Product Summary
Epson EcoTank ET-8550 A3+ Wireless Photo Printer
A premium six-colour EcoTank for borderless A3+ photography, creative media and everyday document printing, with direct touchscreen and mobile control.
The Epson EcoTank ET-8550 is designed for photographers, artists and creative households that want detailed colour and black-and-white output without relying on conventional ink cartridges. Its six-colour system combines pigment black for crisp text with photo black, grey and colour dye inks for expressive photographic printing.
Borderless output up to A3+ makes it suitable for portfolio work, display prints and personalised artwork. Multiple paper paths accommodate standard documents, photo paper and speciality media, while direct printing from memory cards or USB storage allows projects to be completed without opening a computer.
Six-colour photo ink, flexible A3+ media handling and high-yield refillable tanks make the ET-8550 a versatile creative printing studio for the home.
Ideal For
Artists and Crafters
Print on suitable card, craft paper, fine-art media and other specialist materials through dedicated rear feeds.
Creative Family Homes
Combine premium photo printing with everyday document scanning, copying and automatic double-sided A4 output.
Key Features
Six-Colour Claria ET Premium Ink
Photo black and grey inks expand tonal control for photography, while pigment black produces sharp text on plain paper.
Borderless A3+ Photo Printing
Create large edge-to-edge photographs, artwork and portfolio pieces without restricting projects to standard A4 formats.
Five-Way Media Handling
Dedicated front trays and rear feeds support photo paper, A4 documents, A3+ sheets and suitable specialist media.
Thick and Long Media Support
The straight rear paper path accepts suitable media up to 1.3mm thick and can accommodate panoramic sheets up to 2m long.
10.9cm Colour Touchscreen
Navigate print, copy and maintenance functions clearly, with direct access to files stored on compatible memory cards and USB drives.
EcoTank Refillable Ink System
High-capacity tanks and keyed bottles provide straightforward refilling, with one ink set capable of printing up to 2,300 photos.
Colour and Monochrome Photography with Greater Depth
The Claria ET Premium system uses black, photo black, cyan, magenta, yellow and grey inks. The dedicated grey ink helps create smoother tonal transitions in monochrome photography, while photo black supports richer shadow detail and stronger contrast on suitable photo media.
More Freedom to Choose Your Media
Separate front trays keep A4 paper and photo media ready for use, while the A3+ rear tray handles larger sheets and speciality materials. A straight paper path supports suitable card and fine-art media up to 1.3mm thick, opening up options beyond conventional photo paper.
Direct, Mobile and Network Printing
The 10.9cm touchscreen allows photographs to be selected and printed directly from compatible SD cards and USB flash drives. Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and Ethernet provide flexible network access, while Apple AirPrint, Mopria, Epson Connect and Epson Smart Panel support printing, scanning and printer management from compatible mobile devices.
