I've owned this printer for about eight years and bought it because I had owned an Epson LQ series printer that was a trouble free workhorse. Wow, what a difference...
1. The paper pickup never worked reliably from day one and ultimately stopped working altogether. Fortunately, the manual feed slot still works.
2. Epson's quick drying inks are apparently VERY quick drying as you cannot let this printer sit idle for very long or else the heads clog. Head clogging has been a constant battle. The inks are also expensive.
3. The paper trays are very flimsy and fragile.
4. Epson designers figure that people buying large format printers do not want to print on 2+ inches on one side of the paper !!!???
5. The printer is noisy in a very annoying but not extremely loud sort of way.
6. Head cleanings are slow, which coupled with #5 and #2, lead to general unhappiness.
Any future Epson products I will test drive before buying. On the plus side, when the printer prints, the results are pretty good.
