdown and restarted to work, But themain issue is the quality of the pigment print of pictures, tried all kinds of professional paper in 4x6 but the quality is abysmal, inkjets have more vibrant and true colors. The positive points are the wide format and the speed of printing, but not enough to justify. I wonder if I should have bought the 15000.

One person in an office might eventually get to know how to run this thing, to take advantage of all its features. Me, I’ll be checking the instruction book almost every time I use it! I wanted a simpler m/c that would use wider, longer-than-standard paper, but had to settle for this one because the m/c I wanted (much simpler, cheaper) is not available for who knows how long. Really, I’m not happy.

This was the best printer I have ever had I’m so happy definitely recommend to anybody

I am very pleased with the speed and quality of this machine. As a small business owner, this printer is vital to my success.

My spouse and I purchased this printer to replace an HP AIO, a Brother laser printer and an Epson XP-950 three-in-one. We used these printers for personal use and a home-based business but will be moving to a condominium and there will not be space for all three printers. This is a large and heavy printer. It was challenging to get it out of the shipping box. I did not realize until I was lifting it around our home office onto a table that there is a small sticker on the side of the printer which calls for two persons to do the lifting but there was no such warning on the shipping box itself (not that I could find). I would strongly recommend that two adults extract the printer and position it as required. There are several blue tape strips holding the various components together, so it is very important to look inside and out to remove them. There are setup instructions for connecting the printer, in step order. Filling the ink tanks was easy and the process went quickly, and the levels filled to the ½ point. The Wi-Fi set up (it can be configured with a USB or Ethernet connection as well) was straightforward. We set up both paper trays for letter and legal sizes; the legal paper tray is easily selected through software and we appreciate the legal size for printing spreadsheets. We have also been using the 11 X 17 configuration in cassette 2 to print and scan [and enlarge] oversize documents, especially drawings associated with our new condo. The included software set up CD would not run on any of our computers and I ended up downloading the software directly from Epson; I do not know why Epson bothers to include the disk. After the download, set up was relatively easy on our home network and the software was installed on three laptops and one desktop, and on two Samsung devices [phone and tablet]. Strangely, on some computers, not all of the suite of Epson software was installed and on one, only the printing software was installed. We have had to reinstall the entire software suite on three of the four computers. One important reason for choosing this printer was the number of documents, diplomas, certificates, print photos and pieces of artwork [the latter from our from our children and grandchildren] that we wanted to preserve digitally as we knew we would not have the room to store them in the condo once we moved. This printer handles the tasks easily, scanning anything up to 11 X 17. It handles printing, copying [see below for issues] and faxing very well. While faxing may not be in use much these days, we have to use it to order legal documents from the province in which we live, for our business. It also comes in handy faxing home improvement contracts and medical documents. In our six months of use, we have been generally pleased with our investment. However, we have experienced the following issues: • Colour printing is quite slow (advertised at 12 ppm); we’re not sure if that is indicative of the amount of colour on a given page, Wi-Fi speed, browser issues, etc. • The Wi-Fi connection drops occasionally for some reason, resulting in a queue of documents to print; turning the printer on and off generally solves this issue, however, we have not been able to determine why this occurs. The printer is located about 30 cm from our home network router. Once we move to our condo, we plan to configure it through an Ethernet connection. • We have also experienced frustration in getting documents to copy using the automatic document feeder - in spite of the ADF light appearing on the control panel, I keep getting a message that I have to copy from the platen. We have no problem getting faxes or scans to work from the ADF – strange. • Heavier paper [eg. like that used for greeting cards, etc., also known as cardstock] does not print in either simplex or duplex, resulting in printer jams; given the size of this printer, it is a challenge to open up the necessary covers and rear duplexer to extract the damaged paper. Incidentally, my HP all-in-one handles this weight of paper without problem. • The paper type in the printer settings and those specified in the software must match EXACTLY. We have found this frustrating at times when we get an error message about the mismatch and then must determine where the settings are at odds. • The Maintenance Box tab in the Supply Status window sits at about 75%, however, I am not sure what this status bar means; is there something that has to be installed when this “box” no longer works? I note that some reviewers have needed one, and, apparently Epson does not have them, rendering their printers unusable? In six months of use, we have printed: • 1438 prints, of which 346 were black and white and 1092 were colour. • The total printing has reduced our ink levels by about 25% from when we initially filled the tanks; the levels are now at 25%. If we continue at the present rate, we will need to refill the tanks by mid-2021. We believe the advertising for this printer indicated 2 years of ink; we now believe that means if the tank is filled to capacity. I would recommend this printer for home business/home office use.

