4.0 out of 5 stars Good printer for a good price., April 10, 2007

By	T.O. - See all my reviews

When our old panasonic printer quit working, after 12 years on continuous use, I wasn't sure if I would be able to find a dot matrix to replace it. This printer has worked great. It is fast and easy to use. We have it set up in a business application printing about 20 sheets an hour, 24 hours a day and I have not had any problems with it.

3.0 out of 5 stars FX 890, April 6, 2009

By	Mark - See all my reviews

We use the FX-890 to print all of our orders for our business and had the first one for over seven years without any problems. Once it got so old, we decided to just buy a new one. Since the day we replaced the old one, the new one never worked quite right and keeps smudging the second line. We called Epson over three times and have been on the phone with them for almost an hour every time but the problem always comes back. It seems this printer is a hit or miss...or maybe we just got a bad egg.
