Summary: Paradigmatic Printer Rip Off
Comment: "Why should a zero-stars review be possible?" Epson Stylus Printers; I rest my case.
Printer rip off perfected. Paradigmatic. Just take $150 and light a match to it rather than spend it on this. Save yourself the trouble of unpacking it and the insults of its pitiful performance. Or I guess you could buy it and drive it straight to the landfill if you can't stand to actually burn $150 in US Currency, which I think may be a crime anyway. So I guess the best advice is to simply not buy it.

Summary: A ROBBERY!!!!
Comment: The worst printer I have had. I was able to print two pics without problem and never again. The head dries and you have to use the nozzle cleaner which basically consumes your ink. Epson engineered this product to make you spend your money in ink!!! I have never been able to get good quality print outs anymore. I clean the heads 3 times before it prints out so it comes out well but then, of course, i don't have any ink left.
WORST THING IS that today I have ran out of color ink (trying to clean the head) and all I need to do is to print a school paper (in black and white) BUT IT DOESN'T LET ME because it requires me to spend the $40 in the color cartridge in order to print black. I AM EXTREMELY dissatisfied with the printer.
WILL NEVER BUY EPSON AGAIN. And by the way, most of the positive feedback left before me look like full-blown lies put by sellers! or someone using the printer during the first day after purchase.

Summary: Expensive with short life
Comment: Worked great for the first few months, then i had to buy new ink cartridges. The most expensive ink cartridges ever, and they are soo tiny they hardly hold any ink. Severe banding started halfway through the second set of cartidges and no amount of head cleaning would fix it. Now still into the 3rd set of cartridges and the printer is pretty much garbage, I use ti mainly to print drafts. Sadly this was the case with my last epson printer as well. I think epson needs to rethink the way it designs printers.

Summary: Great photo quality - when it has ink
Comment: This printer has superb photo-quality printing for printers in its price range. The text quality is acceptable but not fantastic.
The ink cartridge nozzles dry out after about 2 days of inactivity, requiring an ink-consuming process of nozzle checks and head cleanings. The software indicating ink status estimates "pages remaining" but frequently misrepresents new cartridges as low, and older cartridges as empty when they continue to print. And the ink status levels inexplicably drain down from day to day without prints occuring.
All in all, this printer is junk. While the photo quality continues to impress me, it takes too much fussy cleanings, maintenance, and trips to the store to buy ink than should be required for a reliable piece of machinery in the 21st century.
Avoid it and similar Epson printers.

Summary: PIECE OF ..... JUNK
Comment: This product is definitely a mistake in the printer industry. I'm not quite sure what those guys at EPSON were doing. I spent half of the ink simply trying to clean up the head, because the printer head was always clogged (still is too)!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! Just throw it in the garbage!!!
