I bought this printer a few days ago. It is loud loading paper and takes a long time to print. I didnt have any problem loading it because I was suckered into buying this because the tech person at the store said he would load it and get it set up for free. He did but after checking amazon prices when I got home, I see that I paid twice as much. Lesson learned.
I got the product mainly for printing and FAXing…… The unit works fine if you only intend on using it as a printer. But the scan and FAX functions are absolutely useless. Even when “helping” the paper into the FAX feeder, the device constantly jams. I ultimately got so frustrated with the FAX jamming that I pounded the unit, and destroyed the feeder. I then tossed the unit in the trash. Good riddance.
I went into Wally World (Wal*Mart) to shop for ink cartridges for a HP C4180. Decent AIO but hates after market ink cartridges. Leaks ink and makes a mess to clean up. HP factory carts are ok, but the machine still uses lots of ink. The store had just finished setting up a display of twelve Epson NX300 AIO machines and had a price of $49.95 on the stand. For that price (less than the carts for the HP 4180) it was a no brainer to buy the Epson and give it a trial. Unpacking and setup is straight forward, big instruction sheet with easy steps to follow. Your USB 2 cable is needed, as one does not come with the machine. Setup for your own printer preferences is important, especially if you want draft high speed no color printing. Yes, the Epson is noisy at page printing startup and normal black printing is slower than the HP lineup, but for the bucks this is one heck of a printer that does a lot more than print. Everyone is concerned about the amount of ink that they use, but do you really need to print everything on the monitor screen? The cost of the ink for these things is cheap, compared to what the real cost of the printer would be if the ink cart was the size of an orange and sold for $5.00. I have owned lots of printers since 1985 and this Epson carries on the tradition (they were first on the market with desktop printers, you know)of quality for the money.
Yes, it is a cheap printer and I bought it just for the scanning feature. Cheap Flatbed Scanners are around $80. So the Epson NX300 for $47 at Sam’s Club is the cheapest scanner I could find. And so far it scans just fine for my purposes… Mostly backup documents at 300dpi resolution.
However, I feel their advertisment about the print speed is misleading… (I know, they do have a fine print saying that the speed is estimated for draft mode… but who really reads the fine print, especially when you are at the store looking at the box and would need reading glasses to read it). Under regular printing (not even high quality), take the advertised speed and divide it by about 20 and you will be there. So the estimated 30ppm for b/w comes out to be about 1.5ppm. This makes it by far the slowest printer I have ever owned. If I would have bought it as a primary home or office printer, it would go back to the store tomorrow.
Now to the cost of ink… at the moment it doesn’t matter which printer you buy. Printer ink from ALL printer manufacturers is expensive and that is an understatement. If you calculate the cost of ink per cartridge and convert these tiny amounts into gallons your price will be around $5,000 /gallon printerink. No, this is not a typo. I meant fivethousand!!!! Doesn’t matter if it’s an HP, Epson, Canon, etc. (Well, maybe Kodak printers… They have the cheapest inkprice per cartridge: You get a doublepack of black for about $10 at Sams for the Kodak, but I have not researched enough how much they hold or if they just put a very small amount in their cartridges to warrant the price) Refilling is no longer easy for new printers and their cartridges, since all these Epson, HP, Canon stuff is now microchipped. So you can’t refill, the printer knows and refuses to print unless you know how or invest into software that is able to reset / reprogram that dreaded ink cartridge chip. These new cartridges also have an expiration date. So you can not stockpile cheap ink. When the expiration date arrives, the cartridge will be unusable (= reads empty) even though it is brand new out of the box. Some printers, like my HP Officejet Pro L7590, croak if you put aftermarket cartridges in it!!! (I am now on the third replacement from HP for the L7590.. So far free hence under warrenty!) I suggest to hold on to your old inkjets. They usually print fine, so does my 7 year old HP deskjet 990cse and it has the old fashioned, non-microchiped, easily refillable cartridges that are still available. And it prints faster then the brandnew Epson NX300!
I was debating on a newer model hp with wireless, and this one at OM. This one was on clearance for 79 plus an additional 30% off, so I decided to try it. I have just completed a scan, a copy, and a photo print. All were fine. Not great, but good enough for the $60 I paid (which included tax)It is slow and loud, but the weird noises it makes are slightly endearing in an underdog-lover sort of a way.
Their are some newer, prettier ones out there, but this one was quite the bargain, so if you don’t need all the bells and whistles, it does the job.
I was very annoyed to find that it lacks the required usb cord. Luckily, my old printer had one that worked, otherwise I’d have been extremely annoyed. You may want to order that if you don’t have a spare one lying around!
As far as ink goes, I think that’s how these printer companies make their money. I had an hp at work and the microscopic cartridges it took ran out in about 10 prints. grr!
This one has separate cartridges for the 3 colors plus black, so I’m hoping that’ll help the situation a bit!
