Paul, Falkirk , “very busy university student”

+ Excellent print quality and speed. Scanning and copy facilities also excelent quality and the addded advantage of being a stand alone printer, where you can copy wihtout the need of the computer.

- wireless side took a bit of setting up, took a while due to the wireless router not connecting to wireless network.

+ very easy to set up and use, added bonus is compatible cartridges are easy to get, cheap and produce a very acceptable result

- Sometimes can be a bit finicky when printing from certain programmes, mainly when photos and text are in the same print job.

John, London , “I am no expert”

+ Good printing, Have copied photo's from Scanner with excellent results.

- Uses a lot of ink. It seems more ink has been used switching the printer on and off than is used for printing also, the cartridges seem smaller than my previous Epsom.
I am using it conventionally as I have spent ages trying to set it up Wi Fi to no avail. Concluding. Whilst I am pleased with the printinting results, I am not getting the best out of the printer for the reasons I bought the printer in the first place. Mainly I need it Wi FI. For print I would recommend, but on the whole am disappointed with product.

+ quick, nice quality prints, not as noisy as previous epson models i have had and wifi is a great added bonus.

- Paper jams are frustrating and seem to occur quite often but once rectified its great.
A little "plasticy" especially the paper tray, i'm worried every time i fold it that its going to break although it hasnt.

+ I recently purchased my printer, although I have not used it a lot I am pleased with the results so far as the print quality and speed, also being wifi means I can move it anywhere within the range of my router which is very handy.

- No bad points found so far.

+ The printer itself is excellent but the fact that you have to have an external wireless server is a bit of a bind and nagates the real reason of having wireless so you can have less cables. There are more cables now and i do not recommend this printer to anyone - there is better on the market.
