    While the printer serves the basics an added feature would be to enlarge the prompts for copy, scan, etc. Copying is not intuitive.

    Jammed a lot. It was a nice idea, but just didn't print smoothly enough without trouble.

    I bought the cheaper versions of Epson printers in the past. Time after time, something would go wrong with the cheaper Epson printers. I would have to return the cheaper versions back to Best Buy. I decided to buy the more expensive printer from Best Buy. No problems at all. Sometimes you have to pay more, in order to get what you are looking for.

    It was not hard to install and it works. The ink levels are easy to see which is a plus. Looking forward to printing much before it needs refills.

    Worst ADF on the market

    Printer is good, flatbed scanner is good, ADF is terrible, which was unfortunately my primary need. Would not recommend. The fit and finish is incredibly cheap and gets jammed up on literally one, perfectly flat sheet of paper going through the ADF. My prior Canon w/ ADF was a rockstar. Going back- this is nowhere near a >$600 piece of equipment.

    I had this printer for 10 months. It worked great and then all the sudden it stopped printing images on paper. I like the eco-tank aspect of it but I don’t think it is worth it if the ink head doesn’t work after 10 months.
