Conclusion: Unfortunately This Thing Inhales Ink
Review: I replaced an HP 722 with this printer because a friend was very enthusiastic about the the quality of the printing. The quality is very good but I am truly amazed at how much ink the printer uses, even for day-to-day mundane printing. I use this printer mostly for spreadsheets and word documents. Most have some color but not much. The ink just disappears.
I'm hooking the HP back up and will use the Epson only when print quality is a serious concern of mine,

Conclusion: Best photo printer I've ever owned
Review: 90% of the time I'm using this printer for printing photos. As long as you use a high-quality photo paper (I use Kodak's Ultra Premium Photo Paper) and assuming, of course, the camera you used to take the photo is high resolution, the photos are as beautiful if not more-so than when you used to drop film off at Walgreens.
It's an excellent printer for plain old b&w documents too!
I've only used the CD tray a handful of times to print on the printable-surface DVD's, with no problems.
The only drawback is, you guessed it, it eats ink. It seems like I'm replacing a color cartridge every other week. Granted, the cartridges are small and there 6 different colors, but it's a pain and expensive. I've been trying to find a color laser all-in-one to replace this and my failing HP all-in-one, but the reviews seem to say that the color photo printing is so-so. So I'm hesitant, because I have owned two other color printers (for the purpose of printing photos) that have not nearly met the color printing standards set by this machine.

Conclusion: horrible printer
Review: I hate this printer. Many times I dont want to print in color. I want to print text in black only. I hate this printer. I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER EPSON PRINTER. If one of the color cartridges is low, you cannot print black. You cannot clean the nozzle. and now, the printer is telling me that the black cartridge is empty and I cannot print. I just bought it last month. The epson black cartridge is not empty. Do not buy this printer. And as for photo prints...it doesnt look like you can put the print paper profile in anywhere. Anyone who buys this printer is a fool.

Conclusion: Great workhorse for garden-variety family/student printing
Review: I've had this printer for about a year and a half now, and it works great. My wife used it quite a bit as she was working on her master's in English. Seems like they grade grad-student papers by the pound.
I use it from time to time for photos, and to my untrained eye, they come out just fine when you use quality paper.
Epson probably doesn't appreciate this, but we got a continuous ink system for it that cut our ink costs to a small fraction of what we'd pay for regular cartridges.
From time to time we do notice gaps in the printing, but the nozzle-cleaning program that comes with it seems to take care of the problem. We run the program 5 or 6 times, then it's back to normal.
We've never used the CD printing function.
Overall, we love the printer, especially for the price.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Lousy company to do business with
Review: As far as a printer, its a typical cheap printer.
As far as the printer software goes, its typical Japanese software, lousy.
As far as Epson, I could vomit doing business with this company. After obtaining my $45 class action settlement relating to their ink cartridges, I used it to order new cartridges from Epson. Now the cartridges stop printing even though the ink utility shows about 20% of the ink remaining and a message at the top of the screen reading I have about 100 pages left. Reading on the web led me to remove the cartridge and insert it again. Viola, printing.
This is a really low-rent company. Why do business with them?
