I wanted to know whether it enlarges/reduces copies

stupid design
I just cannot believe the sheer stupidity of some people.
FINALLY epson make a printer with a flat back and no sticky-outy paper tray that can stand against the wall. And then they put all the connectors on the back. And sell it with a straight mains cable. So it still stands 10cms out from the wall. What are they thinking?
Obviously nothing.

Incredibly expensive to run
I bought this and agree that print speed is ok and print quality is excellent. However the printing costs were/are enourmous, with much of the ink being used on the head cleaning that was needed every time it was used (about every third day for occasional photos and more often 10-40 page reports). It now sits under my desk in work in case I need a standby printer.
