I bought it in Dec 2008. I had it repaired (under guarantee) in Dec 2009 because the scanner was gone (recognized defect by Epson). in Dec 2010 the machine started to reject the original cartridges as "spent" or "not compatible". I always used 100% original ink, from authorized retailers. As i moved to Thailand Epson is unable to provide any repair service. very disappointed!!! between original ink and printer I spent >100 EUR for about 200 pages of printing!!!

Absolute waste of money.
Very loud. Takes ages to startup. Worst thing is it drinks ink, will not print at all if any cartridge is deemed to be empty and wont print in black if any of the colour cartridges are empty. Its going to be thrown from a great height. Do not buy. Its put me completely off Epson.

Cartridges last no time at all. I thought it would be cheaper to buy Epson because their cartridges are cheap but if this thing is anything to go by they're cheap for a reason - there's no ink in them! I've only used genuine Epson cartridges. Plus you have to buy all the cartridges and keep them all topped up in order to print even in black. Scanner is fine and the print quality is OK but certainly no savings to be had buying this printer. My old printer used to have £20-£30 cartridges but you put them in and forgot about it for an age. I'm changing the cartridges monthly and don't print much.

This printer is going in the bin. Yes - I've been using compatible cartridges, but even so the printer needs "head cleaning" after printing only two pages.
The scanner works well, but as a printer it's a total waste of money. Don't buy it.

Wery slow and loud, can't print black when the other colours is empty!!
Very very bad purchase!!
