My Epson work force 545 has been dependable and produced great color documents. It has been easy to learn how setup, connect and operate both the scanning and printing functions. I the quality of the scan document have been very good! I liked that the ink cartridges can be replaced one at a time for black and all the colors and they seem to have a long life producing many copies. I would recommend this Epson to anyone looking for a all in one printer. Tha only function I have not tried or used is faxing instead scan and email.
Overall this is a good printer. I bought it because it is advertised as Mac compatible and is small enough to fit on my printer shelf. My old printer had OCR, optical character recognition, and I miss OCR because I prepare handouts for classes and sometimes need to quote sources. It would be nice not to key in longer passages. It seems to go through ink fast. The one problem I have is that the iMac loses the connection at times. I will print one doc. Then if I need to make a copy before printing another doc, the connection may be lost. I would be happy to hear suggestions for OCR and for maintaining the connection.
I have found this product to be the most technically advanced, user friendly, and reasonably priced printer I have ever owned.
The installation and customization was easy and it does what is advertised it will do. I especially like the wireless feature where I can print from my two computers (Windows XP & Windows 7), and my iphone. Also, having it's own email address, allowing me to email documents directly to it just tickles me to death!!!
I have already recommended this printer to several friends.
I have had this printer for over a year. It is a very good printer for what I do. It prints pictures and photos at the three star level. If you want to use the WIFI feature you will need your geek card or have a friend who has one. Overhall I like the printer. Ink cartriges have good use life and ordering them on line is easy, fast and cost effective.
The printer is fast and prints good quality. However I was disappointed to find out that the ink is not compatiable with overhead projector transparencies. This is is one of the reasons that I purchased a new printer. Also when I enlarge an image I do not know where the image will be located on the the new copy.
