The printer looks very elegant and is relatively small. The material quality is ok; I have the impression that the plastic parts will keep for several years. The photo printing is done with very good quality. The other print images are good. I particularly like the open design, so I very good insight into the printer have to lift the scanner unit and leave the ink cartridges to exchange very well. The invention described in the negative reviews cumbersome shaking procedure for black ink is required not only in the accompanying setup ink but with each refill. Lack also described in the negative reviews that the printer after a short time a normal black (there is a photo black) print more, occurred even with my printer. Since the indicated ink level of the setup cartridge was already very low, I have a new ink cartridge used, which is not original ESPON. The printer explained to me on his display that that's not good, if I do not take any Epson ink and warned me of the consequences. Black, he has still not printed. I bought because an original ink Epson and see, instead of long talks launched an ink activation procedure at the end of the printer again was black print. Too bad that this is not also other trusts Epson ink manufacturers. The return on Amazon has certainly done so and I'll I probably only buy original ink future. Therefore, there is only 3 stars.
