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)
