Pros:
The photo copier, flat bed scanner and printer all in the same unit is space saving as well as easy to use.
Cons:
Epson inks are expensive and if one of the six inks run out, it simply will not print - even if you are not using that particular color in your print.
A4 pages seem to more a fraction while printing and lets just say - this machine isn't exactly the quietest on the market.
Doesn't except all newer types of SD cards.
Overall:
I have had my Epson RX510 for about five years now, and it does work very well.
This one has six cartridges - Black, Magenta, Light magenta, Cyan, Light Cyan, and Yellow. The color it produces had wowed me five years ago but compared to todays printers, would probably pale in comparison. Like many printers, this prints better with Epson inks (no surprise there) the only trouble is, the individual inks are costly and if only one of the six inks run out, you will need to replace it, otherwise nothing will print, even if you aren't even using that color.
I tries to use a copy brand and after a short while, the heads were clogged.
My fauly, I should have kept using Epsons expensive inks.
Also, I had recently bought an SD card for my camera and when I put it in the SD card slot of the printer, it would not show the pictures so annoyingly, I have to use the USB to plug my camera into the computer to view.
Overall it's a good multi functional center that you could probably pick up quite cheaply these days. But be warned, the expense is in the inks and if you try to use an inferior brands of inks to save some money, prepare to have it serviced.
Pros:
The fact that it is relatively easy to use and I can print black and white negatives, colour slides etc. which would cost me a fortune to have done elsewhere.
Cons:
Having to pay for ink cartridges that have run out when I only want to scan to computer etc.
Overall:
Have had machine now for about six years and had no problems at all with it despite a lot of use. Ink way too expensive to have to keep replacing so I now develop most of my prints at BigW on their machines.

Pros:
The fact that I rarely use it so now I save money by not having to keep on purchasing colour ink cartridges. That it is a 3 in one machine (printer, scanner, photo-copier. Also that it enables you to scan photo negatives and slides.
Cons:
The fact that every time you turn on the printer it re-inks the printer heads and uses up ink in all the colour and I assume black ink cartridges. Even if you just want to use the scanner and not the printer it will still use up ink when you first turn the machine on. The colour ink cartridges are not cheap (last time I bought them - some years ago now) they were on average $28.00 each. There are 5 colour cartridges and one black. So it's not cheap to be replacing colour cartridges when you are not even printing in colour. Consequently, I purchased a black and white laser printer (not Epson) and the Epson RX510 just sits there. I don't want to throw it out yet as it has hardly been used (uneconomical) and I paid so much for it 3 years ago.
Overall:
A big disappointment in that I was unaware of the operating costs when I bought it. The re-inking of the heads every time you switch it on consumes valuable ink from fairly small colour ink cartridges. I haven't used the printer to it's full capacity because I don't want the on-going costs of replacing the colour cartridges. The few times I have printed in colour the results were disappointing in that there were fine lines across the image down the whole page.
I wouldn't recommend buying unless you are prepared to be constantly putting your hands in your pocket to pay for replacement colour cartridges due to the re-inking process every time you turn the machine on.
