Here's the deal... EPSON tricks you. Does it print well? Yes, but you can't print a B&W page without having color working. And worse yet, it uses teeny bits of color each time you print B&W so that you can't just NOT use color. I am a PhD student. I discovered this in the middle of printing an assignment. I scrambled to the lab at the university. Later I found out the whole thing STOPS and cannot be forced if you don't have ALL your ink loaded. So Cost of ink: Black: $16, colors, $13 each, times 4= $68; New canon printer at Wal Mart--which ALLOWS you to force B&W printing and has all the same functions of my EPSON rip off: $54.88.
Peace of mind: Priceless

The Epson Stylus CX7400 Color All-in-One printer prints up to 28 pages per minute of black and color text with its advanced DX3 print head technology, and just as easily transitions into a high-quality photo printer that can print vibrant color images straight from your memory card or camera. The Stylus CX7400 also includes Auto Photo Correction capabilities that reduce photo red eye, while vibrant color copies can be made with just one touch. Preserving family photos and electronic documents is made easier with the printer's high-resolution scanning techniques, while each printed document or photograph from the Stylus CX7400 will resist fading up to six times longer than those from other printers.
The streamlined design of the 17.7 by 18.7 by 10.6 inch Stylus CX7400 makes this 20 pound machine incredibly versatile and easy to use. One standard ink set is used for printing both documents and photos, eliminating the need for special ink cartridges, while documents and images print out smudge free and fade and water resistant. And when ink runs low, replace only the colors you need with individual DURABrite Ultra Ink cartridges. In addition, this useful printer comes with a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
What's in the Box Stylus CX7400 ink jet all-in-one, 69 black ink cartridge (T069120), 69 cyan ink cartridge (T069220), 69 magenta ink cartridge (T069320), 69 yellow ink cartridge (T069420), documentation, CD-ROM (drivers and software), and power cable.

Epson Stylus NX415 All-in-One Printer Review

Epson Stylus NX415 All-in-One Printer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had abandoned Epson years ago and switched to Lexmark printers because of the great "deals" that could be had. I decided to give up on Lexmark because of all the problems I've encountered with their printers. You get what you pay for I suppose. I figured I'd give Epson a chance before going elsewhere and I'm glad I did!
Initially I was looking at the NX515 because of the Wifi capabilities, but decided the price bump wasn't worth it. I paid somewhere around $60.00 for this machine, and I feel it was worth every penny.
The first thing I noticed, which I couldn't find in other AIO printers in the same price range, is separate ink cartridges for each color. The printer takes 4 cartridges, one each for CMKY. Each replacement cartridge costs about $13. While not the cheapest, you still save money in the long run because you don't have to replace all 3 colors at once as you do with a single multi-color cartridge.
The scanner is AMAZING to say the least. You can scan up to 4800 DPI which is more than enough for most people. At the highest scan resolution you can see each individual fiber on a sheet of paper! Excellent for making high resolution photos out of regular 4x6 film photos. Print quality is very nice. Faster than most AIO's out there. Photo printing is nice with no graininess or streaks. Edges are crisp and well defined, saturation and color matching is good.
Navigational buttons are simple and easy to use. Menus are user friendly. The small LCD screen is a big help ( it adjusts to give a better viewing angle) and turns off after a few minutes of disuse to save energy. Memory card reader is simple to use once you figure out which way they're supposed to go in. You can crop, rotate, and print photos right from the printer and it's surprisingly easy.
My only complaint is that it only comes in black! In all it's a cheap printer with some wonderful features that's a perfect companion to any computer.

Epson Stylus CX7800 All-in-One Printer, Copier, Scanner Review

The bonus here is the included negative scanner. I didn't buy this from Amazon (sorry, someone else beat the price), but I am pleased with it.
The other reviewer (at this time) complained about the lack of usb cables--but I'm not entirely sympathetic. First, this is standard practice for Epson. If you didn't know it wasn't there, then you probably haven't bought an Espon before this. Second, there is actually a good reason for this: most people are not buying a first printer at this point, and pretty much all cables are the same (as long the connectors fit, you're good to use it). This cuts down on their costs, which hopefully means a slightly less expensive printer. I personally have 3 or four cables for this printer, and don't want any more.
As far as quality goes--I don't have any complaints. It does borderless (edge-to-edge) printing on cardstock (doesn't support it on regular paper) without any problems, which is one of the things I look for in a printer. It also doesn't show any banding or striping, which is good for printing photos.
Memory stick support is good (I have a Sony camera that uses Memory Stick), and works well.
Overall, a solid printer. As long as the print heads stay clean, I'll be happy.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When they say something is too good to be true, it's true!
This printer has great specs. and great features, and it's brand new. But there's only one little problem: it consumes ink like a drunk at a cocktail party.
We're not just talking a weekend binge either, we're talking something along the lines of only 40 copies per 4-cartridge ink pack. I've printed nothing but web pages-- no photos at all-- and some of them are draft; about 30 in total.
Despite this, the blue and yellow cartridges are 75% empty, the magenta is heading there as well, and the black is at 50%.
This is unacceptable, and I suspect Epson is aware of the problem. These new inks are highly volatile and they dry fast, but that means they're testy in the cartridge as well. After a week of limited use, there has been a precipitous drop in the ink levels.
Epson already has out a "high-capacity" black replacement cartridge, which I suspect SOON will be the standard and only one for this printer. No doubt they will also upgrade the color ink capacity as well.
Until then--- you've been warned! The few people who have been using this printer so far are all in agreement: there's something wrong here. So let them fix it first.

