The ink bottles don't dry out, so you won't need to replace the bottles as often.
You can save paper thanks to the automatic duplex printing feature.
You can scan or copy a large stack of paper in one go, double-sided, with the duplex automatic document feeder.
You don’t print documents on A3 or A3+ paper.

Description

With the Epson EcoTank ET-4950, you can print all your documents in standard A4 size. This printer uses ink tank technology. The ink bottles let you print thousands of pages, and the ink doesn’t dry out. You can also print images in good quality, which is useful if you often print color documents. Thanks to the automatic document feeder, you can scan or copy multiple sheets in a row. The printer supports automatic duplex printing, so you save paper. With automatic duplex scanning, the printer scans both sides of your paper without you having to turn it over. This way, you save time when you’re digitizing documents.

Our expert review

A handy home printer with automatic functions

Economical printing with ink bottles
The paper tray is at the front.
Sharp text and beautiful colors
With Wi-Fi Direct, you do not use Wi-Fi.

With the Epson EcoTank ET-4950, I print all my documents and images in good quality. Installation is easy, and I connect the printer to my laptop or iPhone quickly via Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct. However, I do find it a pity that the screen becomes unreadable if I am not sitting directly in front of it.

First impression In the box, I find the printer, a manual, and a power cable. There are also 5 ink bottles in the package: 2 black, 1 magenta, 1 cyan, and 1 yellow. The printer is in a plastic bag, making it easy to take out of the box. This EcoTank then guides me step-by-step through the installation via the touchscreen on the front. I carefully place the ink bottles one by one upside down onto the correct reservoir so that the ink flows into the printer. When the reservoir is full, I remove the bottle. After this, I place a stack of A4 paper in the paper tray and adjust the guides. The paper tray is located at the front of the printer, so I can safely place it in a cupboard or against a wall. Always a stable connection with Wi-Fi Direct

Now that the printer is loaded, I start the connection process. On the touchscreen, I select Wi-Fi Direct, after which a new window opens with a password. At the same time, the ET-4950 appears in the Wi-Fi list on my laptop. I select the printer, enter the password, and am connected immediately. Because the printer does not use a router with Wi-Fi Direct, I am not browsing the internet in the meantime. Fortunately, I switch Wi-Fi connections quickly, and the printer remembers my laptop, so I don't have to enter the password again and again. I always prefer Wi-Fi Direct because it prevents potential Wi-Fi problems with false signals.

Fast printing with Apple AirPrint

I often simply print my documents using my iPhone. For this, I use the handy Apple AirPrint. Apple AirPrint is standard on every Apple device, allowing me to connect my printer quickly. If I want to print something directly from apps like Safari, Mail, and Photos, I do so via the share menu. I select the printer and adjust the paper size. Double-sided automatic document feeder With this Epson, I quickly scan or copy a large stack of paper double-sided using the double-sided automatic document feeder. The prints look sharp and have beautiful colors. The quality is fine for when I print color images, for example, for someone's birthday.

Review is 6,4 out of 10.

Beautiful prints, but the quality is very disappointing.

Good print quality
Cheap prints
Paper gets jammed all the time

After thorough research and watching several YouTube reviews, I chose this printer. On paper, it's the perfect printer, but the quality is very disappointing. Immediately after unpacking and turning it on for the first time, I received error messages about missing and/or defective components. Once this was finally resolved and the ink cartridges were filled with ink, it was very easy to use. I got the printer working without any problems on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. However, the printer also proved to be very unreliable in use: about 1 in 5 prints jams, after which the paper has to be removed manually. Duplex printing is completely impossible without paper jams, as is duplex scanning.

Finally, I purchased this multifunction printer to replace my printer and separate scanner, but unfortunately, it can't scan to my local network share. So, I still need the separate scanner.

Considering all this, I've decided to return the printer.
