Maxdugan says "Epson CX5000 - Junk and customer service is terrible" about Epson Stylus CX5000 Printer

I purchased this Epson CX5000 and at first everything was fine until I replaced the third set of ink.

I was getting streaks in the black and I printed a nozzle check and did a cleaning twice - The Ink levels showed Expended !!!!!

I called Epson and they sent out new ink cartridges but the black was on back order - when I called the Epson store to purchase ink, they had plenty So, I called tech support and all they could tell me is that it was on backorder and would ship when it came in (even though I told him that THEIR Epson store had it in stock) Well, mysteriously it showed up the next day Via FedEx

Well - I installed the new ink and could not get the black clean and after 5 cleanings the ink shows expended and the black is still not cleaned.

I called Epson again and talked to several tech support reps and was told to buy a new one or go to another printer company - That's some customer support !!!

So, I guess Epson is comfortable with their products lasting three ink changes so...

ambos says "A lot of great features for mediocre quality." about Epson Stylus CX5000 Printer

The Epson Stylus Photo has a lot of great features such as the LCD, seven color ink, including black photo ink, etc. However, the quality of the photos leaves something to be desired. I have done all the imaginable troubleshooting, but I still see bands in my prints, and poor color quality. Another down fall is that the ink just seems to disappear. even when not in use. I feel as though I am constantly replacing ink cartridges. There is also little control on output quality when you scan. It defaults that the input is a photo and very few programs let you override the quality. This leaves you with very large files that are impossible to attach to e-mail etc. The positive side is it's multifunction-ability....

aadrinkin says "Great printer that does it all" about Epson Stylus CX5000 Printer

The CX5000 is a great printer. It prints great quality photos and has a cartridge for each individual color. This reduces waste as my previous printer would need to be changed when there was still plenty of a color left. The scanner works excellent. I scanned a picture and printed it in 8x10 size and you could barely tell the difference from the original....

I'm extremely happy with my CX5000. The print quality is great and It is very easy to maintain. Replacing ink cartridges is a snap. It has dust covers for the paper input and output slots to help keep it clean. The various input ports--camera, usb, memory card--are easy to access.

The scan capability and quality are fantastic. When I place multiple pictures or other items on the scanner it easily picks them out individually so that I can scan six pictures at one time.

mudstuffin says "Excellent photo printer for a low price to own and operate." about Epson Stylus CX5000 Printer

The Epson CX5000 is an easy printer to operate. The ink cartridges are easy to change and the ease of knowing which cartridge to change and when is a blessing.

The printer retails for about $70.00 and compares favorably with printers costing $200 or more. The quality of the pictures is as good or better than getting them developed professionally. We use a digital camera and print our own pictures now. Noone can tell the difference.

My wife downloaded an autographed picture of Daniel Craig from the Internet and printed it on our Epson CX5000 as a gift for a friend. She thought it was an original!

The ink cartridges are not too expensive. They are about $13 to $15 each. We print a lot of pictures and the cartridges usually last about a month.

It seems wasteful that the cartridges can not be recycled or refilled. I have done this in the past with good results with other printers. It saves money and the environment.

I would recommend the Epson CX5000 to anyone who wants a reliable printer...
