Advantages: Good, fast prints

Disadvantages: Uses ink far too quickly due to head cleaning on switch-on. No good for heavy card

Pro's: Excellent print quality and fast printing, especially on text only setting. Easy cartridge replacement - a vital facility for the reasons given below!

Cons: Extremely thirsty, losing about 5% of the minute ink capacity every time it is switched on, due to head cleaning. The maximum paper weight is nowhere specified, but it will not accept 240g card unlike the C86. Probably includes the maddening in-built pre-determined lifetime after which it just dies. Obviously designed with maximum profit for minimum consumer satisfaction in mind!

Not a printer to be recommended unless one is willing to meet the high running cost. It is very surprising that Epson produced this printer which, despite its high rating for quality of print, is inferior to other models and does nothing to enhance the Brand image. The consumer needs high capacity ink cartridges which are not depleted at an extravagant rate, and the ability to handle heavy card up to 240gsm. The C86 model meets such requirements.

Summary: Retrograde design with very high running costs