Epson Stylus CX5400 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier Review

Epson Stylus CX5400 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The CX5400 currently sells for $..., maybe less with rebates and other incentives. is it worth it? YUP!!
This badboy copies,prints and scans just like the older CX5200 model that was discontinued by Epson but it also does borderless printing and its quiet!!!
See http://www.epson.com/ for full specs.
SETUP - a breeze, open up the box, remove all that funky tape, plug it in, insert the 4 cartridges, flip that scanner lock switch, install the software, plug in the usb port. Took me 5 minutes, no problems at all.
NOISE - Only noise this unit makes is when its first turned on, it initalizes and does all kinds of stuff, takes 2 mins, when its idle, its whisper quiet. When it prints, there is only the humm of paper being printed, not loud at all, the CX5200 made a horrible sound when it printed, they fixed it in this unit.
SPEED - print speed is very fast, b&w or color - no waiting for it to catch up. i printed 20 pages that came out before my coffee was even cold. Best photo printing is the slowest mode as expected, so be patient.
OUTPUT - paper comes out dry, text is rich and clean, looks like a laser printer. color is very sharp and crisp, no problems here. this unit does 8 1/2x11 borderless printing too, amazing. 5700x1440 dpi is very nice and durabrite ink comes out dry.
SCANNING - it scans 1200x2400 dpi @ 48bit which in english means your color or b&w scans will come out exactly as the original, i scanned a magazine page and my keys, no blurs or distortion at all, job well done epson.
COPYING - you dont need the pc to do copying, it does color and b&w copying just like a real copier would, enlargments/reductions/lighten or darken the image and zoom and # of copies, its all there. the scanning are is too small to handle legal size paper, but i dont think any of the multifunction printers can.
CONCLUSION - i give it a 5 stars, the CX5200 had paper loading problems-fixed here, it also had slow photo printing-fixed here. This unit also displays the ink levels in printer config or control panel and ink is a **lot** cheaper and lasts longer than any of the HP mfc's.
DISLIKES - only things for epson to work on, makes the power cord removeable to the unit so its easier to feed under a desk, put the usb port in back of the unit so the cable doesn't get bent, make the control panel on the printer a little bigger, and maybe add a sleep mode so it will use less electricity when idle for 10 mins or more.
There are tons of options to set in printer config, too many to explain here. Epson came out with this CX5400 model and the CX6400 model, personally, the CX6400 looked huge to me, 23" wide and wouldn't fit on my desk.
Still waiting for a review from zdnet or pcworld, wonder whats taking them so long ?
CX5200 and CX5400 uses the same ink carts...epson says black will last 1000 pages, and color around 300 pages give or take a few. I can tell you from experience, the HP2210 lasted 35 color pages and about 70 black.
Good job Epson... HP should be ashamed for charging twice the price for the same features and way overcharging for ink cartridges.
I dont work for Epson, Amazon or HP, so you know this review is honest!!

Epson Stylus CX8400 Color All-in-One Printer Review

Epson Stylus CX8400 Color All-in-One Printer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Well... I finally made the jump to a printer, scanner, and copier and I decided to make it an Epson due to the price and individual printer cartridges. I want to issue a very serious buyer beware though and I implore you not to take this lightly. I'm not one to complain very much but this printer warrants it. Let's start with the good first. This is a very attractive looking printer, it prints well (except draft mode could be a tad darker for my taste), and it scans pretty well (not very many options to scan into other programs though). Why do I give it a one though?
Well... I got this printer about 2 weeks ago. Since then I have not printed in color at all and usually print stuff in draft mode. Well... it turns out after 2 weeks that all three of the individual color printer cartridges are almost expended!!!!! 2 weeks of no use and I need to buy three new ones? I contacted the company to see what was going on and they told me it is due to the way the printer is designed. The cartridges "prime" even if you don't use them for the print job. 2 weeks of "priming" and I almost need new cartridges which are quite pricey compared to HP, Kodak, and Canon. Plus... when my color cartridges run out... even if I still only print in black... my printer will fail to operate. Plus... I heard you can't even scan when a cartridge it out. So... you are pretty much forced to go buy a cartridge. Plus... it is quite hard to use generic ink due to the way they designed the printer. Once you do succeed you have to click "ok" to prompts because you didn't use Epson ink. I hope everyone will heed my warning. This printer will quickly be very expensive.

