REVIEWS
So let me start off by saying I'm really bitter about my decision to have buy this machine. I wished I could keep using my Epson R2400, but it really wastes more ink now than ever because of the cleaning cycles. It still prints great when it wants to, but has been leaving ink debris between swaps because ink gunk gets caught in the machine from somewhere causing dirty prints. Not all the time. I've printed with this machine since it came into the market. So many many years and thousands of prints. So this R3000 I know I'll probably have a love or hate relationship because of the R2400. I hate wasting money on ink and on new printers even though the quality is outstanding.11-24-2015So after a year of doing some heavy duty printing from letter size (8.5"x"11) to 13"x19" and many double-sided prints on almost exclusively on matte paper (Ultrasmooth or something equivalent) I am really very disappointed with this Epson printer. The quality is slightly better than that of my previous model. I don't use the highest setting so I can't speak about that, but I do print from fast prints to medium speed and quality printing. I'm happy with the results. What I'm not happy with is the constant clogging this machine seems to do all the time. I print every week and sometimes 3-4 times per week. I never let more than a few days pass, but sometimes if more than a few days do pass without printing the machine comes back and tells you it's clogged by running the print quality test on the utility program. I have never had to run so many cleaning cycles on the older Epson model as much as this behemoth of ink wastefulness. My old machine could be okay even if a month passes by. This machine gets the printer heads clogged every week and I have to normally run from 1-3 cleaning cycles which results in at least $5 each time from what I've read around, but that's on any good week. Every couple of months or so one of the heads is completely clogged even though it may have not been initially clogged a few minutes ago when printing something. It almost starts feeling a bit fishy. I know Epson has been accused of tampering with their inks, but I can't say this for sure. So twice in a year I had to run between 8-13 cleaning cycles because the printing heads are clogged to the point the printer tests show up blank on any given color ink cartridge while 6 or 7 of them are completely fine. The first time this happened it was the Black and Cyan colors and this last time (today) it was the Vivid Magenta (not sure why we need to keep saying Vivid all the time). So I had to spend most of the afternoon doing print tests and running long printing cycles. Eventually almost giving up. I'm one step in the direction of selling this thing on ebay. I am so disappointed. I hope the clogging doesn't continue. I'm thinking of trying another brand after more than 15 years using only Epson products and even after they aren't working so well I have been a firm supporter. Scanners and printers. Canon might be my next choice.Update 10-23-2016So twice this year I've received faulty ink cartridges of Epson brand. You will have to call them to get it replaced after some bogus diagnosis you have to perform (taking all the ink cartridges out and waking 15 minutes and reinserting). I call this "the dance" and then you get your replacement. If you happen to be an artist you can instead of chuck the cartridge away, you can use to to do some ink washes. Be sure to use gloves. You will have to open up the full cartridge and empty the ink into a bottle or equivalent. It dries tacky on slick surfaces, but you can always spray fixative on it and better yet it's archival. I figure it needs to be heated to be waterproof so it's not. This of course will be the most expensive ink you will buy in your life, but better to use it for something.
