PROS: Print quality and speed are very good.
CONS: The horror of high cost ink consumption!
This printer was bundled with a new digital camera I purchased. Now I know why. No one even remotely familiar with its costly ink appetite would knowingly buy it. I was able to get ten 8x10 color photos and about 50 pages of text out of the standard 78-series cartridges before they hit empty. Meaning that each print cost about eight dollars. They would cost even more if you buy individual ink cartridges.
What is even more galling is that, according to a rep at Cartridge World, Epson has designed the cartridges to hold less ink, AND be non-refillable.
Sorry Epson, but I'm going to find a considerably less expensive alternative. Next time I'm offered a "free" Epson printer, I'll pass.
