5 Stars Ink is good
Well, I don’t know what to say about this ink except that it met my expectations. I put it in my printer and my printer was happy. 
5 Stars Epson photo paper made the difference with this printer
We purchased this printer because we were having trouble printing photos with our prior all-in-one printer, and this one had great reviews in our local newspaper and online.
As advertised, the printer setup was relatively easy. The biggest challenge I had was in loading paper tray, which left me wondering if I had done it right until I actually printed anything. I still haven’t done the network setup for the printer, partly because you can’t scan images to your computer using that setup. You must use the USB connection to do so.
Once set-up, I was impressed by how easy it was to get our camera connected and to work with photos from the computer.
I was very unimpressed, however, with the print quality we were getting on photo paper. We were using some photo paper that we already had lying around the house to do the printing, and the images all seemed grainy. You could see ink dots all over the images, and while they would look fine from about 5 feet away, they looked horrible at arm’s length.
Frustrated with the results we were getting and feeling like we had been taken for a ride, we decided to give the recommended Epson brand photo paper a try as a last ditch effort. There was no sample was included with the printer, but that brand was recommended throughout the documentation. The specific paper we purchased is the: 100-SHEET 4X6 Glossy Ultra Premium Photo Paper
That paper made all of the difference. The images that we’re printing now are matching the descriptions provided by others. They’re high quality, just like a photo printed from a shop.
