Yes, no problem after drying

So of course that's not true at all. I have just tested it quickly: - In the Android app from Epson, you can select a maximum of 600 dpi. - In the Epson Scan app on my Windows 11 laptop, I can scan at a maximum of 1200 dpi. So you can scan at exactly the resolution listed in the specification. I hope this helps you with your decision.

No, it actually doesn't! If you have 2-sided documents, then you can't use the ADF. I got upset about that at first too.

The device cannot scan double pages automatically. It has an automatic document feeder, but does not support duplex scanning. You have to turn the pages manually to scan both sides.

The main difference between the two models is that the ET-4850 has a 2.4-inch touchscreen display and offers fax functions, while the ET-3850 only has an LCD display with buttons and no fax function. Other differences include the ET-4850's higher recommended monthly print volume and larger paper capacity, but both models offer similar print resolutions and support duplex printing.

The ink tank is included with the Epson EcoTank ET-4850. The printer uses refillable ink tanks that can be refilled with special ink bottles. An additional black ink bottle is often included in the scope of delivery to ensure a long ink supply.

The printer can print on both sides as it has a duplex function. It also has an automatic document feeder (ADF) function that enables documents to be scanned.

The price of the Epson EcoTank ET-4850 printer generally includes the first ink set. According to available information, the package includes an ink set that includes one bottle of 127 ml black ink and three bottles of CMY ink of 70 ml each, as well as an extra bottle of black ink. This ink set is sufficient to print a significant number of pages, making the printer an affordable choice for home and small office use.

The Epson EcoTank ET-4850 printer does not use conventional cartridges, but instead a reusable ink tank system. This system includes four tanks for black, cyan, magenta and yellow. The ink tanks provide a yield of 7500 pages in black and white and 6000 pages in colour. The ink tanks are designed to be easily refilled with compatible ink bottles, such as those in the Epson 502 series.

The 4850 has a micro touchscreen, the 3850 has buttons, otherwise the same apart from the fax function mentioned.

Thank you for pointing this out, the printer only has duplex printing but not duplex scanning. We will adjust the specifications. For product advice, please contact our customer service team directly at https://www.digitec.ch/help. Your enquiry can then be checked individually.

No, it doesn't have a USB port :-(

Yes, ink is included for the first refill.

It's in the description. And yes, there is one. The instructions for use are also available online.

This seems to be an error in digitec's product database or they still have the new and old model variants in there -> see Epson article no. C11CJ60402 resp. C11CJ60401 I recently ordered the ...402 for 349.-.

All the colours were supplied, there are even two bottles of the black colour. In the meantime, I printed out photos in 10x15cm format, on old photo paper that was lying around, and the photos are quite ok.

I have connected my printer serially. The scan resolution is ok for me, I don't have a photoscan so I can't judge. For my applications the printer is ok.

In the meantime, the price of the model with the higher price tag has been reduced. The differences are only that the product with the higher price tag SKU C11CJ60401 is a version for the UK market.

The LAN/WiFi connection is one or the other, so you cant have both. But not sure about the USB, I guess you probably could. Yes you can print directly from your Android using the EPSON Panels app. In fact you can even print from your phone via data connection [i.e. not at home on the same network] - it will print it out the next time it is turned on [stored fro 72 hrs]. I love this printer!

Yes.

No, the ink bottles from this model are not compatible with the ET-5850 model.

Yes, perfectly.

For photo printing, it is better to buy a photo printer. I tried it once but unfortunately not so good. Maybe you can calibrate something.

Should Switzerland really score 20 goals, I don't care about the chashback, because the Schwroz would be the winner of the World Cup with that number of goals....

According to the manufacturer, the printer can be connected via WLAN. Source: https://www.epson.ch/de_CH/produkte/drucker/inkjet/consumer/ecotank-et-4850/p/30164

According to the manufacturer, the printer can only scan on one side and print duplex on its own without turning over from the user's side.
