Ian, Haverfordwest
A very fine printer
The ink cartridges are incredibly expensive and it seems that Epson do not allow copies or refills. So you have to buy really expensive ink. Also you cannot recycle the ink cartridges. I presume this is because Epson do not want copies to be made so they make more money from the ink cartridges. I am very dissappointed in this and wish I had bought another printer now. The ink is just too expensive

After printing about 25 A4 sized photo's on photo glossy paper......On the second from top printer setting (Good)......The ink ran out.......And the ink for this printer is far to expensive.....

Design, Print quality, Value for money, good copier and printer
Cost of Ink, and rather noisy, at least noisier than my previous 2 Canon printers. Some direct print operations a bit confusing.

Very easy to set up and install software, very easy to use. Separate ink cartridges are reasonably priced. Everything worked first time with no conflicts. Relatively quick.
Paper feed tray a little upright so the paper tends to fall forward and creases it.

The product itself does what it claims very effectively and while I have yet to use all the photo print facilities it is a great improvement over my old printer.

Easy to use commands
Nightmare with ink cartridges, keeps telling me it doesn't recognise cartridge yet was working perfectly two minutes earlier. I use both Epson and top quality compatible cartridges. Change to another cartridge and all is well then problem comes back, put old cartridge back in and it works!

John, Stevenston, Ayrshire, “Honest and Practicle Person”
It is not bad for the price and Quality of the product,does what I need it for but it is the same old sinario about accesaries being a bit epensive ie. ink catridges. when you are using it as often I do.
Ink catridges a bit expensive

As an almost 80 year old I found this printer easy to use, and have been delighted with the quality of printing, especially for photographs. I like the way I am led through any procedures, such as changing cartridges.
Can't think of any.

1) Good quality prints.
1) Explosive noise at start of printing. 2) Heavy ink usage. 3) On line manual has no page numbers or proper index. 4) It is not clear between 'low' ink and 'totally empty'. (Or maybe I've never let it go that far.)

Good value for money printer.
Will only allow you to use true epson ink which is obviously very expensive. It just rejects any of the refilled cartridges and wont allow you to print until you buy epson ink. On one occasion it even rejected the epson ink as incompatible - took two goes until it accepted the ink as genuine.

All round great printer. Particually like the way it uses the other colours to make black when the black cartridge has run out. Excellent price, had no problems at all.
Can't really think of any.

Paul, South Wales
Great quality for a cheap all-in-one printer.
A bit noisey (will Epson ever understand why a quiet printer is more desireable than a noisey one?) Ink cartridges don't last long so don't buy genuine Epson ones, compats are much cheaper and just as good.

It works! my last had non stop paper jams. Easy to use, good instructions on the little screen nice colour results.

It maakes agood clear and neat print whem produicing a document. The coping of documents is also fairly fast. A good overall AiO printer.
Speed. the machine appears to be slow before it starts to print after the Print button is pressed. I do not think that it couldreach the printing sped qutes on the Web Site. It would appear to use inks in a strange way I hav enot yet rpinted very much in the form of colour rpinting , bit it is .showing that the levels of all inks is about the same But all in all a good machine better than the Kodak that also have

Very easy to use, excellent printing speed (well compared to what I was used to a snail would have been quicker!) and it was easy to get hold of some new ink cartridges.
Quite large but I guess that is to be expected with a 3-in-1 printer.
