Excellent print quality,

Ink runs out quickly, tried to use compatables but get error message,"incompatable cartridge", originals too expensive. Anybody want to buy a printer that will cost £30 month to use?

Epson quality at an affordable price.. Needed a printer to print service CD / DVD and this one does a good job

As always.. costs of original brand replacement inks

Very good colour saturation, it picked up all the hues in my sunset pictures very well indeed...but you do need to use Epson paper!

None that I have found as yet apart from if you need to print a picture, it can take a few minutes, but hey, thats the price you need to be willing pay for the finished result, which is excellent.

A really good all round printer. Print quality is excellent. Printing is very fast for an inkjet.

Ink is expensive, even with the separate tanks. Plus it never uses the whole tank, thanks to the chips fitted to each cartridge.

Excellent print quality especially photo prints. Also prints directly on CD's/ DVD's. Fast when it has finished primeing the cartridges.Genuine cartriges are not overly expensive.

Alan, Chorley Lancs, “over 65. print lots”

Works ine with Windows Vista, and even though I had read that the status monitor wouldn't work, it works perfectly fine.

I have no complaints about this printer, and consider it to be excellent value for money.

A really fast printer, quality is good. The CD/DVD printer feature is way above of quality to what I was expecting. Does work with Epson compatible printer cartridges so you can keep the cost down if you print a lot.

Though had a bit of a fight to get the printer working initally. The lack of a card reader is a slight let down, as you`ll need a computer to print those precious memories.

It is an improvement on my old Stylus photo (10 years) and the price was unbelievable.

CD template and print cartridges backwards compatible with earlier models. Good set of utilities supplied on disc and easy install

Takes up a fair amount of desk space. CD printing a bit slow.

The photo quality is very good plus it will allow me to print directly onto CD/DVD when I've used up my stock of the non-pribtable type that is.

Haven't found any YET.
