I have needed to clean the heads often to keep from having many lines on my pictures. Pictures and text aren't very sharp either. Has been a reliable printer. Big downfall is that, after a while, the pages started printing crooked.
I instead threw their junk cartridges away and installed a Kyson [.]. 317-536-8127 -Guy Kyson's ink is far superior to Epson's and is formulated so perfectly that I have had no problems what so ever with printing. This little gem never clogs or messes up. I thoroughly tested the CIS units for over a year under all sorts of conditions and had no problems with their product and the prices are excellent.
Currently using two actively with fantastic results. It is designed to make them money with wasted ink with continual cleaning cycles every time it starts. CIS system (continuous ink system) on each system and I have been printing as much or as little as I want with no clogging or any other problems. They also carry replacement ink which I have also used and it is fantastic. Bought four of these direct from Epson over a year ago.
The secret is not to use Epson's crappy ink. I also use their system on an Epson R260 with even better results.
Phu Yuk. Now i have $80 dollars worth of useless ink. Then for no apparent reason it only printed magenta. My C84 was only slightly better. Sure the first week it printed fine.
Avoid epson like the plague. I literally banged it with my fist really hard and the streaking lessoned - even after putting in brand new cartridges. If you don't print with it everyday, the jets clog up. What a piece of junk. I was getting streaking galore the night before an important presentation.
Great.
I just read all comments on this page, and I agree with all negative comments.I went through 2 Epson printers this year, and I run a business at home.I agree, the ink goes like crazy, and then, if for some reason, you didn't placethe paper correctly, it is simply the end. I just went crazy with the two machines.
Easy to hook up, love the printer and quality of print. Color is great but is does us the black ink very quickly -- but I still would have bought this one -- love it.
