“Known problem not reacted to”

★★★☆☆

written by on 27/11/2011

I bought my rx600 because I liked all of the options. I especially liked being able to do prints from slides. When I first got my printer, it was great. Picture quality was excellent. As time has gone on, the quality has gotten less and less. Even cleaning the print heads has not helped. I do not use this printer everyday due to the cost of the ink cartridges. I recently went to use it and I have the red exclamation light on and the lcd is blank. While trying to get help with this, I have begun researching. To my amazement, this lcd thing is not a new problem and apparently Epson is very well aware of it. I have read that it can cost around $166. to get this part replaced. Seems I will be replacing my printer and am not sure if I will stay with Epson or look at the competitors. I will research them out to see if there are existing issues as Epson has with the lcd on their printers.

written by Tictac on 01/12/2008

Some posts about ink useage, dodgy screens and drip pads - would recommend continuous inking system if a regular user. Otherwise use a chip-resetter for draining the unused third of the cartridge. The 'pad' issue, had it with another Epson and ended using a bit of cheap software to fool the printer it was ok[which it was anyway!] Screen - haven't had any problems so far and run for a couple of years now.
Would buy another one.

“The quality of printing on the RX600 was good as was...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 12/11/2008

The quality of printing on the RX600 was good as was the ease of replacing color cartridges. Color cartridges could be replaced individually. Epson chould have made it possible for the consumer to replace the ink pads if they knew they were going to fail after such a relative short life. My next printer will not be an Epson.

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 24/09/2008

Worked for a little while, when I first used it. Which wasn't much and then the warrenty ran out... The Epson RX600 uses a lot of ink and I think it also drys up quick. The reference manual is unhelpful I find. The error message is it is out of ink with a full ink cartridge. It cost a lot of money for how it worked and for what I got out of it I would have been money ahead by paying someone else to do my printing. Therefore I do not recommend this Epson all in one printer.

“My Epson RX600 is a high quality printer. LCD Screen...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 15/01/2008

My Epson RX600 is a high quality printer. LCD Screen has gone bad in my printer. Luckily, there is a DIY fix for this problem. Now that my printer is working properly I will not replace it, but if I had known that the screen would stop working, I would not have purchased it.

“I have owned an TRX600 for three years. Initial cost...”

★★★★☆

written by danrdk on 13/11/2007

I have owned an TRX600 for three years. Initial cost was laughably high compared with today's prices. I will be supplementing it with an R1400 A3+ printer with Caria inks. The RX600 replaced an HP RJ45 all-in-one that died. I have not used some of the standalone functions where you can print from memory cards (one OK test though).

“I, like everyone else here, was happy until the LCD died. ”

★★★★☆

written by rtnanca on 06/03/2007

I, like everyone else here, was happy until the LCD died.
My Epson Stylus Photo RX600's screen went dark after a little over 13 months of light usage. At first, I thought it was a loose wire, but it appears that the Epson Stylus Photo RX600 is notorious for the LCD screen burning out after so. Epson Website, they list 3 parts dealers for the LCD screen replacement. Non-authorized shops either don't fix Epson's or told me the cost of repair wasn't worth it. Searching the internet and I founded EPSON RX600 TFT FIX on ebay Item number: 130087153643" I got it and with my friend who is more technical than me (I'm a girl) we got the printer back to life in less than 20 minutes. It's that not assome, I got my photo printer worked again for only $7.99

“I bought this printer about 18 months ago after...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by nickthevic on 20/07/2006

I bought this printer about 18 months ago after reading up all the blurb about specifications etc. and after recommendations from several friends that epson was a good make. To be fair, it did all the things it should do initially, but two weeks after the warranty ran out (i.e. just over 12 months), the lcd display stopped working. Having contacted epson, they would only suggest taking it to the nearest epson agent (100 miles away from where I live) who would charge around a third of what I paid for the printer just in to inspect it!
As the printer was still working, although now no use as a stand-alone device, I have continued to use it for the past 6 months, but last week it just stopped printing, and an error message appeared on screen saying parts inside the printer have passed their servicable life and to contact a service agent. The printer is now useless. Needless to say I am now going to throw out the printer, and buy anything but an epson next time!

