Highly dissatisfactory customer service and poor quality product
I bought a printer from epson, L100 model, from very beginning it demanded servicing every alternate month and the very next day of its warranty getting over, they blocked its printing skiing for servicing costing 500rs. I was agreeable to that also, but the customer servicing is so poor, u have to keep calling them, requesting them to send a support staff however, no one turns up, despite promising several days, the support staff is sooo rude and unmannered, they disconnect phons on the face, give no reference no. of complaint and are not at all supportive of helping the clients problem. Worst printers to buy in terms of after purchase servicing.

Epson WP-4530
Basicly are a huge steaming pile of excrement... We are on our 7th one. And yes I said 7th. The first one lasted a about 4 months. Then the pink print head went bad. We had to give the customer service guy a CC# so he would send us another one. A REFURBISHED one by the way. When they say refurbished products could have cosmetic blemishes? I wonder if they meant the huge unsightly scratches down the front of our replacement? The second lasted a week then died out right. My time is worth about $80 an hour. I have spent at least 45-50 ours messing with this. The other folks I know have Brother. They seem to work well. We are borrowing a 5 year old printer right now and it works fantasticly.

Must have color ink in carts in order to print in black-only.
From our email to Epson: We bought printer a few months ago. First cartridge did not last long, but we figured it was just a starter. Second one, #124 lasted about 2 weeks with well under the 200-300 black pages we should have gotten. We bought another which then would not work at all.After spending a long time on the phone, we were told that it will not work if one or more COLOR carts are low. This is NOT what is stated online or on the instructions with the printer. It states that even if a color cart is "expended" that you can print black by selecting Plain Paper and Black Ink/Grayscale. On the phone a supervisor told me that is not the case. She is sending some color carts, but now we always have to be mindful of the color levels and be forced to buy color that we would not otherwise need. We have owned several printers and NEVER had one that would not print black when the color was low or out. This is a poor feature that you make even worse by your erroneous instructions. [It's been 2 weeks and have not received the color carts]

EPSON GOREGAON SERVICE CENTRE BAD
I PURCHASED FROM BIG BAZAR A EPSON ALL IN ONE PRINTER IN MAR 2102 WHICH STARTED GIVING THE TROUBLES FROM BEGINNING. IN 6 MONTHS TIME, BLANK PAGES STARTED TO PRINT SO REPLACED THE CARTRIDGES. SAME PROBLEM REPEATED IN 2 MONTHS, CALLED THE SERVICE AGENT WHO TOOK THE PRINTER, ORIGINAL BILL & WARRANTY CARD. SINCE 12TH DEC 2012, EPSON SERVICE CENTRE IN GOREGAON MUMBAI (ALKA) HAS JUST BEEN PROLONGING THE REPAIR. HEAD OF THE PRINTER NEEDS REPLACEMENT. SOMETIMES THE EXCUSE IS THAT THE BILL IS MISPLACED, OTHER TIMES THE WARRANTY SEEMS TO BE OVER ETC. ETC. IT IS A VERY BAD AFTER SALES SERVICE. A BIG NO TO EPSON PRINTERS

Printer dead for good after 4 years
My Epson Artisan 700 printer is just 4 years old, but apparently Epson has figured this to be long enough for their planned obsolescence to kick in. I received an error message from my printer saying: your ink pads are nearing the end of their service life. I tried contacting customer (HAHA!) service, and was told you are out of luck. Take your printer to one of our "service locations", each about an hours drive away (and I live in a major city, btw) want to ship instead? Well, those printers are heavy...how much do you think that will run you? Anyway, my choices are: drive/mail my prointer in to be repaired..prob looking at AT LEAST 100.00, OR buy a new printer. GUESS WHICH COMPANY WILL NEVER SEE MY BUSINESS AGAIN??? EPSON...YOU SUCK!!!!!

Epson printers suck!
I purchased an epson printer over a month ago and it has never worked correctly. I have to turn it on and then turn it off to get it to work. And it won't print properly even with new catridges! It is suppose to work wirelessly and doesn't, I have to waste page after page of paper in the hopes that it figures out it's issue and prints a full page. This printer is brand new and I'm going to have to spend money on a new printer again! I should have stuck with my old HP.

