First printer I’ve gotten in a long time… I’m very happy with the quality of pictures and regular printing. Set up was a little time consuming for it to align printer head… kept printing test sheets and I had to select which line looked best. Not difficult, but clunky… But hey, the pictures you can print with it are excellent quality! So I’d say it’s definitely worth it! The instructions for the paper trays (yes trayS, there’s two) was very poor, I felt like an idiot cause it took me about 5 minutes to figure it out… I’ll add a picture showing it, hopefully I can spare some readers unnecessary embarrassment. Having two trays is actually very convenient if you plan on using it for pictures! I leave plain paper in the lower tray and 4x6 picture paper in the upper. It’s great being able to wirelessly print from my phone, or computer! I’ve only used the collate function once, and it worked great! Also used it for manual scanning and the results were excellent! I did read several reviews complaining about the limited paper tray capacity… but for home use, I feel it’s more than adequate. I wouldn’t recommend it for an office printer that will be printing large quantities, as the main tray is on the small side, but I don’t consider that a “negative”, more just a nature of this model. Also, the upper tray will not fit full size paper, so if you plan on doing large pictures you need to use the lower tray. I do love the fact that the color inks are separate… and it even has two black cartridges(one for normal printing and one specifically for pictures). I did find it interesting that the out tray is powered… to close it you need to press the button on the control pad. Not a bad thing, just peculiar. Over all I love the printer and would definitely recommend it!

This is a great investment. Reasonably priced, uses a small footprint (space saver [the paper feed and exit trays do not hang over the back or side of the unit]), fast printing and scanning, good quality color prints and so easy to set up the wireless connection. I replaced my Epson 500 with this 7100 model because I accidentally snapped off (broke) the scan feeding tray and was having to do all my scanning on the glass plate one page at a time for that last 3 years. This one is great because I can put a small stack of statements in the feeder and it scans both sides faster than my old printer printed one page. Both the printing and scanning on my new 7100 are by far the fastest I've experienced. Printed colors are bright and sharp. Toner cartridges are very easy to install. My only Con is that when I try to scan a statement that is not your typical size paper (long and narrow), the printer thinks it jammed and won't pull it through to scan. I've tried adding the paper dimension but it still wouldn't take it. Also, the slider that holds the page(s) snug against the side of the scan paper tray only has about a half inch of adjustment. It's useless for pages narrower than 8" wide. Otherwise, I LOVE MY NEW PRINTER!
