Summary: Landscapes YES, people NO
Review: While the Stylus Photo 870 renders excellent prints of objects and landscapes, skintones always have a marked violet cast. None of the numerous adjustments provided in the driver software seem to impact this shortcoming. I used Epson photo paper, and found no difference relative to other Premium photo papers. This same paper yields perfect colors with an HP895 inkjet printer, using the identical file, software, and computer.If your images do not include people, you will be happy with the Photo 870. Otherwise, you will be extremely dissapointed.

Summary: Great printer, but only if you watch the ozone
Review: Yes, I'm serious about the ozone, but let me start with the review: this is one fine phot printer. I use it with Windows and am completely impressed with the output. I prefer to print 4x5 photos, so I print on the 4x5 roll paper from Red River - its less than half the cost of Epson's paper and I like the results better. Print cartridge life is terrific with 4x5 prints, and obviously a good bit shorter with 8x10s. Printe speed is quite fast, and I had no installation issues. It does take a few minutes to become familar with the print driver options, as there are a lot of choices. Onto the ozone issue. There has been an issue with color changes ("orange shift") that some people have experienced and Epson has acknowledged. It seems that reds slide over towards orange when exposed to high ozone levels (which seems to occur only in some geographic areas). The good news is that Epson has a buy back program in place if you are unhappy. Despite the potential ozone issue, I highly recommend this printer. In my experience with Canon and HP photo printers, this Epson photo printer is the best one for money.
