Summary: Total disappointment!
Comment: For these few months I've owned this printer only two first weeks were trouble-free, all the rest of the time it was clogged in the any way possible. It is usually one-two weeks interval while it is working, after that one of the colors disappears. One cleaning procedure doesn't help, I've usually repeat it for the five-six times and no results. Very often after cleaning cycles results even worse then before. I've noticed sometimes cleaning doesn't help, but it magically starts working on other day. This printer has its own temper, and it never prints when you want :( and you never know will you be so lucky today to get something decent out of it.
Overall picture quality is pretty good. It likes only Epson paper, when I've tried HP Premium Photo paper I didn't get any good results.
Considering overall quality and reliability I would never recommend this printer to anyone, as well as any Epson at all. This is the first and last Epson for me, it's for sure!

Summary: Stay away from this printer
Comment: I bought this printer as a home office unit since it has the same print heads and specifications as the larger professional quality 1270 and 1280 which I have in my studio. This printer has been fraught with trouble. Mainly with the inks. It clogs almost daily and I have to run it through the cleaning cycle which consumes the ink. I end up replacing the ink cartidges almost monthly and all I'm printing is email and quick brochures. You'd be better off heading over to the Hewlett Packard printers. On top of all of this, good luck getting anywhere with Epson customer service.

Summary: Don't wast your money !
Comment: As stated by many others this printer does a good job printing, but it wastes ink like crazy. If you let it set for more than a couple of days it clogs up and sometimes takes 10+ cleaning cycles to get it to work again. That is if it doesn't empty the cartridge during cleaning.

Pros:Does very nice photos,cheap to buy
Cons:Clogs too much,uses too much ink,doesn't hold much ink,refills too expensive=cost of ownership WAY too high

I had one for a little over a year, and I finally had enough and got a Canon S820 to replace it. If you're thinking about buying the Epson do yourself a favor and get the Canon instead.You will be MUCH happier. Just read the reviews of the Canon on here.

Summary: Not a good choice
Comment: Not a good choice in terms of quality. The nozzle of the printer needs constant cleaning to get rid of white lines. But when you clean it and print out the patterns to check results, it use up the inks. It takes about 4 times to fully clean the nozzle which consumes 10% of a newly replaced ink cartridge. I am a disappointed user and would not recommend this product.

Summary: Save your money
Comment: I`ve had a number of inkjet printers over the years, but this is by far the worst one I've owned. Text quality is acceptable, and the photo quality is better than my old HP 720. The real problem is the usage of ink, particularly the black cartridges used for plain old text printing. We are going through 1 every week or two with very modest output. We used to get at least 8 weeks from the HP 720 with similar test output. I had seen a few people post that the ink usage seemed excessive, but this is ridiculous. We have spent more on black ink in the past 3 months than the cost of the printer. One other negative is that this is a fairly noisy printer, but I can live with the niose, but not the cost of the cartridges. Buyer beware !
