Epson XP-720

I am very unhappy with the Epson XP 720. It is not very old and I get ink splatters all over my photos. The ink head cleaning kit is very expensive from Epson and for the price I pay for ink I think I should not need to purchase cleaning kits also. All my printers in the past printed photos with no problems at all. I purchased this one because it was meant to print excellent photos but so disappointed with the results. . It looks like I am needing to replace this printer.

I brought this printer in 2017 I am about to replace it and not with another Epson after reading Frustrated printer it could have been written by me, tearing my hair out trying to print photo's I have had to throw out the last 8 photo's with ink splatters on them, even after cleaning it twice, wasting very expensive ink, would not recommend this product to my worst enemy.

I bought this printer as my research showed it would be an excellent photo printer. When it works, it does indeed produce great quality prints. However, I spend more time cleaning the heads and replacing the (really expensive) ink than I do actually printing. i am constsntjy getting splatters of ink or missing ink on prints. I then have to perform multiple nozzle checks and clean the heads till it works (and even then it still sometimes doesn’t produce a clean print). all the head cleaning wastes so much ink. It is incredibly frustrating and I wouldn’t recommend this printer to anyone.

The XP 720 was recommended by Harvey Norman, however, it was a nightmare setting up and getting it to work.
Over the ensuing months we have had several issues with wifi printing and it seemed to consume a lot of ink.
Each time after changing the very expensive replacement cartridges one had to to repeat the set up procedure.
Never again will I buy an Epson printer.

Bought an Epson XP720 end of June 2017 three months later, had taken it back to store which I purchased from. Reason paper jams, as I did buy this printer for fast speed in printing and also printing our own photos that is the problem! Can only print about 10 photos before starting to jam up (Now on to our replacement same problem is again happening at the moment will wait until after holiday season) to take back to the store don't think I will buy another Epson Printer.

This is the worst printer I've ever owned. I bought it to replace a Canon that I'd used for 5 years and wanted a printer to print CD labels. It's forever needing ink which it runs through like water. It keeps coming up with error messages since I updated the firmware (which was recommended by Epson). Now it won't even print a simple black and white document because for some reason it thinks I want to print a CD. Don't waste your money, these printers are junk. I've given it 1 star because no stars was not an option.

I had some setup issue but it has been sorted by Epson technical support after a few emails and a few calls. Had to ask for 2nd level support to remote login into my PC to fix the issue or rather non-issue due to my using the old Epson scan application previously installed for my old Epson scanner. Currently I can print and scan but have not tried other functions.

It advertises 5 colours, on the front of the printer it says 5 colours but there are only four - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. - there are two Black cartridges and this is how Epson claims 5 colours - 3 distinct colour cartridges and 2 black cartridges. Rubbish. They could just as logically have ten black cartridges and market the printer as having ten colours.
