Downside
The printer is part of Epson’s readyink programme and if users sign up they may find they are paying more for replacement inks than they need to because other inks are available.
Duplexing – A bit cheeky here. Epson achieve the sleek design by not incorporating automatic duplexing into the printer. They describe duplexing as manual, as in turn the page over and put it back in the printer.
Our view 7/10
It’s cheap, has a small footprint and the mobile printing options are better than other brands in the home market segment. Other, lower cost inks are available, but the downside is the lack of automatic duplexing.
