Epson Stylus CX3700

Terrible – Do yourself a favour and don't buy this printer!! Yes it's cheap, but so other the other makes these days. The problem with this one is you'll be paying hundreds of dollars on ink cartriges so in the end it wasn't a cost effective purchase. It prints and was cheap. I hate this printer because you have to have ink in all 4 cartriges or it won't print, even if you select black & white and have the black ink cartridge full. What a joke! I wish I knew of this ploy before I bought an Epson printer. Silly of them to do though, since you can put generic catridges in it anyway so Epson aren't always profiting off the seemingly continuous act of replacing ink cartriges that seem to just evaporate.

Has been a very reliable printer for my parents and prints great looking photos to boot! – My parents bought this printer 4 years ago on my suggestion as I worked at the computer shop that they bought it from. As long as you buy Original Epson Print Cartridges you will have a very reliable printer that prints excellent photos for many years! I've read the negative reviews on this printer and while some points are valid like slow print speed and high ink consumption, overall this printer has been very reliable and prints great photos for the price! My parents are not bothered spending a little bit extra for Genuine Epson cartridges, as the results when also using Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper speaks for itself. I've worked with many different brands of Inkjet printers Canon, Brother, HP, Lexmark and I've found Epson to be the most reliable of the lot! P.S. I would have given this printer 5 stars had it not been for the a fore mentioned problems. Great quality photo prints with very vibrant colours matching the original digital photos perfectly! Slow black and white printing and high ink consumption (prepare ahead and make sure you have spare ink cartrdges on hand)

Terrible – Shite, will not consider buying their printers again, apart from the ink problem, after buying the printer in Australia when I installed the drivers etc I just made the assumption that the default language would be english. Silly me, that would just be common sense. After spending about 2 hours on their website when I was trying to resolve my printing issue to get the english driver that I could understand what was actually written in the windows, there were issues with the link that they provided, I then managed to run into the lack of ink problem and hit a massive brick wall The scanner works extremely well and is very flexible with different settings and recognition of different type of items being scanned, from old photo's to drivers license to prove identity, just need to adjust the settings until you find the one that works the best for you If only one ink supply is empty, then you are unable to print at all. Not real handy saturday evening of a long weekend when its needed to print stuff out in black and white, and its only one of the color cartridges that wont work. Spoke to tech support about this issue and they pretty much told me that it was bad luck and there was no way around it at all.

OK – Easy to install, but despite using EPSON paper the colour quality is poor, faint. Also the printer takes a long time to clean nozzles if the printer hasn't been used for a while. All-in-one Photo print quality not the best, changing default settings etc not user friendly
