Love the functionality, ink however...

Loved the functionality of this pen! Really handy for taking color-coded notes in class when you don't want to pull out multiple pens- it definitely saves desk space and time when note taking. Switching between the pens/pencil is smooth; I haven't come across any issues with the pens being "stuck" when trying to switch between them. Also, the ink itself writes very smooth. I've had this pen for almost a year now and the biggest con for me AFTER the first or second month of using it extensively (in all of my college classes) was that the ink in all the pens would "skip". It almost seems as if the ink runs out fairly quick in these pens or the ink "dries" out. Overall, it's a very well-designed pen, however, If you plan on extensively writing with this pen, it might not last as long and its probably best to have a backup along.

I absolutely love that it gives me an abundance of black ink instead of photo ink, however, the printer will give me an error message when loading (turning on) because of old photo ink cartridge I'm guessing. Definitely worth the money and I'm happy with this product.

Perfect pen.  Writes great, and retract feature is appealing.  Imperial blue is beautiful.  Only con:  it uses a lot of ink.

Updated review in December:  I'm sad to say that I have to downgrade from 5 stars to 3.  The flow of ink became poor within two months of my purchase. I will have to purchase a new cartridge.  I am not a heavy user -- I suspect my pen arrived to me with a very old cartridge.  Given the high price tag, I am very unhappy.

Why 3 stars?  It is pretty!

I just love the idea of this, but as soon as I took the cover off the tip of the pen I got ink all over my hands after the cartridge came out!! The stylus is great though!! But I was very disappointed in the issues with the pen, especially since I collect pens!!

and my big "but" is this: You can not print text using just black ink. That means any text/word document that you print is printed in grayscale (unless you need color for graphics), which uses the COLOR cartridges. So, you burn through A LOT of C/M/Y to just print docs. EVEN THOUGH there are TWO black cartridges (one for photo printing, one for everything else). This means, if you print documents with any regularity, you will need to buy four cartridges, C/M/Y/K.

And that's my big but.

Otherwise, I like the print quality/speed. There's enough other settings to tweak. Scan gui is a little odd, but functional. Kinda slick design. But my next printer is certainly going to have a "black ink" only option... laser?

These pens are really comfortable to write with, and I absolutely love the fun colors! They let me express myself, and match my outfits :-D
However, the ink disappears within a month and you have to constantly buy new ones. It gets pretty annoying.

I would love to give these pens a higher review. They write SO nicely and they look great on paper. I love using green ink, and the color of these is wonderful.

However, I am someone who likes to have a cup of coffee or water or tea while I'm working, and occasionally I'll spill a drop. Or perhaps they're in my bag and I'm walking in the rain. The ink smudges like crazy. As if it's not bad enough that I end up with green everywhere, I have been in a situation where I couldn't even read what I had written  it was smudged so badly. If there was a fix for that so I could still use these gorgeous pens, I would buy more in a heartbeat.

I love the 2880, but have three issues: 1. it seems like the ink only prints a few photos and gets quite expensive 2. the black ink matte has to be removed to use the other black ink cartridge which makes it even more expensive if I have to remove.  So why not have a black ink for each? 3. If you run out of one color, you should be able to print in at least black and white!

I am a professional art photographer, and teach workshops in painting on photographs.  I print these on my 2880 on Epson watercolor paper and people love them.
I would like to suggest three things: more ink in your ink containers, more eco friendly containers, a suggestion list of newest designed printers for people who use the printer for Fine Art.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Epson-Stylus-Photo-R2880-Wide-Format-Color-Inkjet-Printer-C11CA16201/dp/B001A11KA2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Wide-Format Color Inkjet Printer (C11CA16201)</a>

I had recently acquired my first fountain pen and needed ink to go with it. I purchased this particular one because of its price, reviews, and ranking.

I was expected to be blown away but unfortunately I'm not. This ink dries quickly, which is great - that means I won't end up smearing it. However, when it does dry, the color that is left is not a deep black; it's more of a light black to almost blue color. I'm a fan of blue ink (I almost bought blue ink but in the end decided to go with the standard black), but this ink is really neither blue nor black; it's something in between. I thought it might have been the paper I was writing on but it's not. I've tested this on several "types" of paper (journal, ring notebook, copy paper) and the ink looks to be about the same hue on each. I've attached a picture so that you can see for yourself the color that I end up with.