Great printer for business and personal just very space consuming. This is a review for the Epson EcoTank ET-16600 Wide Format Wireless Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

The ET 16600 is the worst product of its kind I have ever purchased. It is two months old and Epson claims that it is out of warranty. Do not buy under any circumstances.

I purchased this printer in May and it worked flawlessly UNTIL a replacement maintenance was needed. Epson doesn't have them in stock and doesn't know when they will be available. Basically, now I have an overpriced paper weight.

Owned a smaller Epson Ink tank upgrade to A bigger one.

This is a monster all-in -one printer. It has a small footprint for an office, but for home use it's almost too much. If you do a lot of copying, printing or scanning, It's worth making room for. The set-up was drama free and I love not having to worry about ink. using the quiet mode, it doesn't take much longer to print. So far, the only negative I have is you have to be very exact in stting the paper in the cassettes. I have yet to use the wide format, due to extenuating circumstances connected to COVID-19. I'm looking forward to it. This is a review for the Epson EcoTank ET-16600 Wide Format Wireless Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

This printer has been amazing. The Epson Eco-Tank ET-16600 all-in-one printer has been exceeding all my expectations. This machine is a “beast” it can handle all of my printing, scanning, and copying needs. (It also can fax, but I do not have a fax #) Set up was easy. We set the printer up wirelessly. We were up and running in 20 minutes. We have printed, copied and scanned and it is so much faster then any of our old printers. The scanning options were impressive too. Before it scans to your computer, a features box pops up so you scan in any format that you wish. As someone who has been scanning documents for years, I found that exciting. :-) It makes scanning much more streamlined, saving me time and aggravation. I also print coupons. In the past, the stores have had a hard time with scanning some of the codes due to lines from my old printer. I have not had any trouble since using this Epson Eco-tank. My coupons print clean and neat. Another great feature is how the paper tray handles. On our old printer, the tray had to stay out or the paper would fall to the floor. It was also a place our cats wanted to sit. But now with this Epson, the tray stays closed. When you send something to the printer the tray automatically comes out to hold the paper. No more worries about cats breaking the tray of papers landing on the floor. I can keep going on… I also make booklets for work from home. This printer handles the 11 x 17 paper that I use. It also duplexes, so it is handling all my work needs as well as my home needs. Overall, this is a winner. We (my wife and I) both love the print quality, the scanning options, and the ease of coping 2-sided. Installing the ink was impressive also. The ink is in special capped bottles. No mess when you turn it upside and lock it into place. Easiest ink replacement I have ever done. I will be doing a lot of printing, while saving money on ink replacements. I would recommend this printer for anyone that does a lot of various printing jobs.

The Epson ECOTANK ET-16600 will turn your home in to a powerful work station. The product is an all in one wireless printer, It enables the individual to print,fax,scan, and make copies. The ECOtank does this with a unique ink delivery system that reduces the average cost to about two cents. The product replaces several different machines and puts all the power you need right at your fingertips . The setup of the printer was fairly easy. If you have a windows computer there is an enclosed CD rom. However, for my mac pro i just logged into a setup website that walked me thru the process. A generous supply of ink was enclosed and installation was fast with no mess. The printing process is quite fast, scanning went easy and resulted in good quality faxes.

I am really enjoying trying out my new Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16600 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer. It was extremely easy to set up. I was able to connect, download and install the printer drivers very quickly. The directions for how to unpack and set up the printer and ink were very easy to follow. There were plenty of color coded visuals and steps with notes and tips to help place everything in easily and securely. The only issues I had during setup were that the printer is quite large and needed a good sized space to fit, and the tank cover was a bit stuck when I initially tried to open it, but seems to open more easily now that I did open it once. I enjoyed opening the bottle cap of the inks, inserting it into the port, and watching the ink pour into the tank. They did warn that the tank would look less full after priming the printer, and it really did look a lot less than it did initially. I am excited to see how long the printer ink lasts since I will be printing quite a bit on it now. I am excited to try every one of the new features that is included on this printer as well. It does everything from printing to scanning, faxing, copying, and customizable printing. It even had programs for photo editing included in the downloadable software. I am enjoying that feature for editing some pictures I have scanned. I also feel that the printer is nice and quiet, prints quickly, and the color seems to be pretty good so far. I am also pleased with how affordable the ink is now that I have this printer. It will be so much better and much cheaper to replace compared to any printer I have ever owned in the past.
