i wouldnt wish this ( printer) on ANYONE

OMG
seriously i wouldnt wish this printer on my worst enemy

the PHOTO EPSON RX425

Rant time:
okay so you dont print for a few days due to a format, ansd when you DO decide to print... hmmm only 2 colours print, so you run the TEST pattern and its virtualy none-existant.
so you run 'head cleaning' and WHAM there goes a third of your ink... where does it go ?? who knows !

when you DO try to print... it decides to unload its AWSOME features on you by displaying how fast it is at printing, so instead of grently FEEDING the paper, it just launches it into the big gaping ink swallowing hole epson call the RX425.
in doing so at earth shattering speeds it throws the paper off to one side, not quick enought to recognise it as a jam it simply KEEPS PRINTING ! spraying your precious ink all over the inside of the printer... great !
so try again same thing happenss. then it tells me im out of ink... hmm wonder where the ink went ?
suddently ive got full ink.
and it just goes on and on and on

feel better now?

NO !
it just does not print. ive even tried to gently nurture the paper feed with my loving hands to try and get it to calm down whicle chewing the paper but theres simply nothign i can do to get it NOT to hurtle the paper down without it going off at an angle and jamming.

new printer time i think... take this heap back to the guys in the purple shirts... im now realising why every PC shop i walked into was trying to sell me this printer cheaper and cheaper.

yea my old crappy HP which ive had since the year of dot never goes wrong, thats my parent printer though... i ahve my onw and have to get my own ink.
any reccomendations for about 90 quid... if the purple shirt wearers will take this one back ?

Welcome to world of Epson!

Seriously, how old is the printer? Can you still take it back? I would certainly do so, because it's faulty.

You can buy individual colours. So if cyan ran out on my HP, I'd have to replace the entire tank - but with Canon, I just replace the Cyan tank.
Just choose duplex printing when you print, and off it goes. I really enjoy watching it do duplex printing.


I would get a refund on your cheap tat Epson, and give the Canon a go. I guarantee you won't look back.

Christmas day
yes i will take it back ... it is faulty... its failing to complete its designated job.

thats what i like about the epson... CMYK inks

duplex printing
and how much ?

they really have a nack of going wrong when you REALLY need the though dont they

Ive got the Epson RX425 and i use the cheapest ink i could find i think it was 70p per cartridge or something like that and i can go weeks without printing and it will be fine.

you are blessed my friend lol !

oh guys ive just realised why i gt it int he first place !
i NEED the scanner on the top. just looked at the iP4200 and within 5 seconds remembered about the scanner.
i simply do not have the space for a seperate scanner.

so spec me an all in one. cheap ink, printer/scanner preferably one which will do CDs

i paid £80 for the RX425 from a high street retailer, so i will probobly have to get one from the same shop.
ill ahve a look on their website and get some options
