Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 Wireless Wide-Format All-in-One Supertank Printer – 6-Color, Borderless to 13 x 19

The Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 is a wireless wide-format all-in-one supertank printer for photographers, artists, and creative businesses. It uses six Claria ET Premium inks to print borderless photos up to 13 x 19 inches, and adds scanning and copying.

Deep-Dive Story & Problem/Solution

High-Quality Photo Printing Has Always Meant High Ink Costs

Enthusiast photo printers use small cartridges, and a single 13 x 19 print can consume a noticeable share of a set. That cost discourages experimentation and makes selling prints less profitable.

The ET-8550 pairs a six-color photo ink set with refillable EcoTank reservoirs. Epson T552 bottles hold far more ink than cartridges, and each replacement set is equivalent to roughly 100 individual cartridges.

Photo black and gray inks improve shadow detail and neutral monochrome output. Resolution reaches 5760 x 1440 dpi, with borderless printing up to 13 x 19 inches.

Wide-Format Photo Quality

Three paper paths handle photo sizes up to 13 x 19 inches, plus thick media through a straight-through feed. Automatic two-sided printing is available for documents.

Creative Studio All-in-One

A 1200 x 4800 dpi flatbed scanner, a 4.3-inch touchscreen, SD card slot, Wi-Fi 5, Ethernet, and USB support a full creative workflow.
