The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Got pros: Great printer. The quality of the print compared to household laser printers is just fire. This is exactly the printer I was looking for. It prints excellently on cardboard 240 grams, which was previously unavailable to me on a laser printer. With its cons: Very high cost of ink. Moreover, it is unrealistic to buy branded ones in the shops of the city.

Great printer, but ink is expensive and hard to come by.

This printer is ideal for crisp, fast black and white prints. It's loud and big, but reliable. The problem is the ink refill which I needed right after closing the return window. Revain and Epson could not find a suitable product to purchase. The one I found was a whopping $495 for an XXL M02 product. Crazy. Epson, you should be ashamed.

Pros
  • Powered by PrecisionCore - next-generation inkjet technology; plus Epson's innovative interchangeable ink bag system
Cons
  • Some bugs

No! Office electronics

How about a printer that only prints in black? What? Mascara is also $80-200! I want an exchange immediately! The worst.

Pros
  • Minimal intervention - Interchangeable ink pack system prints up to 40,000 black ISO pages without changing ink packs (3); up to 830 sheets total capacity (4) with optional 2nd paper tray
Cons
  • Available in black only

A few problems but I think it's the goalkeeper.

Installation and configuration are not too complicated. Replaced the Epson Artisan 700 model and got used to very bright colors, not so bright but not so faded that I didn't want them either. Saving ink should be worth it. Fine print and images are crisp and clean. There were a couple of crashes after the first update of drivers and software on the second day and then again after a few days out of the store. But I think we're good with that now. Seems to be working fine. We like the top bin…

Pros
  • Open Platform Ready - Seamless integration with enterprise applications such as Papercut MF and other workflows; supports PCL (1) and PostScript (3)
Cons
  • Minor problems

prints well, takes up a lot of space, expensive inks - jams 25-60% of the time

This is a good printer, but it's twice the size of the competition, so it needs a LARGE table. Paper jams 25 to 60% of the time. The ink is very expensive, but there is no scanner. (The regular $79 cartridge lasted 6 months. I was told it was 3,000 pages, but I didn't have anywhere near that number. I bought a high-yield replacement cartridge for $329. It should be interesting to see this dem to explain to the boss!) And when you're running low on ink, there's no warning - so don't use that…

Pros
  • Save money - save up to 40% on cheap refill inks compared to monochrome laser toners (2).
Cons
  • Some Cons
