I bought my epson stylus color 680 about 15 months ago, i bought it for about £90 i suppose it wasnt a bad price until you have to fork out for the ink at around £25 for colour and about £15 for black ink.

Its still in great working order, only problem i had with it is that if you dont use it for some time the ink doesnt work. You have to let the printer warm it up, its annoying when you have to print somethin off quickly because it takes a least 5 minutes to warm the ink up.

This printer im reviewing about is a bit like a washing machine. sounds stupid but its true, with a washing machine if u dont get it level to the floor it'll vibrate and move around, well thats like this epson.

When printing lots of pages it tends to vibrate and shake your desk like hell.
Once i was printing off about 50 pages constantly and the printer managed to vibrate itself nearly off the desk.
It prints out pages quite fast (not sure about the specs).
The other bad pointer is that when printing and it pulls the paper in, it makes really loud cracking and banging noises.

Overall all though to me its just an average printer, add a bit more cash and you can get a better one.
