I got this printer in 2011 when my old printer HP F4400 stopped working completely.
Reason For Purchase
=
Main issue with my previous printer was that the Cartridges were very costly.A combo of tri colour and black cartridge cost me around 1000 bucks.When it broke down I planned to buy a printer whose cartridges can be refilled.I got to know from some local vendors that this printer supports refillable cartridge.
Price I Paid
=
I paid 3700 for this printer and 1200 for 4 refillable cartridge(300 per cartridge).The refillable cartridge were from some local brand.I guess "SHARP JET"
FEATURES
=
This printer supports scanning, printing and photocopying.
LIKES
=
The only thing which I feel is good about this printer is that it supports Refillable Cartridge and you can refill them at home.100 ml can of ink bottle(irrespective of the colour) costs around 150 Rs. You can easily refill it 7-8 times saving a lot of bucks.
DISLIKES
=
Poor Copying and scanning speed.
If you ant to take a print out with full page print it will take around 1 minute.For a photo print out it takes around 4-5 minutes.
Just after the completion of one year warranty the head of my printer(the part from where the ink comes out and is sprayed on paper)got damaged.I took it to the service centre and they said that new head costs around 2900 Rs.They said that they can clean the old head in 700 Rs and it will work for at least next 5 month.I got it cleaned but again after two months I have to run to service centre.This time they said that you LOGIC CARD is damaged and it will cost around 1700 Rs.I got it repaired and after 4 months again this printer stopped working.Now it is lying in a corner in my room covered up with dust .
Accessories
=
The adapter provided with this printer was very good.It is still in working condition.However the USB cable with A-B type connector got broken and I had to use a spare one.
Final Verdict
=
Friends EPSON has stopped manufacturing this printer and they have stopped providing service for this.Apart from this from my experience I ll advise you to spend a bit more and go for Brands like Canon.
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
