Title: ink problems
Product review: This printer is a major ink rip-off. Epson must have decided to sell printers near cost, then gouge its customers big time on ink cartridges. Ink cartridges are expensive, and this printer goes through ink like crazy. The ink clogs often, leaving unprinted streaks through my print jobs. I have to run the head-cleaning routine every week or so, which uses even more ink. For the past month I have printed all my documents using the "black ink only" setting, and it still runs down the color cartridges as well as the black. It must use some during its warmup every time I turn it on and off, or maybe it just evaporates. Now my magenta cartridge is running out, and the printer won't let me run the head-cleaning option while the cartridge needs replacing, so I can't even continue using black only! I don't know if any other companies are any better, but I hate how bad Epson has screwed me on this one.
