Disappointment - [Posted on 2005-04-16]
I expected that Epson printer would be more economical than an HP (which I have owned 3 over the years). Everyone claims that the cartridges are far cheaper than HP. However, I have to change them 3 times more than when I had an HP! So, yes it is slightly cheaper, but not in the long run. And to make it worse, you have to always "clean" the heads everytime! This is ridiculous - and a waste of time that I do not have. HP - I'm coming back!
Hated it... [Posted on 2006-03-21]
We were talked into this thing by an enthusiastic salesperson, and where stuck with it for two years. It cost easily 10X + it's sale price in wasted ink. Only about 10% of ALL attempts to print photos and documents actually have produced usable products!!! That's not an exaggeration 1 in 10 print attempts will be excellent, or something you would even consider to put in a frame or send to someone, the rest look like creatures from black lagoons to amateur screen printing mishaps.
Then! You can not put more than one piece of ANY type of paper in the feed tray because the things sucks the whole stack half the time (even though the stack is not stuck together or carefully shuffled...)and either self jams or ruins the print job wasting MORE ink.
Total piece of crap. I hate this thing.
Ink Guzzler [Posted on 2006-06-13]
I'm constantly having to run the cleaning maintenance which sucks up ink (you have to waste both color and black inks even if only one is leaving gaps in your printouts). After multiple back-to-back cleanings it still leaves white lines. I give up after awhile and have my husband print things out for me at work. And the on-screen gauge of how much ink remains showed up once and never appeared again! It won't print black text if you're out of color ink and vice versa. I get very few prints out of each cartridge. The ink cartridges are very small besides being very wasteful.
Ink Hog and Printhead clogger [Posted on 2006-09-28]
This printer, I have had two of them, is an ink hog. Fortunately there are many firms supplying refilled cartridges or comaptibles for under $9. The problems lie in (1) the print head clogs (2) the printhead does not readily clean (3) you can't clean the black and color printheads separately or by color ... so you waste a lot of ink.
When it prints, fine. When it is clooged, just buy a used one to reconditioned one to replace it
Hate it also [Posted on 2007-05-03]
This is my third Epson. The head on all of them started clogging within a year. I wasted lots of expensive ink trying to get this one unclogged. I'm done with the brand.
