sorted byOne of the problems I had with previous cartridge printers is that the ink dries and the printer will go through a clean cycle and waste ink. I'd go through ink cartridges like there's no tomorrow despite very minimal printing. These Ecotanks printers, although pricier than the regular cartridge inkjets, are worth it in my opinion.
The app printing makes things easier. It could do with some refinement. The print and scan quality is as expected from an all-in-one inkjet. And photo printing is a bust, as is with all inkjets in this price range.
Went to Costco in Bristol this evening (01/03) and they had loads left on a pallet next to the TV's.
Got home set it up. Initially dissapointed thinking the colours weren't great, but sought advice online and changed to better quality paper, downloaded the specific driver and PERFECT.
Found some glossy photo paper I had lying around and printed a photo through the Epson App and I'd say the quality is on par with the same photo I had printed at Snapfish. For the price, factoring in the low cost of ink also, its needless to say I'm massivley impressed.
Negatives- it's a little noisey while printing (and priming!). The app is functional and not overly refined, but just does what you need it to. It also feels weirdly lightweight so I'm not sure what that means in terms of build quality and therefore reliability, but as I've only had it 6 hours I can't really comment- plus with the Costco 2 year warranty should be a non-issue (I hope).
TL:DR- For the money, flawless...
For anyone that doesn't know, Midjourney creates pictures which are effectively too small for printing, but there are various paid for and open source upscalers which can do a fantastic job of upscaling the AI generated art.
Here's an example >
AI (Machine learning) is becoming very adept now at rapid prototyping and art generation, it will be at an unimaginable place in 5 years from now and will be the tools of everyday life. 10 years from now it is unimaginable what will be possible such is the rapid advance of this technology. The world is about to rapidly change as we approach the singularity (I think 30-50 years away for that, but possibly before). (edited)
Again, generally, though construction of the plastic parts is flimsy, a little more so than most flimsy modern printers, I'm happy with the printer, the mechanism at least doesn't sound cheap/strained, and would recommend if you're fed up with ink cartridges/inconsistent third party cartridges, or with the mess and hassle of refilling cartridges, if your printer even allows that.
