They sell these at cost and make the money on the ink. This socalled tie-in is against the law but the FTC won't take these guys on. The have a fine monopoly on $1000/cup ink sales. If you leave an empty cart in the printer, the ink will dry and clog the head making the printer useless and EOL.
Epson nx400 driver vista full#
All the cleaning operations soak a pad and when it's full epson website says the printer is end of life-HA! This is ironic since they are wasting ink all the time. Cost of ink is 1$/ml or 20drops, that is 1040$/cup of ink-wow! It's a scam to sell ink. great if you like kicking yourself and bending over.Ĭons: Gobbles ink on purpose, shutsdown everything when one cart is empty, uses color ink when you are only using black, cleans itself constantly wasting ink, smartchip makes sure only epson can sell you HUGELY expensive ink, Carts are only about 20% of their volume filled with ink, ie 13ml. security chip for epson only cart monoploy. Pros: Great if you like noise and filling trash cans with chip protected ink carts, dies if you don't replace an empty cart asap, dead if ink pad for cleaning fills up, loves to waste ink and clean itself all the time, slow, wasteful, hugely expensive $1000/cup ink. Overall Review: Most of my cons are just nit picky little things here and there, this is definately an excellent printer so far and for the price, i would have bought the printer again if i had to do it all over again. But, to sum it all up Epson took care of the problem, hands down.
the second time i called the girl told me that indeed that the guy had made a request to have them overnighted.(not a big deal). although i may have misinterrpreted 2 cartridges.(i think not). I called epson they were very helpful and said they would overnight 2 cyan cartridges to me.it ended up they sent me 1 cartridge regular fedex ground (oh no, i absolutely hate fedex).
When i received the printer the Cyan cartridge was DOA. Printer buttons while definately well thought out, do not respond unless you over eggerate the pushing down of the buttons. Great customer service from Epson (see cons)Ĭons: This printer is pretty loud when it prints, and i dont think it quite makes the 34 ppm it advertises, although it is very fast. Awesome bang for your buck when you compare to simular brands, you cant beat the PPM that this printer offers for the price. Supports many media cards and works good as a cross platform printer, windows, mac, and linux. Nice lcd integration and easy to use on printer buttons (see cons). it does not come with a usb cable as it states in the specs, and as most printers do not include, but it takes the standard printer usb cable so its all good. Pros: This product prints pretty quick (see cons) compared to my old lexmark i had, this is my first epson and it as just as good, if not better than my previous 56 or 6 lexmark printer i have owned.