I agree with all the downsides reviewed here. The LCD display is a universal fault. How can everyone's LCD display stop working after a short time? Is this a built-in obsolescence ploy by Epson? The cost of the cartridges is high, and the the RX600 multifunction printer is damn thirsty. There are some plus sides: good quality of printing, ease of set up and ease of use etc. But overall, the machine is less than average.

“Three months after I bought this Epson RX600 unit,...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ScottHann on 02/06/2006

Three months after I bought this Epson RX600 unit, which by the way isn't an "All-in-One" don't buy it if you need to fax anything. The LCD screen died. If you look at other reviews you will see this is a common problem. Rather than replace it with a new unit, Epson sent me a refurbished machine. I'm getting someone else's headache. Why else would a brand new machine need to be refurbished? A year-and-a-half later, I get an error message common to other users: parts inside need replacement. More specifically, the porous pads need to be replaced. After driving more than an hour to my nearest Epson center I'm told that the parts alone will cost $156.00, not including labor. So I try to contact Epson. Emails to their "Customer Relations" go unanswered. When I call I'm told that they can extend the warranty for 30-45 days beyond the original warranty. What an insult! My machine is 1 1/2 years old and beyond their 1 year warranty. What good is an additional 30-45 days? It will still be out of warranty! You can see the amount of faith this company has in their own product. It is also rumored that Epson designs this and other machines in such a way that when 15% of the ink is remaining you are told the machine is out of ink. And, as another Epson victim pointed out, when just one of the 6 expensive cartridges are out of ink you cannot print until it is replaced. Needless to say, a class action lawsuit has been filed against Epson. I have joined this lawsuit and encourage others to do the same. Would you want to buy a product from a company being sued by consumers? Don't take my word for it, do your own research on the Internet. See what others are saying about its reliability. Read the other reviews on this website. Of the customers who gave this machine 4 or 5 stars a year or two ago ask yourself if their machines are still working error-free while the rest of have had mechanical failures within the first few months. There are less expensive and more reliable printers out there. Do your own research and learn from our mistakes. Not yours.

“As an all in one this Epson RX600 is more of a printer...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by yodadatoka on 22/05/2006

As an all in one this Epson RX600 is more of a printer with bits added to it and a fancy new display screen to allow it to act an "All-in-one" "all-on-it's-own" ie independant of a PC.

Don't go anywhere near it. I fell for the good reviews back in Dec 2004. I'll admit I was happy with it until the screen went the other day. Believe me I'm not the only one to be hit by this. It ain't just a bad batch, this is just cheap part selection.

We need laws which protect the environment from the throw away society in which we live in. Parts for these devices should be readily available to those who don't want to pay £100+ for repair.

I mean c'mon you want to charge me £70 to tell me that the LCD is dead, I can see that for my own eyes! Let me just buy the screen for £25 and fit it myself!

One year on and loads of emails to Epson and I'm still not able to print. I am going to throw this piece of junk away and buy anything other than Epson! Stay away from this printer!

“I bought an Epson RX600 multifunction printer in...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by CHINGS on 30/11/2005

I bought an Epson RX600 multifunction printer in August 2004 as it had an attractive look and good review/testing reports.

Firstly, the ink disappeared so quickly, even when you do not print, they dry quickly. Assuming you do no printing at all, your ink would completely run out within three months, and the cartridges are expensive (the wholesale price of the whole set of 6 cartridges costs about $60.00 in Costco or Sams Club).

The next problem is the slow speed. If you wait half a minute and the printer seems sleepy and you click to print one more time, then it would cause a jam in the software and the printer would be locked. To rectify this problem, you have to go to the Control Panel of your computer and click on the printer and delete all the print jobs one by one before the printer can function again.

The fatal problem was that the LCD had gone completely about one month ago (just over one year since the date of purchase). As the warranty is only good for one year, Epson suggested that I contact one of their authorized repair shops. This morning, I finally got a reply from one of their 'contractors'. It was surprisingly expensive. Only the part (the LCD) would cost $170.00.

