First the ink usage is absolutely the worst I have ever seen. It is really not the amount of ink it uses but the minuscule amount of ink that Epson loads in the cartridges. This problem is easily solved by using 3rd party inks and spongless refillable self resetting cartridges or even external ink tanks. This system will cost you approx. $50 but will save you that much in your first refill. Each spongless cartridge holds about 5 times the ink that is in an Epson cartridge and costs Penney's to fill. That said there is now a caveat to this -----The colors will not be as good as the Epson ink.This issue is 85% solved by profiling the new inks and this is time consuming but only needs to be done one time. I did not re-profile because I am not printing to resell and do not really care if the colors are a bit off.
Second issue which removed a star from my vote is that after printing a couple hundred CDs I started getting a paper jam error and had to restart the printer wasting more ink and

I bought this printer for a friend as a gift, when we took it out of the box to try it out, it did not work. It gave an error "ink not recognized". Called Epson and they sent new ink cartridges, a week and half later all was OK.
It was a sad gift to give because it sat there for two weeks. Once it got working she loves it.

This was my wife's Christmas gift for me a year ago. Yep, you guessed it. Two weeks after the warranty expired the printer stopped functioning properly. I get an "ink cartridge not recognized" error. Unfortunately I bought several genuine, Epson ink cartridges to find out the problem was with the printer. Epson tells me that fixing it might cost more than a new unit.
This is my fourth Epson printer and the other three lasted at least 1000 pages each. Perhaps this one has printed 150. So I'm left with the decision: fix it and salvage the $85 worth of ink laying about or just chuck everything and get something better. Even when it worked the prints weren't that inspiring. Sigh....
