Positive:
- The print quality is fine. The lyrics come out sharp, the colors in graphics are very nice and bright, class in the way.
- Photo quality is fine if you use original Epson Photo Paper. Then it's comparable to the photo service of Aldi, DM, and the likes. With Papers of foreign manufacturers, the results are a disaster.
- To my knowledge there is one of the best printers in the market.
Negatives:
- Volume: This thing is incredibly loud. I have a paper shredder next to the desk, but the operation of the printer is louder - the first print I am even scared and thought there would be something broken, but no - this is normal for this device.
- Speed: The printer is lame. Only when printing in Enwurf mode (ie minimum quality) he comes to scarce 14 pages / minute. the specified 28 pages / minute, he never reached me! not even with pure black text. If you compare the quality high, the speed oscillates somewhere 5-8 pages per minute. really bad!
- Titenverbrauch: It took less than 4 weeks, since I had to buy new cartridges. He had not even 100 pages managed with the supplied. Was only printed text + graphics. I was shocked when I saw that the set original cartridges cost more than the whole printer! No-name cartridges, there is not at this time unfortunately. With new cartridges, the printer managed but also just over 100 pages, it was again the end. The second and last time I then Patrnonen bought to try the photo function. after 20 Photos was closing. Then I ask myself seriously what you want ... even if the quality is okay, I emfpinde it as cheating when after only 20 photos a fresh set of cartridges is empty! That is simply not acceptable! My old Canon iP4300 managed loosely over 100 photos, and because the cartridges were just as expensive! Now the thing is empty again, after only a few weeks of operation, and I have no desire to have to buy new cartridges again.
- Refilling cartridges impossible: I wanted the cartridge refill, because it would be much cheaper than buying new, but unfortunately that does not work, because the cartridges have a chip. It does not matter how much ink is in it, it can not continue to print a simple, if the software "cartridge empty". That you can not handle or off, as is Canon also. nor a minus point.
Conclusion:
Printer is unusable in my eyes and a pure sham! Ink cartridges are very expensive and after a few pages blank. Refill for the chip impossible. The technical data are not, or are not achieved. In conclusion, I say only one thing: NEVER AGAIN Epson!
