  Duration of ownership: 10 Months

  Strengths: Ease of scanning; quick copies; price

  Weaknesses: Print speed; print quality in normal or draft mode; high ink consumption

  Overall: The Epson CX7800 is a very inexpensive multifunction ink jet printer. It's paper-handling is so-so. And, it's one of the slowest printers I've owned in the past 20 years! A simple text b/w document printed at normal resolution on plain paper takes forever - the printer seems to go through lots and lots of cycles before the printing even starts. I am familiar with the auto-sensing feature on some H-P printers but the Epson doesn't have that feature - there is NO auto-paper Select ... you set the paper type but the CX7800 still seems to be doing something before and sometimes even during a print cycle! Color prints are good quality - it has a borderless feature that is burried in the print menu. And, if you think simple text printing is s l o w ... photo's come out nicely at the higher quality settings but take forever. Bottom line, if average printing quality is OK for your needs, if you have no need to get through a print job quickly, and there is a good sale at your favorite etailer or store, the Epson's are an OK buy. Otherwise shop and buy another brand. When this puppy breaks down I'll go elsewhere.

  Strengths: It has all the features of a good mutifuntion printer and has 4 diffrent ink colors.

  Weaknesses: nosisy as I sleep with a roommate and I print stuff when he is sleeping

  Overall: overall this printer satisfied my needs for a All in one. It is a little big, as I'm in college and space is a huge thing, but what can you do. It has a sleek design which was the main reason I bought it and it also seems to print very well. overall it was a good choice for me anyways.

  Strengths: good at copying and basic print jobs

  Weaknesses: terrible customer service see comments

  Overall: I got one of these at local discount club and Epson was offering a 30.00 rebate - I sent it in and there was no disclaimer on the form saying "club" purchases excluded but now they say they are not going to pay because of that- even though I pointed out there was no such notice at the timeI have called both their rebate hotline and their us hdqtrs and they have been no help- I was even thinking of getting another of their products but not now-BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

  Strengths: Printing when it worked.

  Weaknesses: Print heads clog & paper would not feed

  Overall: This is a good printer when it worked. Bought in April 06 & it was dead in June 06. Always heard about the Epson ink problems but hoped they would of fixed it. On June 10th went to pring & the paper would not feed. After about 10 attempts it printed. Then the ink was messed up. Found 3 ink heads were clogged. Couldn't get them uncloggged or solve the paper feeding problem, so the printer is in the garage & I replaced it with a HP print. Always had HP & in 25 years never had a problem. Bought this Epson & died in 2 months.

  Strengths: Multi function... when it works

  Weaknesses: Manufacture Quality. Scanner/copier breaks down and paper sometimes jams.

  Overall: I am now on my 3rd CX7800 printer/scanner. The first unit (purchased new direct from Epson website) worked for about a month then the scanner/copier function stopped working. Epson has no published 800 number so the call for tech assist is at your expense. They sent me a rebuilt CX7800 as a replacement and the copy/scan function did not work the day I got it... meaning another call at my expense and another rebuilt replacement.. and in less than 2 months that replacement unit broke down (same issue... scan/copy broke). I am typing this as I sit on hold with Epson customer relations (20 minutes so far) trying to get a refund.

  Strengths: Excellent print quality

  Weaknesses: A little slow and a bit noisy, but doesn't really bother me

  Overall: This printer, being my 4th from Epson, is excellent! I started off with an Epson CX3200 back in the day, went to a CX5400, then to a CX6600. I had to part with the last one because of a header problem, but this CX7800 is the best Epson AIO yet! One nice thing this printer includes is a device for scanning negatives and slides. Although it doesn't include a USB cable, they're incredibly cheap nowadays (you can often find them at a local dollar store). Epson brand cartridges are spendy, so I chose to buy generic ones and they're working just as well as OEM carts. EZinkjets.com is a great place for generic Epson ink, and they always have coupon codes posted right on their site.
