Our take on the Epson EcoTank ET-4850
The Epson EcoTank ET-4850 is a color inkjet all-in-one with refillable ink tanks instead of cartridges, plus print, scan, copy and fax. It has a 250-sheet tray, a 35-sheet automatic document feeder, a touchscreen, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and AirPrint. Print speeds are modest at 15.5 ppm mono and 8.5 ppm color, and there is no automatic duplex printing. It suits home offices and small workgroups that print a lot and want low running costs, but buyers who need fast output or two-sided printing should look at the EcoTank models with duplex or a laser.
- Refillable ink tanks cut running costs sharply
- 250-sheet tray and 35-sheet ADF handle bigger jobs
- Print, scan, copy and fax in one unit
- Ethernet, Wi-Fi, AirPrint and a touchscreen
- Sharp 4800 x 1200 dpi output, good for photos

What reviewers say
Owners rate the ET-4850 highly for cheap refills and reliable everyday printing. The main complaints are the lack of auto-duplex and slow color speeds.
- Ink costPraisedOwners say the refillable tanks make everyday printing far cheaper than cartridge printers.
- Duplex printingCriticisedReviewers complain there is no automatic two-sided printing, so double-sided jobs are manual.
- Print speedMixedMono text is fine, but color pages at 8.5 ppm feel slow for photo-heavy jobs.
Questions and answers
- Does the ET-4850 print double-sided automatically?
- No. It has no automatic duplex unit, so you flip pages yourself for two-sided printing.
- How does it compare with the EcoTank ET-2850?
- The ET-4850 adds an ADF, fax, Ethernet and a touchscreen, and it takes a larger 250-sheet tray. The ET-2850 is smaller and simpler but has no ADF or fax.
- Is it good for photo printing?
- Yes. It prints at up to 4800 x 1200 dpi in color, and owners are happy with photo quality, though color pages come out slowly.
- What connections does it support?
- Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB and Apple AirPrint. There is no memory card reader or PictBridge port.
- How often do the ink tanks need refilling?
- That depends on your volume, but the tanks hold far more ink than cartridges, so most home offices refill only a few times a year.
- What is in the box?
- The printer, a set of ink bottles to fill the tanks, a power cord and setup guides. A USB cable is usually not included.
