The proprietary ink and ink cartridges are things I don't like about this printer

There are no cheaper ink alternatives

take off one star for expensive ink cartridges.

This ink-spewing disposable devise (definite sarcasm here for all printer manufacturers) has a tacky exterior - cheap-looking brittle plastic that is really a step backwards from my trusty old HP 6500 that died on me after 5 years of reliable performance.

Ink ridiculously expensive, no remanufactured option

First time I need to change the ink it gives me an error code and won't work..... conveniently after purchasing 90 dollars in new ink.

Also it refuses to print if it thinks there isn’t ink available, which is insane because the levels go down without having printed anything

Sure wish I could use another less expensive ink.

also the difference between the two is ink consumption the epson burns through

she’s a maniac in a street fight, but still we continue on as it refuses to accept printer setting changes, requires paper selection in its display vs in windows on the PC, continuously tries to print 8x11 on 4x6, sucks ink like a pre-1996 diesel truck, constantly requires reconnection to WiFi, absolutely fails in any compatibility with Mac in spite of advertised compatibility, and requires constant recalibration to fix blurry printing

Of course, like all ink printers, the ink is very expensive.

Not only the ink is very expensive, but the printing is only mediocre.

It was much simpler to setup than my Canon, but the ink is quite expensive and it burns thru it quick.

It's quite fast and hopefully I won't have to change ink so often like my old one I had years ago

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

I wish the ink were cheaper, but I'd say that about any inkjet printer

this is a review about the ink, because let's face it--these are simply plastic boxes used to sell overpriced ink to giant companies.

I do wish the ink was cheaper, but the papers are crystal clear, software is easy

I wish the ink wasnt as expensive as buying the whole printer again.

Ink really expensive compared to other printers?

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

Epson needs a better ink system (look to HP for a great model), or they need to allow use of generic inks

Buyer beware, not only does this printer suck ink like its a fish

The ink is unbelievably expensive and the printer burns through it like water.

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

Also, this printer eats ink like crazy.

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

You cannot find any generic ink cartridges that work with this model.

The printer is OK, but the ink is very expensive, hard to find, and you can only print a few sheets before it runs out of ink and needs another refill

Sucks up ink like nothing else

Another disappointment, look fancy, but drink Ink like water at Champagne prices, couldn't even print 35 pictures ( 6"X4" ) without running out of ink, and forget about putting substitute ink, will not operate

Which is nice because ink isn't cheap, and you can't refill cartridges with chips in them (like they all do now) because the 'freshness date' won't allow you to print once it goes past what they think should be a good quitting time

I like this but the ink is expensive and it goes through it super fast

The printer is pretty cheap, and for a cheaper printer the ink isn't bad.

Not only is it difficult to install, and printing via bluetooth is near impossible, but the ink is crazy expensive and there are no comparable which will work

The ink is also a problem

Print Quality was amazing and modern ink jets have come a long way in respect to quality and speed

The ink is so expensive and I only got about 300 copies before it was telling me it needed ink again.

Printer work great but the ink is definitely pricey!

Again, wasting ink every time I have to perform yet another maintenance

The ink itself is outrageously expensive

Sucks up ink like nothing else

and it has the correct ink

The ink is expensive only $20 less than the printer and it gives you less than 50 pages even when you buy the Black 702XL.

The only issues I have are that the ink is very expensive, especially compared to the printer, it is a little noisy (but I like this because I can hear that my airprint has worked when I’m in another room), and it will not print colors if the black cartridge is out (I tried to change the font of a word document to blue to print when black ran out)

Buyer beware, not only does this printer suck ink like its a fish

and ink is more costly than narcotics

both drink ink like water and are constantly giving printing errors.

Costly ink cartridges

Uses Ink like a sieve.

Even with cleaning ink heads and changing cartridges.

Works well, but the ink is hard to find

it drinks ink like a college kid drinks beer

It sucks the ink and will say it’s out even right after a new cartridge is installed

it eat's up Ink like faster then any of the other Epson' printer

WORST INK USER EVER

The PROS: beautiful Epson color, the ink is lovely (though small), the all in one feature is nice and the price is good value

Ink is also a little hard to find in stores, so best to make sure you have extra cartridges on hand

The ink is ridiculously expensive

Ink is expensive and does not last long.

Ink is expensive and doesn't last long at all

Of course, like all ink printers, the ink is very expensive.

Not only is the ink ridiculously expensive

she’s a maniac in a street fight, but still we continue on as it refuses to accept printer setting changes, requires paper selection in its display vs in windows on the PC, continuously tries to print 8x11 on 4x6, sucks ink like a pre-1996 diesel truck, constantly requires reconnection to WiFi, absolutely fails in any compatibility with Mac in spite of advertised compatibility, and requires constant recalibration to fix blurry printing

Bleeds ink, throws error codes, is a complete paper weight.

This printer bleeds ink

The ink that this uses is not very common, so harder to find.

It also never cleaned the printer head fully and color images always have stripes of missing ink going through them

Ink is too expensive.

Ink is a bit pricey, so refills are an option

Ink is easy to replace.

The ink is SO EXPENSIVE!!

I love the touchscreen control panel that swivels to your comfort level and easy to navigate menu that allows you to find information such as ink levels and number of pages printed since your last ink cartridge change.

You are stuck with their expensive inks

Only drawback is the ink is a little pricey.

Honestly this design uses so much ink and the ink is so unreasonably expensive

black)?Are you using genuine Epson ink cartridges?What are the cartridge part numbers

I've ordered more ink because I have to finish this project, but as soon as I'm done printing, provided I have enough ink to finish, I'm probably going to return the printer

Ink is expensive

Ink is extraordinarily expensive.

Ink is expensive too

Generic ink is not available, and I can't find refillable cartridges that are compatible.

The ink for the printer is cheaper than HP, however the scanning function almost always has a first time error before scanning a document correctly.

Must of been before everyone realized how bad the ink was.)

Ink is expensive.

This thing wants to suck up color ink even when you want only black and white,

It would be nice if they had a program like HP's instant ink or if stores around me (granted I live in a town with a population of 25k) carried it for when in a

This printer uses ink like its water

This printer eats up ink like a thirsty dog in the desert

Ink for this printer is a huge investment, and frankly not worth the effort or expense.

Plus the ink is really expensive

The ink is unbelievably expensive and the printer burns through it like water.

Expensive ink.

Ink was very expensive.

It eats ink cartridges like paper.

The ink cartridges are not refillable with 3rd party ink, no one makes a Continous Ink Supply System for it, and the Epson refills are over half the price of the printer for the basic 702 ink cartridges and well over the price of the printer for all 702XL cartridges

After this latest issue and not honoring the warranty, I will not be buying an Epson printer again.2 issues with 2 different printers + crappy NO WARRANTY service + costly ink
