Decent quality, but handles ink dishonestly. (Really.)2008-07-20
Perfectly dishonest: not only does it INSIST that a perfectly functional cartridge is empty, but you are not allowed to print ANYTHING until every cartridge is present and full.

So, if it's an hour before your flight, and light magenta is empty, you won't print that boarding pass unless you've got that cartridge on hand.

And, no, you can't print "black-only", because that would mean less money to Epson!

Not a bad printer to use. Although -- when sharing it across a network -- it uses an annoying proprietary interface that resides in your tooltray. But Canon's no better, and Brother is MUCH worse, all consistent with the tradition of lousy software from printer makers.
Not satisfied with this one2006-09-24
I've had my RX-500 for a year now and continuous paper feed issues, film scanning issues and the ink-suck warm up have convinced me to start shopping for another. (I'm a patient person.)

The straw that broke the camel's back was the ink-waste. This is a common issue with most inkjet printers, but the amount of color ink that is wasted is unbelievable to me when I print nothing but black-and-white documents (using the "black ink only" selection) for four months at a time. It's either poorly designed or Epson's way of fleecing their customers through ink refills--both signs of a poorly managed product line.
don't buy it2006-07-28
I was in LOVE with this unit until the day it started eating paper [accordion style] after about two dozen printouts. Luckily, I had purchased a warranty that provided a one time replacement, but the replacement that was sent was refurbished, was missing pieces and ultimately had trouble sensing the paper in the paper tray. Never had a chance to test out its scanning capabilities, but now I have 2 dysfunctional printers in my office. Oh, and as a side note, my best friend bought the very same printer and hers doesn't work either. Do yourself a favor [I know it looks sleek], but don't buy it.
Don't bother unless you're Rich!!!2006-06-28
I had an Epson in another country and had nothing but trouble with it, even after 'cleaning the heads' many times(and the ink disappearing quickly after this 'cleaning').

I was going to buy this one as it was on sale at a local place. However, after reading the reviews about the ink consumption...AND epson's own admission (straight from their faq, "To keep the print head clear, the printer uses a small amount of ink from all the cartridges whenever it prints. Even if you select Black Only, some color ink is still being used.") I have decided to not be a cheapskate on this purchase!
Stay away from this one!!!!2006-06-27
I bought this printer some months ago, and I only used a few times for printing, since I actually bought it for scanning. But after weeks I realized that every time I turned on the printer, even for scanning, the level of ink was decreasing. So this printer not only takes about a minute to get ready after you turn it on (wasting ink unnecessarily), but actually at the end it will tell you that the cartridges are empty when indeed you can hear that there is some ink in them. Once it tells you that one of the cartridges is empty...it won't print at all!!.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. User types: Home user | Budding novelist | Digital photographer | Entrepreneur | Corporate cog | Frequent flier Home user  The home user demands a lot from a printer. The device must tackle everything from a book report to a newsletter to the occasional snapshot--all without breaking the budget. This is why for most home users, the best choice is a versatile and affordable printer, such as a small-office/home-office color ...
A Quick Look At the Professional Digital Camcorder
Introduction Professional digital camcorders are better than your analog camcorder, or even your digital video camera. The advancements that have been made in the camcorder industry are amazing. Just like everything else they keep getting more and more advanced, and shrinking in size. Even though we have seen much advancement, the price keeps getting more and more affordable. Professionals are not the only ones who can now enjoy the wonderful benefits of a professional -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A professional digital camcorder allows creativity and quality to meet, and the cost is far lower than it was only a few years ago. Even in the late 1990's most professionals were using Betamax professional quality analog recorders, though the professional digital camcorder was starting to come into its own back then. In 1997 at a press conference in Roswell, New Mexico during the 50th anniversary of the historic alleged UFO crash ...
