Rating: Summary: epson smepsun Review: This is the second epson I have owed. One thing I can tell you about this brand is they are LOUD, put on some headphones when you are printing things out, oh and the desk better be secure because they rock back and forth, I though mine was going to walk off the table! The print, its ok but also expect the paper to jam a lot on thicker card stock. Oh and make sure you order some head cleaner from www.maxpatch.com. The heads constantly get dirty and they sell a fluid that will clean them. with HP or Lexmark every time you buy a new cartridge you get a new head, not so with epson. When I am making greating cards, mine likes to leave nice black track marks. I have cleaned the rollers and it still does it, guess its a gift from epson. If you want a good printer buy HP or Lexmark, yes you pay more for ink, but the photo quality prints are just as good and they are super quite. My printer is in my bedroom and when I print in the morning the noise is enough to wake up my girlfriend. stay away from epson
Rating: Summary: A general Purpose Printer it is not! Review: This printer cannot print envelopes without jamming! Is there more to say?
Rating: Summary: epson smepsun Review: This printer is a joke! Sure, it prints good pictures - but the print head gets clogged so often that most of the ink in your ink cartridges is drained before you can do much! If you let this printer sit for a week, you will need to run the head cleaning utility - which drains a visible amount of ink on the ink monitor . Subsequently, you run out oif ink in less than two months without doing much printing at all! It's ridiculous!I bought ink cartridges three weeks ago, have printed nothing but a few resumes (no color) and now they are both halfway drained. Tell me, is this reasonable? I think not.

Rating: Summary: Epson Stylus Photo 825 Printer Review Review: This printer is a perfect companion to your digital camera. It is a great photo printer for the whole family. The EPSON Stylus Photo 825 is great for digital camera owners who want amazing photo printing results, along with standard text printing. With the printer's built-in card slot, you don't have to use your computer to print that special photo. Just insert your media card from your digital camera directly into the printer and create borderless prints and enlargements. Right from the printer, your images are ready to frame, place in your album, or give to family and friends. This printer is like having your own digital mini lab at home. I highly recommend this printer to anyone looking for an easy-to-use and great quality photo printer.
Rating: Summary: Great print quality but very frusterating.. Review: This printer probably has the best quality of printing photos I have ever seen when you print direct from a memory card. Printing from the computer is ok. It doesn't go through ink as fast as I had expected and the ink is cheaper than I was paying for my Compaq printer. But the huge problem with this printer is trying to feed the roll of 4x6 photo paper into it, it jams up constantly and just keeps printing on nothing, certainly not the paper and the red jam buttom seems like it is constantly on. Also, I normaly have a Compact Flash memory card and it works fine but I put a digital camera memory stick in the reader and the printer refused to work. When I put the memory stick back in the camera it said FORMAT ERROR and all the pictures were gone. Big mistake for Epson!! I liked the printer until that episode. Right now the memory card reader isn't working at all and Epson is reimbursing me.
Rating: Summary: New to photo printing, but easy to learn with this printer Review: This was my first photo printer, and I love it!! I have a Nikon 5700 coolpix, however, which is hard core digital camera, so I don't know how this printer preforms with a lesser quality camera. Instructions were simple for the most part. The only thing I don't like is the control panel directily on the printer, a little confusing, but I still need some practice.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Printer Review: Very good buy for the money you spend. Can use all types of smart media cards. Very reliable and fast.
Rating: Summary: beware Review: We bought the epson 825 and it was the worst money we spent. It only worked for 7 mnths and the paper feeder broke. After we called they shipped us what we thought was a new one, that actually turned out to be refurbished. They don't stand behind their products. They don't even have an 800 number to call then on. How much money are they trying to milk you out of. Do not buy!!!
Rating: Summary: Great photos! Review: We purchased this along with the Olympus Camedia D-550 3MP Digital Camera for our trip to Paris. We are thrilled with both. The camera took great photos (especially in night mode) and this printer makes them look 10 times better than they do on the computer screen. For anyone else who fell for the rebate offer, we use the camera in the higher quality 3X2 mode with a 128MB card and have been very satisfied with the quality of the photos. So far, I've tried four photo papers. The Epson premium glossy that came with the printer made did quite well. It's a thrill to be able to print large, glossy 8X10 photos on demand! We also picked up a pack of the normal glossy Epson 4X6 with perforated edges. The perforations were handy (much better than trimming with scissors), but as noted by another reviewer, the trace of what looks like perforations is visible on the photo if you look *really* hard. Certainly not anything that I would notice if I weren't looking for it and I won't let this stop me from finishing up the pack of paper. However, I may steer toward the premium glossy paper in the future to avoid this. As for the heavyweight matte paper that came with the printer, ugh! It sucked the life out of my photo. Perhaps it could be appropriate for some printing activities, but not photos. Don't waste your ink. The final paper that we tried was the Kodak Ultima heaviest weight 4X6, using the "premium glossy" and "borderless" settings. Although I have to do some trimming, the color on the Kodak paper wins out over even the Epson premium glossy for richer, more satisfying colors in a side-by-side comparison of the same photo printed on the two papers. Overall, it's a great printer!
