Summary: Fast and cheap and recommended
Review: One of the fastest ink jets, good quality, and over a three year period of use THE CHEAPEST ink jet (according to PC Magazine). Recommended by CNET and ZDNET (PC MAG) I have one on order - with the $50 rebate it is unbeatable.

Summary: Successor to the 900 - watch out for software bug
Review: The 980 is the 5th Epson Color Inkjet I have purchased (I like the Epson Printers). I bought the 980 because it is virtually identical to the 900 that I've had for 18 months, and I needed another printer off-site. The speed and quality are superb, but there is a bug in the installation software that will lock up your computer (happened on 2 of 3 computers I tested it on). Epson is aware of the bug, so be sure to download the revised driver from their internet site. Except for that problem it would rate 5 stars.

Summary: EPSON 980 LOVE
Review: This printer is awesome...totally awesome.....I am trying to find another one to buy just in case the one I have now decides to part company. I cannot believe the results of my printing. I scanned a photo and print it on the Epson photo paper, later I showed it to my wife and ask her to pick the original; guess what? she picked the printed copy from my Epson; I had a hard time convincing her which was the original. My dear EPSONSTYLUS COLOR 980, I love you.

Summary: It's "OKAY" But Not The Absolute Best
Review: This printer is very quick and easy to install. The instructions are very easy to understand. Setting up the printer took about 10 minutes tops. Installing the ink cartridges is a snap. I had no problems at all with the software. It was all good. I use this printer mainly to print out my writings and I use it A LOT. The quality of the printout is ok, but not FANTASTIC. But then, my last printer was a black and white laser printer, so maybe I'm not used to inkjet quality. My biggest complaint is that the numbers at the bottom of my printout get cut off. I think I have to fool around with the margins, but I don't really think I should have to; they should be correct from the get go. Also, the pages print from first to last, so you have to re-order the pages after they're printed out, which is annoying when you're printing out a big manuscript. But the pages do print very quicky. All in all, for the money it costs, this is a good solid printer with a few minor inconveniences.

Summary: Best of the bunch
Review: We have two of these in our office, and I was looking for two more, but they are no longer produced. Saw it originally in a comparison test in PC Mag where it was the highest rated for its class. Think we paid about $199 each for the other two. I moved from a laser to this printer, and think the quality is better with this one. Color printing not great, but passable. To get good color, you have to run the head cleaning function often. No problems in the 2 years we had used them. Generic black and color cartridges work great in these, are readily available on ebay and very inexpensive. Does go through cartridges in what seems like a short time, but again was rated as best value for cartridge replacement cost. Rate this product a B - not commercial printing quality, but good if you just need color printouts from email attachments, etc. One more thing, somewhat noisy if you're sensitive to that.
