• Produces borderFree photos in popular frame-ready sizes
• Speeds through black text up to 18 PPM and color up to 9 ppm

Excellent value. Prints, copies, flatbed scans as expected. Uniquely prints photos that are smug and water resistant. No other multi-function manufacturer offers that.

Well engineered. Smooth and easy setup. Photos are excellent for a multi-function, nearly as good as my Epson Picturemate.

I thought about buying the more expensive Epson CX5800F because it offers fax. I seldom use fax so instead I''ll just scan in the document, then either email or use internet fax.

My only knock is that this is marketed under the overloaded term "All in one" so I guess that makes the CX5800F an "All-er in one". It would be so much clearer if the industry adopted acronyms like PSC or PSCF to clearly distinguish major functions at a glance.

Good printer for the money, but it is not true when you say "All in one printer" this term we use with printers that can do

1. Print

2. Copy

3. Scan

4. Fax

This printer does 1st 3 so I might call it "Almost All in one printer", I mean EPSON could have add a small modem port while putting all this scanning and printing hardware, I am sure it would cost less then a $1 to EPOSN giving the margin of being printer manufacturing giant of the world.

Printer is fast but not fast enough as its peers like Canon, also printing speed mentioned in the book must be "Draft" printing speed otherwise if you could have more then one regular page in 30sec you might be printing a triangle or a single phrase per page :)

okay lets talk about quality, I gave it 5/5 period, for a dirt cheap printer (I got it for $30 from Staples.com) it does meet or exceed any expectation you might have for a printer in this category.

Scanning is good but software should have little more options but copy function is a killer, just press color or B/W button from the printer (whatever type of copy you need) and boom, you got a copy in less then a minute while sitting on your desk and without truing on the computer, cool isn''t it? No more going to store for a stupid 5 cent copy and waste of 1/2 gallon of gas; not to mention the time wasted (on invested).

Complete waste of Ink as all EPOSN printers are; it does a little version of head cleaning every time you turn it on, better keep it on to save the ink, use only 3 Watts in sleep mode since Epson Stylus CX3810 has earned the ENERGY STAR® by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Remember printer manufacturers make money from the sales of ink cartridges not printer so these suckers drink ink faster then your fish drink water. (this cliché seems little far fetched huh?)

this printer use Durabrite ink but I don''t :) , I use compatible dye based ink cartridges from eBay; ¼ the price and does the trick as per my requirements, shhhhhhh..... don''t tell EPSON!!!

I mean come on; get serious here, why should I pay 4 times more for a ink that last 80 year? I am sure I might not last that long myself :) you know I am not maintaining historical archive for the library of congress using this printer :)

I use it for my every day work and most of my print out heading towards garbage bin after I am done with them; in some cases they go out to postal mail where I am sure I don''t need them for next 80 years.

For Photo printing I always use 6 colors printing where as this printer has 4 basic colors so detail in photos are not that "detail" but again not bad either, if you print photos on good quality photo papers they came out as "keepers".

Just bought and installed it , installation was a breeze. Ran my first print , good print results and extremetly quiet while printing.

Scanned a picture and it scanned perfect with great results but it was bit slow and the software lets you save in various formats like PDF JPEG TIFF.

Love the single button copy feature but a bit slow though. Can''t expect more for that price.

Overall 5 stars, just wish the inks were a bit cheaper. Very happy with my purchase.

I got this for $40 at Staples after rebates. My HP just died, and I needed something quick. For that money, it''s a bargain. But you get what you pay for.

PROS Inexpensive AIO

CONS Stand-alone copier is disappointing, printing is a bit slow

Printer Works fine, but quite slow

Scanner Works fine

Photo printer No experience

Ink Uses 4 catridges, a plus. The cartridges are easy to load, and the software monitors ink level, that''s nice.

Installation Follow the instructions on the included "Getting Started" poster. Takes about 15 minutes at most.

Stand-alone copier Useless. If you want 5 copies, you have to press the "Start" button 5 times!

DOS Since it doesn''t support PCL, printing in DOS may be difficult.

As a second printer, or for a dorm room, this printer is a bargain. As a day to day work-horse, look elsewhere.

BOTTOM LINE The printer is worth $40, but doesn''t meet MY needs. I knew it wouldn''t, but as I said I needed somehing to replace my dead HP real fast.

Works well. It prints how I expected it to for a low priced printer. I picked it up at a local Staples for $59.95 after rebates and it does everything I wanted it to. I love having the scanner and with seperate inks, it saves me a lot of money on refills. I liked the software that came with it and it is easy to use to me. Epson is a great company and this is a great printer.
