Great functionality with misserabler cartridge support

I bought this printer to replace a HP Photosmart C6180, although it still works well but unfortunately has no duplex. Actually, I have been setting a cross on Epson printers, but now the range of functions at a very compact size and price action have me but can be weak.

I shall not go into the various functions that I have not yet all been tested, but the ones I've used, provided very good results. Here I use the printing of text and graphics (no pictures, because that no printer is low enough), copying, scanning. No Fax, cloud and online capabilities previously used. The installation on Win 7 64-bit and connection as a network printer via FritzBox ran flawlessly. A firmware update was also carried out. Duplex function is expected to be slower than in the big printers but still sufficient.

Now to my main problem that lies just by luck solve: ink cartridges.
I've been using for over 15 years only replica cartridges. Until the XP-810 with no significant problems. That the originals cost a fortune, each is known. So I have the first exchange which I knew well from Digital Revolution cartridges or InkSwiss used that have been found next to Peach cartridges also by Stiftung Warentest as well. After a few weeks had overnight missing lines in the black text phrase recognizable. So Nozzle Check -> nozzle cleaning -> nozzle check. Suddenly other replica cartridges had faulty lines. That was too sudden to me. Cleaned again. After a total of 3 cleaning procedures were all of the included original cartridges empty !! Yellow was last off and it was the icing on the cake: yellow replica cartridge is detected in any case. So I went to the local dealer and bought the yellow and black of Epson. Home used - it comes back everything, even the missing lines were in these cartridges right back. That makes a thoughtful yet, right? So I ordered Peach cartridges for the future. When they were delivered, I have all three colors used because the original yellow after further purification experiments were also quickly empty. Peach Yellow was also not detected !!! And the XP-810 is a real ink eater when it comes to the nozzle cleaning. After only 4 passages the Epson cartridge was empty!
Before I finally wrote off the printer and hired on eBay because it was not so defective and apparently ran flawlessly with Epson cartridges, I still went to refill local specialists. The knew the problem with the current printer series already propagated for firmware updates and mainly with the yellow cartridge. He had fortunately a yellow cartridge of another manufacturer because that was immediately recognized and worked.
Now, the printer is on probation in operation. But if he had problems with the replicas of the upper price range makes, but he ends up on eBay.

My Conclusion:
Functionality very top, quality of prints and the casing - let's see how long this extendable receiver unit by holding.
Piano black finish is nothing new. Those who can not stand, the printer should not just buy. Devalue him for the design, if one knows what to expect one, is really fussy for my understanding and even ridiculous.
Ink consumption when printing is fine.
Ink consumption when cleaning is deficient.
Dealing with the ink of the third party is marginal. I had no luck with the yellow cartridge, I would have been rid of the printer. For those interested: the model name of my cartridge is "D & C-T02634". Are there any on Amazon as a set with all the necessary cartridges, which is marketed by ESMOnline. There are blue boxes of tropical fish on it.

Because of the last two points I draw from two stars. Otherwise it would all fünf.Epson Expression Premium XP-810 4-in-1 multifunction device (copier, scanner, printer, fax, WiFi)
