This Epson is the best printer I have ever had. It prints great . All your photos and also prints on DVD’s…
You won’t need to look at any other printer a must have.
I had major issues setting it up, “ink levels are not enough for initialization”. This was only because I wasn’t using the cartridges from the printer box, they all have SETUP on them. I was using an extra box of cartridges that I ought as spares.
Excellent home printer. Prints labels really well and photo quality is excellent. Cartridges are expensive but then most inkjets are so just have to be careful how you use it. Great little machine though.
I bought this last July and have been using it since. Works fine and I’ve printed on various papers from standard A4 paper, to photo quality papers, envelopes and different sizes.
The print quality is superb and it is fast and quiet (the scanner almost silent) but the design is just odd.
The paper tray at the very bottom has a front flap that must remain open – why?
Above that you have another paper tray that is supposed to be used for photo paper – but it will not take A4 photo paper (that I use a lot) so I have to put A4 photo paper into the bottom paper cassette. This second paper tray is useless to me, as is the CD tray that sits underneath. The last time I printed a CD was about 15yrs ago.
And then above those is the paper-out tray, that must be pulled out before you can print (fair enough) but you have to lift up the control panel to extract the tray! Why not make the control panel a little less deep so it doesn’t have to be lifted up?
My previous Epson had a setting to turn off the printer after x minutes, but this one doesn’t – it just goes into standby mode – what happened to saving the planet?
A couple of good things though – it takes card easily (even without turning on the thick paper setting) and the cartridges are vertically on the right so easy to get to.
Next time you build a printer Epson – give me a call!
Some manufacturer could steal the market if they made printers that you did not have to take out a second mortgage to replace the ink every 6 months. Epson is not them.
Therefore, this ageing punk is well pleased
The installation from the supplied CD went without a hitch and the print quality is great, although the black ink cartridge supplied in the printer box flatly refused to lock (click) into place.
Although sitting almost fully down in the cartridge tray alongside the coloured cartridges (that did actually did lock down), I’m assuming a cartridge issue but the jury’s out whether it’s the cartridge or the printer cartridge tray at fault. Will update once the black ink cartridge has eventually been replaced.
I like the front paper loading via a tray you pull out which means I can use the printer in an enclosed space unlike my last printer whereby the paper had to be loaded from the rear.
Print quality is more than adequate for my needs and the auto-duplex function is useful if you need to print double-sided output.
One thing to note is that the ink cartridges supplied with the printer ran out before I had even completed the set-up process printing test sheets etc so I would ensure you order a set of inks ahead of time.
It is intuitive and easy to use and I am no IT genius.
Quality of printing – both black and white and colour – are good, but by no means exceptional.
The scanner works well but is much, much slower than my old Canon LIDE 220. It’s OK to scan 1 – 2 pages but would require infinite patience for a 25 page document.
It’s a very reasonable size and a proper paper tray is a bonus for me.
So, for the price, yes it’s good and I am happy. But not over the moon, what a bargain happy.
As far as it works, it is excellent; where it is unsatisfactory is that the language displayed on the screen is Estonian. I have tried to convert it to English, without success. Advice on the web about this kind of problem (surprisingly common it seems) relates to pcs, whereas I have have a mac (OS Big Sur 11.6.2). I can control basic printing from my computer, but I would like to know, and maybe make use, of the printer’s other options. Related to this problem, I found it unsatisfactory that a manual, print or online, was not available. I chose an Epson because my otherwise satisfactory Canon did not talk to my newly installed Big Sur OS – so I didn’t buy a new Canon. Should I avoid Epson as well for any future purchase?
This is a second purchase because I had several cartridges left over. It produces good quality photographic image, but the praise gets a bit thin. It is slow. The 3 drawer system means you have to make sure you have arranged them correctly. The computerised instructions include unnecessary stages which need monitoring before you move on. I use it online. Having it on wi-fi is a total waste of time as you have to sit at arm’s length to follow one or other instruction. (I’m running it in conjunction with a laser printer which is much cheaper to run for all my text documents. ( had problems setting it up because of having the same printer. In the end i removed the old printer, then was able to install the new one without any interaction between the old and new
Apart from all that drama ( only 2 weeks worth) it prints really quickly. From my phone & computer over wifi. Very neat. Good value for money AND I can print onto DVDs which is why I bought it. Now I can move on to the rest of my life !!!!
Once up and running a full-page colour print (i.e. an A4 sized photo print) took around 30s or so.
It also printed perfectly edge to edge on a 6″x4″ paper with what looked like a lab-quality image.
It does print edge-to-edge on A4 and while the print quality was excellent, I only printed on standard paper and it did crinkle due to the wetness of the ink (my fault for not using photo paper), but the image resolution was still significantly better than the Canon printer it replaced.
Text was also quick and clear.
This is a surprisingly small footprint printer, while you do have to manually extend the paper receiver when you want to use the printer, once finished it very neatly packs away into it’s own footprint with an elegance I’ve never seen in any other printer.
It’s not the cheapest printer on the market, but it’s definitely the neatest form factor.
Printing for most part on a par with replaced Canon Pixmar (speed/quality). Noted that, when printing envelopes or card, the leading edge of paper tends to get smudged with ink.
Poor features: Need to keep output tray extended increases an already large footprint – difficult to stow on an extending computer desk shelf. Most annoying feature: at least on Windows 10, the printer’s software forces default to Cassette 1 when attempting to print envelopes, for no good reason. Had to Google this to find out this egregious feature and how to over-ride.
Usual complaints: cost of OEM inks – large capacity refills cost more than printer itself, although Epson’s own prices competitive with discount sellers. Finally not able to find a dedicated stand alone ink-jet printer so forced to buy a 3-in-1. Doubt I will use scanner as I already have a satisfactory, if ancient, Epson Perfection V100.
