Keith Cooper's full review of
Keith Cooper's full review of the Epson ET-8500 EcoTank printer. The 8.5"/A4 six ink 'All-in-One' printer includes both pigment and dye based black inks which are filled from 70ml bottles of ink. Is this a good printer for learning about making better photo/art prints?
The review looks at printer features and the different ways it can be used for printing. Both colour and black and white prints are shown including details about colour management and optimal paper selection for print quality.
