Conclusion: NO STARS - this printer SUUUX!!!!!!!!


Review: do NOT buy this printer. everything in the reviews posted here prove correct. the ink on my printer completely ran out after very little time. i, too, tried to replace only the black but was forced to buy the color cartridges (even though i had BARELY used them at all.) After replacing all of them, STILL NOTHING. just wouldn't work or register the new cartridges. what a total piece of CRAP!!! never EVER buy epson.

Conclusion: Clogs all the time and uses up ink like crazy


Review: When new this product was nice. It was a good scanner and the print output looked good. However, if I don't print for a week the print heads need cleaning, and sometimes more than once. This cleaning in turn uses up the ink. For me I print about one thing a week, clean it once a week which causes my ink to run out in about 8 weeks. On top of this the cartridges are hugely expensive. I estimate I am paying somewhere around ten dollars a page! Obviously this printer is useless for my needs.

Conclusion: poor performance but I got a replacement


Review: I had a CX4600 before I was sent a CX4800, which was fortunately covered and replaced under warranty due to the clogging issue many people have covered. I like the print quality of Epson printers, but unfortunately that's overshadowed by poor printer design.

That said, the trick with these printers is twofold:

1. TURN THE PRINTER OFF when you're not using it. Don't leave it on for extended periods of time.
2. You MUST print a few pages and/or run a cleaning cycle at least once a month, if not more, to keep the ink from drying up in the waste ink hoses, which is the source of the worst clogs.

It's a bit involved to repair yourself, but it can be done. Do a Google search for "inkjetprinterhelp" and you'll find a web site that has some comprehensive instruction on how to fix your CX4600.

Shame on Epson for producing such a poor quality printer design.

Conclusion: Avoid buying EPSON products


Review: The short version of this is that I have bought quite a few Epson printers for personal use as well as for my company. Typically, they work well for a little while and then start having issues with heads clogging. I have just installed brand new ink cartridges (All four) and the printer still thinks it is out of ink. These four replaced four other brand new cartridges that the printer also thought was out of ink. The cost of printing on this unit has run me about $20 per page during the time I have had it. That doesn't account of my time to get ink and missing important deadlines due to the problems.

If this was the only Epson unit I had ever had this problem with, I suppose I wouldn't be so adamant, however I have had this type of trouble with several of them. One of my employees is recommending Hewlett Packard over Epson because of their consistent good, dependable performance.

As I write this, I am installing an HP on my computer to get rid of the Epson. I will never buy an EPSON product again.

Conclusion: A printer shouldn't need to be coddled


Review: I bought my CX4600 about two years ago, and it worked wonderfully for many months after my purchase.

When I ran out of black ink, I couldn't afford to replace the black cartridge right away. Since the Stylus will not print if a single cartridge is empty, and since I used the printer at work more often, I stopped using the printer for almost a year. When I finally got round to using it again, the color cartridges no longer worked. Upon my replacement of all the cartridges, only cyan and black produced any output, and after a couple of cleanings those stopped printing altogether.

Apparently, the Stylus printers will give a very long period of good service only if they are used frequently (i.e.: more than once a week). I no longer need to print out anything that often. I wish I had known before buying this unit on sale at the UCSD bookstore; I now have a cumbersome scanner that works beautifully.
