" ...  Epson has always been the most difficult to change ink cartiridges. ... ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS SELL INK CARTRIDGES!  ...  "
comment
" ...  Generally good printer but it has an egregious policy with cartridges that does two things: ... (1) Needlessly drain color cartridges to print black & white ... (2) Stop you from printing ANYTHING if one of the cartridges THINKS is empty (despite not being empty).  ...  "
comment
" ...  The scanner never works when i need it, it uses up more ink than any printer i've ever owned.  ...  "
comment
" ...  will not work - requires new ink all the time - screen too small and badly placed  ...  "
comment
" ...  1, the ink box is too small and expensive. ... 2, What's more, the four colors, no matter which one is being detected low ink, you need to replace it, otherwise you cannot do any operations about it, even clean the ink head. ... 3, I just use it for less than one year, the ink head already blocked twice.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Runs out of ink quickly and won't let you print a black and white only document if you're out of any color ink.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Malfunctions all of the time, ink dries up and it does not let you print in black only. ... Printer is cheap, but ink is pricey and has to be replaced constantly.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Runs out of ink too quickly - even with ink in cartridge, does not print fully. ... Even tho I have full black ink cartridge installed, will not just print in B/W.  ...  "
