Won't print color properly.

This is the worst printer I have ever had. Within one month, it stopped printing in color. Instead any color prints were printed with green lines. Very very bad quality printer. Disappointed with this purchase. Unfortunately, this printer will only print in black and white.

I bought half year ago and only used couple times. Last week when I tried to print a picture, it did come out any colors. I tried many times, it just doesn't work.

Only a few colors on the color cartridge work. Not worth the money.

If you run out of color ink, it is impossible to use only black ink because it keeps asking to insert the color ink cateridge and refuse to print even though you set it up to use only black cateridge.

I have trouble with the color 95.  Screen on printer keeps showing "remove and check color cartridge". I follow the instructions included in the box, but it does not fix the problem. The printer will print, but I can not use the scanner on my printer or change copy numbers, or size, etc.

I am very disappointed with color printing and color copying. There is no quality in color printing. I can see yellow or blue color on the background of the paper, and color combinations are also bad. As I am not a technical person, I usually use printer in default settings.  In Default settings, it does not print colors properly. Also, does not copy properly in color. Dark colors look in blue. I have to go outside to do color printing or copying nd spend more money. I felt I have paid too much money for this printer as it lacks proper functioning. As far as the back & white, priting, Copying, scanning, anf other things are concernec, it does a great job. There may be some mechanical problem with the one I bought, and may not be the same with all other machines.

Thank you.

All the cartridges worked fine ,or seemingly, except the blue/cyan one. So, now, I can print some colors, but not all. I should try to return it, but, I have already used some of the other colors and threw away the packaging when that first print scan seemed to work okay.

One of the color cartridges did not work properly (blue & red would not print) and caused problems with print head printer.  Had to tear printer apart in order to clean print head and even ordered new printer because I was convinced it was a printer problem - but it wasn't.  Inserted a different ink cartridge and printer is now working.  Not pleased with this product.

Maybe it is my printer, but I doubt it.  Can't get it to print consistently without boogers, strings, or voids.

The colors are just awful. Black comes out turquoise. I've tried adjusting color prior to printing but not much change.

No I'm not giving one star because Epson requires all colors for printing black I'm used to that already. Ever since I bought this cartridge my printer
isn't doing its job anymore it just doesn't print certain lines or they're washed out so I have to make everything dark blue now instead of black.
I thought I was being prudent by getting the XL cartridge but it's just a huge headache, all my other colors are still filled so that's not the issue either.

The Magenta cartridge won't print. It comes out yellow.. The Blue is not much better.
tried to print a color page and it was a mess. Will order direct rom Epson next time.
Have no problems with cartridges from EPSON.

Have found out that it isn't the cartridge actually.  Epson needs to put written instructions in their boxes so people know to clean out before inserting.  Haven't had to do this previously but apparently you do now.

I just installed it, and when I printed the very first page from this brand new cartridge, I get lighter bars where it should be black down the middle, and a black bar down the side.  Looks dirty, and I'm annoyed.

Two color cartridges didn't work--they fit the slot, but printer gives problem signal.  Temporarily I put empty color cartridge back in the slot, then set print preference to black only. They are not empty, just don't work.

Good rpinter overall but prints weird color (all pinky color) may just be dodgy ink. Calibrated it often but can't get good color. Hopefully a new ink cart will fix this. Not a huge problem for me as 99% of my printing is BW.

My well-meaning husband bought me this printer as a Christmas gift and I wish I had been brave enough to tell him I wanted a different model. :-/  This printer will not print AT ALL if even one color has run out, and there are 5 colors. I now have 2 extra Photo Black cartridges on hand because it isn't running out as fast as the other colors. I also hadn't anticipated paying so much for cartridge replacement ($65-$75 3x/year). On a positive note, I had to call Epson today for a print quality issue, and they were able to help me even though I'm quite sure the printer is out of warranty.

Colors do not print out like they're supposed to be. Faulty product I believe. I will not buy these again
