Epson has been known for years to use drop on demand ink technology giving us pixelless printing, but here for the sub-100 usd price you get much more than a color printer. They did strip some of the more corporate printer frills like network interfaces and wireless, but those appear in their more expensive models. This is definitely the entry line (320) with the 323 and 326 series printers offering more features.0 - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! While every manufacturer I have bought or reviewed so far has "high capacity" and "low capacity" ink (for more profit) - this is the FIRST product I have found that shipped with the high capacity cartridges (the 125 series) The 124 series are the low capacity. Epson knocks this one out of the park for filling the tanks full from the factory instead of giving you enough ink for 100 pages before you must go to the store. It's getting heavy use and the ink has not even started to go down yet. It's good for the environment since the ink tanks are the same size - you just don't throw out the ones that came with the printer after 100 sheets have printed and head to the profit center, i mean, supply store to buy fullsize ink cartridges.1 - you get a fax. And not just a fax, a high resolution fax - very high, and not just black and white - COLOR too!2 - you get a coppier - we're pretty much accustomed to that feature by now in small printers3 - you get a color scanner with sheetfeed ability - nice at times! And on top of all that it even comes with an OCR package to convert your paper to a paperless society4 - you get 4 tanks of ink - not just one - this way when one runs dry it's a $10 replacement. However, you do have $40 worth of ink in the printer. Kodak uses a single 4 chamber ink, much worse of a design since when one color is empty you toss the remaining ink out.5 - while not quite as fast at zipping out the paper as my kodak printer I reviewed for vine (and it was close to 300 bucks) it does a respectable 4 pages black/ 2 color per minute of laser quality printing (kodak's fastest mode unfortunately produced banding from going different directions with the printhead) UPDATE: After alot of usage i'm finding the epson printer is faster than specified and very happy with it.6 - ink price is relatively comparable - for a full kodak refill you are looking at a MSRP of 27 bucks - for epson the MSRP is 40 bucks, and I suspect discounts are on the epson, but not kodak.7 - finally - smudge proof color ink! Ever run a highlighter over an inkjet printout only to smear the highlighted text into a wipe? It wont happen here (and to be fair neither on the kodak)So the biggest win here is the pricepoint of the printer. Kodak's claim to fame is that their 13 dollar cheaper ink refills will save in the long time, which may be true if you buy paper by the 10 ream box, but I don't print that much - It took 6 months to use up kodak's trial cartriges they shipped with the printer. To break the two hundred dollar difference you would need to use ALOT of kodak ink. Plus the kodak does not have a fax, much less a color fax, for under a benjamin. Additionally, kodak encodes the proper inking recipe on the back of their photo paper, so you must use kodak paper to make things work right or your prints will be a tad off. Cheap ink, but expensive proprietary paper on the kodak system.I think Epson has integrated the all in one here very well. If you print photos, business documents & text, etc then you should be very pleased with this unit. I will say it is a tad slower than Kodak at getting big (30-50 page) documents printed, but I normally print screenshots. Although I was impressed with what vine sent in the kodak offering, I am considering removing a star from it because this offers so much more. There are some considerations however - Kodak integrated a small viewscreen, and kodak integrated wifi printing, both of which are omitted at the entry level 320 epson, so perhaps the kodak printer does give you a bit extra. The 5x price HP business inkjet 2600 uses 4 ea inks (and the black is big for text) - makes good color, has 2 paper trays integrated into the win7 driver so you can do 8.5x11 and 11x17 paper without walking to the printer to change it, and it has a built in duplexer versus the manual duplex that both epson and kodak do - you print 1/2 of the pages, put them back in the right way after you learn, then print the other side. HP did a good job on the business inkjet system, however the ink was a bit pricy. Their claim to fame was that when a nozzle on a printhead failed, the printer knew it and averaged it out so no banding. again, you can buy 5 of these for 1 of the HP units.

