So maybe I just expect too much out of a fairly inexpensive all in one printer, but it only lasted about a year or so before I had to get a new printer (not Espon this time). On the positive side, it did work pretty well when it worked. I used compatible ink so it was less expensive and it would have trouble recognizing ink cartridges, but that was easily fixed by ignoring that message and making it try again--then it would recognize them okay. After about a year it just stopped printing and had an error message that said it needed Epson to service it. I ended up just resetting the counter (info from the Epson site) and it would print again, but only in color--black printing was pathetic. So I had to buy a new printer, and I won't buy Epson again.

I have owned this printer for about 2 years now and am very glad I bought it. The continual ink supply sytem I attached has saved me lots of money as I have yet to need to replace it. It scans documents great and lets me convert them to adobe PDF's to e-mail them which I have had to do with official documents on a number of occassions. It makes black and white along with color copies very nicely and easily and I have had no complaints about the printing speed at all. I have found the printing quality to be very good and it has lots of features. I have also used the CD/DVD printing abilities a number of times to make professional looking DVD projects. My clients have been very impressed with the final outcome of their printed DVDs. I would recommend buying this for both home use and business use, as it is compatible to either. It is also a good size, but not too big, therefore, it fits into my office well.

This Epson printer is hands down one of the best, quality printers I've ever had. I've gone through many printers that didn't even make it two weeks and this is up there as the top one. The positives are that it has so many features that it can't really disappoint you even if it tried. The printing speed is fantastic, you don't have to sit there and wait 2-4 minutes for one sheet to finish printing. You could be using a printer for the first time and I guarrantee you'll be able to use it cause it's all very basic, simple to set up. The only negatives are most probably the outcome from the scanning. For some reason, every scan came out really strange looking and off. Other negatives are the noise it can make, but it's not always noisy, it comes and goes. One last thing anyone should know before getting this printer is the ink cost. It's not ridiculously expensive for ink, but it's still a good amount of money and is the only thing to question about this printer. All in all, a good print, maybe not great.

This epson printer is awesome. It prints color picture exceptionally well. Normal printing done without a hastle. Prints CDs like amazing. Copy, Scan, you name it, its got it. Also if you want to save on some ink, opt for the CISS system to save you a lot of money on ink! I've had my epson unit for almost 5 years now. Haven't had a problem. The printer scans efficiently and can be adjusted to scan different type of medias to get the best result. The copier can be controled from the LED screen without turning on computer thus making it extremely useful as an office addition. My favorite part is the picture printing ability. With proper photo paper and proper setting, the picture printed from this printer is like professional! I love it. I bring back my thousands and thousands of photo from each trip, and just select crop and print which ever one I like without sending em off to walgreen or others. Convenient and excellent.

having mowed through alot of printers primarily because of my work demands, that of a visual art professional, i am very particular about my investment in printers.  After having researched alot of them i came across the Epson stylus rx 580. And i was more than happy with its performance to say the least.  The greatest versatility of this printer  is the fact that  it can actually let you scan on images directly on to the scanner without the need of a computer, and that makes  your work flow a whole lot more efficient.  Another big asset to this printer is the fact that it can PRINT DIRECTLY on to your DVD and CD, thats more than awesome! because alot of my work involves me having to burn my portfolio onto DVD's on short notice, but with this feature not only can i burn my work on a DVD/CD fast, but can emboss it with my personal imagery that makes my work look very very professional. Though this scanner is not comparable to a high end professional kind that you find in Design studios, but for a Design professional who needs something comparable in terms of features at home, this is it!

Another quality printer by Epson. Funny story, my roommate has this printer and so I installed the printer driver on my laptop for this printer. During the middle of the fall semester when I ran out of ink, I just started using his printer (RX580) because I was too cheap and lazy to get ink cartridge. Once I started printing from this printer, I absolutely thought it was something great because since I use it for school I print out a lot of documents. I was amazed actually with the speed this thing churns out pages combine that with the quality at such a speed I thought this printer was something to look into. Of course I had my own printer, not disclosing the brand, but for the rest of the semester i basically just used my roommate's printer instead of my own because it was just easy to use and fast. Ended up paying for black ink and the price of that wasn't even that bad. So overall I think this is worth looking into.

this is my second epson printer and i love it. epson printers always print out the best pictures and very cost effectly with the ink. It does't use so much ink all the time so you dont always have to run out and get more. I have never once had a problem with my old epson or my new one!!

I love to take pictures of my kids and family and people even bring their children to my home studio so that I can take professional pictures of them. This printer comes in handy for printing out the pictures quickly so that they look like they came from a pro studio. When I print pictures from my camera using this printer, the prints come out glossy and shiny and they look great. I also love how I am able to insert a blank CD into the printer so that I can make a photo CD for my family and friends. The CD's are a big hit and they are much more convenient than having bulky photo albums. The printer is also able to touch up the pictures a little so that they look a little better. It can remove red eye, and other imperfections that may mar the picture. The printer is bulky and expensive, so I keep it in my home photo room away from my clumsy younger children. The printer is very easy to learn how to use and it is very strong and fast.

The Epson Stylus Photo Rx580 Inkjet printer has been a great investment for our family. We have grandchildren and the quility of the printer is like going to a real pro. Needless to say our "boys" photo's are now framed and displayed throughout our home. The size is appropiate for almost all home/office work areas. The quality of printed material excels any that I have seen before. It's fast- a tad bit noisy, but nothing to make a point over. The operational mechanisims are simple enough to repair minor glitches in its performance. Freeing us of those former costly repair bills. I would recommend to all my friends. The paper loading is easy, coping is simple, installing the printer was a breeze. It is light weight and easy manuverable. We did quite a bit of research before we purchased this time. The reviews were all top notch and provided us with excellent information. If you are looking for a carefree printer this is for you.

* The Epson Stylus RX580   is by far the best printer.  The ink will last a long time, and if you run out of one color, you can purchase only that color.  My pictures look terrific and the color is bright.  I have had no problem with scanning.  Printer is easy to use.*
