Epson Stylus DX7450

we have had this printer for a few years and i have to say i wont get another one.

the picture quality is ok from time to times but other times it is full of lines even if it isnt clogged ...... and no it isnt on bad quality prints.

the ink for this printer is stupidly expensive at least £30 for a multi pack that dosent seem to last very long no matter what you print or how much you print. you see every time you turn on an epson printer it goes through a salve cleaning feature which will use lots of ink before you even print somthing. after so many pages the printer will say its out of ink even though their is lods of ink still in the ink tank. it dose this because it dosent know how much ink is in the catridge it just guesses and because of the chip on epsons and only epsons you cant refill it or keep printing even if its the blue that has run out it cant print anything including black text. and after so many pages the printer will stop working becaue it will say all that ink that is inside the printer from all the cleaning cycles its stored has filled up the printer so it want you to pay epson to clean it which cost more than just buying a new printer.

the printer is to noisy and installing the printer is the hardest part. the printer never wants to be installed on the computer because everytime you try it fails and than you have to do it all over again :( god i with i stuck with hp!

Great printer but hates compatable ink. Tried several. Sometimes it uses the whole cartidge then other times its telling me it needs a new cartrigde when it is still half full. But best british compatables are only about £2.50.
