Summary: Great Printer!
Review: Can't go wrong with this printer.I had been doing some research on printers compareing Epson and HP and found this to be a good choice. Pros:
- First of all, it has a great price. I got this for 250 dollars with a 50 dollar rebate. That price alone beats any HP Printer. - Quality is excellent! It looks just like it came out of a photo lab if you are printing a high res file on photo paper. - Automatic roll with cutter is a very neat device. The printer comes with a roll of glossy paper, and what this does is it prints on a 4 inch with roll and automatically cuts it to make it 6 inches. So it makes PERFECT 4x6 prints!!! (When you select "borderless" of course. - Easy to use. This thing is very easy to use making it simple for a novice to work it. You can print without a computer also because it has an LSD screen and takes all kinds of memory cards. There are so many options on this thing it's awesome. Cons:
- It doesn't come with a USB cable, so if you purchase this printer make sure to pick up a USB cable as well or else you won't be able to print things from your computer and only from memory cards, zip drives, ect. (Although, i think most PHOTO printers don't come with USB cables these days) - Can't really think of anything else because i love this printer so much. Review:
***** Keep in mind that i haven't used another Photo printer, so i'm kind of biased towards this printer. However, i would recommend this product to anyone that's even just the slightest interested in printing out photos. If you're an amateur and are looking for a printer that prints good quality photos and is affordable, then look no further because this one's for you. *note* I looked at the HP equivalent printer and printed out sample copies, and it seemed that both printers printed at the same quality; however, this printer is about 100 bucks cheaper!

Summary: Stay Away from Epson Printers
Review: Cons: Poor paper handling with frequent jams. Ruins many photos with roller marks or wrinkles.
VERY FREQUENT nozzle clogs. I am wasting 3/4 of every ink cartridge by having to go through several cleaning cycles daily.
Nonexistent tech support, emails to tech support simply results in an automated reply that puppets back the same useless information on their website.
Epson printers are simply not worth the hassle and expense for the one in ten photo that prints correctly.

Summary: Great print quality...but too many other aggravations
Review: First the good news...this printer makes great quailty photo and document prints for the money. For me, that ends the good.
Aside from that, it has many other issues that drive me nuts. First, it takes what seems like an eternity to print the first page. Goes through a bunch of gyrations until it decides its ready to print. Its also very loud, and I think uses a lot of ink (maybe thats why the prints look so good). Finally, the thing jams pretty regularly. Its not a printer you can load a bunch of paper in, print a large document and walk away assured that when you return it will be done. More than likely, it will have jammed.
Bottom line...if you don't print too much and want quality prints, this one may be for you. If you are looking for an everyday printer...forget it.

Summary: Great printer, but childish problems
Review: Great quality, easy to use, great drivers, nice features, no payper jamming (had to study to work with rolls). only one problem, Cleaning heads on generic printing heads may be weekly, but heads so cheap, I wouldn't call it problem, just order pack of heads 3 times cheaper then others

Summary: great prints...
Review: i actually bought it based on comparisons i made at a local retailer. on the plus side, colors were richer and more realistic looking. the down side is that is does seem to be a bit of an ink hog, but i've come to accept that if you're looking for a quality print, you're going to burn through some ink. even then, it ain't THAT bad... overall, i'm quite pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great all-around printer.

Summary: Very, very sad chunk of plastic.
Review: I agree with most of the negatives I've read here. I've not had as much paper trouble as others, but enough to make me really hate the thing. The little screen is impossible to see; the controls are arcane, quirky, badly marked, and designed by Martians for Martians. I've owned quite a few Epson printers, and even 2 Epson desktops which I bought because of the name. This printer has made the name mean nothing. I only paid $100, and that was too much. Two charges of ink cost that much!

Summary: Great photos, horrible personality
Review: I agree with the other reviews here in that this printer produces amazing photos. But if you're planning on using this in your home office, read on... When used as a day-to-day printer for documents this is the worst printer I've ever had. Paper jams occur EVERY SINGLE TIME I print multiple page documents. The paper feed mechanism is the worst I've encountered, scarring some pages with it's grippers. I've tried all kinds of papers, various numbers of pages in the feeder, all to no avail. Ink is another problem. The heads clog once a day, producing a page with about 20% ink coverage. I've tried name brand and generic ink cartidges, and it doesn't seem to matter. To fix it, I have to perform a head cleaning about 3-4 times in a row to get back to decent ink coverage. So DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER if you are looking for a workhorse. It's the most-unreliable printer (I can't leave the room while I print because I know I'll have to clear a jam) I've had the misfortune of owning.

Summary: Great gift for the computer phobic
Review: I bought this printer for a freind who has no desire to own a computer. Yup, they're still out there. He loves my old digital camera I gave him. But he was frustrated taking the smart card to the drugstore for printing. He can now print his own pictures at home! The photo quality is fantastic. Really a great stand alone printer.

Summary: A great Photo Printer
Review: I have always owned HP printers but never satisfied with the quality. I am so impressed with this Epson printer. I have made beautiful copies of pictures and found it difficult to tell which was the copy. The only thing I recommend is that if you are printing pictures then use Colorlife paper.
