I’ve had it for at least 6 years. It barely uses ink and has no problem sitting off for months. I’ve never cleaned the nozzles. I printed 40+ 13x19 (2.5 A4s) full-color prints and at least that many sketches in grayscale and only 3 cartridges got low. I’ve only replaced a full set once at a cost of $120. High-grade 13x19 paper costs $0.30 per sheet. Even factoring in that the printer cost $700, it’s already paid for itself several times.
The only real issue is it’s very slow. It takes minutes to wake up and full-color photo-quality A4 prints take at least a minute. More if you’re doing 13x19.
Now, if you’re doing fast full-color on cheap office paper, you bought the wrong printer. :)
My experience with Epson printers is they use absolute obscene amounts of ink and gum up if they get lonely.
