Epson WorkForce 435 Color Inkjet Wireless All-in-One Printer with Fax (C11CB45201)

I purchased this all-in-one printer for use in my home office. I also own the Epson R3000 photo printer and have found that particular printer extremely reliable. I purchased the 435 for the purpose of printing simple documents, mostly in black ink. I have only owned the printer for a few days and have already decided it will go back to Amazon.

If you use this with a mac be sure to download the driver from the website and not the one on the disc that it comes with it. This printer works decently. It prints quickly and scans fairly quickly. The top loaded automatic scanner/copier sometimes get's james if you only load one piece of paper in it at a time. It works better with a small stack of papers. For mac users you will have to use the scanning software that came with your mac like Image Capture or Preview. All-in-all it's a decent printer. I would defiantly buy it if I had a windows computer. I might shop around some more if I get another one for a mac computer.

setup is super easy but the paper handling is awful. both the paper feeder and the automatic document feeder jam not infrequently.
