10 reviews for Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16650 Wireless Wide-Format Color All-in-One Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier, Fax and Ethernet, White
Big, Intricate, and Fragile
The printer is a big beauty. It dwarfs my old Epson EF-3540 dual tray all-in-one, which I used to think was huge. This printer essentially provides a new version of my old workhorse, but enlarged to work at tabloid size. You really need a substantial stand with a pad of 21w x 16d to accommodate the base. But that’s only part of the story. It requires at least 11-12 more inches behind it to allow for the rear feed tray to fully unfold. And it has this really glamourous MOTORIZED output tray that extends to the front by a good 9 inches when you print something (It auto-retracts when it is powered off.) So your real working area is 24w x 32d. Not trivial in a small office.I have printed and copied letter and tabloid (11×17) using the automated document feeder, and can attest to that function. The fax checked out and got dial tone. It has two paper feed cassettes, both of which can hold full tabloid sized paper. The manual incorrectly states that the maximum size is A3 (11.7 × 16.5 inches). Keep in mind that the cassette(s) actually expand toward the front to hold this larger paper, so they stick out of the front of the printer by about 6 extra inches when loaded with tabloid. One thing I noted is that when I first expanded the cassette, placed the tabloid paper, and inserted the cassette, it felt ‘funny’, and sure enough, the printer said that there was a cassette load error. I got around this by making the cassette normal sized, inserting it (it felt better), then reaching in and pressing the expansion button to make it large again. I could then insert the paper and print. I will have to troubleshoot this to understand why that bottom cassette had to be ‘babied’.I manually set up the printer for fax and network, set up my paper loads, then loaded the driver on my PC and printed away. Everything worked as expected. I printed an 11×17 graphic from PowerPoint (I had specified the tabloid size in the page setup), by simply printing it. I didn’t have to choose the paper feed tray, the printer/driver figured it out.Which brings me to a praise – and a concern. This is not your father’s all-in-one. With the elegant high definition touch panel, the Lexus-like motorized output tray, and soft sounds, it feels like a multiple thousand dollar office printer. Lots of control over what is happening and elegance. But what concerns me is the fragility of the thing. If I lift a corner of the printer it flexes. My old WF-3540 did not do that; it was much stiffer. The feed trays feel like if I am not careful, I am going to break one. They may well last me another 9 years (They’d better after spending 9 bills!), but I really can’t drop one or jam it in hard. A soft touch will be required to ensure longevity.Based on a not insignificant minority of people who experienced failures right at the one year point, I did something uncommon for me, I bought the extended warranty. That means I’ll probably never need it!
Great Printer….but read the find print.
I have no problem with the product, works great, easy to use. I do have a problem with the marketing and the outcome of dealing with that major marketing lure of FREE INK FOR 2 YEARS. This product is marketed as free unlimited ink for two years. You have to pay to send in your empty ink bottles along with paper work to receive a rebate. Then you are in the dark with waiting for your money.They say “please allow up to 10 weeks for receipt of your rebate. Submission processing takes 8-10 weeks for physical cards and checks, and 4-6 weeks for virtual cards .”It’s free ink but with a huge leash. I wish I knew this at first.UPDATE 2/5/2024: I just sent in my second ink return so I can get my “easy” rebate. A few short days waiting I get an email saying my “rebate is invalid”. They have a phone number that does not have a real person to speak to (just sends you in circles). You have to chat via A.I. chat bot. Finally after you struggle with that the A.I. connects you with a real person that tells you everything you already know. Then you are told their is no error with what has been submitted and all is well. Then told to contact them in 7+ days to check the status again. Shaq does not explain all of this head ache in the ads.I have buyers remorse.
Printer doesn’t work out of the box, can’t get online support Solved
Setting up printer for the first time, it is stuck in paper jam mode. Called Epson, they will not honor warranty because it is a third party. No phone support from the online seller (BESTDEAL). From other reviews, this may be an Epson problem not starting up. The printer ws lockup with print bar not put into print mode. This isn’t a problem with the vendor. It was a problem with Epson startup document.
An astonishing printer
if you’re used to consumer/small office printers, this one will elevate you immediately to a higher level of printer awareness.The quality is incredible, and despite having an intimidating array of settings and features it is remarkably easy to set up and to get printing on, considering the complexity. Connecting to the printer literally could not be easier; adding it to the company wifi was simple and everything else on the network (including my cellphone) have instant access, so you don’t need to be some kind of tech genius to get it going. The ink process was a little scary at first, having worked with older generation liquid ink printers, but clearly Epson has a lot of experience here and has devoted a lot of their engineering effort to ensuring the ink reloading was easy, clean, and a no-brainer once you’ve done it once. The free ink for 2 years is also a great bargain considering that ink is the main expense and headache of printers in general.I’m very impressed with this machine and hope that we get many years of use out of it.
Horrible Print Quality
Out of the box, this printer was the worst printer I have ever purchased. Prints were coming out with white and dark lines running through them, and no matter how many adjustments I made, it did not improve. Epson Customer Service had me do a power clean on the machine, which used up the majority of the “up-to-one-year” ink in the printer and made absolutely no difference in the quality. When I called Epson Customer Service back to report the lines were still there, Cheryl asked me to make a copy of something, anything, to which I didn’t understand the point since I was printing from my computer, but I did it anyway. When I told her the lines were still there, she said to clean the glass on the copier! This is the point I realized who and what I was dealing with. Customer service does not listen to what the issue is, but will hang up on you without hesitation.I have returned the printer to Amazon and waiting for a refund. Once the refund is complete, I will order another printer, but certainly not an Epson, mainly due to the treatment from their Customer Service Department.
I have seen reviews complaining of lines down the paper. I had this initially and then did the intensive alignment calibration. It’s best to run it a couple of times to really fine tune it. I have not had any issues since. The complaint of having to load 13 x 18 paper from the manual load is true and could be a nuisance for people needing to print that size often. Overall I really like the printer and have not had any wireless connection issues like my old brother printer.
My printer doesn’t print pages straight. I use this for sublimation and have ZERO issues with the print quality, however when the print comes out, it is a little crooked. I contacted Epson and first of all, their support personnel have zero clue on the product they are supporting. They keep going back to quality troubleshooting and that is not the issue.They refused warranty work because I am using it for sublimation and again, I have no issues with the quality but want the print to come straight.Anyways, lack of product knowledge, customer service is outsourced to Philippines so there was some slight language barrier, but the worst part is that they tricked me to take photos of inside of the printer so that they could say that I wasn’t using genuine epson ink and that the warranty was invalid. I just wanted the print to come out straight… that’s it.
I ordered the Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16650 on December 10, 2024, expecting a high-quality wide-format all-in-one printer for professional use. Unfortunately, my experience has been anything but professional.From the very first page, the printer produced severe color distortion, streaks, and horizontal lines — as shown in the attached image. Instead of crisp, clean output, the results look smeared, glitched, and completely unusable for any serious work or presentations.I followed all setup instructions, ran multiple cleaning cycles, and used Epson’s own ink, but nothing improved. This points to a defective printhead or faulty hardware straight out of the box.For a premium-priced device marketed as “Pro,” this is unacceptable. I’ll be requesting a return or replacement, and I hope Epson seriously rethinks its quality control.Pros: If you want “AI-style abstract art” without using AI, this printer delivers. Large-format capability (on paper).Promising features (if they worked)Cons: Severe print defects from day one. Completely unusable for professional-quality prints.Wasted hours troubleshooting a brand-new unit.
