I have not had the printer too long, so I'm still waiting to see how well the ink holds up - if it dries up or doesn't last long, but so far so good. I am printing about 10 pics every week (sending to elderly in-laws in another state who don't do any kind of social media).

Didn't even have it for a week and it wouldn't work. All I did was insert the ink cartridges while setting it up and it kept saying that the ink levels weren't enough for initializating even though all of the ink cartridges were brand new. Calling Epson support and they were useless too.

My printer died and I ordered this one, then I got sick and couldn't deal with installing it. My sister-in-law stayed with us for a while and one of the things she did to help was to unpack the new printer, throwing disclaimers all along that she's not a technical person and this wasn't her forte.

I always buy an Epson printer as they are more reliable then other printers and produce excellent photos.

But if you simply need a basic, inexpensive AIO for light-duty use in a home office, the XP-6000 is a solid choice. Small and Capable Measuring 5.6 by 13.7 by 19.8 inches (HWD) and weighing a slight 14.6 pounds, the Epson XP-6000 ($149.99 at Amazon Canada) is, as its name implies, small for an all-in-one (AIO) printer, However, Canon, HP, and Brother all offer models in about the same (or smaller) size and weight.
