Well. My old Epson xp-310 that I added a CISS to 5 years ago finally gave up the ghost. Much sadness. That thing was a printing beast. So today to assuage my sorrow from its passing I picked up a brand spanking new Epson 3700 Eco tank. Can't wait to get it set up and running. I'm so behind in printing!!

I am curious about the print quality. I'll post some prints tonight after work or tomorrow morning.

I like my EcoTank quite a bit for papercraft. It's not perfect, but more than adequate.

I run an EcoTank 4550. The print quality is great, and the ink is so amazingly cheap, I just print and print. The only problem is it's not really intended to handle 110 lb. cardstock, and frequently fails to feed the sheet, which is frustrating, but not fatal. Overall, I'm very happy with it.

Been wanting one of these for awhile now. I usually use 80lb cover stock for everything and when printing my test samples it fed with no issues. Probably just enough difference in thickness from the 110lb to be in the sweet spot. I just printed this and took the picture with my iphone x. Excuse the harsh lighting from my desk lamp. Ill try to get some up tomorrow that I take in normal light. Since I'm ramping up for a DFD roleplaying game as soon as the book is out I thought I'd reprint the miniatures game cover. I really like the colors on this printer.

Been wanting one of these for awhile now. I usually use 80lb cover stock for everything and when printing my test samples it fed with no issues. Probably just enough difference in thickness from the 110lb to be in the sweet spot. I print covers for my digest-sized books--fanzines and small rulebooks--that I perfect-bind using 65lb. cardstock, and my ET4550 handles that no problem. The results I get with the 110lb. stock are fine, even printing two-sided...it's just that board that thick and heavy is hard for the machine to pick up out of the paper tray, and it just doesn't grip it about a third of the time. I take the page out, flip it over, and put it back in, and it almost always works the second time. It never wastes cardstock or ink, it just needs to be babied a little bit, to print this heavy stock that it was not designed to handle. Super glad you're liking the results you're getting with the new one. I've always found Epson printers to have excellent resolutionk, color intensity, and color accuracy.

One thing I don't like about my Brother printer is that it can't handle cardstock in the regular tray and I have to manually feed it. It certainly slows me down.

I can generally run 110 through my Brother, as long as I don't try to do more than two pages at a time. 67 can be done with no problems at all
