🧵✨ Teflon Paper: The Unsung Hero of Appliqué Chaos
Size: 11"×17" 20Sheets & 8.5"×11" 10Sheets, Color: Teflon Paper
If you’re like me and enjoy assembling 37 microscopic pieces of fabric into something that hopefully resembles a dog, person, or llama in a sweater—this stuff is magic. I use it to build my appliqué masterpieces one tiny ironed layer at a time. The best part? Once your Franken-dog is assembled, you can just slide it off and fuse it to your quilt like a boss. No sticking, no scorched disasters—just smooth, glorious precision. Honestly, I love it more than I love some people.

Excellent quality and value!
Style: All-in-One Printer, Style: All-in-One Printer
I bought the Epson EcoTank 2400 yesterday and set it up today. If it continues performing this well for the next ten years, I’ll be very happy with this purchase.
I bought it to replace my old Canon MP190. The print quality on the Canon suddenly became very poor, which may honestly have been more of a cartridge issue than a printer issue, but testing that would have been expensive. On top of that, the printer was old enough that modern operating systems no longer support the scanner drivers, so I couldn’t even use the flatbed scanner anymore. At that point, replacing the whole printer made more sense. The ET-2400 is not quite as wide as the MP190 which is a nice plus.
The biggest advantage of the EcoTank line is the refillable ink tanks. Printer ink is already expensive, but traditional cartridges also include microchips and hardware that drive the cost even higher. With this printer, I can refill only the specific color I need instead of replacing an entire color cartridge because one channel ran out.
I mostly print proxies and alternate art for Magic: The Gathering, so I regularly print nearly full-page, full-color images (eight cards per page). Because of that, image quality matters a lot to me. I also wanted a working flatbed scanner so I could scan my paintings instead of photographing them.
I did not use the wireless features. Instead, I connected the printer directly to my computer with a USB cable after downloading Epson’s management software. Setup was straightforward, the software updated itself automatically after asking permission, and my computer recognized the printer immediately. It showed up in Photoshop right away with no issues.
The only thing I disliked during setup was that the registration process appears to require opting into marketing emails. I’ll unsubscribe later.
Print Quality:
Colors are bright and vibrant, blacks are deep and dark, and the images come out crisp and clean. Some reviewers mentioned getting “light gray” blacks, but I haven’t experienced that problem at all.
Scanning:
The flatbed scanner is slightly too small for a full 9x12 painting, but I expected that and don’t consider it a flaw. The scans came out vibrant, sharp, and detailed. It couldn’t fully capture the shimmer of my metallic paints, but that’s normal — I usually need angled lighting in photographs to show metallic effects accurately anyway.

Incredibly cost-efficient, reliable, and perfect for everyday home use
Style: All-in-One Printer, Style: All-in-One Printer
I’ve been using the Epson EcoTank ET-2400, and it’s easily one of the best home printers I’ve owned—especially if you’re tired of constantly buying expensive ink cartridges.
Ink Savings (Huge Win):
The cartridge-free EcoTank system is a game changer. Filling the tanks is simple, mess-free, and the amount of ink you get lasts a long time. I’ve printed a ton already and barely made a dent. If you print regularly, this alone makes the printer worth it.
Print Quality:
For everyday documents, it’s excellent—sharp text and clean color prints. Even photos come out crisp and vibrant, though I will say it’s a bit slower when printing high-definition images. That said, the final quality is absolutely worth the wait.
Functionality:
Having print, scan, and copy all in one compact machine is super convenient. It handles everything I need for home use—school papers, forms, photos, and more.
Wireless & Ease of Use:
Setup was quick, and the wireless printing works smoothly from my phone and computer. The interface is simple and beginner-friendly, so you don’t need to be tech-savvy to get it up and running.
Pros:
✔️ Extremely low ink cost (no cartridges!)
✔️ Crisp text and vibrant color prints
✔️ Easy to refill and maintain
✔️ Wireless printing works great
✔️ All-in-one functionality (print/scan/copy)
✔️ Compact and clean design
Cons:
➖ Slower when printing high-quality photos
➖ Basic display (not fancy, but functional)
Final Verdict:
If you want a budget-friendly, low-maintenance printer with excellent print quality and huge long-term savings on ink, the EcoTank ET-2400 is an outstanding choice. Perfect for everyday home use—and the slow photo printing is a small trade-off for how good the results look. Highly recommend!
