If you’re due for a printer this is your sign to buy it from Costco 🍕 printers are so expensive as it is and it sucks when they randomly stop working and have pending projects to work which is why I decided to buy from Costco! Costco’s return policy is ✨amazing✨ and printers are part of it. So if my printer were to randomly stop working one day I can go back and switch it out without having to stress 🫶🏼 I’m hoping to one day upgrade to the bigger printers but for now this one has been working so so good!!

It's decent but the thing with ink jet printers is that you have to use them, otherwise the printhead will clog and that costs as much as a new printer to repair. More on reddit.com

Yea the G3270 has quick swappable printheads and Canon offers all replacement parts also themselves. But tbh if you print rarely, then I would rather recommend a colour laser printer, cuz even if the ink in the tanks is sealed, it still tends to dry out if unused way too long More on reddit.com

June 23, 2025If you haven’t bought one of the Epson printers you’re missing out on a very satisfying experience
I have had my printer for 2 years and still haven’t had to buy ink for it. The ink it came with has been enough. I will never buy a printer that takes cartridges again. I’ve saved so much money. More on reddit.com

r/Costco on Reddit: Anyone have any feedback on the Epson EcoTank 3958 printer?
July 19, 2025 -
This printer will be $80 off in a few days and I was debating on getting a new printer because my current one costs way too much in ink, and since I don’t use it often the ink dispensers dry out.
I would get a laser printer, but I need color. I also only need to print once a month. So, getting a color laser printer is quite spendy for my needs. Laser printers also tend to take up a lot of space.
What I need to know:
If I don’t use this often will it have an issue with drying out?
Is this printer worth getting if I only print stuff once a month? I don’t have an option to go somewhere to get things printer because I need to print things on the fly, especially if there are changes in the info I’m printing
Does the WiFi/AirPrint work well? I use a Mac and iPhone, so AirPrint working well is a must.
How big is this thing?
Thanks for any feedback on this printer!

No printer is worth it if you only print 12 times a year. I don’t print every day, but at least once or twice a week. Not a lot of pages, but enough to need a printer.

I have the EcoTank 2850 and I really like it. The ink is way cheaper than cartridge-based, and the print quality is very very good. I use mine for a sticker business, so I have no problem printing regularly, but I've definitely let mine sit for a few weeks to a month without regular use and was able to just do a quick print head cleaning or 2 to get back to normal.

r/printers on Reddit: Looking to replace my Costco ET-2850
June 23, 2025 -
I bought this printer from Costco about a year ago but barely used it until recently. While black-and-white printing works fine, the color prints only come out partially, missing certain colors. I ran the built-in cleaning cycles Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning, and Power Cleaning, which temporarily brought some colors back, but the prints still show empty lines.
From what I’ve seen, this seems to be a common problem with this model. It makes me wonder if Epson wasn’t fully committed to selling these and just offloaded them cheaply through Costco. I’m considering replacing it with the Canon MegaTank G3270, which is currently discounted on Amazon, but I’m worried about running into similar issues. It looks like the Epson sometimes requires third-party maintenance kits and even software hacks to reset it.
Are there any reliable color printers under $300 you’d recommend? I remember Epson used to have printheads integrated into the cartridges, so if there was an issue, you could just swap the cartridge and be back up and running quickly.

You can't leave any inkjet sitting unused for a long period without the ink in the head drying up and clogging the head. I generally recommend printing a nozzle check page or diagnostic page (the terminology varies between the brands) weekly to avoid clogging. It actually takes much longer than just one week for problems to develop, it's just easy to get into the habit of doing something weekly and also doesn't matter if you are busy or forget and skip a week or 2. Personally, I prefer Canon, but the ET-2850 should be a great machine if you don't let it sit and clog. Combined head-and-tank cartridges are much more expensive in terms of cost per page. For very low volume users, they can make some sense for the reason you state, but they are still expensive per page. The Canon G-series MegaTanks are good machines, but they will clog like any other inkjet if the sit unused. One advantage you have with Canon over Epson is much more easily replaceable print heads (they pop in and out just about as easily as the combined head-and-tank cartridges in the cheap printers). If you want a machine that you can leave unused for months, then reliably print without needing any special attention, you need a laser printer. If you don't really need colour, then monochrome laser printers are about the most reliable machines you can get, with a low cost per page in toner. Colour laser printers are more complex machines, but still reliable after sitting unused for an extended period, with a slightly higher cost per page than the mono machines. A colour laser printer will be more expensive to buy than the G-series, and more expensive per page, but it should be highly reliable. The other consideration for inkjet vs laser is that inkjet is generally superior for high quality photo printing (i.e. on proper high quality photo paper). The bottle-fed tank inkjets offer about the lowest cost per page (particularly for colour), but they can suffer if not used regularly. They can be a great solution for higher volume users, but really are overkill for very low volume users. As long as you don't mind the rather high cost per page, the cheaper inkjets with combined head-and-tank cartridges can still be a good solution for very light users. There are also some inkjets (e.g. Canon TS8700 series or TS9500 series) with a semi-permanent head and individual tank-only cartridges, which sit between the combined cartridges and bottle-fed machines in cost per page.
