Summary: Bad choice!!! Do not like this printer.
Review: When I went to go looking for printers, a Epson representative was there at Best Buy and told me about all of the great features of this printer, and how the ink economy was better than most.As my wife uses this printer a lot it seems to have a lot of issues that are not easy resolved. The printer jams paper a lot and has a hard time loading paper. The 4X6 roll that you can use is practically useless since the paper is all curled after it's printed. Also the printer takes more than one sheet quite frequently. We noticed that it will not print on HP Photo Paper which we were used to and have found to be one of the better papers to print photos on. Another thing we find irritating is it always clogs and we are always having to waste ink by doing the self clean utility. Very bad design. Not only do we waste a lot of ink unclogging it but it doesn't print very many pictures per ink cartridge. I remember having our old HP printer last for about 2 months on one cartridge. We seem to buy a new cartridge every 2 weeks. I would not recommend this printer. HP seems to be better. Or maybe Canon but we haven't tried a Canon yet.

Summary: Poorly Manufactured, Over-priced Printer
Review: When I went to go looking for printers, a Epson representative was there, and told me about all of the wonderful features of this printer, and how the ink economy was rather good. This is pretty far from the truth. This printer has many problems. First of all, it has a bad paper loading design, so often when it is printing; it will grab 2 or 3 sheets at a time. This is the least of its problems. This 'photo quality' printer may have good resolution and all, but it smears ink quite often and good resolution or not, a smear in the ink just ruins a picture. The major problem with this printer however, is that the print heads get clogged VERY OFTEN. Just about every other time you print, you have to have the printer clean it's print heads, which is time consuming, and wastes ink. I have gone through one and a half cartridges of color ink, and one of black, and have only printed around 5 or 6 color images. A few weeks ago, I was trying to have it print a simple text document, and it took about 20 minutes because I had to clean the print heads 3 times in order to get a print without streaks and lines. In conclusion, this printer is poorly designed, it goes through ink at a ridiculous rate, and is very very unreliable. Do yourself a big favor and DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER.

Summary: Buy the "Epson 925 Lottery" Printer and see if you win!
Review: When it works the pictures, transfers and post cards we've produced look great! The problem is: you just don't know when it's NOT going to look great. You *must* baby-sit the printer, and about half way through each print (when you can actually see a portion of the image) decide if the printer is function correctly. To get two transfers (at a each, just for the paper) we've had to print four times... wasting paper. 1st try: good. 2nd: oops - clean the heads (uses ink). 3rd: oops, clean the head. 4th: great! Tah-dah! Post cards: same thing. Several great Xmas cards in a row, then wham! Bad one. Clean the heads. Several good, and another bad. If you like babysitting, don't mind wasting money every now and then, enjoy listening to the printer cleaning the heads and printing test sheets, this printer is for you! Love the instructions that come with Epson's transfer paper, too. "Place the printable side up," it says. Uh, could you be a little less specific? There's two sides, and this is my first time using the paper. Is that the smooth side, or the rough side? "Choose 'Flip Image' in the driver." Uh, AIN'T no flippin' "Flip Image" option anywhere I can find! On the plus-side: the printer has a small footprint so it doesn't take a lot of room on your desk. Ink cartridges are easy to replace. On the negative side: any paper thicker than your normal printer paper requires you be present to hand-feed each sheet. Post cards, business cards, etc will feed multiple sheets and jam the printer. Another "Engineering" marvel. Yeah, but when it works... nice pictures are assured! When I win the lottery, I'll try a different brand, and let you know how they compare.
