This unit was easy to install and works well, but when I tried to print with it (and this was using Epson’s Premium Glossy Photo Paper and setting the printer for “Best Photo”) the result was an image that was sharp and clear yet entirely faded. There was no strength to the colors at all. Epson service told me to run the standard nozzle cleaning / head cleaning utilities which used up half the ink the thing came with and it still will only print these totally unnaceptable faded images. So Epson decides that this printer has a “hardware problem” and they’re sending me another (in 7 to 10 days) along with labels for me to mail my brand spanking new and thoroughly useless printer back to them. And, joy of all joys, they’ve put a $120 lien on my bank account. I scanned a photo and the scan was excellent, very clear, very fast …and ofcourse when I printed it the image was faded.
This gets two stars instead of one for the scanner which functions well enough, and who knows, maybe the next brand new CX4800 I get will actually work.
I bought my EPSON STYLUS CX1500 ALL-in-ONE inkjet printer exactly 18 months ago(one and a half year) and now it CANNOT print, scan, photocopy, and the WORST of all, it does NOT allow me to replace the nearly empty color ink cartridge. The Black ink cartridge is still 80% full and the color ink cartridge is about 20-30% full. I have read other people’ reviews on EPSON printer and my CX1500 has the same problem.
EPSON printer does not work if one of the cartridge is low in ink. Since the BLACK ink cartridge is at the outter end of the print head, the print head MIGHT still automatically move to ink replacement position when I press the Ink button to replace an empty Black Ink cartridge. But in this case, the color ink cartridge is low in ink. After ignoring the pop up screen message of ink replacement several times and after using the sub-standard EPSON printer for 18 months, the CX1500 now simply stops functioning. The red light of Ink button is always ON (not flashing)and other LED light are off when I start the printer. I press the INK button for about 20 seconds, the print head still has no movement.
The CX1500 costs hk$788 and the EPSON Technical support person told me it would cost HK$550 to repair the printer. I would not have purchased this EPSON printer if I had not been in a hurry to replace my HP printer(it worked well for 4 years) and if the Fortress Guy had not said so many good things about this printer (Oh yes, Fortress is Not good as well). I knew HP was good and I thought EPSON printers were good as well. I was willing to buy a quality printer even though the price was a bit higher. Now I have to buy another one and I don’t have much to spend at the moment.
If you still believe in an EPSON, go for it, but be prepared to buy another one after a year or so. I just don’t understand how can a EPSON printer last for 7 years.
I read several reviews before deciding on the Epson All-in-One. So far, it has been great. The pictures that I have printed look wonderful, even on plain paper. Setup was a snap. So far an Epson has never failed me.
I bought a similar model, the CX4600, a little over a year ago and it will no longer print, no doubt due to one of the maladies noted in the reviews. Emails back and forth to Epson achieved nothing. Servicing it is pointless since it would cost more that the cost of the printer to have anyone begin to look at it. So it’s off to the landfill. What are we doing to our planet with all the planned obsolescence in the computer hardware industry?
This is a printer to use mostly as a black & white. The color prints out well but don’t use for photos. The ink runs out quickly. Copying photos doesn’t work, the colors blend into each other and you don’t get a clear image. It’s an ok little printer. For me, it’s just a 4th printer I have in my bedroom. I’m spoiled and I want to print from whatever room I’m in. So it works well as an extra printer but if you want it for a main printer…try to find a different one. The HP printers are very good.
