- čas přidán 10. 09. 2023
- for the past year we have been using the epson et-2850 printer and i have to say that this printer has been great. I use it alot and i still have plenty of ink left in the printer. I think that at the current rate the Epson ET-2850 printer should give me 1 to 2 more years of printing before i have to refill it. But Epson asked if I wanted to try out the new Epson ET-4850 printer. So i thought i would do a comparison of these 2 printers to show you some of the differences and which one i think you should buy. If you have any questions in regards to the Epson ET-2850 or the Epson ET-4850 please let me know in the comments below.

the 2850 is defintiely a great printer and i think for 90% of home users or students this is going to be a great printer, but if you need the extra features of the 4850 (like bigger paper tray, top loading scanner, front paper loader, and faster) than i think for the additional price its a great purchase.

hi there, I bought 2850 yesterday. Quick question , I can keep my machine close to window - It used to be colder temperature ranging 1 degree to 14 max. Is it okay to keep the machine in cold place or I need to consider keeping it in warm place.
Please advise.
Sir, your presentation was excellent, totally understandable and clear. You covered all differences and features. Kudos to you.
Thanks and welcome
What fantastic and great presentation. You were easy to understand and very thorough except showing how to feed the paper on the ET-2850. A BIG thank you 😊
Excellent reviewing! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
No problem!
Thanks for the update on the 2850! For my dollar, I'd go for the 4850 because of the doc feed and front load, plud the increased speed.
yeah those are features that i find valuable as well.
Besides being a good review, the only thing amiss is, showing the practical aspect of the printer.
Just came across your channel. very underrated. 👍🏽
Thanks so much. Slow and steady.
Just bought the 3830 on Amazon for $399. Gets a 4.4 rating. Looking forward to it.
Hello, Thank you for the review, I heard that the ET printers have ink absorb pad at the back of the printer to absorb recycling inks. when it saturated, it triggers a sensor and it cause the printer to stop working and we need to send it back to Epson repair facility to get it resets. is it true?
The ET-4850 is currently on sale at Sam's Club for US$349.99. I like its paper tray capacity, but I don't truly need the automatic document feeder. (I currently own a Brother INKvestment MFC-J1215DW, which lacks a display screen, so the display screens on either of those Epson models would be a nice upgrade.) I used to own one of the Epson Workforce printers, but had to replace it with the Brother when I just couldn't get the printheads unclogged anymore.
Hey I've been looking into the ET-4850, however I want to print on 300g/m² paper (Magic The Gathering card thickness). Do you have any experience on printing on this kind of paper ? They sometimes call it cardstock paper. According to the product details it can handle it but they do differantiate between normal paper and photo paper. So I'm a bit confused and wary because they make that difference. So if you ever printed on this kind of paper I would love your feedback on it
How do I print 2 sided on the 2850 with heavy paper? (i.g. 85lb to 100lb). Thanks
Can you print envelopes on the The ET-2850?
Greg, just came across your video, nicely done. Any problem hooking up an imac?
Not at all. I connect all my Mac’s to it. Works great.
Pricing at Best Buy (Canada) is a bit lower than the Epson site.
These are great looking printers though the initial pricing is on the higher side. Consumers would certainly need to do their homework to compare pricing over time compared to cartridge printers.
On a personal level, my printer works in a home/office setting with routinely, about 20 pages printed per month.
If I was to choose one it wold probably be the ET-2850.
we were very happy with the 2850. And im sure our daughter will love having it. The 4850 definitley has a few features that im now happy to have. It really depends on if you woul dneed those features and how much you actually print. I do a fair bit of printing and i definitely do a lot of scanning. so useful features for me.
I honestly feel they need to be able to still accept thumb drives...Epson get it together
They both use dye inks so neither is meant for business printing. Dyes are cheap, have great color gamut on photo paper, and clog less. These are important advantages to home printing. Pigment inks are more expensive, you need more pigment colors to achieve the same results on photo paper, clog more but have two unbeatable advantages for business printing: they are water and sun resistant and they don't bleed on the other side on plain paper.
When you see the yellow ink (in the bottle) as bright yellow, it's pigment ink. When it looks like transparent orange, it's dye ink.
so you're saying Epson 502 is dye? Epson official website says 502 set is blk pigment and CMY colors are dye the other similar ink bottles with diff number are all 1 type , they go with the ET printers with same size ink windows ie et-2720. probably all dye. great tip though. another tip dye is simply color liquid mixed into a liquid to make ink, pigment is solid which doesn't dissolve into the base liquid., that's why its darker and less see through.
Does your EP 2850 print on card stock?
Having researched these two printers, both take cardstock up to 300gsm.
Have any idea how good is the PHOTO print quality?
its fine, but neither of these are "photo" printers. They are home and small business printers.
@@gregtoopecan you recommend me the best photo printer
The 4850 is a pain to print Envelopes.
I hate it that these new printers don't take thumb drives
You say "epson Gave me,........ epson decided to send me ......" please explain how or why Epson is giving you free printers. I can't see that they moved you up from 2850 , skipping the 3850 to 4850. The 4850 has a front enclosed paper feeder tray and a front output tray, the printer will not work without it, (good luck if it's damaged), this also means the paper does a C curl from start to finish. It doesn't take bigger paper , it simply has a tray below the output tray , vs 2850 is rear fed and only has a front output tray, which in some applications is BETTER, they both take the SAME size paper. The real differences are that it's more touchscreen, it's a Fax machine and has AUTO feeder scanning and copying , the 2850 does not have. It's buttons also hide when not in use and the build quality of the front panel is superior . We would all love free printers and upgrades tell us how .
im a review channel. so we get gear to test. just like most review channels.
