Unlike the other reviewer, I found the thing very easy to set up and print to. I'm printing on Epson Matte Pro and couldn't be happier with the results. The matte paper seems to take time to cure: the images getting better over an hour or so. I'm making almost no PS adjustments for printing. It does a great job with scans of Ilford PanF and Fuji Velvia. The character is ISO50 is preserved and the prints look almost like real wet prints. The prints look better than the monitor images, although I have a pretty so-so Asus monitor. Can't say about ink consumption yet. Also, haven't really tried the wi-fi. I'm just using USB. Oh, it's also quite fast. Works great as a copier and as a printer for standard documents. Haven't tried scanning, as I have a real scanner. Finally, at the close-out price, it's a bargan.

The Epson Artisan 730 All-in-One Printer prints 9.6 pages per minute in black and 9.1 in color. The small 1.5 picoliter ink drop size and MicroPiezo technology ensure fast photo printing and photo lab quality. The printer uses Epson's 6-color Claria Hi-Definition dye-based ink. The smart touch panel makes it easy to operate the printer allowing you to perform functions such as photocopy, print from a memory card, and even crop or reorient photos.
Like its predecessors, the Artisan 730 lets you print directly on a CD or DVD; no need to buy an expensive disc printer or spend time attaching a label. The printer has multiple connectivity options beyond a simple USB connection. Like its predecessor, it has wireless and wired network connectivity. It also has the ability to print directly from an iPhone, iPad, and most smartphones using Epson Connect.
