Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 EcoTank Printer Review

The Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 has decent build quality. It provides good access to paper jams from the rear and an easy view of the ink levels, but you need to lift the entire maintenance bay to access the ink tanks to refill them. The scanner and maintenance bay lids stay up on their own, but the dampening mechanism is bad, and it slams shut if you don't guide it down slowly. While the body feels sturdy, the plastic on the scanner lid feels thin and cheap. Also, the scanner lid has a separation down the middle that allows it to fold about 20 degrees. This allows you to hold the document in place with one hand until the lid is almost down, and it also helps prevent the paper from moving due to the draft of bringing down the lid. Unfortunately, it risks damaging the scanner's white background.

The Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 is short and fairly compact, so it should fit well in most tight areas.

The Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 requires very little maintenance. Its ink tanks yield an exceptionally high number of prints, which means you won't have to refill them often. Replenishing the tank is straightforward as the tanks are easily accessible from the front of the printer, although it can get a bit messy if you aren't careful. Like most inkjet printers, the printheads can clog after extended use. You can resolve this issue with the built-in functions, like nozzle check, head cleaning, and power cleaning, but you may have to repeat these processes a few times to get good results. There are three ways to access the sheet rollers; you can open a panel on the back, lift the scanner, or remove the input trays. The photo paper cassette holds 20 sheets, the regular paper tray holds 100 plain sheets or 20 photo papers, and the back input tray holds 10 sheets. You can see the user's manual here.

The Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 has a decent display. It has arrow keys with an OK and a back button to navigate around the menu, and the black background makes it easy to read the text. The screen has good visibility if you're looking directly at it, but it's hard to see it from the side.

The Epson ET-7750 has an outstanding supertank ink system. It has five high-capacity ink tanks that hold a lot of ink, meaning you shouldn't need to refill them often even if you print regularly. This printer comes with two sets of all four ink bottles, which is significantly more than the small starter kits that are commonly included with most printers.

While you can technically fill the supertanks with any third-party ink, we didn't try it and don't recommend doing so. Low-quality ink can damage the print heads, and, unlike standard inkjet printers, the ink can't be simply removed if there's a problem. Using third-party supplies can also void your warranty.

The Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 has disappointing scanner features. It has a flatbed scanner with high resolution and color depth, but since there's no sheetfed scanner, any multi-paged documents need to be scanned manually, which can be long and tedious. If you need an automatic document feeder that can duplex scan large tabloid-size sheets, check out the Brother MFC-J6945DW.

The Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 can scan at a high resolution and color depth. By default, it scans the document as a black and white PDF at 200 DPI and in a portrait orientation; however, you can change these settings.

The Epson ET-7750's cost-per-print is exceptionally low. Since the ink tanks hold a lot of ink, you shouldn't have to buy ink bottles often, which keeps costs very low.

The printing speed is good. While it prints both black-only text documents and color documents fairly slow, it's very quick at printing photos. It can automatically print double-sided, but some larger sizes, like tabloid, need to be turned over manually.

The Epson ET-7750 has three input trays that support most paper sizes. The front input tray can hold 100 plain papers, 20 photo papers, or 10 envelopes at once. Tabloid size paper only fits in the input tray at the back. Along with the preset sizes, you can also print user-defined sizes. This lets you print on A5-sized paper if you set the measurements manually.

The Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 has a great color gamut. It prints bright, saturated colors well, as you can see the zigzag line clearly in all colors. Blacks look good as they have very little red or blue tint; however, they don't transition well into the darker colors. Other color transitions look great, though, and while there's some banding, it isn't enough to be distracting.

The color accuracy is okay. While it may not be good enough for professions that require exact color reproduction, it should be fine for adding a splash of color to a report.

These results are based on the actual physical photo, not the scanned image provided for reference above, which may not be representative of the printer's photo print quality.

The Epson ET-7750 has incredible connectivity options. While it doesn't support Bluetooth, you can print wirelessly via Wi-Fi, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria Print. You can also print directly from an external storage device via the SD card slot and the USB port at the front.

The Epson ET-7750 uses the Epson iPrint app which allows you to print, scan, and copy directly from the app. Also, you can check ink levels and perform maintenance tasks like firmware updates or printhead cleaning.

The Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 is fully compatible with most commonly-used desktop operating systems. You need to install drivers on Windows devices to have full functionality, but not on macOS and Chrome OS devices.
