    I print photos professionally and this printer has the worst print jobs. Wildly inconsistent. Spent lots of time troubleshooting because it seems everyone has a good time with it, but I cannot get this to work.

    WONT BE BUYING AGAIN! Purchased from Best Buy because my other one stopped working. Had problems with it straight out of the box. Best Buy wouldn’t return it and Epson helped nothing. Told me my ink tubes weren’t right even though they were already that color when purchased AND was told I already needed a new maintenance box right out of the box. Way too expensive to not be able to use.

    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.

    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,
