Our take on the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8500 Wireless Network Color Inkjet 4-In-1 Printer
The Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8500 is a wireless all-in-one inkjet printer built around six dye-based inks, including light cyan and light magenta, for photo printing. It prints, scans, copies and faxes, and handles everything from small borderless photos to 8.5x11 documents and larger sheets. Its refillable tanks hold far more ink than cartridge printers, which is the main reason photo hobbyists and small offices pick it. It is slower on plain text than a dedicated office printer and costs more up front than cartridge all-in-ones, but it is one of the few tank printers tuned for photo quality.

Questions and answers
- Is the ET-8500 good for photo printing?
- Yes. It uses six dye inks, including light cyan and light magenta, for smoother color and detail than a standard four-ink printer. It handles borderless photos up to 8.5x11 and larger sheets.
- How is it different from the ET-8550?
- The ET-8550 adds a flatbed that scans and copies up to 11x17 and a rear feed for thicker media. The ET-8500 covers standard letter-size scanning and copying.
- Do I have to use Epson ink?
- Epson recommends its own refill bottles, and the warranty terms assume genuine Epson ink. Third-party bottles may work but can affect print quality and support.
- What can it do besides print photos?
- It prints, scans, copies and faxes, and it prints on plain paper, photo paper and specialty media. It connects over Wi-Fi and supports mobile printing.
- Is it good for a home office?
- It works for light office use, but text printing is slower than a dedicated business inkjet or laser. Heavy document volume is better served by another model.
