Retailer reviewIndexed Oct 8, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — Amazon review

Amazon.fr product-page review ('ne fonctionne plus au bout d'un an à peine!'). [Translated from French] Worked until magenta stopped printing entirely after about a year. Nozzle checks/cleanings and original Epson ink did not restore magenta; seller refused help while still under 2-year legal warranty period per owner.
