no ink on paper

I had my college age son set this up - he never tested it - by the time I got around to needing it it didn’t work & it’s too late to return. Tried all the online fixes. Literally no ink at all on test sheets - goes through the motions- zip! Help!!! Too late to take back

Keep looking

Not impressed. I bought this a week ago to serve as a part time backup printer for those times I want to get some work done from the lake house. First, I want to say it does work as advertised. But there are at least 3 drawbacks I have already encountered. 1. The information screen is postage stamp tiny; unreadable without using reading glasses from 6" and an additional light source. 2. It can only copy 1 page at a time; If you have a 3 page document, you have to feed each page in separately. 3. It does not print two-sided. Again, it is a functional printer - but barely.

Faulty Printer

This printer will randomly ONLY print in black and white only, despite all color being completely full - no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes cycling the power on and off somehow resets it, and sometimes it doesn't. All my print settings say color, all the head cleaning and nozzle checks come out perfect, but then it prints in Black and white again. MADDENING. When it prints in BW, the image is pretty crisp. When printing in color, it's a bit fuzzy. All in all, I would not recommend this printer.

Worst printer I've ever owned

This printer does not print vibrant colors, it maxes out at a dull kind of washed out looking color. I've gone through all the troubleshooting and nothing fixes it. Any blue only gets to a medium-light color, no darker. I've owned cannon and HP printers before and never had an issue like this. Black print is fine but color is not.

Worst ever had

This is my third eco tank epson printer and had I purchased this one first it would have been my last. Five weeks old and has an error code saying the waste ink tank is full. Will not print when I need it. My last Epson I printed over 20,000 copies before it did this. This one has 1800 and now does not work. As for the tank of ink printing 30,000 pages ,only way that will happen is if you print one word on each page because in 1800 pages I have refilled every tank 3 times . They should also be forced to tell you that there is a limit to how many pages these printers are good for because each one has told me I reached max limit of pages I could print and none of them came close to the 30,000 they claim one tank of ink will do before they broke

Dont buy.

Wish Could Return, worst machine EVER, more time spent trying to get the chine to actually print than worth. Never works without restarting or reconfiguring. Print quality is great after the 215 minutes it takes to get the p o s to actually print from anything on a PC. Trying to airprint without the EPSON app does not work at all.

Easy setup, prints well

Ordering online was very easy and shipping was fast. I had no problem at all with the setup using the app. It connected easily to my networked phones and computer. Everything was very straightforward. Filling the ink was very simple and clean. A small amount of ink was left in each bottle but after it completed the priming function there was room to pour that in, so no waste or storing the bottles was required. I deducted one star because when I registered the printer, the warranty dates were way off. I contacted tech support, and after supplying them with all of the documents that they requested they said that the dates had been corrected in their system but it would not show correctly on my account page. That makes no sense to me but I had bought the extended warranty so they can fight it out if necessary. One other negative note is the control screen is very tiny (a little larger than a postage stamp) and very hard to read. Aside from the warranty weirdness, I love the printer and how efficient it is with print quality and ink usage. It also scans and copies very well.

What a piece of JUNK

Don't know where to begin. The printer has a very slow scanner, loses WIFI connection often and has a terrible paper feed design that allows the 8.5X11 paper to slide back in the tray while the cassette is being inserted. The lack of a touch screen and overly complicated menus are also a minus. I expected much better from EPSON. My experience has been so bad I'm going to re-install my decade old Canon printer and use it. This thing is going back to Sam's Club. I can't recommend this printer to anyone.

Verified Purchase

Don’t do it!

Very hard to set up. Tiny screen to try and navigate through setup. Don’t like that I can only scan one document at at time. Takes forever. I would not have purchased this printer if I knew these things prior to purchasing. My HP all in one, which I had for 12 years was a much better printer. I don’t care how much I save on the ink, it’s not worth it.

NO DOUBLE SIDE PRINTING!

I bought this printer because the ink allows me to print a large amount of pages, and being a homeschool parent l, we print a LOT. When it came time to print the curriculum there’s no option to print double sided pages. Had to scour the internet to find that it only supports manual duplex printing. So if you ever print double sided, I would not recommend this product!