Average Reviews:

I am SO SO SO unhappy for buying this printer. If I continued to use it, it would cost me over $1 per page in ink supplies - why? Because I print very few pages, and this printer consumes ink without printing.
Apparently, every time it is turned on, or every time the computer is turned on or every time it is connected to a computer, it is programmed to "use" ink, or at least make you/the computer think it has used ink.
I have printed less than 20 pages TOTAL in approx 2 months, and all but 5 of them with the "Use Black Ink Only" option in properties, yet, all 3 color cartridges are down to 1 notch before totally empty, and the black level is 2 notches above empty. A set of black and color ink cartridges is about $40 - you do the math - less than 40 pages printed = $40 in ink?
Searching the Internet, I learn that Epson (as well as some other ink jet makers) intentionally do this - this should be illegal. Someone needs to sue these unethical greedy Sob's.

Average Reviews:

I've had this a couple months. It prints fine but I am not thrilled about the ink system. There's a black and then 3 individual colors and if even one color is out, you can't print anything. When black was out, it wouldn't even let me print text in color. DO NOT try to buy compatible ink replacements because they won't work. That is a pain. I talked to Cartridge World about refills and they said once the low ink signal comes up, it's too late to refill because it triggers an electronic thing that they can't fix and the printer won't recognize it. So Epson really has you pinned on the buying their name brand ink. Best deal is at Best Buy - black single is $15.59 and colors are $11.49 each. That beats online prices. But I sure go through it...I print a lot of letters with photos and stuff like that.

Epson Stylus CX6600 Photo Printer, Copier, Scanner Review

Epson Stylus CX6600 Photo Printer, Copier, Scanner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was nervous about getting an all-in-one printer. Usually these printers do an average job at three different things and don't really do anything well. But, I had good reviews elsewhere (Consumer Reports, etc.) and decided to give it a chance.
Pros:
*Fast Printer
*Very good quality (we printed our Christmas cards with a black and white picture on it and people were surprised it came off of our printer).
*Good copier and quick
*Easy to set up
*Easy to use
*Less expensive ink--I have had Lexmarks and other brands but the ink was very expensive. Epson is relatively inexpensive comparing with other printer ink costs.
Cons:
The biggest con that I have found with this printer is the out of ink problem. You have 4 different cartridges (black, cyan, magenta and another color). If one of those cartridges runs out, you cannot print anything. It locks you up until your replace that cartridge. This is silly because if you still have black, why can't you just print black and white?
Overall
I am pleased and think it is a terrific printer/scanner/copier all at a good price.

Epson WorkForce 325 Color Inkjet All-in-One (C11CB08201) Review

Epson WorkForce 325 Color Inkjet All-in-One (C11CB08201)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This printer is a replacement for a similarly-priced older HP PSC1200, which had all of the same features except for faxing and WiFi. And I can say that this printer is superior in almost every way! The next time you are considering a print cartridge change on your old all-in-one, strongly consider upgrading to this Epson printer.
PROS:
The Mac OSX support is good. The driver CD was easy to install, unlike the HP experience, which has consisted of either the safe but featureless built-in driver or the featureful but computer-destroying install CD. None of those "extra programs" were installed by default by the Epson CD.
The driver supports setting the color management mode to black and white only, and retains it when you save it as a new Printer Preset. If you've had an HP before, you'll know that this is fantastic -- I had to remove the color cartridge from my old HP because it would randomly start deciding to print my black and white PDFs using the color cartridge.
The speed is very good for a low-cost inkjet printer, particularly just black and white research-type PDFs (the majority of what I print).
Paper feeder doesn't occasionally grab two sheets at a time.
CONS:
Printing is a little bit louder than my old HP. It's no dot-matrix printer, but the paper feeder is quite noisy.
Setting up the printer to work over WiFi doesn't work from OSX, so you have to put in your SSID/WEP key at the console. Better hope it's not complicated!

Epson Stylus NX115 All-in-One (C11CA46212) Review

Epson Stylus NX115 All-in-One (C11CA46212)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First things first: this is a very inexpensive all in one. Don't expect it to be as good in overall build quality and features as the expensive models from Epson or competitors.
That being said, this is a fully competent copier/printer/scanner that surprised me when I saw the prints. They are excellent.
OK, not perfect. On plain paper, some colors looked a little more washed-out than with the more expensive models (in particular the HP Photosmart Premium). But the HP costs three times as much and is only slightly better in print quality. What's different? Colors are shifted a little from the original on copies, and the saturation could be a little better (though that would also use more ink).
I like the fact that Epson sells higher capacity replacement cartridges, bringing the cost per page to a reasonable amount compared with the supplied low-capacity cartridges. I also like the speed of printing and copying once it actually starts doing so. You do have to wait a while for the first copy, especially when you haven't printed in a while ... typical for inkjet printers. But once it starts, print speeds are very acceptable.
Overall I am very satisfied, especially considering the cost. In fact, at far less than $100, the NX115 offers quite a bit. Obviously no fax, but few people fax much any more, and the scan capability is nice to have.
Software installation takes some time, but the installer does a nice job and only installs the various programs on computers that support them (I installed the software on various Macs ranging from current models to the 2nd generation iMac, all using different versions of OSX). The software plays nice with Macs, though I did not test it with 10.6.
I believe this is a solid choice for an inexpensive printer.
