Large Size Prints Without a Large Price<\/h3>\n

Some call me “old school” but I’m not a big fan of showing pictures on the tiny screen of my cellphone.<\/p>\n

Quite often I print some of my favorite shots onto photo paper. With my Epson ET-3750 Printer I’ve made hundreds of 4″x6″ prints and dozens of larger 8-1\/2″x11″ enlargements. In the two years that I’ve had the ET-3750 printer I have never had to change an ink cartridge<\/strong>. The printer’s large EcoTanks are refillable making the cost of the prints very affordable.<\/p>\n

Every so often I’ll take a picture that I’d like to show off<\/u> – meaning print a bigger enlargement. Earlier this year I found out about the Epson ET-8550 EcoTank that handles paper up to 13″x19″ at an affordable $600 price.<\/p>\n

Here’s a few short steps for setting up the printer for use.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a>The shipping carton is about 30″ x 20″ x 10″ and weighs about 20 lbs.<\/center><\/td>\n
<\/a>The bright blue tape secures the parts during shipment is easily removed.<\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a>The printer uses four inks: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The shipment includes a second bottle of black ink.<\/center><\/td>\n
<\/a>Each ink bottle fills the respective reservoir. The bottles are “coded” to prevent inadvertent filling mistakes.<\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a>You can visually view the level of each ink reservoir. The ink supply will yield about 2400 4″x6″ prints for about 4 cents each.<\/center><\/td>\n
<\/a>The bottom tray holds smaller paper (e.g. 4″x6″) and larger (8-1\/2″x11″). The rear paper feeder holds larger paper up to 13″x19″.<\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a>Here is a completed 13″x19″ print. You can see the rear paper feeder.<\/center><\/td>\n
<\/a><\/center>You can compare the print size next to the 12″ ruler. This print was on standard ink print paper.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
