Coolblue review by Jutta (22 September 2025; written for Epson EcoTank ET-2871). After one year the printer no longer does what is asked: takes about 10 minutes per page, prints with blotches, needs alignment every few pages, and must be manually instructed before every job. Bought for a one-person office; would not recommend even to a private user with lots of time.
