Epson CX8400 All-In-One InkJet Printer

This printer seemed like a good buy for $99.00 at staples, but within 2 weeks the printer was out of ink. I thought maybe they were "sample" or "demo" cartridges, but replacement cartridges didn't last long either. Replacement cartridges have a chip installed to limit use, as does the factory cartridges, a bad thing. Difficult to change ink cartridges. The utility for cleaning the head works poorly, and after multiple cleanings it still prints poorly. After purchasing refillable cartridges, still going through huge amounts of ink. Poor print quality, overall a very poor value for your money. Not a hard printer to use, scanner is ok, but I have used much better. Software is acceptable. My biggest complaint would have to be the ink. Epson wants you to purchase only epson ink, very expensive I might add. One other issue with the ink is that the printer will say that the cartridge is empty, and the printer wont print, but when you pull the cartridge out, it is actually half full! What a scam. I plan on selling this nearly new unit ASAP! Don't purchase at any price, poor value for the money!
