[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this Epson Printer for my honest review.
Printers seem to *feel* more cheaply made as time goes on, BUT who'm I to say lighter and thinner is cheaper? 🤷🏽♀️ ANYWAY, on to the important factors...
* It is not overly heavy OR bulky (I'm 60 and not in great shape and I carried it with no struggle)
* Has a smaller footprint, so doesn't require a large space, especially for a do-it-all printer!
* After taking it from the box and plastic, you have to find and remove all the blue stabilizing tape from the printer.
* After you power it on, it asks if you'd rather set it up using your tablet or phone instead of the small printer screen. (I used my phone)
* It has you go thru simple steps to set up the printer, then to infuse (best word to describe it IMO) the 4 inks into the ink ports. It's truly simple, and NO MESS. Then it does an ink initialization which takes around 10-11 minutes. While that's going on, it takes you thru the steps to connect to your wifi. (Don't tap 'done' until the initialization is also complete. I did, it read on the app as an error, but I was able to just complete the set up on the printer screen.)
* I used a colorful magazine cover in the scanner, told it to copy it in color, at 47%, on standard paper, at standard quality. Check out the photo! I'm IMPRESSED how accurate the color came out, and it printed FAST!
* I then used the feeder to copy a document in B&W. The print came out crisp and beautiful. and again, it spit it out instantly. (The speeds I've only seen with our laser printer!)
All I can say is, so far, I have not a single complaint, and am completely IMPRESSED by this printer. Great job, Epson! ❤️