Epson printers SUCK!!
I have the Workforce 40 which I bought because it is wireless. Well, I bought a new router and now the printer doesn't work after following all the *** instructions on the Epson website. Their help on their site is absolutely worthless. Of course they don't have an 800 number and the number listed only works during certain hours Monday - Friday. I emailed their technical support. Well, they did get back to me, but what they sent me was literally copied and pasted from one of the first levels of help from their website. So, they're lazy, they rip you off, and their products suck. I can't wait for them to go out of business. I URGE EVERYONE TO NOT BUY EPSON PRODUCTS.

Guess what? They are still junk.
I have one that I've owned for only 2 years with occasional use. Have not even had to refill any of the ink reservoirs yet. Now I'm getting the 031006 code (that indicates that the control board is shot).
It's been on a UPS or surge suppressor the entire time. I have Canon and HP printers that are 10 years or older that still work - slow, but they work.

Epson has lost a customre
The Artisan 800 is an ink hog that perpetuates their ink sales. Decent AIO but costs me about $600 in ink (4 refills). Well no more, I got a new Brother Laser Printer B&W that will run off about 2000 sheets before needing a $40 toner replacement cartridge. I don't understand how Epson uses color cartridges for B&W printing, makes no sense. Epson: You screwed yourself, not only did you lose a customer for your products, but ink as well. I'll never buy another one of your products and I'll tell as many of my friends as I can when they're thinking of changing printers.

Epson specializes in customer "no service"
Long story. I have multiple Epson printers in my small business. Their customer no service department wasted weeks of my time -- sending me a printer cartridge to see if there was "really a problem". When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was first of all told they didn't want to speak to me. I was put thru only after I told them I was going to post this complaint. However, her mantra was the same. It was all about the company's policy; nothing about the customer's needs. As I told her, it must be nice to be big enough that your customers are unimportant.

Epson NX 430 Tech Support
I am the owner of a new Epson NX 430 all in one printer. it's defective with poor print quality and under warranty. I've now spent over 1.5 hrs with tech support on 3 separate calls. Though they spoke English the process was very painful. My Ref # 120 32* 001 *60. The replacement unit was sent last week Thursday and to be delivered in 2 days and I had to give a credit card to secure the exchange for $89. They charged the credit card in less than 24 hrs. The unit cost $50 but I was told that when they received the defective unit returned by me that my account would be credited. After getting off the phone a few minuets ago with tech support who again promised me 24 hr delivery I decided to file a complaint. This has been a very poor experience and I will not purchase another Epson product!

EPSON All In One NX 100 JUNK!!!
Bought the NX -100 a little over a year ago, liked it for about a month, before it started fighting with me Every Day. first it ran through ink in half the time of any other printer I'd seen, until I stopped buying their cartridges and started using generics that oddly enough had Twice as much ink as the official Eppies. Then the machine started detecting the unofficial cartridges and refusing to print with them installed. Overcame that with refillables that reset the Epsom smart reader and pretended they were Eppie cartridges. Thought I ws finally home free until today, when the machine again refused to print, this time posting an onscreen note " There are internal parts which have reached the end of their service life. Contact Epson Support for Servicing" And of course it locked down and won't print. Contacted support, got an unlock code to reset the "internal pages printed counter" spent an hour uploading, downloading, fighting with my Vista software about being allowed to run the Epson page count fix software, etc. surprise, the software posted its own message that the unit did not need to be re-set and shut itself down, but still left the printer refusing to print, because IT has decided its at end of life and steadfastly refuses to print. Scanner, Fax, Printer, now all dead because the ink sponges are full and you can't change them or get new ones unless you ship the little *** to a service center. BTW, contacted them, and they confirm its not worth the trouble to do the service, so they just send you a refurbed unit for $100.00 or so, and "recycle the ones that declare they're dead" So basically, twice the ink cost of any other printer, until you get past the cartridge analyser inside, constantly rejecting unofficial ink, slow as *** to decide to print when it actually does, and after a year of light office work, it declares itself dead in the water and suggests you go buy a replacement. Want to gues what brand will Never come home with me again?

Epson printers will not work if one of the four color cartridges is empty. I tried to print a letter (black and white), but the magenta ink cartridge was empty. I went to the Printer Properties and set it to print "Black Ink Only", but that didn't even work. I...

buy an HP or CANON, i resale printers and every EPSON ive got has been nothing but issues. HP is the most user friendly best option in my opinion.
i had one epson with 2 prints on it (brand new) cleaned the print head put it back together and it fried all the electronics. needless to say epson is the fake high-end printer.

I am on my 3rd one now. The ink cartridges they sent me do not work or the 3rd unit isn't recognizing the cartridges! This has been the biggest waste of money ever!!!
