"Horrible design and CHEAP plastics"
1.0 starson by ScoutechPros: Good wireless printing. Set up was easy.
Cons: Not servicable to clean clogged printer head. Cheap plastics break easy. Service manual instructs to "break" some parts for service. Need to tear down the entire printer to replace head. Noisy. Cartridges run out very fast.
Summary: Being an experienced engineer, developing electronics products for over 25 years, I am appalled at the shappy use of materials and design of this printer. It is the worst example of crappy mechanical design I have seen in many years. Having worked directly with Epson Japan, I'm doubly appalled. Epson just lost me as a customer for ANY Epson printer in the future. I placed this printer in a dumpster. It does not warrant recyling. The materials are not worth the trouble. Service manual was helpful after I searched for three hours to find one.
The print head became severely clogged after high res printing 50 brochures.
Finally the printer would no longer recognize four full cartidges.
Black color totally failed and other colors frequently clogged.
Ink ran out so fast, I had to replace cardridges after 5 high res pages.
Should I continue???
Nothing personal against Epson.
However, I highly recommend to ANYONE to NOT BUY THIS PRINTER.

Where did you get the service manual? I'm still on my original cartridges and the printer is 3 months old (workforce 610) and the print heads are clogged already. Sigh...
