Advantages: Ink levels monitored showing whn it shall need to be changed

Disadvantages: Paper Jams, a lot., Paper tray often fails to catch paper, leaving rather muddle pile of sheets on the floor!

I currently sit here waiting for my print outs of my cv. I need only five copies, three pages on each. Pretty easy job really, you would think. However this is twenty minutes later, and in counting so far i have had seven paper jams. This generally means that the rather costly printer has decided to take through not one piece of paper, but four or five, and then it expects me to sit there forever clicking "eject paper". as if i would not be annoyed enough by this, we have the added problem of the paper tray. As i can reason, this was designed to catch the printed sheets and keep them in an orderly pile. As it actually works, the paper tends to end up on the floor in a much less orderly pile. Meaning i not only have to sift out all the blank jammed sheets, but also order my work myself.

Previous to this i owned a quite good value canon printer, it was basic but it did its job. I decided to go for the Epson upon the impression that it would be brilliant for printing out my photos, which in fairness it does acieve reasonably well. However i cannot understand why it fails to achieve such basic tasks as printing out word documents.



We have sent it back to the manufacturers twice with these complaints, it has been sent back, working fine for a while but after a few weeks it gets back into its old habits of jamming paper.

Maybe it is simply too ambitious and is trying to print out more than it can handle at once? Maybe i am somehow managing to load the paper in an incorrect fashion every-single-time i use it? Or maybe, just maybe this is a very badly designed printer. I would not recomend this machine to anyone.
