As one who has been sold on Epson printers by a sales clerk at an electronics store, let me tell you what you are in for if you buy this product. Apparently these hungry sharks (you can go to the website and see theil mos honolabre mug shots at colpolate headqualtels in Japan) have a plan that goes far beyond selling you a printer. Once they have made that sale they hope to keep milking you with subsequent purchases of ink cartridges for the life of the machine.
Now, not being content just selling you the cartridges, they have it all engineered so that if you don't use the printer often enough to suit them the cartridges will plug up and you will have to use up ink to clean the nozzles. This abuse is bad enough, but they went further still. If only your black or your color cartridge is fouled you have to do both of them. You can't just tell the clean one to sit out the ink-dumping process. No sirree. I wonder if at most honolabre meeting someone suggested that they allow the owner of the printer to just choose to clean the fouled cartridge and let the other off the hook, and if said hapless individual got the axe for his caring, his human decency, his lack of corporate greed.
This may be a competent printer, and cheap money at the outset, but watch out. They get you in the end. Mos honolabre lipoff.
