Ink Hog, Cannot Print If one color is Removed [Posted on 2006-03-11]
Great print, good functionality, EXCEPT I get the feeling that the product is designed to create dependency on ink. I have had other printers print as well, yet did not hog ink and they allowed me to continue printing in emergency situations if one of the color ink cartridges ran out. If one cartridge goes out the printer will not allow printing. Even if I am printing black text it will not allow me when the yellow cartridge is gone. I have spent more than six times the cost in ink than the printer itself in less than two years. They have a great product that helps the manufacture obtain their designs, increase ink sales.
Very disappointed [Posted on 2006-05-14]
I bought this printer just over 2 year ago. Within 1 year it stopped printing completely. Epson said perhaps the ink was bad, so i bought new set of ink and it did not help. Luckily it was under warranty so they replaced it.
Within another year, it works only sometimes. If i do not print for 2-3 week, it .just does not print. I have gone through so many head cleaning - sometimes after 6-7 time (lots of ink wasted) it would function. So I would think it is ok - buy anothers set of ink and go through this every month! I have finally come to my sense, this is just a crappy printer. I ma going to take this printer in my back yard and take a sledge hammer to it.
Will never buy Epson again!
Worse printer you can buy! [Posted on 2007-01-20]
I wouldn't even give this printer one star if the option was there. I just bought all new cartridges and have used half of them trying to get it to print. Have run dozens of head cleaners and still nothing. I don't feel too bad about the printer cause I got it fairly cheap but I'm upset over the expense of my cartridges. My suggestion to anyone looking at these....stay as far away as you can....buy a printer that has the printhead in the ink cartridge...at least then all you are out is the price of one cartridge, not the whole printer....I'm going back to my faithful HP's or just might give the Canon's a shot.
Color me clogged! [Posted on 2007-06-07]
So glad I checked this site. I thought it was just my machine. I had a fabulous Epson printer that I had for approx 5 or so years. It finally started to die on me. The sales person said this was the comparible printer, so I took it home. I used this printer for approx. 6 months before the issues started. Ink was blotchy, so I switched to 3rd party ink-with the sponge on a relative's suggestion. However, after 2 weeks, then it didn't work at all. I thought it was because I bought 3rd party ink. Nope, this printer is just a waste of time. I always turned it off unless printing, switched all ink out at once and still it died. I used to swear by Epson. Now, I am considering Cannon. I just don't know. I just want to print text work from home and the occasional picture. Doesn't anyone make a decent printer any more?
WASTE OF MONEY [Posted on 2007-08-28]
Horrible product. I bought this printer through my university four years ago. Broke down last year, and I am still trying to fix it. Total waste of money. Total Waste of Ink Cartridges.
Now I am considering buying the three in one Hp or Canon printers. Ironic thing is that I will probably pay the same price I did for those new fancy printers.
Epson really did a bad job with this.
