Epson Artisan 810 Color Inkjet All-In-One Printer This instant

I've had the unit for a week and am running it under Windows 7 64-bit. Software installation was event-free. The only issue so far is with my nVidia 9600 GT display card which locks up but recovers in an instant when going to a second page in Print Preview mode.

Print quality is up to Epson's standards (extremely high) for this class. Duplex printing works well but scanning is an issue for office-type uses. It scans (simplex mode only, no duplex scanning!) only to jpg or other photo-type formats, not to pdf or doc types. Every page shows up as a separate image. Quality-wise, scanning is very good.

Cartridge costs are OK, cheaper than my previous Canon MP830. I like the fact that the ink cartridges are fixed and connected to the printhead by tubing. Much less mass to move but initially requires some ink to prime the tubing. Full cartridges are supplied with the unit as well as an extra black one.

Size is quite small, made so by the elimination of the duplex scanning unit I suppose. The print duplexer does protrude from the rear by 3 inches. Noise is extremely low for the scanner but only average for the printer. Paper tray is clever in that it can hold both photo and plain paper.

Overall, I would buy again but may have to invest in more sophisticated scanning software.Get more detail about Epson Artisan 810 Color Inkjet All-In-One Printer.
