Advantages: clear images on the right setting

Disadvantages: it drinks ink!

This is now quite an old printer from Epson and if I'm honest I would not reccomend it because of all the trouble I have had with it.

As with most printers now the ink levels are controlled by the chips telling the computer how much ink is remaining. I have lost count how many time sI have put a new carteridge in and by the time its finished messing about charging it the levels on the computer come up as two thirds full.

The heads often need cleaning too using yet more ink. This wouldnt be so bad but everybody knows carteridges are very expensive especially when the ink is there but it just tells the computer its empty.

The software that comes with it is easy to use and install.

Be aware that the USB lead that connects it to the computer is not very long at all so you cant have it too far away the tower.

Summary: For the money you can buy much cheaper, efficient models.
