Epson Artisan series is one of the best ones they came out with.
I own a Epson Artisan 835, it was the first Epson printer I had purchased in a couple of years and was really surprised by how well it performs.
Prints speeds are pretty fast, not much slower than a laser printer, and far faster than my old printer.
I have mine configured for wireless use and haven’t had a problem using it on all the computers in my house.
Only criticism is you’ll have to be a little careful on the paper you use. Too soft and the printer can grab a bunch at a time and jam.
The small ink cartridges are a little small though and can run out pretty quick. So keep a few spares of each color handy… Unless you opt for the optional external ink tanks that I think a 3rd party ink company makes for this series.
I bought the 835 about 5 months ago. Biggest complaint is the paper jamming 90 percent of the time I print. Also so mad I cannot print from my iOS devices. Otherwise the quality and speed of the printer are great
