The EPSON printer is neatly packed and was quickly set up, to be removed fuses are all clearly visible and easy to remove.
Software
+ The printer could be quick, convenient and easy to install (with us to Windows 7 in the Fritz-Box home network via Wi-Fi). The installation issues which have been mentioned in other reviews, were not at all on us. However, it took a bit for the printer on the wireless network has been detected - not quickly cancel the setup here!
+ Schön is that the program is the same even in Internet searches for more recent software, even if started from CD.
+ Schön is also included with the program "Easy Photo Print", this is handy for photo printing.
++ Genial is the integration into Google Cloud Print and AirPrint for Apple. Both worked right away and properly.
o The software sets (as it was then Canon unfortunately) at several different folders in the Start menu, instead of clean to sort everything into an Epson folder. At least start with all "Epson" at ...
- One can not choose the installation language to select, for example English, and automatically appears in our German version was linguistically bumpy in places and flawed - that should not allow such a well-known manufacturers. But you always understand what is meant.
Speed
++ The printer prints extremely fast over Wi-Fi, our Canon has taken significantly longer.
++ Is also very encouraging that starts the scan immediately and quickly transfers. That was painfully slow before Canon.
Noise
o He actually has a good vocal sound level, but just for us is more enjoyable when wireless printing - so you can hear that the pressure starts, even if you are not located in the room.
Operation + mechanism
o The menu on the machine's color display is easy, not as fancy as it was at the Canon with scroll wheel, but functional.
+ Highlight the positive Very large, stable paper tray is under the front unit - for us it was important because the printer is in a closet and so there is no room for an upright paper feed as with many other models. Even the paper is not so dusty. Too bad only that the slider to adjust the paper size can only be reached if one completely takes out the cassette.
+ Mechanical makes the device a very stable impression.
+ Multi-page PDFs are thanks to the paper feed easily buildable.
- Unfortunately, you can apparently only insert one sheet in the rear tray and photo paper (too small, at least the 10x15 does not appear when you select the rear paper tray in the program)
Print image
+ For all documents properly.
o The photo printing is less brilliant compared to the Canon, the picture is slightly pixelated. See for the casual pressure OK, only 40-50cm viewing distance from the photos, such as a deduction from the laboratory. When Canon always amazed everyone when you have conjured a photo so appeal to it for example in a greeting card - you see more contrast, that it comes from the inkjets.
Conclusion: Recommended, except the focus is on photo printing. Whether the consumables come cheaper, will be located zeigen- hope that he does not consume as much ink as the Canon by constant cleaning operations, which has a capacity of cartridges cost on occasion use - allegedly Epson here indeed be better. I'll update the review.
I would be glad if you could tell it, if this review was helpful to you! I have researched long for a suitable Printer successor. In the hope that it helps others, I entered the experience on our website, although we lack of time could not buy on Amazon but have brought directly in the office market. Printer