This printer is absolutely amazing for the price. It is kind of disgusting, I think, that you are almost financially better off throwing this printer away when you run out of ink and buying a whole new printer. The ink's cost (since there are 5 cartridges) will cost almost as much as this printer does on sale. What kind of sense does that make??? Ugh.Anyway, I think the printer itself is a wonderful deal for the consumer, and perfect for someone who just wants to print low volume items, but, the ink is a wonderful deal FOR THE PRODUCER OF THE INK.My last printer, a multifunction HP, purchased four years ago cost almost 10 times as much as this printer -and yes, it is a lot higher quality, quicker, and wireless, but if my printer broke today I would probably buy something a lot cheaper with the same functions as this printer.PROS:COST OF THE PRINTER-this is the cheapest-non-piece-of-junk-multifunction-printer that I've ever seen. The cost might get a little cheaper, but there is so much technology in this I can't imagine it could drop more than another twenty bucks or so.FEATURES OF THE PRINTER -This will fax, print, scan, and make color copies. Note: Regarding scanning, it took me a while to figure out how to do it (because I usually don't read the instructions unless I have to) but you can only SCAN by clicking on the printer software icon ON YOUR COMPUTER, not the printer. (The software comes with the printer and must be installed). With this printer you MUST have a computer to scan: you cannot just scan an image directly to a memory card without a computer. I used to do this all the time for my higher end printer so it was a little confusing. On the other hand, you can make copies (B&W and COLOR) without a computer, just insert your document, push the button on the printer, and off you go.SETUP IS EASY -this is the case with many printers, but I wanted to point it out. You get simple "getting started instructions" and I had no issues with software install or printing. Pretty painless.But, as you might expect, because of the cost, this printer isn't perfect.CONS:VERY, VERY, VERY SLOW -if you are only printing for leisure, and have a couple of minutes to wait, then no worries. The text printing (on highest quality) is slow -just like the dot matrix printer I had in the early nineties. And, if you print a picture on high quality, expect to wait up to what seems like 5 minutes for the page to come out. That is a LONG time! Forget printing pictures in a hurry. Note: if you are going to be printing school or work papers on this thing I urge you to consider a more expensive, quicker model, because you are going to be waiting around a lot to print these off, and it is not a good printer if you have time constraints. (On my aforementioned dot matrix printer that I once had, it took me thirty minutes to print a thirty page paper. Nobody has that kind of time when you are rushing off to a class...)COST OF THE INK -there are five cartridges, and when you need to refill them you are going to pay 80% of the original printer cost. The printer is like your Mach 3 Turbo razor, and the ink cartridges are the refillable blades. You are going to be paying many times the printer cost over time in ink costs. Is this a fault, specifically, of this printer? No. It is the manufacturer who wants consistent revenue over time. You get a super cheap printer and pay the company back over time with the unnecessarily expensive inks. My take on this is if you are buying this printer, the low cost is important to you -so you might consider buying generic or refilled ink cartridges to cut the ink cost in half.NOT WIRELESS -ok, I am not putting down the printer here, it is so cheap that I wouldn't expect to have wireless, but if you do want multiple people in the house printing to this printer from laptops or other computers in other rooms, DON'T buy this printer. If, however, you just need a printer for one computer in one room, or just want it because it can scan or make copies, then this is the one for you.If you only need to use this printer for leisure (and not work or school) then the cost of the printer and the functions of this printer can't be beat. But if speed and wireless capability are important to you, I urge you to consider a more advanced/expensive model from either Epson or HP.

print, scan (into editable text), copy, and fax in one $80 machine. it all works superbly. i have absolutely no complaints with the functionality of the product. it delivers as promised. even comes with ink. the only thing i thought was random was that it didn't come packaged with a usb-printer friendly cord. maybe the assumption is that everyone already has one? find that hard to believe. also, overall product is a little bigger than i would have liked it to be, but maybe that's more a function of small dimensions of my nyc apt. also, overall product seems to lack sturdiness. but that's a minor complaint.
