Great Printer! I highly recommend.
I love my new printer. The printing has vibrant colors. It has never jammed with my cardstock paper. It is easy to setup and easy to use. I can print from any of the computers in the house and my phone as well. Of course the EcoTank is amazing. My previous Epson was an EcoTank as well, so I was already spoiled with that aspect of it. (My other Epson still works great, it just doesn't like cardstock). I've been making bookmarks and greeting cards. (That's what you can see in the picture.)

Good printer, beware of solid colors.
I am using this printer for my home business. It prints high quality on glossy photo paper. But when you print something that has a lot of detail on photo paper, make sure that the quality is set to "Glossy Photo Paper" so that way it will print on the "Best" setting automatically. Beware though when it comes to printing large solid colors for backgrounds on an image or something similar, the ink will appear a little patchy, uneven, and have tiny black dots. Also, the ink DOES LAST as advertised. I have printed about 50 colored pages and the ink has not moved. The printer is expensive but it does go on sale unexpectedly. I purchased mine near Black Friday and got it for around $500 out the door. Overall, I am very happy with this printer.