The color is not horrible so I'm going to keep this bottle and use up as much of the ink as I can. However, I'm going to continue looking at other brands in the meantime and hopefully end up buying one that is a true deep black.

Everything about this printer is pretty much awesome as many of the other reviewers are saying. So I'll let you read about the awesome features from their reviews. My review is about a few particular issues I have with my Canon PIXMA MG6120. I hope they are helpful to you in making your decision about purchasing this printer.

I have a few gripes:

I'm just curious if others are having to replace all 6 ink cartridges frequently. I've had to replace all 6 ink cartridges twice per every 1/2 reem of paper. It costs over $85 to purchase the 6 proprietary ink cartridges with their special chip so there's no way around it.

As a student, this is not an affordable printer to own.

Also, when you press the "Copy" button, there is a 1 minute 25 second delay with a messages saying: "processing - Please wait momentarily" - until it goes into actual copy mode. It does that every time. Once it goes into copy mode, it prints your copy in a flash! I just wish it would simply print right then and there when you hit the copy button like other printers I've owned in the past did.

Nearly everything I print is black text, so it doesn't make any sense to me why I keep running out of Grey, Magenta, Cyan, Yellow and the Large Black ink tank (in this specific order), with the small black ink cartrige lasting the longest. Why do I run out of the color ink so quickly if I'm only printing black text?

5 stars because it's an awesome printer (in reference to features), minus two stars because it's expensive to own. My rating 3 stars.

The ink doesn't last real long unless you order high capacity cartridges, but the last long enough.. As per almost any inkjet printer I've ever owned, you need to do the maintenance clean nozzle almost every time you use it, if it sits for extended periods of time.. Very handy with the Wifi connectivity, and the scanner/copier works very good. I like that i can scan to the cloud or my email, or to an SD card, its a cool printer if you need a decent occasional printer. For the price, its nice!

This pen is beautiful. It weighs a lot which is nice when you're writing. However, I don't know why, but the ink is always everywhere! I installed the ink as per the instructions, but every time I write with this pen, I end up with ink all over my hands. It's just really inconvenient and should not be happening. The two stars were given because aesthetically, it's a nice pen. But in terms of functionality, no, just no.

Moleskine is a great brand and I really love the minimalism and functionality of this product. My two complaints are that the paper is very thin, and when I use my colored felt-tip sharpies they bleed through. It's bearable though, and I've mostly been using pencil, though I definitely prefer to color code.

If you don't write really small, this may not be for you. It's not heavy at all, easy to throw in the purse. But I don't really have enough room to write and erase things, I feel like I'm forced to write everything perfectly to risk leaving marks and not having space to rewrite. I would get the larger size if I could go back in time.

Love it, but why so much? Ink bled on transparency. Is it supposed to? I thought later wasn't supposed to run?

Big fan of the scanner, printer, etc.  Only complaint is that the ink is very expensive and the cheap alternatives do not work.  It is literally cheaper to throw away the printer than replace the ink!

My parents got me into really nice pens and pencils, and this was one of my favorites that I'd take from my dad's pen drawer. The grip is very comfortable, and the ease that the pen rolls along the paper is amazing. The ink is very dark - which is amazing (to me) but can also cause some distress to people who like to write on both sides of a notebook paper because the ink is visible on the other side. However, I enjoy very dark ink, so it poses no problem for me. I'd also like to emphasize on keeping the pens capped. Do not start using many at a time, because they WILL dry up, and it is very difficult to get it going again once its been dried. I usually just take out one at a time and replace it once I've used it up or I've lost it.

Really enjoy this product!  It feels well constructed and sturdy.  In your hands it is comfortable.  I love the convenience of having the multicolors and pencil available in a relatively small footprint.  The pens write smooth MOST of the time.

The negatives:
1.  The black grip is a lint trap.  You will need to clean this periodically.
2.  The blue and green started skipping when writing fairly early.  Very frustrating!  Red and black have been rock solid.
3.  The eraser is tiny and doesn't work all that well.