Any testing results recommending the purchase of this Epson model are as fake as those recommendations made by those 'artificial' car magazines these days.

My LCD screen also has gone blank. I have had the printer 13 months. Bought in 01/03/05. Apparently this model has some kind of defect, and Epson is unwilling to acknowledge it.

“I bought the Epson RX600 multifunction printer mostly...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by jerryroy on 21/11/2005

I bought the Epson RX600 multifunction printer mostly for printing pictures. I compared the print quality to my HP 750 and HP 7350. The pictures from the Epson were clearer and brighter. It took longer to print, but I was looking for quality.

Unfortunately the quality did not last. I now get 3 streaks from top to bottom of the paper. The streaks are usually on the back but not always. When I got streaks, I would clean the inside and re-print. As time went on the problem only got worse. Because of this problem you could not take the chance of printing multiple copies. We were trying to create our own double sided cards. The first side may be good, only to be destroyed when you print the back side.

I defiantly would NOT recommend this printer to anyone.

written by brew1 on 13/10/2005

The Epson RX600 LCD screen has history of breaking down from 6 to 10 months after purchase, if you have one that functions after one year of use then perhaps you never plugged it in.

Written on: 07/12/2005

I have had an Epson RX600 multifunction printer for 12 months and 2 weeks, and guess what? The LCD screen went blank yesterday, and the warranty has now run out! Just my luck! I had read several reviews last year prior to purchasing this machine, and it seemed a good product. Although it has worked well up until yesterday, it is now virtually useless as the on screen controls for all the settings cannot be seen. Having read several reports today about the same fault occurring with different people, I feel Epson should do something to compensate me for repairs - their repair centre have quoted £70 to inspect the machine and a further £40 to replace the LCD display. I will not buy another Epson!

☆☆☆☆☆

written by jshealy on 18/07/2005

Went to Best Buy to purchase a HP Photo printer, the Epson Rep. was there and talked me into purchasing a RX600. It even came with a rebate, stated the Rep. Filled out the rebate and sent it in. Only to find that it didn't have one. Epson issued coupons to purchase something from the Epson store, to replace the rebate. I ordered printer cartridges for the Photo Printer. NEVER RECEIVED THEM! Purchased cartridges installed them and the printer went DEAD! Called Epson and spoke with an Epson Rep. regarding the problem. He told me he needed proof of purchase. Got it, called back, finally they agreed to send me a new printer the NEXT DAY. However, they did need my charge card, but assured me there WOULD NOT be any charge to my card. I checked my account only to find that they had charged my account $269.99. Called, and the Epson Rep. was very rude and assured me there was no charge to my credit card. However, I was looking at my account online and could clearly see the charge being deducted from my account.
I would never recommend to ANYONE to purchase an Epson printer, or any other Epson product. The service is poor and they do not do what they say.

Read comments from jshealy and Karens1 and only say that I have had the printer for 10 months and during that time it has performed exceptionally well with no problems at all.

Written on: 18/07/2005

I purchased a RX600 printer in June of 2004. I have had nothing but problems since the purchase. To begin with the Epson sales Rep. was in Best Buy the day I made the purchase. I was undecided between HP (which I have had excellent results with) or the Epson which was shown to me by the Epson Rep. The Rep. stated there was a rebate with the printer. He gave me the rebate forms to send in. When sent in there was no rebate. Called Epson, they sent certificates to purchase something from the Epson store. Purchased Ink for the printer, in which I never received. I purchased Ink cartridges and installed them. Turned the printer back on and it would not come on DEAD! Called once again, they finally agreed to ship a new printer the next day, but needed my credit card number to ensure that I would be shipping the other printer back. I asked the customer service gentlemen, if he was sure that there would be no charges to this card and he reassured me that there would not be. I checked my bank account and they had charged the card $269.99. I called customer service right away only to find that the customer service would say that they had not charged my card. But I was looking at my account and could clearly see they had. Today is the fouth day, and I have not received the NEXT DAY printer yet.
<br>
<br>I will not advise ANYONE to purchase from Epson. Their RX600 has real problems. As well as their so called CUSTOMER SERVICE!
