The Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8500 is a wireless color all-in-one supertank printer designed primarily for photo printing, offering exceptional print quality and cost efficiency. Below is a detailed overview of its features, specifications, and capabilities.
1. Print Quality and Technology The ET-8500 utilizes a six-color Claria ET Premium ink system that includes Photo Black and Gray inks in addition to the standard cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK). This configuration enhances color accuracy, expands the color gamut, and improves grayscale printing. The printer is capable of producing lab-quality photos with vibrant colors and fine details.
2. Ink Efficiency One of the standout features of the ET-8500 is its supertank design, which allows for significant savings on ink costs. The printer comes with six 70ml ink bottles that can yield up to 6,200 color pages or approximately 7300 prints in photo black. Users can save up to 80% on ink costs compared to traditional cartridge-based printers. Each set of replacement ink bottles can last up to two years depending on usage.

The interface is user-friendly and allows for easy adjustments without needing extensive technical knowledge.
6. Additional Features In addition to high-quality photo printing, the ET-8500 also functions as a scanner and copier with a maximum scanning resolution of 1200 x 4800 dpi. However, it lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF), limiting its capability for multi-page scanning or copying.
