(From a letter to Epson)Dear Customer Service Representative,I recently purchased... from Cnet.com Ink heads dry out or clog constantly. The Bottom Line: Do not buy this printer unless you want headaches and want to waste your time. Epson has a problem and needs to do something about it. from Shopping.com I tried a CX5200 several years ago, the printer-only model. I had leaking ink problems when I... from Cnet.com

Pros: Great Picture quality

Cons: Once ink runs out printer no longer accepts new cartridges

This printer is great, if you like throwing out your printer after the ink runs out. This is my 4th one from Epson and I finally got a refund of my money. I started out with the CX4600, worked great until ink ran out, then printer prints like crap.

from Yahoo.com This printer broke before I could refill the ink. My sister had one and it did the same thing. I now have a Brother Laser All-in-one and the HP Photosmart 2700 and no problems. Epson quality is very poor. from Amazon.com I had a CX4600 before I was sent a CX4800, which was fortunately covered and replaced under warranty due to the clogging issue many people have covered. I like the print quality of Epson printers, but unfortunately that's overshadowed by poor printer design. from Amazon.com the scanner works really good...but if you do not use the printer for a while, it says you are out of ink and have to replace the cartridges...not a really good 'all-in-one'! from Amazon.com I've used it 400+ times to scan my artwork and other then washing out red tones, most color quirks are very easily fixed in photoshop. Moving on to my latest nightmare with this though is that it is currently broken. the EPSON help desk was very helpful in walking me through the issue, but it's mechanical. A small, long eraser was caught in the paper tray and caused a paper jam. from Amazon.com This is the second Epson all in one printer we've owned. We owned HP deskjets until purchasing our first Epson. from Amazon.com It was still printing very blackly, and we weren't using ANY colored ink, but suddenly the whole thing shuts down, and you can't print at all, because the "smart" chip has decided it's out of color. We couldn't print until we got new cartridges. I am really disappointed that a company like Epson would stoop so low as to purposely engineer a product that costs its customers money, time, and frustration, but that's exactly what it's looking like to me. Today we went and bought three color cartridges so that we could complete our _black and white print_ job, and now it won't print readably at all--just streaks. from Amazon.com
