Prints very slow

Bulky printer that prints very slow. Where the paper feeds out, its hard to grab in between the printer and scanner unit. Not very happy with this purchase at the price I paid. Lots of ink though... on a positive note.

Crappy software

Software and printer pretty much sucks. Does not do multiscan without hanging up on feeder. Coming from Hp printers for years. Got this for its claim to save on ink cost. But the software is really setup for kids, like 10yrs behind in software technology . Not for professional use. Should have gone with and HP eco tank equivalent

Why such high reviews?

I was very hopeful this printer would work. First, the setup takes time and effort, took about a hour including downloading and installing epson suite to communicate with printer. The printer prints fine but the worst is the scanner. You need to load document, then click scan using your computer, then download the scan file into your computer. Too many steps. Scan at 200 dbi looks horrible. Tried at 1200dbi, scan looks fine, but takes 30 seconds per page. Is this for business? I don't know any business that has all the time to wait to scan a 20 page document.

Defective automatic document feeder

Brought one printer back because of a ADF paper jam message. No paper was found in the ADF, but kept getting the error message. I bought another one and the same thing happened. There is no paper caught in the ADF. The ADF in this model appears to be defective.

jammed paper, blank pages, ADF jams, etc.

This printer is not anywhere near the quality it should be for this price. We had purchased it for a small office and everyone hated it. It constantly jammed and once you solve the jam spits out blank pages over and over. Was able to return it thanks the store return policy but there was a lot of time wasted trying to get it to work. We switched back to a laser printer as we need something reliable….and this printer is not reliable.

The SLOWEST printer I have ever had!

By Far the SLOWEST printer I have ever had! Trying to print Real Estate flyer's could take all day!! I am not even sure what the purpose of a printer this slow could possibly be? Seriously, my first color printer back in the early 2000's was faster. This thing is ridiculously slow. I was shocked and deeply disappointed since Sam's Club seems to be phasing out the HPs. I liked the concept of the tank of ink but this is embarrassing and the paper tray keeps jamming. I have tried adjusting settings to 300/300 (the only options are printing at 300/300 or 600/600) and googling resolutions. Sadly it is a snail! It would burn up the energy saved in ink cartridges in the amount of energy used to stay on and print!

We love this printer

Yes, it makes some noise, yes it takes a few to set up, YES it prints very clearly, SAVES tons if coin, this one holds twice the paper in the tray than the one we flat wore out which is very nice. I Didn't even consider going with a cartridge ink jet or a toner headach laser. These things will print a case of paper then you just put more ink in. Alot like your car wanting gas. . The only negative I find at all is it works best if you can reach in from behind the printer to remove printed papers. If I grab them from the front they can get ummm rumpled. So, YES I would RECOMMEND and or buy this printer again. I will update if I see the need but if this printer is like the old one we had I probably won't be negative. Alex VO

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. Load 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 equivalant 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 availble, 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.
