I Like it.
By Colin Miller
It's bigger than I had imagined, and I needed to brace it on the side by putting a pad between the printer and the wall to keep the massive printing head mechanism from swinging it back and forth on top of the stand, but I simply followed the directions plugging stuff in, installing the drivers and the optional network card, and BAM, it worked. It worked really well. The quality of prints, on good paper, surpasses anything I've gotten back from a photo lab. Granted, part of that lies in the ability to optimize the pictures directly from the raw format of the camera until printing, but we haven't even set up the calibrated monitor yet or a customized printer profile. I look forward to seeing the results we get after we get more meticulous about the process.

Solid workehorse printer
By Arstine
I've got one of these in a studio I run part time. I've gone through many many 100 foot rolls of 10" and 16" over the years and have hardly had a hiccup out of the printer.

The only time I had a problem was user error, I had the wrong paper type selected and got some nasty horizontal banding in the prints.

The ink tanks might be spendy but they last a long time. This is a very efficient printer.

I will be looking to add one to my personal studio later this year.

EPSON name is synonymous with greed. Troublesome Printer!
By I. M. ForTruth
WHEN it prints it prints beautifully. But rarely does it print at all because one or more of the ink jets is clogged. In fact every Epson printer I've had is a nightmare for this reason. I've had this printer about 6 years and commonly when anyone asks me to print something out my response is usually, "it's not working now." Yes, it's true that I sometimes go for days without printing, but unless you're a Kinkos, most small offices or individuals will not necessarily use the printer every day, especially one meant for hi-end quality output (rather than for printing out an invoice). If Epson designed user head-cleaning with a toothpick or something into the machine it would be one thing. And when I use the built-in cleaning functions a lot of ink is wasted (which Epson enjoys!). Of course the ink costs are the biggest rip-off and this is sinful--though all printer ink is overpriced. Imagine having to spend $300 to refill your inks! I have found, however, that the G&G compatible inks (that I started using after about 3 years) work just as well as the Epson--although they also clog just as well. After a cumulative 13 years of Epson nightmare I'm going to leave my larger format printing to Kinkos and just get a cheapie Hewlett Packard or something. I write this with long experience on this printer and am glad to warn you away from it. Years ago Japanese companies (like Toyota) entered the US market and made their reputations on quality. Unfortunately they have learned greed from the american companies.
