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.)

Phenomenal
This is the best printer we have ever had. The color is so vibrant. We had a top of the line printer that had been discontinued and it died so we replaced it with this one and the vibrancy is levels higher with this one! I’d buy it again any day of the week! Easy to use, goes easy on the ink even when you’re goin hard.
