Fantastic Quality

In my home there are 4 graphic artists, and we needed this larger scale printer in order to scan and reproduce artwork with accuracy and precision. This printer, surprisingly enough, offered us all that and more. I expected much less in color quality for a 3-color printer, however this model can compete with the 6-cartridge color units out there. Great Quality, GREAT PRICE! Well done, EPSON!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything and anything EVEN CANVAS!!!

Yes I'm not lying, buy the epson canvas cut it into a 11x17" sheet and instantly your photo looks like a lithograph print. This machine does it all, get the adobe icc profile driver and you'll never have an issue. My company did 15k copies in one month and it's still going strong. We own a WF 4530, 7010, 7520 and an artisan 1430. Which btw the Artisan 1430, can print 13x44" borderless on epson canvass. Unreal thanks epson

3 replacements during first year

I generally like this product, but have had a lot of problems with it. I do some 11x17 printing and a lot of 2-sided printing and this printer does those things well. On my original printer I had some problems with streaks appearing in large blocks of color. That was the reason why I got my first warranty replacement. Then that replacement printer started printing a solid black line on everything that went through the ADF. I then exchanged that printer for printer #3, which mangled about every 4th or 5th sheet that was fed through the ADF. I now have printer #4, which I received as a replacement just a few days before the 1-year warranty expired. I hope this latest printer holds up better. Through this whole process the service I received from Epson was very good. They agreed to replace the products without argument and the replacement printers were received promptly. On one of the service calls I got a guy who couldn't speak or understand English very well (the Epson service call center is in the Philippines), but all the others were easy to understand and work with. In summary, I like that this printer can do the things I want it to do, I generally like the quality of the printing, I am disappointed with all the problems, but I'm pleased with the way Epson resolved them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Almost Five stars

I am the clerk of my church. I have to design many specialty document for the many different programs we have. After much disgust with another company, I chose the Epson 7520 for my church. The quality of the printouts from my work was great. the only problem I have is that I have to use an old printer to print smaller envelopes. I am requested to design a lot of different envelopes and I find this to be a loss of my productivity. That is the only reason for four stars. The printer is great! I still would recommend this to printer to anyone wanting great quality and ease of use.

Good value but with annoying surprises...

The WF-7520 is probably one of the most versatile and affordable All-in-One inkjet printer/scanner/fax units Epson has ever produced. That being said, it has quirks that I didn't expect and don't like. First, if you use 2-sided printing a lot, you will be surprised to learn that you can only use this with automatic feed and hence only with regular 8.5 x 11 stock. No custom sizes. You cannot use glossy, presentation, or card stock. Too heavy. Also, the maximum weight of paper for any kind of printing is unclear at best. Hmmmm? Second, initial software install neglects to include Epson Scan, and fax, etc. which you must find manually and install one by one. Network scanning setup is no breeze either. Finally control over switching between paper trays 1 and 2 is dicey, and nearly impossible using the control panel on the unit itself. If you even know enough to change the default paper size for tray 2 to say, 11 x 17 using the Utility, sometimes it follows the paper size selected in the menu, sometimes not. There's more, but I've learned to live with these shortcomings. The unit is worth the money as is and who knows, a newer model may address these quirks already?

Great Hardware Weak Software
on April 3, 2014
Posted by: itbebeth
from Loveland, CO
Our office purchased this to replace a color laser printer. We weren't interested in an all in one, but the big selling point for us was the 11x17 automatic paper feeder. The hardware functions beautifully. It makes beautiful prints and creates high quality scans. It prints quickly and the User Interface on the machine is fairly easy to figure out.
We encountered a rather infuriating problem with the ABBYY Fine Reader software though. It completely disables all Microsoft Office 2013 software. So all of a sudden people were not able to get their email or use Word. Pretty much brought business to a halt for 3 employees for a half a day while we figured out what the issue was and how to resolve it. Turns out there's a different version for machines running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2013, but I was told by ABBYY technical support that it will NEVER work with 64-bit Microsoft Office 2013.
Which is rather disappointing. At the same time we purchased this printer we also bought 8 new computers since XP will no longer be supported. It's hard to believe that a brand new printer will not work with our brand new computers. Plus it was rather pricey and time consuming to figure this out. If it was known Epson should make the customer aware of the situation or just ditch the 3rd part software all together.
We're still deciding if we're going to keep it or return for something that is fully compatible with our new computers and software. Since all we really wanted was a color printer we will probably keep it. All of the 64-bit Microsoft Office 2013 machines can still print to it. All of the Epson software and drivers work fine, they just won't be able to use the OCR functionality.

WF-7520
on April 4, 2014

from High humidity-New Orleans
I've used this scanner printer for over a year. I've scanned over 15,500 B&W 10 x12 inch pages both sides threw the top auto feed scan section and a couple of fax batches also. I'm now scanning on table top photos in 300 dpi color from large book. The project will end when I have scanned in 13,000 pages. Once a month I have to fill the ink cartridges up even though I never used the printer to print. Every time you turn on printer it sucks ink threw head and goes to dump reservoir in order to keep heads from drying up.
If you decide to use refillable ink cartridges use the cartridge type, the ones with tubes in them will only work if you print everyday otherwise the tube type will dry your heads up in less than a year because of occasional use making your printer not economically to sent off to fix. The tube type uses suction, and if a tube in the printer collapse well the ink will not flow and then dries up the heads. (Using non Epson certified cartridges will nullify the warrantee.# There is no way to unplug a print head once it's plugged, I've tried all kinds of things that were suppose to work.
Photoshop 9&10 versions left out the Twain support, especially in 64 bit computers so I use the Photoshop CS #ver.8 2001-3) which is oldest program that doesn't have memory problem crashes and sill recognizes the Epson scanner. The home Epson WIA is recognized in newer Photoshop version, but is useless since it only scans one picture at a time and no control on how you want it scanned in.
These printers have printer tubes that split open and making the printer not work or spill ink all over your paper. I think it is when you use the tube refillable cartridges, but can't verify the reason, or it may have been the first few made and was corrected later with better cartridge head tubes.

Great workforce

I love my new Epson WorkForce @F-7520. I am a photographer and own the Epson 2200, 3800 and 9890 pro printers so I am well aware of the power of the Epson Brand. I stand by their brand and have used their printers for many years as you can see by the older versions. The ink doesn't evaporate like other brands I have used in the past. Sometimes you just have to stick with the best! You get what you pay for!
