Summary: Good Printer
Review: I work at a school and we have 3 of these printers. We work them very hard and they have so far kept up with the demanding performance of the students and teachers. Overall a great printer. The only thing is that the performance of plain paper is a not as good as it could be, but the photo performance is excellent for the price.

Summary: Followup review, warranty expired, still handles paper well
Review: I wrote a review a while back about this item and promised to follow up once the warranty expired. Other owners had commented that they had problems with their printers. I am happy to report we have not, but then again, we don't print much more than photos on ours. Some of the newer Epsons can handle edge to edge printing on Epson paper. I tried other paper, and the results are not as good as Epson paper. The newer Epson's might be better at handling "other people's paper".I did get to use a Epson 777 about a few months back, and it was better than this model. So Epson has made improvements that should help alleviate the complaints about this model from other owners. I'm looking at buying another one of these Epson just to get a faster print speed on my high resolution photos. Currently a 4x6 high resolution (1440 dpi) takes about 1-2 minutes to print. END

Summary: Excellent printer, but...
Review: I've found this printer to be a First Rate companion to my Sony digital camera. I'll never send film off to get developed again. BUT: It positively EATS ink cartridges. At clost to $30 a cartridge, ink was costing more than $1 per letter size full color page. Then I found a place on teh net that sells ink bulk that you can refill the cartridges with. So now ink costs about 5 cents per full letter page or less.

Summary: New it's great, Ill followup when the warranty expires
Review: I've had this printer since December 1999, and it's only April2000. So I hope all the problems mentioned by those that have ownedthis printer for more than a year were corrected when mine was manufactured. As for ink usage, I have been printing 4x6 photos and just a couple of full 8x10 photos. I am still on the same original ink tanks that I got with the printer. I have printed about 150+ 4x6 color photos at mostly 1440 resolution. I still have roughly 40% left according to the tank monitor. As for the quality of the printout -- the paper makes all the difference in the world. Buy the Epson 4x6 photo paper online, it's 1/2 price compared to what you pay at a store. The reason why Epson's paper is better than say Royal Brite's 4x6 glossy photo paper is simple, Epson's provides a tear off margin which gives the printer room to handle the paper. That's the key to this printer with paper handling, you need to leave room about 3/8" along the sides & top, and 1/2" along the bottom to prevent smearing or other mishandling. Other tips, if you have a 640x480 photo, shrink it down to 3x5 size (55%) to get the best printout. To print a good quality print at the 4x6 size, you need to start with 1024x780 resolution and shrink it to fit the paper using your program's page setup properties.

Summary: Pretty colors, poor track record
Review: My business purchased 4 of these a year ago, drawn by the low price. Three of them no longer work.

Summary: I love this printer!
Review: My one complaint is that it is noisy. But I can live with that for the quality of printing and speed of output in this price range. Just don't forget to buy a printer cable!

Summary: Dependable Up to a Point
Review: Overall this was a dependable printer for a while, but it has a glitch that causes the return carriage to get stuck. In other words you may be getting warranty work soon. The paper feeding function is less than smooth. If you're on a cheap budget this might be a good buy but understand that getting warranty work is not fun.

Summary: Oh, buy more stuff to go with it, incidentally.
Review: Remember the days when you'd spend money on a product and it would come with what you'd need to use it? Those days are over. Maybe this machine works, maybe it doesn't; at this rate I'll never find out. It doesn't come with a USB cable, and the booklet enclosed with the printer doesn't tell you what kind to buy. You need an A-to-B connector. I discovered this by purchasing the only USB connector at my local electronics store, which was an A-to-A. Since I'm new to USB, it would be handy if the Epson booklet said something about this under "USB" in the index. It does not. Before even getting to the point where the instructions said to connect it to the computer, the printer barfed out on the "cleaning" process. I followed the instructions carefully. I only bought this thing because eternal upgrade fever forced me to, rendering it impossible to use my old printer with my newer computer. I assumed it would be a complete item, ready to Plug-n-Play-n-Go. Bad assumption.
