Epsion 3950 EcoTank AIO Color Inkjet Printer
This home office all-in-one HP-3950 inkjet printer offers very easy setup (including wireless networking), fast 2-sided Color/BW printing, quiet and smooth operation, and print jobs that look excellent! Tray storage of 250 pages means less refill time...Nice! Filling the 4-color ink tanks with the included ink bottles couldn't be easier!! Due to "no cartridges", at a 6000 page print count this refillable ink tank cost will be 95% Less than my previous color laser jet printer cartridge consumption, AMAZING!!

Excellent workhorse printer
My wife, who is a teacher, and our family, which has four middle/high school/college-aged kids, burn through ink and paper regularly. We got this printer after some research in the hopes we could print faster, be more ink efficient, and still do all the projects and things we want.I was delighted at the setup (it's a good use of mixed documentation and AI-assisted configuration help). The physical assembly was simple, and it just worked with our computers, tablets, and phones out of the box. The ink system promises to be very cost-effective, and all the printing, scanning, and all-in-one functions make this great so far. My wife was delighted at the speed and 2-sided printing abilities, and so far we've had a really good experience.

Solid printer but occasionally jam on thick paper
We bought it to print our restaurant’s seasonal menus, and it’s been great, efficient, high-quality color, and a solid value. We finally feel comfortable printing in color without having to “count the beans” and tightly control ink use. I also really like that the feed tray and output tray both automatically fold in when not in use, it helps keep dust and other pollutants from getting inside. One small pet peeve: when printing checks, thicker paper can jam if you load too many at once, so we only feed a few blank checks at a time.
