1.0 out of 5 stars Noisy, Drinks the Ink, September 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Epson Stylus Color 640 Ink Jet Printer (Office Product)
If you want a noisy slow printer, purchase an Epson 600 Series. I do not print that much (maybe 300 sheets a year) and this printer has gone through 6 sets of cartridges during the 1.5 years I've had it. The heads clog easily as well, since they are fixed within the printer. HP Printers replace the heads each time you replace a cartridge.

1.0 out of 5 stars Money Can Be Spent Better Elsewhere, August 8, 2002
This review is from: Epson Stylus Color 640 Ink Jet Printer (Office Product)
This printer is not worth the hastle. It eats ink cartridges like there is no tomorrow, breaks often, and does not have 1/8th the print quality of the newer inkjet printers on the market. My advice: spend the extra money to get a newer, higher quality printer in the first place rather than spending your money on this cheaper one now and then having to buy the newer one anyway when this one breaks.

1.0 out of 5 stars No go for quality, December 27, 1999

DW (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Epson Stylus Color 640 Ink Jet Printer (Office Product)
I have had nothing but problems with my Epson printer since the day I bought it. I have had constant smearing of the black ink, even though I have changed the cartridge and have used only the Epson brand, and have cleaned it many times, which, by the way, eats up a lot of ink each time you go through the process. Also, towards the bottom of the page, there is a line that doesn't print at all. This makes for the bottom half of a sentence or page number to be cut off. When I have talked to Epson tech support (on several occasions), they blame the line not printing on the margins set on my word-processing program. However, this explanation doesn't account for why the printer still prints below this particular faulty line. As for the ink, they tell me to clean the machine, which I have done a million times. It works for a few printings and then goes back to fuzzy printing. I give this printer a total thumbs down. Go for an HP. Also, my roommates had trouble printing clearly with the Epson 440 and had to return it. One last note, the machines are cheap when you buy them but the ink cartridges are small and very expensive. $21-$25 a pop for a Black ink cartridge every 5 months adds up. Also, to actually talk to someone in tech support, you have to pay for the long-distance call. Not a good deal all around.
