I like this printer a lot. I bought it because it said it printed really fast. I don't know what I"m doing wrong but it prints really slow. It's kind of loud, but it very nicely built and I love the horizontal print feature which saves space.

This is working well but seems to run out of ink rather more quickly than I wish. I just replaced the big black one and now two others are showing as nearly empty. I

The ink is good. No problems there but something started blotching (little spots of ink) on the paper. Don't know if it is me or my printer. I would suggest getting the 240 XXL even though it is more expensive because the 240 XL runs out quickly. The 240 XXL seems to be a better deal. I do not use anything but Canon because I'm afraid something will happen. Canon gives us cheaper printers and gets their money back in ink cartridges but better than other printer brands I've had. This was not for heavy-duty office printing so be aware. It is for home use.

Fast printing. I'm still using the starter cartridge. I've had a couple problems with the wifi printing but I believe it was due to my router settings. Works now and it's incredibly reliable.

The cartridge runs out of ink very fast. I don't even do a lot of printing before the printer says I have to get another one.

The ink is fine, but it runs out fast and the printer will not work if you do not use this original cartridge.
I got the printer for $50, I already spend hundred of dollars on cartridges.

These toner packets do not seem to last very long.  I don't have the page count that I am getting but the printer is going through ink faster than the pathetic HP printers I had before. Just saying.

Seems to be a great buy, however the ink runs out very fast.  I have been printing our 4x6 photos to send to family over the past few weeks and have needed to replace all ink.  I will keep better tabs on how long each last and how many photos I print per cartridge.  The one issue I see with the cartridges is they have some sort of foam inside them (I am sure for a good reason) but this seems to keep the ink from being used 100%.  See photo attached for the "empty" magenta ink.

Im pretty happy with the printer, but right now its running low on ink and says to replace the cartridge.
But as it still has ink in the current cartridge, i don't want to replace the cartridge before its actually empty.

And here is the scam, because you're running low on ink, you cant use your scanner to make a scan, because everyone knows that you need ink to scan a page!

Ink cartridge finished faster than the one that came with the printer. I'm not even talking time frame. I'm talking amount of pages printed. I'm going to order another because I have been in desperate  need for a while now but at this rate I'm going to need a new printer with a longer life span on the ink.

We print out a LOT of paperwork at our house.  We own and operate our own farm so we are always printing off receipts/invoices, etc.
This value pack is the way to go!  I don't find that we got through the ink all that fast.  We probably switch out every 2 months or so depending on usage.  Again-we use it a lot!  I print out coupons as well.

Let's just say you want to print something quickly before leaving the house... be prepared to wait about two minutes before the first sheet comes out. The good news is that it's still slow, but not painstakingly slow, once it's warmed up.

Maybe I'm spoiled by my Brother MFC laser printer, but the Epson 645 is no speed demon. I'm okay with the speed of the prints when it starts going, but that first print warm-up is exactly the reason I got rid of my first Epson 10 years ago. I decided to give them a 2nd chance, but I guess that's just not something they worry about.

Also, when it says it has a 25 sheet document feeder... that's a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe if all 25 sheets were very thin paper? With regular paper, I can't get more than 20 sheets in at a time before it jams.

That being said, I guess it's okay for the price? Maybe?

This ink is very good. It will however, run out quickly. I have printed up to 40  to 50 pages.

Ink does not seem to last very long and the HP sensor for ink replacement is way off.

I do not use my printer very often so I feel I should be getting a lot more pages printed out for the money.

I only print the occasional document or web page.

It's so bad that if I have to print a lot of pages, I will simply email to myself at work and print there.

I like the good, clear colors but am wondering why the cartridge runs low quicker than expected especially when I print mostly in black. Someone told me that when the black ink runs out, the primary colors of red, blue, and yellow in the color cartridge are mixed together (which equals black) and continues printing. I don't know if this is true, but to test this out, I printed a 10 page document in black. I already knew that my black cartridge was low because the indicator message would appear every time I printed something. After printing the document, which by the way came out fine, I looked at the color cartridge ink level and it went down very noticeably. If my arbitrary test case result is valid, then from now on I will replace my black ink cartridge soon after I get the 'running low' message so as not to waste the ink in the color cartridge which is an expensive way of continuing to print in black. However having said all of this, I will continue to purchase this product from Amazon because it is cheaper than stores in my area and with the bonus of no tax and free shipping I think its a bargain.

Good print quality and easy to use.  However, it guzzles ink faster than a fraternity keg party champion slams down beer.  This machine is an Inkoholic in need of a twelve step recovery program.  Be prepared to spend a fortune on ink on a regular basis.
