This is the best printer I have owned.
I used to be a HP fan. I have had various Epson printers over the years too and I have to say that I am a fan of the super tank versions because ink cartridges are a pain. I have a smaller format version of this one, but the 16600 blows the doors off of the smaller versions. We use this printer for commercial printing projects (high end book publishing) and it really delivers high quality prints, stunning graphics and excellent performance across a wide range of papers and canvas. I highly recommend the investment in this.

Restart daily and Epson will blame you when it’s them
This Epson is the only $1000 device I own that regularly disconnects itself from WiFi — everything else stays connected but it’s disconnecting daily. Worse, their documentation blames it on you. I have to turn off, then turn on the printer back on almost every day. This has been a problem since the printer was new.Compared to the HP I owned, which could easily print in a variety of page sizes, this system is incredibly finicky when printing from Windows or a Mac, including Chrome. You need to specify the right page size three times: first in Chrome, then choose to switch to the system print dialog, select the paper setting a second time, then select the paper type exactly the same again on the printer itself. Interestingly, some of the paper formats don’t match between the Epson-owned Windows print dialog and the Epson printer itself, and if you pick names that don’t match, it won’t print.Additionally, compared to the HP, “borderless” printing cuts off part of the page. The HP was much more exact and had no problem printing without cutting off part of the image.If the printer were still within the return window, I’d return it and get a replacement HP and pay for the ink happily– it was just so much more reliable.

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!

Love this multi-use printer!
I had seen the commercials for this printer and thought, “hey I spend way too much money for printer cartridges for my Canon MX870 ($50 a piece). I’m going to try this Epson.” It has been amazing! It is a high quality machine and so easy to operate on hour home network. We filled up the ink reservoir with the ink bottles provided and have printed hundreds of pages and still have half the ink left. Exceptional value and great performance!

works fine over a year now
bought here on amazon Feb 2023. saw all the negative reviews. Sometimes I have to restart it when it looses connectivity – annoying but not a deal breaker. I had to realign the print heads once, that cost some ink. But otherwise, it’s an awesome 11×17 format printer. I use it for my home office ./ engineering prints, misc prints. GOOD PRINTER.

Failed within a year and denied warranty coverage.
I purchased this printer in December 31, 2023. I used OEM ink to top off my printer as the ink that came with the printer was getting low. In mid December 2024, I did a nozzle check and saw that the Cyan was not printing except for a few segments. I did 20+ cleans, and even a power clean with no results. I contacted EPSON and they stated since the printer was still under warranty they would replace it. They asked for pictures of the ink lines and asked that I call back immediately after submitting the data. When I called back they declined my warranty because the ink tubes were colored (except the black). After speaking to a local Epson repair shop, they said the ink system on some of these models fails to draw the ink correctly and doesn’t feed the print head. After the denial, I ordered some cheap ink and a print head cleaning kit. Cleaned the print head, recharged the head and still no cyan, but all the other colors worked for a while. No nothing. It’s just an overpriced scanner.Update February 2025. I found a company that sells new printhead and ordered a new one. I also bought new ink dampers just in case. Primed ink and ran a power clean. It prints perfect again. New printhead was over $400 and dampers were $50. Still a one star for bad warranty experience. I’m still using the cheap ink that was the system.

Totally regret this purchase.. should’ve stuck with HP.. difficult to find the programs to run this printer. Can’t scan from the printer to the computer; have to go through the shotty Epson app. Bought it for tabloid size printing and scanning and it doesn’t even offer tabloid size scanning in the app.Oh and when I do scan letter size, it shows up tilted..Stick with HP..

This printer is an excellent device. It prints very well with an efficient use of ink. Certainly a device to consider if you are in the market for a printer.

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.
