Basically the printer for a device of this price range does not work bad - as long as one is willing to pay the exorbitant prices for the original cartridges .... If you switch to third-party (which in cartridges cost up to less than 20% is natural), the printer refuses to work: While the ink level (short) is displayed correctly, but there are (despite any claims made by the third cartridge provider) recognized foreign cartridges and afterwards for cartridge replacement. prompted or the printer simply shuts down completely. After several versions / Clean it works then a short time - and then get out again. Although one can understand the Epson programming from their perspective - (!) With so impudent prices for replacement cartridges, not as much better quality will be my next printer (to date 6 devices) no more ... Epson!
