    This purchase of the Epson 3830 did not last long. The 800# staff provided assistance but could not determine why it no longer works. Per their instructions they said they would send a new machine but we are still without a working printer.

    You have to set print quality to high or you may see banding in large areas of the same volor. Sometimes the ink seems to bleed too much, but it could be from the paper.

    This is how printers should refill

    It took this long to figure out the best way to refill printer ink. I remember not too long ago I would sometimes opt to just buy a new printer instead of buying the overly expensive ink refills when it came time to replace print cartridges. That usually meant the old printer would go to the donation pile or be gifted to family or friend. It all seemed very wasteful to me because well, it was! I was very curious to see Epson's take on ink refills and now I see that this is the future. I was skeptical about handling the ink refills and pouring the refills in the printer. I thought for sure it was going to be messy. It wasn't. Not at all. It was very easy to do and while it takes longer to complete the initial setup (about 10 minutes), the result is very much worth it as you get about 7500 prints in black and white and 6000 prints of color until you need to spend another 10 minutes refilling the printer. The actual prints are so good I could easily mistake them for a laser print. You're going to have the best ink jet prints available. The prints do not smudge and the color prints are equally as impressive with a wide range of realistic colors. The phone app with this works very well while I feel the User Interface could use an update, it gets the job done. Scanning a document to email using WSD in Windows worked great and copying a photo was just as easy and yielded exceptional results. My only con is that the display screen is not a touchscreen. I found myself missing the ease of use that a touchscreen offers. My other printers all have touchscreens so its just something I missed. Not by any means a deal breaker. I love to compact size of this all in one printer and I think I've found my favorite printer. I recommend this for your home or office!
