    Prints too light no matter how much I try to work with settings. Too much money for the quality or lack thereof. It won't stay connected to my wifi for anything. It's beyond frustrating,

    It looked great, but printed like crap.. kept printing a ghosted image (almost like it was trying to recreat an old school double exposure pucture).. we tried multiple settings and paper, unistalled drivers and software and nothing fixed it.. so we returned it and got the 15000 instead

    The printer kept jamming and chewing the paper, and sometimes it didn’t pull it in at all. It also couldn’t print photos quickly as advertised. Very disappointing.

    The printer just stopped printing and when it do print i only get half the picture. I tried to bring it back after not even having it for 30 days and they said the time had expired to be able to bring it back or exchange it. Thry said it still has a warranty from epson but i have reached out to them a few times and no one has called me back!

    Why am I still trying to get this printer to work, I’ve purchased a new laptop, softwares on top of softwares, read each and every direction, looked up videos, purchased ink tanks, paper and all type of stuff, and it’s still not working. This is why I’ve taken so long to rate this printer. Run Run Run, don’t waste your money on this. I purchased this in March and it still doesn’t work!!!!

    It made it one day and it refuses to recognize that it has paper. They know this is a recurring common issue as they put troubleshooting steps on how to get it to recognize it has paper. I have a better idea how about Epson designs a printer correctly from the start? Awful printer do not recommend returning today.
