Epson EcoTank ET-M3170 Wireless Monochrome All-in-One Supertank Printer with ADF, Fax and Ethernet PLUS 2 Years of Unlimited Ink*

This printer cost a bit more than some inkjets, but it is worth the price. Two years after buying it, I just now replaced the ink it came with. A big bottle, that will likely last another 2 years, only cost me $17. After paying $50 every few months for ink cartridges in the past, this is amazing. The print has been excellent. I haven't had to do a print cleaning or alignment to the best of my memory since I got it. I think it goes through self maintenance once or twice a day, because it occasionally makes a noise like it. It also handles faxes well without a dedicated line. Before this I got this I bought an HP laser all in one, which prints great but did not do well on picking up the fax signals. So it is now a back-up wireless printer when my wife or I have a lot to print. Before that I had another Epson, an older model, that handled the fax/answering machine switch well, so I bought this, and it has done well. There have probably been a few times it did not pick up when it should have, but they are in a small minority. Epson seems to be the only one that has got the hand-off between fax and phone working well. For an all in one office machine it is great. I would definitely recommend it.

Es una impresora buena, trabaja acorde a lo esperado

A convenient printer when it worked, however getting it to recognize the networked computers for wireless connectivity was always hit or miss, and the print quality and speed were never very good. On top of the mediocre performance it was also fairly loud and the touchscreen is so tiny it's difficult to use for anyone with fingers bigger than a toddler's. Still while it worked I was willing to live with these shortcomings. Over the last month, 24 months after purchasing it, the printer decided to stop printing. The scanner still worked but all the print functions simply resulted in blank white sheets (and yes I bought a new bottle of ink and topped off ink levels). I tried all the diagnostics over a week and half--nozzle cleanings, head cleanings, power cleanings---and went back and forth with Epson's chatbots and finally got to speak to a human being. I was told the printer was technically out of warranty because I purchased it at the end of the previous month back in 2020 and didn't register it until I received it a week later, which fell into the following month. (How I could've registered the product at the time of purchase without having unboxed the delivered physical unit and had access to the serial number is an open question). So long story short the printer is out of warranty according to Epson and well: tough luck I guess. The customer service rep did "generously" offer me up to a 40% discount on another refurbished printer and also locations of authorized repair centers I could take the unit to get it diagnosed and repaired at full cost to myself. When I was off the phone with him and following the emailed link it turns out the nearest repair center to me is over 250 miles away and second closest one after that is over 600 miles away. So needless to say the economics and hassle of trying to get this printer serviced are absurd. I guess I could ship it, again packing this thing up and sending it would probably cost me $100 roundtrip shipping--and there's no guarantee it can even be fixed. I've never had a printer mysteriously stop printing for no apparent reason like this. But I won't be making the same mistake again when replacing this 2yr old printer--I won't be buying another Epson printer. It's a shame because I've had good experiences with other Epson products like their projectors and flat-bed photo scanners but I honestly cannot recommend any printer from this company.

Producto normalito, efectivamente es constante el atasco de hojas (utilizo calidad premium), la adquirí por la velocidad ya que tengo la M2120, pero no hay gran diferencia; el escáner es sumamente lento - y he probado todas las calidades -; la impresion duplex es SUMAMENTE LENTA

This printer is for home use but we do quite a bit of printing. I got tired of having to go get my printouts in my husband's office so I ordered this Epson printer. I have always had HP printers and the one in my husband's office is HP. But the scanner auto feed on that printer quit working. I was worried the quality wouldn't be as good as HP but it is better! I love this printer and the black ink (which costs only about $20 for a replacement) lasted me over a year. I highly recommend this printer. I got the black and white printer because we don't have a need to print in color.
