Disappointed
on September 10, 2014

While the printer works fine on standard letter printing it is absolutely dismal in envelope printing! I want to throw it out the window every time I try to print #10 envelopes. It jams continuously and is extremely noisy to boot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No booklet printing
on April 10, 2013
Posted by: frustrated

This printer is great in many ways -- but if you want to do booklet printing of any sort -- don't buy it!!!
I bought it specifically to print 9x12 music in booklet form on 12x18 paper. It will not do it! I spent over 4 hours on the phone with the "experts" who couldn't figure out why. I click "2-sided printings" and "settings" and "booklet" but the option of a "center binding" is grayed-out. I was finally told that the problem was that I needed a 7520 instead of a 7510. So I got that one -- still doesn't work! And it doesn't work on 11x17 paper either, which is the standard for booklet printing. In fact, the only booklet printing you can do with a center binding is on 8 1/2x11 paper (or A4) -- and how often do you want a booklet that's 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches? This a terrible design flaw. Almost all other printers have booklet capability. It would be a fairly simple thing to program in and issue a new driver, but no one seemed willing to do that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Initially happy, then...

This machine does print decent text and acceptable (not professional) photos. It is also pretty fast. I also like the extra large scanner glass and wide print size. However, there are several shortcomings.
The machine sends and receives faxes but there is no caller ID built in. (How much more would this have cost to program in???)
The machine is pretty loud when printing. There is no quiet mode.
I am aware that the printer manufacturers sell these at a loss and make it up through the sale of ink cartridges. But this machine can really leave you hanging in a bad position if ONLY ONE cartridge runs out of ink. Because it will NOT PRINT AT ALL even if all other cartridges are full. That's right. You can not even print one letter in black text if the yellow cartridge runs out. So you must keep spare cartridges in all colors close by at all times. Also the cartridges I purchase are the T127's which are supposed to be the extra high capacity type. I would hate to see how quickly the 'normal' cartridges run out. This thing drinks ink like Koolaide in the summertime.
But the biggest headache is the inability to print when only one cartridge is empty.

WORKFORCE 7520
on May 17, 2013
Posted by: SAM
from united states
I have not bought a Epson printer in 20 years, saw the workforce and bought it.
Setup was ok did a USB connection and it would not find the printer and took a couple of tries . I find this all in one NOT very user friendly, 1st the auto select of the paper tray does not work, I print a lot of 11X17 that comes from tray 2 and have to go in and select tray 2 and yes this is done after I have already selected the paper size. problem 2 If I make a copy of a 11 x17 it will only come out on a 8.5 X11 I still have not got by this issue even going in to the menu and selecting the paper size (auto select not working) . I think if Epson fixed these issues this would be a spot on device

Like my 7520, BUT
on February 18, 2013
Posted by: Bear
from Minnesota
The 7520 meets most of my needs BUT it is slower than expected and duplex printing set-up is a bear. Second page on brochures designed in our office prints upside down and the instruction manual doesn't help. The online instruction manual is difficult to understand when trying to solve this problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

disappointed

I have owned nothing but Epson printers for over 15 years. I used to be a professional photographer and at one time owned 6 Epsons at one time for printing photos. I've always loved them. However, I've had real problems with the WF-7520 printer head. There are several nozzles that clog constantly. I've done 25+ head cleanings (wasting a lot of expensive ink in the process), but once they come clean, they clog up again within a few sheets. I've simple resigned to having prints with 'streaking' on them. Other than this issue, I really like the functionality of the printer. I'd send it in for a warranty claim, but the packaging and shipping of the unit will cost as much as i paid for it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

piece of junk

I guess I should've listened to other reviews regarding this printer. This has been such a waste of time. I have spent more time dealing with so called "paper jambs". It wont load the paper through, not NO paper jamb. I would NOT recommend this product, in fact I will probably throw in the trash just after having it 4 months or so. THE LAST EPSON I PURCHASE
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quality of the prints and the large scanning area
on March 23, 2015
Posted by: Suzanne
from Canoga Park, CA
This printer is the second Epson I have owned & because of the quality of the prints that I got off the first one it was the first printer I looked at to see if I could find one that would fit all my needs. The first thing that caught my eye was the large scanning bed that it came with. Most a-i-o printers scan 8.5 X 11 or 8.5 X 14 which limits my ability to scan the illustrations I do. This one scans 11 X 17 which is perfect for me because I rarely draw any larger than that so I don't have to go to to an outside company and pay them to scan an illustration for me increasing the cost that I have to then pass onto my clients. The scanner does a beautiful job the colors match the original piece perfectly even if it is printed on plain paper to show the client as an example of what it would look like at different sizes. The Epson's papers are great and make your illustration look better than it is sometimes, but they are expensive so I love the fact that I can print on inexpensive paper and get the same quality print and color matching as the original drawing and don't have to use the high quality paper until I am ready to sell it or use it as an ad or whatever the client wants it for.
Someone said to me not to long ago that Epson's are really loud and I had to laugh because there are times that I have to go over to the printer and see if it is printing because it is that quiet.
For everything that this printer offers I thought the price was extremely reasonable and that was another reason why I bought it, the first Epson I bought cost as much as this one but all it did was print, with this one I didn't have to buy a scanner which I could not find at the size this one scans at unless I was ready to put out 4 or 5 times the price of the All in One Printer. The other thing that I like is I can buy a roll of paper and print out 13" X 19" prints, so you can print out your own banner for a family member's homecoming, birthday, or whatever the occasion calls for.
Overall I am very pleased with the Work-Force 7520 and the quality of the prints, the amount of paper I can put in each one of the 2 paper trays that can hold as small as 4" X 6" and up to to 11" X 17". It holds more paper, up to 500 sheets, than any other paper trays of any other printer on the market. It also prints 2 sides with ease, scans up to 11" X 17". The ink drys so quickly you don't have to worry about handling the print right out of the printer, they are water proof, smudge proof, and with the durabrite ink it doesn't fade up to 100 years. Something that was sorely needed in home/business printers. I sell my prints right off the Epson and no one has ever been displeased. I can watch TV and/or work on my Smart TV and wirelessly tell it to print out my next project.
If someone were to ask me what printer to buy I would say get the Epson WF-7520, you won't be sorry, or any Epson for that matter.
