- What paper sizes does the ET-8550 handle?
- It prints up to 13 by 19 inches and also handles smaller cut sheets and photo paper. The rear feed takes thicker media.
- Does it print black-and-white photos well?
- Yes. It uses a dedicated photo black and a gray ink, which owners say gives neutral monochrome prints.
- How does it compare with the ET-8500?
- The ET-8550 adds wide-format printing up to 13x19 inches; the ET-8500 is limited to smaller sheets. Both share the six-ink tank system.
- Can it scan and copy?
- Yes. It has a flatbed scanner and works as a copier, so it covers more than printing alone.
- Is it good for everyday document printing?
- It can print documents, but it is slower and bulkier than a standard office inkjet. Text quality on plain paper is average.
- Does it need special ink?
- It uses Epson's refillable ink bottles for its six tanks. Owners refill from bottles rather than swapping cartridges.
