4.0 out of 5 stars
Good printer, but high total cost of ownership,
By Erik (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Epson Artisan 700 Photo All-in-One Printer (Black) (C11CA30201) (Office Product)
I like the printer, and I would recommend it. My only real complaint is the total cost of ownership is high. Order a set of ink at $60 when you order the printer, because within a couple weeks of starting it up, you'll need to replace them.
Pros: 1. Instructions were great for wireless install. 2. Prints quality is good. 3. Machine looks great. 4. The printer has never failed to print. Cons: 1. 6 individual ink cartridges at $10 each, or $15 each for high capacity. 2. The printer's initial startup uses about 1/2 of the ink that ships with the printer. This is explained in the manual. 3. There is no information on the difference between the high capacity ink cartridges and the standard. 4. I don't think you'll find aftermarket Epson ink like you can with some brands. 5. Sometimes the printing takes a couple minutes to get started. 6. I get a lot of error messages, mostly "The printer has detected some print head nozzles are clogged. To help with the nozzle recovery please wait 6 hours. Then try printing again." Helpdesk's suggestion was that I go into the menu and turn off the print nozzle check. That is an odd solution, but the printer continues to print fine. 7. With the number of print errors I get, and the time it takes to start printing (sometimes), I've never felt totally comfortable with the printer. But helpdesk was responsive, and I've got the box if I need to send it back to Epson.

Very good but has drawbacks,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Epson Artisan 700 Photo All-in-One Printer (Black) (C11CA30201) (Office Product)
I have owned this printer for about a week now. It is the third Epson printer I have owned. Fundamentally, in terms of image quality this is a very good product. Printed documents, photos, DVDs, as well as photo copies and scans all look very good. I am impressed by how good the images look for how little money this printer costs. I am also impress by how fast it prints. It truly delivers when it comes to basic functionality and printing a high quality image. Also, the CD/DVD printing feature is much improved over earlier printers in the Epson line.
There are some important drawbacks though. First, Epson needs to either stop using six independent ink carts. or make the carts twice their current size. The six cart. system has no practical purpose other than to increase the amount of money consumers spend on ink. In two days I had to replace my black ink cart. If you purchase this product expect to pay a lot for ink over the life of the printer. In addition, if you print a high volume of artwork, or photos, etc. You are most likely better off with another product. The second drawback is that this is that there are several flimsy plastic parts on the printer. For example, all the moving parts of the paper trays are very fragile, and will no doubt snap off if not handled with care. The third drawback was the software install. I am an advanced computer user and I have not had a bad software install in many years, until, that is, I tried to install the software that came with this printer. After the first bad install, I uninstalled, and then manually deleted all remaining Epson related files. After that I reinstalled the software. Again, the installation was incomplete. Both times the install stopped prior to completion with no system error message or obvious culprit hindering the install. Regardless, enough software installed that I am using the printer but there is some bad behavior That I have yet to work through. I purchased the product because I am an author and filmmaker. I rely on my printers do to a lot for me, I print a fair amount of photo based artwork, DVD faces, and documents. While I am very happy with the way everything looks. I can't recommend this printer if what you are looking for is an easy to use, low maintenance product. If you are looking to get a lot out of a single product and don't mind putting up with some potential problems then consider it. But consider other products as well.

Exceptional all in one!,
By Midwest Keiki (Urbana, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Epson Artisan 700 Photo All-in-One Printer (Black) (C11CA30201) (Office Product)
I ordered this for what seemed to be the perfect mix of features that would be convenient for my family (occasional copying and scanning, printing color output for the kids, and printing photos). The wireless connection feature made it possible to not clutter the family room (already home to a laser printer and desktop).
OK, it's beautiful just sitting there - but it also works like a dream. Setting it up to add it to my secured pre-N network was a breeze. Printing over the wireless network worked fine (even with my printer being 2 rooms away from my router). The output is quick, and the prints on ultra- or premium photo paper are beautiful. The included tray lets you load regular and photo paper (and just select the one you want) for printing. The unit has a card reader, that lets you print directly from a card. A cool feature is that you can also scan directly to a card as well. For some reason, I thought it could scan across the network, but a call to (very polite) tech support confirmed that this cannot be done. The scanner seems to be a bit slower (in auto mode) than my Epson Perfection 3170, but I haven't compared it systematically. This is perfect for a home office, and for a family with kids.
