Great for printing on a wide variety of paper sizes.

This is actually my third Epson ET-8550 — the first lasted a 4 years, the second unfortunately only 8 months before having issues with the rear paper feeder. Epson replaced it under warranty, with out any problems and I’m now on my third. Despite that hiccup, I'm very happy with the ET-8550. The print quality is excellent, and it handles colour and photo printing well. It's also quite fast, especially for an A3+ printer, with low running costs thanks to the EcoTank. One of the best features is its ability to print on a wide variety of paper sizes and specialty media, including fine art and heavier stock — though the rear feeder seems a bit temperamental, as I’ve experienced. Overall, it's a versatile and high-quality printer, especially for creative work or photo printing — just keep an eye on that rear feed if you’re using thicker paper.
