Epson Stylus CX5000

Pros: Price, print quality, and features

Cons: Burns through ink, and need every cartridge to print

The Bottom Line: Great printer with solid features and decent price. However if you print a lot, look elsewhere this guy eats ink.

Review: We got this printer for our Mac about six months ago. It prints and scan great for the price. I picked it up on sale at Target for about seventy or eighty dollars. We don't use it to print photos and I would not recommend it for anything other than ...

Pros: Price, print quality

Cons: Replacement ink cartridges, speed, Epson customer service

The Bottom Line: You get what you pay for with this product. You have to take the good with the bad on this one.

Review: I purchased this product because I needed an inexpensive all-in-one. I had previously owned an Epson all-in-one and had been very satisfied with that one, so without doing much research, I purchased this one from Wal-Mart. The pros: This printer ...

Pros: Good color photo prints.

Cons: Ink system loaded with problems, plugging, out of one color and you can't print anything!

The Bottom Line: There are others in this price category with far less problems. Recommended not to buy!

Review: After six months I'm less and less satisfied with this printer. It has no ability to adjust darkness on copies. It uses some kind of tube system to get the ink to the print heads and these plug easily. They also require the continual dispensing of ink ...

Pros: PRO's - it looks nice and is affordable.

Cons: Goes through ink too quickly. Ink heads clogged in the first week.

The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this printer. The ink problems are very touchy and the fact that you have to refill all the ink cartridges can become an issue.

Review: We've had this All In One for about three weeks. It had run out of ink on week 2. No, we do not print alot of things, in fact, I'm pretty thrifty and use the "draft" quality for most things. The only reason we could think is maybe the company does not ...

Pros: Good photo print quality, has ability to monitor ink usage

Cons: Goes through a lot of ink, defaults to full color printing, prints slowly

The Bottom Line: This has great photo print quality, probably because it uses as much color ink as possible. The scan and copy functions work well, albeit slowly.

Review: I got this for free with the purchase of a camera at Staples, and wow, I can see why they're giving these away. I'm considering giving it away myself, but I'd hate to saddle someone else with the monstrous ink cartridge costs. The Basics The ...

Pros: Pretty easy to use.

Cons: Constantly runs out of ink, won't let you print without color.

Review: This printer is driving me crazy! It does 3 things (scan, copy, print) but none of them very well. It uses color ink whether or not you are actually printing in color - even if you select "black ink only" on the preferences. That means it constantly ...

Pros: Price is good and printing is quick and clear. Customer service reps are friendly.

Cons: Does not print long before hard drive problem kicks in.

Review: I purchased this product because I wanted an inexpensive all in one printer and I thought the name Epson would mean quality. Instead I have had nothing but trouble with it. I have had three replacements sent to me in the six months since I purchased ...

Pros: This printer prints beautifully.

Cons: Everything else!!!

The Bottom Line: Bottom Line: Buy a Canon. Or a Lexmark, or an HP. Maybe even buy a different Epson, but do NOT buy this printer.

Review: As everyone else has stated the printer drains ink quick. What they failed to say is that the printer won't even print unless ALL the ink tanks have ink in them. And even though I have only printed 2 color photos *to test the printer* I have TWO ...

Pros: Excellent printing

Cons: Eats up Ink Cartlidge faster than you can say, "crap"

The Bottom Line: Don't even take it if its free

Review: I bought this Epson CX5000 at frys electronic for the price of $39.99 for a refurbish model. Currently retails from $89-99 depending on which store you go to. This is not only a printer but also a scanner and a copier as well. Extremely easy to ...

Pros: Cheap. You pay for what you get... crap.

Cons: Piece of junk. Especially sucks up highly priced ink.

The Bottom Line: Piece of junk. Big guzzler of expensive Epson brand inks. Print a few pages and then spend 60 bucks for more ink. Ridiculous. To the trashcan this will go.

Review: Don't waste your good hard-earned money on this piece of junk. I bought it because it was cheap. You get what you pay for! It ran out of ink after printing about 10 pages. It sat around for a month before I ordered new inks direct from EPSON store ...
