Cheaper Than Chips, But Just As Nasty
These days almost any photo printer will produce prints that are indistinguishable from the real thing (whatever that is!) Similarly, any scanner should be able to capture with a degree of fidelity that would have been hard to achieve even five years ago.

So, the value of a device like this comes from how it performs in its intended role, rather than from the quality of the results.

As far as this machine is concerned there is good news and bad news.

The good news.

* It's cheap.
* It's bulky.
* The four ink cartridges are individually replaceable and also cheap.
* The quality (on scanning, copying and printing) is good.
* The scanning software is comprehensive, with image correction and the facility to scan multiple images in one pass.
* Scanning is quite fast.

The bad news.

* It's noisy. Very noisy.
* Printing speeds are very slow.
* Starting from cold takes forever, making printing single jobs an extremely time consuming process.
* There is no useful draft mode, unless you count "practically invisible" as useful.
* The black ink reservoir is the same capacity as the colour reservoirs, meaning it will run out with frightening regularity.
* The angled scanning surface doesn't hold the originals in place as you close the lid.
* There is a distinct lack of detailed printing options.

This is a cheap but not so cheerful solution to home printing and scanning. I bought it for a one off job (scanning huge numbers of old photographs) and will happily consign it to the spoil heap of history as soon as the job is done.

And I won't be buying Epson in a hurry again.

Will cost you lots to run. Not economical.
The printer arrives with some ink cartridges. Immediately i installed them the low ink light flashed and i was not able to do any printing. I phoned Epson and they said they supply them with only a small amount of ink- understatement.
The size of the print cartridges are so small. The black is the same small size as the colour cartidges. I went to a refill shop to refill my epson originals and they informed me that they were only able to refill the cartridges when they had over 40% ink. This makes it not viable.
The replacement cartriges, which i bought through Amazon, did not work in this printer. so even less options.
To be honest, i would rather have an older printer, with decent sized cartridges. I would avoid this printer.

Epson again
When the time came to replace my printer I looked at the reviews and I was surprised by the adverse comments on the DX4400. Despite these I went ahead and bought it - 5 stars to Amazon for their v. fast and efficient service. The DX is a little noisier than my last Epson but nothing to complain about. Touch wood the initial cartridges are still going strong, installation was easy and | am satisfied with my purchase
