Epson Stylus Color CX6000 All In One Printer, copier, scanner

What everyone else is saying about the ink cartridges is absolutely true. I have owned this printer for less than a month. I have printed probably about 10 - 15 color pages and 50-70 black pages on regular paper. The printer indicates that the black cartridge is empty! The black ink cartridge (T0691)costs ca. $17. This means the cost of printing (black) is about 30 cents/page! (It would be far cheaper to go to Kinko's...) I do not even want to think about how much color pages are costing--only after 10 -15 pages, all of my color ink cartridges are half empty. To make the matter worse, once the printer detects that one of the cartridges is empty, the printer does not function; Even though the last printed page looked perfectly normal and showed no signs of an empty cartridge. It simply becomes inoperative--until that supposedly-empty cartridge is replaced.

I had essentially the same problem with my previous Epson printer from the same series. I am also vaguely...Read more

This offers the best of everything, but the printer is horrible. I've had this printer less than a month and two colors are out, and I haven't printed anything but black & white e-mail messages with almost no color. The printer gives good results but the ink seems to evaporate and the cartridges ain't cheap!

Everything else works, but Epson printers are problematic. Print heads are in the machine and they fail quickly leaving you with a fax, scanner and a costly repair for a printer.

Epson print quality is very good, but the company refuses to address problems that make their printers a throw-away. Buy these components separately and buy another type of printer.

This one was a gift and I consider it junk because I now have to replace the entire thing.

Very noisy. I've used quite a few ink jet printers over the years - this is , by far, the noisiest of the bunch.

In just over a week, the black ink was gone and I printed no more than 50 - 75 pages. I bought the CX6000 to replace a Epson CX5400 that died after 2 1/2 years of fairly heavy use. Doing the same type of printing, the ink in the 5400 would last from 6 - 8 weeks or longer, NOT just a week.

1/4 tank of each of the colored inks was used just to do a nozzle check. Later I printed some maps - the only color on them was a few outlines made with high lighter. Then I printed two approx 4 x 6 colored pictures. I was warned that there wasn't enough colored ink left to print another page like the one I had just printed. Pretty expensive pictures!

I returned the CX6000 and bought a Canon Pixma MP600 which got wonderful reviews here on Amazon and computer magazines. So far, I'm loving the Canon printer.
