No question, this printer produces great prints, I am delighted with that aspect of it.
It does have some drawbacks, its pretty noisy, but whatever it does, it does it quickly.
Difficulty in inserting the paper in the rear, I am getting the hang of it now, the scans that print out are outrageously good, so are the prints made on glossy.
I hit one snag that took a little doing, when printing text if I changed the lettering style and size, the printer would not accept it, after a little looking around, found the problem, it was my fault, now, all is well.
A very nice printer, that works well and is certainly worth the money.
I would buy it again, had an hp that cost about the same as the Epson, the Epson has is all over the HP

I have been using this EPSON Workforce 520 All-in-one unit on test for some time now and this printer has all the bells and whistles one needs to get the work done in a small home office and I am pleased to say that it does it pretty well for its price.

The printer' text printing is FAST (But tad nosier) and it can hold up-to 100 sheets in the rear which is somewhat limited to big enterprises but this is aimed for smaller business and 100 pages is more the sufficient for 2-3 days in most cases, even though it is slightly difficult to load all that paper in the rear but once you get used to it the results are satisfactory.

Graphics print quality was good enough for most business needs or at home, Please do not expect studio quality photo prints for that there are dedicated photo printers which does that well, for an All-in-one unit, the photo and text quality is very much satisfactory.

Scanning speeds were good and the image scanned output was accurate...Read more

I rarely give reviews unless the item is outragiously good or outragiously bad and take my word for it this is the worst piece of junk the Good Lord has ever put on this earth. I use it in a very light office environment and am constantly plagued with paper jams and error messages. Now the wireless seems to have given up the ghost but that may be a computer problem. The thing that really makes me mad is, with no exaggeration, I must have spent $200 on ink in the last six months!! I wish I had a page count so I could prove how lightly it is used. I feel like I got ringed in with a low come-on price then zapped with the ink price. Oh, and when it tells you it needs a cartridge replaced YOU CANNOT PRINT ANYMORE!! We all know that when a printer says there's no ink there is alway a little more but this one crosses it's arms, stamps it feet and goes home with the ball. Shut me down completely. I'm so fed up I'm going to throw this one out and get an HP or a Cannon. My other two...Read more
