I did NOT get rid of headaches: I DID get non-stop troubleshooting, more expensive ink cartridges that dry up even if you don't use them (and are also proprietary military technology that cannot be replicated or substituted

What I did note was that most of the gripes in the reviews had to do with the expensive cartridges

The oversize black cartridge is designed to extend into the slot to the left of the normal size cartridge

The cartridges are too expensive also

take off one star for expensive ink cartridges.

So now I'm stuck buying very expensive ink cartridges from

Turns out, the criminal EPSON drains the OTHER THREE color cartridges in black/grayscale and forces you to buy them even though there

If you do more then 1000 prints/month look at an even bigger printer $600+.Most printer manufactures try to prevent you from using compatible cartridges but Epson seems to be the most successful at identifying and rejecting compatible cartridges

I have another one at home and tried switching cartridges and they work fine in the other printer so it is not a cartridge problem but a printer problem!

(though typically it should only take about half at most of a cartridge to print all I need, but this one takes around three), and I cannot afford to buy the yellow cartridge and I am so frantic trying to figure out how to print right now or how to afford another cartridge

No refurbished or cheaper cartridges available

Starter B & W cartridges, good for maybe 25 sheets

No refurbished or cheaper cartridges available

The oversize black cartridge is unreliable

BEWARE: this only takes Epson cartridges, no third party cartridges available

The machine is good, but it eats up ink cartridges very quickly, and compatible ink cartridges are expensive.

They have now sent me two free cartridges.

after I purchased it, I realized why such a great printer was so inexpensive... the cartridges are like $70 for a new set, and you can ONLY use Epson cartridges in it

The black cartridge is defective please replace.

Knock-off cartridges don't seem to work at all

Eventually, I am sure there will be recycled cartridges available eventually ; however, I don't think they will perform quite as well as the Epson cartridges.

But the real problem is how few pages you get for your ink cartridge and how expensive the cartridges themselves are for how few printed pages you get from them

The unit requires excessive head cleaning, which eats up expensive ink cartridges

Costly ink cartridges

The cartridges are not cheap

This printer was very easy to set up - tape off, cartridges in, and then a quick download of driver files (on a MacBook), and first printing about 20 minutes out of the box.

Ordered large capacity B & W cartridge for $44 and now printer wont work because yellow is out

Well, cartridges were easy, but how do you clean a print head whose only sanctioned method of cleaning is to do so within software, which you can't get to when an error screen is keeping you out

There is NO alternative but the overpriced genuine Epson cartridges

It is mind boggling as to why people think it’s slow, I’ve never had any issues at all

Stay as far away from this printer as you can!Error 031008

Reacts super fast t a print command, and is super quiet compared to my Brother I previously owned
