Strengths: Small footprint, easy set up if you follow instructions to the letter, low cost, accepts all media, and results quite satisfactory. I have only had it a short while but would recommend it to anyone.
Weaknesses:none so far
Overall Evaluation: I purchased this printer to replace my old and worn out Epson C88 machine. So far in only a few weeks of heavy use, the printer has performed flawlessly. The set up was very easy (do NOT throw away any cables from your old machines as some don't come with the new ones out of the box). All my previous printer settings, or templates (very laboriously set up) used for the C88 were saved and transfered over with software installation, saving me a lot of work. Note: follow the set up instructions out of the box to the letter and you will have no problems. Then after attaching the USB cable, I downloaded and installed the latest driver update from Mgr website and have had no difficulties. It has a very small foot print (nice for my cluttered work space) and has a quiet mode to make the noise a bit less when printing and the wife is in the next room is sleeping. All in all for around eighty bucks or less if you shop on line, this new Epson Workforce 30 fits my needs perfectly. I would recommend it to for the occasional user like myself. Also note: when shopping for ink jets, always keep in mind the replacement costs for ink. If you print a lot this will be a MAJOR factor. I shopped around the internet and this model has a replacement ink cartridge that is not TOO expensive. Then it is only around a month old from mfg. market, so cheap ink is not available yet, but will be in a month or two. My old C88 worked fine for well over a year using ink that cost less than a third of OEM ink from Epson. Now they will scream at voiding the warranty, BUT when a complete set of OEM ink costs as much as a NEW printer, use the cheap ink- what do ya have to loose?
