Love this printer!

Love this printer! Good print quality, even on plain paper. Rated speed is 17 ppm black and 9.5 ppm color. Real life print speed is close to rated speed. Scanning speed is also very quick. Copies are very quick and have excellent quality. Ink replenishment is quick and easy. The EcoTank bottlles are $50 for a set of 4 and provide 6 months of typical use. This makes printing very economical. Loading the ink was quick and easy. Just dump the liquid ink into the reservoir. Having a large bottle instead of small cartridge does introduce a bit more risk of spillage, but the design of the bottles mitigates spillage. ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: This $600 printer is probably twice the price of an equivalent printer that requires Epson-proprietary ink cartridges. However, the saving over a year of buying expensive cartridges more than justifies the increased cost of the printer. IMHO, paying more for the printer but paying a fair price for inexpensive ink is also a more honest arrangement. LINUX Wireless and wired networking is available, as is USB. After connecting to the network or computer, scanning is easy. I use VueScan, but "Epson Scan 2" is available from Epson for free. Like other Epson printers, printing can be difficult to configure. Although Ubuntu detects the printer, printing fails with the automatic setup. Instead, choose "Manual URI" and type "lpd://EPSONFBD131/BINARY_P1" for the connection. After that, proceed as usual.

Great Printer

Great printer. With the Epson app it was easy to set up. Printing is great and the scanner works perfectly. Recommend highly especially for home office employees that need to print and scan and copy.

GREAT BUY

We have the base model Eco Tank and have loved it - inexpensive to operate with ink not needing to be added for 6-9 months. When the 5180 went on sale it was a no brainer. It holds 200 sheets of paper and you can load multiple pages to copy, something you can't do with the base model.

This printer is a dream for the business.

Can't get enough of the high quality printing. We print a ton of signs and coupons for our business and it is fantastic.

Mehh

Had a less expensive version of the Ecco-tank. It performed better. This one wrinkles pages and bends corners randomly.

not happy

I am sure that this printer would be top notch except for the fact that it is broken.

Constant jams

After about 200 pages, of double siding, it would jam. Took it back, got another one, same thing happened.
