Strengths: none
Weaknesses:Everything (Low quality printing, expensive ink, poor functionality, nozzle cleaning every single day)
Overall Evaluation: Worst printer I've ever owned, does not live up to the epson quality. The most I print is 3 times a month and the ink has to be replaced every 2 months. 6 ink cartridges times $18.00 is not cheap. If just one ink cartridge is out will not allow you to print or clean nozzle. I should have stuck to a cheaper brand.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Has a scanner
Weaknesses:Low quality printing, expensive ink, poor functionality
Overall Evaluation: This is the worst printer I've ever owned. It's so bad that while I've never reviewed a product online in my life, I specifically looked for a website I could review it on to warn others about it.The print quality is inexcusably bad. If you don't print a couple of pages daily, you have to clean the printer head after every use. Even if you do print a couple of documents a day, it'll at least screw up the last few. It's worked like that since day one.For such low quality, the inks are unjustifiably expensive. And if one color runs out, even if it's just like Light Magenta, you can't print anything until you replace it. Even if you aren't using that color, or only care about legibility, you're just done. It's put me in a bind plenty of times.I guess the scanner works fine, but I'd prefer my printer to function best in, you know, printing. I wish I still had my $20 Canon.

Strengths: Few. It's small and combines a lot of functionality.
Weaknesses:It doesn't seem to do anything well. The colors do not appear balanced.
Overall Evaluation: I've compared photo prints that I've done on other printers and this one often shows black as brown and has a rather murky quality to it. If you are a photographer, you're not going to like this one. Eventually, this one developed a streak about a quarter down the page that distorted the text from left to right. There is no fix for it that I can find in any help file. Ink has been hard to find, and expensive, since I bought this printer. It goes through cartridges like Kleenex.

Strengths: I originally purchased this printer because I had seen a lot of nice things done with it. It supports a variety of papers and it\\\\\\\'s 6 tone colors give prints a wonderful quality.
Weaknesses:If your printer does not work properly, be prepared for a hellish customer service experience. Their online help guide did not solve my problems, nor did e-mail. No weekend hours for phone support.
Overall Evaluation: I purchased a refurbished all-in-one printer from Epson. (Silly me, I thought it was safer buying it from Epson\\\\\\\'s website.) The first printer installed okay, but all it\\\\\\\'s actions were very, very slow and it could not print text documents without large gaps in the text. Oddly enough, it printed photos very slowly, but well.Their online support was not helpful and when I attempted to contact via e-mail, I got a standard response that listed the same steps from their webpage. It was like no one had even bothered to read my e-mail! I had to wait several day to call by phone because their hours are from 6am-6pm pacific time. Monday-Friday only, no hours on the weekend. When I called, I was able to by-pass the phonetech\\\\\\\'s attempts to make me to all of it again (nozzle check, head cleaning, exc.) and set up a new printer to be sent to me.I just received the new printer, but this one does not scan correctly. Again, the website and their user guides are no help to me. I will have to wait until the weekdays to call and begin the whole process again.I highly doubt I\\\\\\\'ll be buying Epson anything in the future. I don\\\\\\\'t think it is too much to ask that a product works when I take it out of the box.
Review:
Epson Stylus Photo RX580
Epson's all-in-one performs well as a scanner and photo printer, but falls short on quality for other general-purpose tasks.
The $200 (as of 10/25/2006) Epson Stylus Photo RX580 could appeal to many photo hobbyists due to its fast scanning and high-quality glossy photos. But users who need a general-purpose device will likely be let down by the RX580's subpar copies and prints on plain paper.
