Garbage 7 Jan 2010
By Fisher
Worked fine at first, then after a few jobs it informed me that the black cartridge I had installed was not compatible, despite being the cartridge that came with it in the packaging. I replaced the cartridge, only to see the message reappear a few weeks later. I had installed the correct cartridge, but the printer was having none of it. I informed Epson and they told me that it might be the cartridge, despite it having now happened twice. I agreed to send them the cartridge, only to be informed by my increasingly vindictive printer that now the yellow and blue cartridges were not 'recognised' or 'compatible. Despite being the ones that came with it. Despite having worked fine up until now. Either my printer has become sentient and is an arsehole, or the thing is utter gash. Avoid.

S21 Printer 19 Nov 2009
By DES
Like everyone else I put in hours of research before buying this printer. It was not my first choice, by far. However when I calculated the price of ink replacements I was "pushed" in this direction. I actualy had a cheap Epson Stylus previously and the ink costs were low on that. But it gave up on me after a good many years.

Got it eventualy from Epson direct at same price but with cheap ink and paper deal. Good delivery. But I believe Amazon deserve this review as it was their reviews that I spent hours over and normaly I would buy from here.

As for the printer...... I would probably say it just about does what it should do. It has a VERY cheap and lightweight feel about it. I somehow don't believe that a printer gains any quality by being lighter !
2 pathetic little buttons on the top is about it in the way of controls. VERY noisy at all stages of startup through printing to powering off. VERY slow start-up and very slow printing of ordinary documents (don't know where they get the print speeds from) Paper trays cheap and cheerful.
Print quality is OK, but no expert at quantifying it. Works for me.

Ink replacement is probably going to be fairly inexpensive as long as it takes non Epson. Of course no USB cable as seems the norm. Also it's standard USB one end and a reduced size the other.
Haven't tried photo printing yet. I know it will be expensive compared to getting them done on one of those machines in supermarkets etc. Might also be quicker going into town !

To sum up... I'm not going to give the standard response ("don't touch it !") because it's probably OK for me in a light usage home use, but if you are not put off by ink costs on other printers then go for them.

Broke after 10 days 15 Feb 2010
I bought this to replace an old HP710 as I wanted a basic printer without scanner. It worked initially though was very noisy but after 10 days the black cartridge stopped being recognised which stops the machine completely. I couldn't fix it despite following all the instructions. Have now returned it using Amazon's excellent return process and will now buy a Canon or HP machine in disgust.

Cheap is not value if it is constantly broken
It's cheap but not cheerful. Any savings made are offset by the printer deciding that full Epson cartridges are not genuine products and declining to print. Read more

Excellent basic printer
This printer will not "half print" a page, before letting you know more ink is needed - a real saver.
