Rating: Summary: Xerox M750 inkjet Review: As quite a newcomer to computers, the instructions got a stringent test! The software insisted on connecting to output LPT when I wanted USB (the dropdown menu only gave this option). The physical installation was pretty easy, care being needed with print heads. There was no output cable included with the kit- pretty mean Xerox! The M750 worked quite well for me (I don't have anything to compare with). 'By-pass' printing was a 'knack'(many wasted envelopes!)- don't print until rollers 'snatch' your envelope or it won't go. Address can be misplaced with auto setting- set manually to be sure. Ink price a big shock! Black tank £24 (US$33). Xerox- I aint gonna pay that much- searching for refill kit right now. Why do they do that?
Rating: Summary: Is fine when it works.... Review: I bought this because of price and have been paying dearly ever sense. They do not have a service center here in the sixth largest city in the United States. You have to deal with clowns thru e-mail that want you to take off of work to pay a toll charge so they will not be inconvienced. Mine constantly has to be reset and now after about 40 resets I think it has totally died. The color quality is not that good as others. Does not work well with my ME operating system and not at all with my 2000. I am going to go buy an HP....
Rating: Summary: A bargain for sure. Review: I bought this printer 2 days ago at ...for [price]. I bought it to replace the HP 1000 that has become extinct and came up with a stack overflow error that is not fixable. I print business cards and find that a resolution of 1200 by 1200 makes a finer picture. It was easy to set up with the disk on Windows ME. It did not come with a printer cable.. major problem. Isn’t that customary?? The printer does vibrate like no body’s business. I started to buy a set of ink cartridges but noticed that would set me back [price]… and the print heads (no clue how long they last) cost [price] each. With these costs in mind, I decided to buy another printer…. Extra cartridges, extra print heads, extra everything. A really smart decision. At this price, it is a steal!! And with replacement parts an inexpensive as they are (hint) a bargain!
Rating: Summary: Very good for the price Review: I bought this printer 3 weeks ago at Office Depot for [amt.]. I have a laser but wanted inkjet for printing CD labels, iron on t-shirts, printing family pictures etc. The demo page looked amazing, especially for the price. So I got it just to try it out and I will keep it. Several points I noticed that will help you decide on this one: 1. Printer is not easy to set up with Windows 2000 - you need to download the driver (it does not come on the CD), than unzip it, than install it; 2. No printer cable included in the box, which these days is standard practice among manufacturers; 3. 3 color cartridges is a great feature (developed by Canon) - it saves money in the long run; 4. Printer is loud and vibrates, to the point my 19 inch monitor moves left and right when this machine prints 5. Text quality and speed is excellent, though it's not laser quality (I have yet to see inkjet with text quality matching laser printers, don't believe what they say about this feature); 6. Color printing is very good, though not excellent. The biggest problem I found is that the quality is not consistent - 1 day it's light, next day it's darker, all with the same settings. But for [amt.], you cannot beat it. And if you print high quality digital picture on glossy photo paper, it will take your breath away, it's so good! 7. No jams, no problems, except when you cancel job during operation, printer acts stupid and won't do anything, you need to unplug power cable etc. So just don't cancel printing in the middle and you'll be fine. 8. Buy good quality paper (inkjet coated), you'll appreciate the difference. For the price, you cannot beat it! If money was not an issue, I would buy Canon S600, [amt.] street, for a truly amazing text and photo quality output! Go to Best Buy and see for yourself, it's the best printer currently on the market. You will not believe your eyes! Until than, Xerox M750 will do the job just fine.
Rating: Summary: A good printer for scientific purposes Review: I bought this printer for use in biological/scientific material, such as fluorescence microscopy of cells labeled with antibodies rodamine -conjugated. The images obtained were very good. This printer is not noisy, and the color obtained are very close to the real color. The images are sharp and clear, and the price very good. I loved it!
Rating: Summary: Too namy problems, even at this price. Review: I bought this printer from Amazon.com two years ago. Things were fine at first; installation was easy and print quality was good. The first problems arose when I tried to connect it with its USB port. The issue was solved through Xerox's website, but periodic crashes and lockups are the norm now. Over time, print quality has deteriorated dramatically. I've experienced printhead and ink clogging/drying problems that have put me in the market for a new printer. I bought the M750 because it was relatively inexpensive and looked like it would remain [inexpensive] to operate since ink cartridges could be replaced individually by color. The short, two-year lifetime doesn't seem very cost-effective now.
Rating: Summary: Very Satisfied Review: I bought this printer over two months ago to replace my HP printer and have been very satisfied. The setup disk walks you through the installation process. It only took a few minutes before I was up and running. The printer prints both b&w and color very quickly, especially if you use the draft mode (which is still very good quality - especially for first drafts of papers). I also like the size of the black ink cartridge (less late night runs to Wal-mart to try to find ink). It also has an low ink indicator. My wife has also been happy with the invitations we've printed (it is very easy to put in different size paper). Overall, a great printer for the money.
Rating: Summary: Great... For Text... Review: I bought this product it looked pretty good... 1200x1200 res. 10 pages per minute in black, up to 6 in full color and seperate ink cartriges... So I set it up and it was working great... I printed a picture with it... it came out horrible even on best with Photo Paper... The Droplets are very easy to see and the colors where always washed out... So I thought... well it's got to be something in the settings... So I enable "Picture Logic" which made it come out darker but, the image was still washed out... Overall I would say that this printer in overal productivity and performance and I love the Bypass Door... But, if you are looking for a printer to print nice crisp color images... Go with something a bit more expensive... Maybe, though I didn't really like the quality, a Canon S450... but, I ended up spending more and getting a Hewlett Packard 932C and it works great Maybe also check out at Hewlett Packard 832C that was my second choice for less expensive printers...
Rating: Summary: Good value Review: I got this printer a couple of weeks ago. It was a snap to put together, and the software installation to my NT laptop went off without a hitch. For the price, I am very happy with the printing quality, especially printing digitial pictures on photo quality paper. The draft mode is very nice for fair quality printing. I wish it did not shake so much when it printed, but other than that I am happy, and for the price, I think I got my money's worth.
Rating: Summary: Good impression after two weeks Review: I have had this printer for about two weeks now and so far it is an excellent value. Out of the box it was easy to set up, and the drivers were a snap. One caution for W2K users though, drivers for W2K need to be downloaded from the internet. I am not sure why Xerox does it that way, but the drivers do install quite easily. Print quality is great, and you have four levels of detail. I print a monthly tenant newsletter, and I use draft quality to save ink. It printed out 70 copies in about 5 minutes in draft mode! Overall I am impressed with the quality. I will complain that the receiver tray can pop off sometimes during printing. A strange effect indeed. With all the advantages though (I run mine via USB) and an awesome price, I HIGHLY recommend this printer. You will not be dissappointed.
