Alastair, Earby

+ Good multi function printer/scanner. Low cost for replacement ink tanks.

- Instruction booklet not very comprehensive. Ink tanks don't last very long - but are cheap enough to replace.

Please with overall features of this machine

+ The size is great, only four cartridges required

- Colour reproductions is terrible. A copy of a photograph comes out greenish and not true to life. Complicated controls and not user friendly. I have since switched to an RX620

+ Impressive product. A gift for my retired parents who are non-technical and do not own a computer. Appears to do all it claims, but have not tested thoroughly myself.

- Reviewer left no comment

Would be better if it had a CD slot as most photos will be copied from memory card to CD for storage, but are then unprintable from this device.

- Drinks ink - thus expensive to run.

Purchased to replace a Canon MP370 which I found unsatisfactory. The Epson Stylus Photo RX 520 is an excellent Printer-Scanner-Copier.

- If the print is stopped for any reason, EG no paper. It is a hell of a job to get the printer to resume printing. Usually the only way to start printing again is the turn off the computer and reboot.
