Review Summary

Rated 3 out of 5

Lousy sheet media handling

If you use a lot of sheet media you will be miserable! Difficult to load and very very slow once you jump through all the hoops. Print driver software very unfriendly. If I had not gotten a killer deal on this I would gone back to Epson printers. The print quality is outstanding and is thrifty on ink. Printing on roll media works well. No issues with ink clogging, but replaced the red ink print head once under warranty.
