The print quality is not too bad but I had to remortgage my house to afford the ink. I would recomend looking at printers with cheaper ink!

This Epson Stylus Photo RX500 is the first 3 in 1 Multifunction Printer, Scanner and Copier to have 6 inks, which I had been waiting for. This was to save room and to save the trouble of setting up each device. My priority was a good printer, which turned out to be brilliant. BUT here comes the crunch, you need to have a degree in computer studies to operate the stupid thing. It realy is difficult to operate. It seems to have a mind of its own. Printing on its own, printing on start up without any instructions. The controls on the front have no meaning. Pressing any of them has no effect. The LCD panel will not change what ever you do. I have managed to print a number of prints, but I can't use the same method each time. It is hit and miss. Instructions are useless. I have contacted Epson,but even they had trouble trying to instruct me. I asked them to send me the instructions they gave eventualy on the telephone, but they they did not have them in print or on the net or on any software.I could mention a number of faults, but enough said,you will have to make up your own mind. Should a printer be so difficult to use?
