What You Should Know about the Epson Stylus CX6600 All-in-One

If You Use a Sony Camera, Print Right From Its Memory Stick

This printer can read and write to Sony's proprietary flash memory devices called Memory Sticks, and with an adapter, could also support variants such as Memory Stick Pro, Duo, Pro Duo, and Micro. Few non-Sony devices use Memory Sticks, however, the company is so large that there's still a good chance you might need to read data from one someday.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Prints fine until you change the cartridge

Weaknesses: You'll get one or two changes out of it, then you'll need a new printer

Overall Evaluation: This printer is designed to clog within a cartridge change or two and you'll need to replace it. There is NO FIX! Don't waste your money! Somebody should sue Epson.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: worked great for the first 9 months.

Weaknesses: Quit printing after 9 months.

Overall Evaluation: Everything was great with this printer until it quit printing. Everything else still worked, but I need the printer too, that is why I bought this all-in-one. At the time I bought it I was told it was a top of the line printer and that Epson makes the highest quality printers. I have had cheapy printers last longer than this. I didn't get my moneys worth out of it. I thought for as much as I bought it for it would have lasted a whole lot longer than it did. It was a very disappointing printer.
