The Epson 545 does do what it's supposed to do and it is easy to use. But it is missing a few things that my old printer (Epson Stylus Photo R300) had. The older printer had a display showing how much toner was left. This was very convenient, because I know what toners I needed to stock up on. My newer (545) printer never displays this information until I run out ; only at that time does it show me which toner needs to be replaced. Also, while the printing qualities are comparable, two faint parallel horizontal stripes appear on the colored documents of the 545, both in printing from the computer and from making copies, and I don't know how to get rid of them. I am still learning my way around, however.

This printer was very easy to set up so I had it operational in no time. The print quality is excellent for both black & white and color. I enjoy having the ability for two sided printing. Overall an excellent and affordable choice for a home office printer.

I am very pleased with this printer, I have used others, but was unhappy when I updated my software for my computer, there wasn't an software update for my printer, so could not used that printer anymore. I had first started out with Epson printer before the other brand one, so I then purchased this printer, and it is wonderful, does all I need.

Works better than I expected for an inexpensive machine. Standard ink cartridges have lasted a long time.

Overall, I am pleased with the quality of the printer. I bought it based on its reviews and price. I use it for my tax preparation business. I find it makes color copies just beautifully. Its big draw back is the cost of ink replacement. I have come to learn there is an inverse relationship between cost of printer and cost of ink replacement. The cheaper the printer, the more you will pay for new toner cartridges. As you can imagine, printing tax returns goes through ink pretty quickly. Fortunately, they are black and white. I did need to buy more of a workhorse printer for this purpose. I use the Epson for the less frequently needed color copies, and as a fax machine. So it was still worth it to me and does a good job on this. However, if you need a printer for large and frequent print jobs, you definitely want to think about ink replacement costs before you purchase.

The ink is too expensive, wouldn't recommend it

If I knew how much it was going to cost to purchase replacement cartridges and how often I would have to replace them, I would have bought a more expensive laser printer model. In the long run, they are less expensive.
I appreciate the wireless features but even this does not overcome my dismay over having to constantly replace these tiny little cartridges. This applies to the higher capacity cartridges that Epson offers for my printer as well.
Next time, I'll pay more for the better product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This printer does everything I need one to do. It connected to my WiFi with ease and the print quality and speed is perfect for me. I find it pretty user friendly. I have not had to refer to the online instructions yet and only had one job that took me a few minutes how to do it Whether this if your first printer or not, you will find it a good quality for the money.
