Epson please let us know |
| I totally agreed with all the reviews about the C80, I would like to ask if EPSON could help by printing on the Manual book: this printer does not last long. Buy at your own risk. It would help !!! |

paperweight after about a year |
| About a year after I bought it, my C80 printer started to have problem. Every time I turned it on, its power LED started flashing and ink LED was always on. I couldn't print anything. Ink cartidge was still full. I even tried print check described in its manual and that didn't work. I contacted Epson support and they couldn't figure out either. It's now sitting in my closet. |

Terrible printer but Epson service is even worse! |
I am extremely disappointed with this printer and I am even more diappointed with Epson. From the day I bought the printer, it always had a problem with horizontal bars in prints. No matter how many times I aligned it and cleaned the nozzles, the problem never went away making the printer totally useless for printing pictures. When I asked for help from Epson, they not only did not help me, but they were actually rude. And not just once! I contacted them several times and the responses were consistently unhelpful and usually rude. I have never had this problem with any other product from any company. That's too bad because, as a professional photographer, I was planning to buy a high-end Epson printer because their dyes are reportedly more stable than those of other companies although the gap has probably closed in that regard by now. Luckily, since most of my work is for publication, I don't have a large need for color prints at this time.
At one point, I contacted Epson and merely asked them what solvent I should use to flush out the nozzles. They REFUSED to answer. This is an exact quote of their response: "It is not up to us to help you fix your printer."
I know exactly how to flush out the nozzles. It is no secret. I just wanted to know what solvent they recommend for doing that. It turns out that the inks are water-based so plain water will do the job. Other very good solvents for cleaning the nozzles on this printer are a mile alchohol/ammonia mixture and, believe it or not, ordinary over-the-couner Windex. Several companies even over kits that include everything needed to clean the nozzles but Epson insisted that it MUST be done by a "trained Epson technician." Sure! That would cost mroe than the cost of a new printer in the same class!
The printer finally just gave out and I don't even use it much. I installed brand new Epson cartridges (about $100!) and the Epson ink status monitor showed that they were down to 1/3rd full after only printing an alignment test! Within minutes, the status monitor said the brand new black cartridge was totally empty (it was totally full).
I am extremely disappointed with this printer and Epson. I will not buy another Epson product after this experience. |
